- It is widely acknowledged that learning languages involves far more than targeting surface grammatical or lexical systems. The other aspects of language have been referred to as invisible, as they are often the most difficult to teach and acquire, given their subtlety and complexity. This paper discusses the pragmatics competence in English Students of Darma Persada University. Pragmatic competence is important because it may ultimately determine whether a successful communicative interaction takes place. Successful communication in language learning must not only address linguistic forms but also acknowledge language as a reflection of the socio-cultural norms of the L2 community. This research is aimed to find out how conversation is used in ordinary life of English students in Darma Persada University. In other words, it is the analysis of the methods students use to engage in conversation and other forms of social interaction involving speech. As such, the central concern of conversational analysis is to determine how individuals experience, make sense of, and report their actions. It also discusses the natural of conversation in order to discover what the linguistic characteristics of conversations are. Having mastered the specific function of a given utterance, a speaker will find it exceptionally easy to find the most appropriate equivalents in the foreign language. The results of this study that learners who have more experience or exposure to the language, or explicit classroom instruction do not necessarily possess a higher degree of pragmatic competence than those who have not. These findings suggest that perhaps grammatical competence and pragmatic competence may develop separately and at differing rates.
