Communicating effectively with native English speakers is difficult for Chinese students.As Chinese culture is quite different from that of the English speaking countries,the rules for using Chinese naturally differ from those for using English.In real communication,the Chinese English learners tend to transfer their mother tongue references of language use to their English performance directly,which causes many misunderstanding and communication breakdown.This paper firstly states about the trouble sources of the pragmatic failure of Chinese learners in communication with English native speakers and then advances some teaching methods of improving learners’ pragmatic skills.
