The necessity to acquire second language became priority of all young generation. Considering its benefits learners are realizing that speaking skill is the most important one among other skills as everyone judges the level of learners according to their speech. To be proficient in a second language, learners must consider both linguistics and pragmatics. As more people, regardless of their occupation, are willing to speak in English, it is evolving into a second language in our culture. Unfortunately, the majority of students lack communication skills. It is not just due to poor vocabulary or grammar skills, but also to a lack of pragmatic awareness of the cultural and social standards of various foreign countries. Even advanced level learners are aware of significant differences between their pragmatic behavior and that of native speakers, according to Ishihara and Cohen (2010). The necessity of developing second language learners' pragmatic knowledge is covered in this article.
