Abstract
This article examines various methods and strategies for developing students' pragmatic competence in foreign language lessons. Pragmatic competence is the ability to use language correctly in different contexts, taking into account social norms, cultural practices and communicative intentions. The article discusses how language teachers can incorporate teaching methods that help to develop pragmatic skills, including communicative strategies, awareness of cultural difference and contextual language use. It also evaluates the role of authentic materials, technology and interactive activities in enhancing students' pragmatic competence. Studies show that a comprehensive, context-based approach can significantly increase students' effectiveness in real-world communication.
