Forming Students’ Linguo-Pragmatic Competence in Foreign Language Classes

Abstract

The article justifies the necessity to form higher school students’ linguo-pragmatic competence as an integral component of communicative competence that ensures successful intercultural communication. The author analyses causes of pragma-linguistic failures, provides a detailed linguistic description of the competence components, proposes a set of tasks promoting formation of linguo-pragmatic competence in foreign language classes at linguistic and non-linguistic universities. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that the researcher provides a comprehensive description of linguo-pragmatic competence and proposes a model to form linguo-pragmatic competence in foreign language classes. The research findings are as follows: the author reveals essence of linguo-pragmatic competence, clarifies its structure and suggests a set of exercises promoting formation of this competence in the process of teaching a foreign language at higher school.
