Abstract
This article explores the role of pragmatics in teacher speech, focusing on how
context-sensitive language use affects the teaching and learning process. It highlights
the importance of pragmatic competence in maintaining a respectful, motivating, and
culturally appropriate classroom environment. The study also examines practical
strategies teachers use to model effective communication and foster positive
interaction with learners.
