- Abstract
English, as a global language, is playing a vital role. The study of cross-cultural pragmatic failure is of great value in English teaching. This study, conducted at a University in Xi'an, mainly examines the English majors' pragmatic failure in spoken English. A written test is designed to find out students' pragmatic failure and examine their pragmatic competence. Based on the analyses of pragmatic failures, some pedagogical implications for College English majors' Teaching have been put forward.
