This paper aims at bringing into account the importance of raising pragmatic competence in the language classroom with language learners (EFL) It also considers the possibility and the challenges of teaching pragmatic competence in EFL classes.The paper answers: How can Pragmatic instruction help develop learners’ Pragmatic awareness? The study considers the role of the textbooks and the role of language teacher's talk as demanding possibilities of teaching pragmatics in EFL classes. It concludes that pragmatic knowledge of a language is better acquired by exposing the learners to natural environment and authentic materials. In the case of EFL, students are deprived of such conditions; moreover, these conditions cannot be completely provided for in the classrooms, so students may need special training in this aspect.
