This paper examines the role of conversational implicatures in the development of pragmatic competence in learners of Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE), focusing on their explicit instruction in the classroom. Based on a communicative approach, a didactic proposal was designed and implemented with intermediate-level, university students that belonged to the experimental group in our study. Its impact was evaluated through questionnaires administered before and after the intervention, examining not only the evolution of learners’ inferential skills, but also comparing it to that of a control group participants’ and another group of native speakers. The data suggest that focused instruction on conversational implicatures significantly enhances learners’ interpretative skills, therefore, improving their pragmatic competence, especially in complex communicative contexts. In essence, the integration of the pragmatic component in second language teaching is highlighted as a fundamental element for achieving a real and effective communicative competence, in which both the comprehension and production of conversational implicatures play a key role.
El presente trabajo se centra en el estudio de las implicaturas conversacionales y su papel esencial en el desarrollo de la competencia pragmática en el aula de Español como Lengua Extranjera (ELE), poniendo el foco en su enseñanza explícita en el aula. Partiendo de un enfoque comunicativo, se diseña una propuesta didáctica, cuya implementación se lleva a cabo con un grupo experimental de estudiantes universitarios de nivel intermedio. Su impacto fue evaluado a través de cuestionarios aplicados antes y después de la intervención, examinando no solo la evolución de su capacidad inferencial, sino también estableciendo una comparación de resultados tanto con los de un grupo de control como con los de un grupo de hablantes nativos de la lengua española. Los datos sugieren que una instrucción focalizada sobre las implicaturas conversacionales contribuye significativamente a una mejora en la capacidad interpretativa de los aprendientes, favoreciendo una comprensión pragmática más profunda, especialmente en contextos comunicativos complejos.
