Abstract
This paper explores integrating pragmatic features in EFL teaching for military personnel, emphasizing contextually appropriate language in military communication. By focusing on situational dialogues and report drafting, it highlights methods to enhance pragmatic competence. The study advocates for a teaching approach incorporating real-world military contexts, offering insights into military-specific language teaching and contributing to English for Specific Purposes (ESP).
