dc.description.abstractThis study aims to assess the pragmatic competence of Filipino ESL learners along comprehension and production through pragmatic assessment tools that are contextualized to the local needs of Filipino ESL learners. The tools were developed in several steps such as generation of speech acts situations, likelihood investigation, organization of situations, checking for content validity, and checking for reliability. The developed research instruments were a multiple-choice tool for the pragmatic comprehension test and a WDCT for the pragmatic production test. The situations for the pragmatic tools were contextualized to Filipino ESL learners. The tools were administered to 70 AB English majors. The results revealed that the Filipino ESL learners’ level of pragmatic comprehension is high while their pragmatic production is slightly off but acceptable as rated by American English native speakers. The results imply that there is still a need to promote Filipino learners’ pragmatic competence as a crucial part of their communicative competence.
