Conclusion The Development of the students pragmatic competence of implicature in spoken English.

to add some more activities which facilitate the cultural immersion to the target language. The activities can be such as once a week, Friday night or Saturday night, an English free value-laden big movie screen with no assignment where any students are free to watch and enjoy. When our mind is fresh and have no burden, we still can get the target language input. The most important is not on the assessment, but is on the exposure. 2. Based on Kasper 1997:1’s argument that pragmatic competence is not teachable and Adopting Vygotsky’s one of the sociocultural theorists view that language is seen as the means by which humans achieve the goal of social living, the idea of always activating what so called “English Zone” around the campus can a supporting atmosphere, too. The more the L2 learners use the target language not only formally in the class but also informally to achieve the goal of social living the more pragmatic competence have a room to develop. Very few English language programs in almost all Universities around Indonesia hold a special program such as English day comparing with some Senior or Junior High Schools that have started to practice it, just because they feel that they have enough using the target language in all classes, but language is not only to communicate in the class which tends to be formal, language is the means by which humans achieve the goal of social living. The English atmosphere might surprisingly arise the students’ inner feeling to practice and transfer their L1 pragmatic competence when they speak using the target language. Those are two simple suggestions that the researcher offers. The researcher believes the suggestions can give more or less the cultural immersion a space to take place.

C. Recommendation for Further Research

In the last sub chapter, the researcher can only give a recommendation for the extensive future study on the similar topic. The present study which is on the development of the students’ pragmatic competence, particularly implicature, in Spoken English is a cross-sectional study which compares only three groups, namely: semester 2, semester 4, and semester 6. The extensive future study on the similar topic can be much more holistic if it is done by comparing 4 groups, namely: semester 2, semester 4, semester 6, and semester 8. This is to see whether the pattern of the development is more or less the same, or the pattern of the development shows an increasing significant development with the semester 8.
