Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between pragmatic awareness and communication skills among EFL university students. Using a mixed-methods approach, 150 students from one of university in Medan participated in a 4-week study involving pragmatic awareness tests, communication skills assessments, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. Results revealed a strong positive correlation between pragmatic awareness and overall communication abilities. Students who received explicit pragmatic instruction demonstrated significant improvements in both pragmatic competence and communication skills compared to the control group. Qualitative data highlighted enhanced cultural sensitivity, improved interpretation of implicit meanings, and increased adaptability as key benefits of pragmatic awareness. The study concludes that integrating pragmatic instruction into EFL curricula is crucial for developing effective communicators in diverse cultural contexts. Implications for EFL pedagogy and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract

This research examines how students perceive and understand academic listening, a fundamental skill for success in educational settings. Through questionnaire distribution among secondary and tertiary students, the study identifies common obstacles and approaches students employ when engaging with academic content. Findings reveal that although students acknowledge academic listening's significance, many encounter difficulties processing lecture structures, identifying key information, and maintaining focus during extended listening sessions. The restricted exposure to authentic academic discourse and insufficient training in specialized listening strategies compound these challenges. Recommendations include implementing systematic listening practice, enhancing exposure to genuine academic materials, and incorporating technology-based tools for autonomous skill development.
