In social interactions, not least in education, language is primarily used as a tool. Individuals who experience language difficulties will have difficulty in conveying their thoughts or ideas to others. As a result, communication becomes less than optimal and sometimes fails. In this case, communication is not just a matter of one-way message delivery, but also involves the exchange of mutually understood contexts so that two-way communication occurs. To get the context of communication and become a competent communicator, pragmatics is necessary and one of the crucial ideas in pragmatics is the concept of speech acts.
