Pragmatic failure(PF) has long been taken only as a notion in linguistic study or an important factor leading to cross-culture communication failure. Yet little importance has ever attached to its relation to English language teaching. This paper focuses on this gap by promoting the significance of PF on language teaching. After classifying the types of PF, the paper makes a thorough analysis on the causes that bring about PF. Furthermore it elaborates the relation between PF and language teaching. Finally some language teaching methods are put forward to help to overcome such failure. The paper will be of benefit to language teachers both in their teaching and training qualified personnels in real communication.
