This article explores effective strategies for enhancing pragmatic competence in second language acquisition (SLA). Key approaches, including task-based instruction, explicit and implicit teaching, immersive experiences, digital simulation, sociocultural training, and feedback mechanisms, are evaluated for their impact on learners’ communicative abilities. The findings indicate that a blended instructional approach, combining explicit pragmatics education with immersive, interactive, and culturally aware practices, yields optimal outcomes in SLA.
