Pragmatic mistakes often occur in intercultural communication, which is why college English teaching emphasizes pragmatic competence. In listening, speaking, reading and writing classroom teaching and extracurricular activities, we should teach and use pragmatic knowledge to enable students to develop pragmatic competence in context.
