Abstract
This paper investigates the pragmatic perceptions of EFL learners in learning English language in Pakistan. This study also highlights the significance of adding the use and practice of pragmatic aspects in English language learning. The understanding of intended meaning focusing on the context is essential for English language learners in Pakistan. The perceptions of English language learners can create an impact on their perspectives of learning English and thus can help in creating better opportunities to reformulate their curriculum. A total of 200 Pakistani university students participated in the study. The data were collected using a questionnaire and focus group interviews focusing on the pragmatic insights of ESL learners during their English language learning process. The results reveal that Pakistani EFL learners completely understand the pragmatic aspects of language, but they feel that such aspects are mostly ignored in their curriculum. The learners of English in Pakistan are desirous to learn English pragmatic knowledge in their English language classrooms in order to attain pragmatic competence as English language users. The findings of this study are expected to provide a guideline to curriculum developers for revising syllabus of English for Pakistani EFL learner.
