This paper presents a survey on both theoretical and empirical studies in FL/SL pragmatic acquisition in the past decade. It first introduces three theoretical models accounting for the pragmatic acquisition, and then discusses major characteristics of pragmatic competence. Finally, it analyses the most important factors affecting pragmatic development. Throughout the discussion, the authors stress that (1) both sociocultural and psychological factors are essential in pragmatic acquisition, and we should not emphasize one and neglect the other in our studies; (2) FL/SL pragmatic competence can be acquired through both routine social interations and classroom instruction. The authors suggest that a quick and effective way for China to track in line with the international steps in FL/SL education is to take on theoretical and empirial studies in FL/SL pragmatic acquisition.
