This study deals with the application of pragmatics research to EFL teaching. The study investigates the effect of explicit pragmatic instruction on the speech act awareness of a sample of third year EFL students at the Department of English, University of Constantine1. A pre-test-post-test control group design is used. The results reveal that students’ speech act comprehension improves significantly and that pragmatic competence is not impervious to instruction even in EFL settings. (Published abstract)
