Abstract:

This article highlights the importance of understanding implicature in EFL communication. It examines how language proficiency, cultural background, and teaching methods impact the effectiveness of implicature training. The study finds that proficiency levels influence the comprehension and use of implicatures, while cultural backgrounds affect their interpretation. Additionally, diverse teaching methods, especially hands-on and exploratory approaches, significantly enhance implicature training. Recommendations for educators include tailoring teaching methods to individual student needs, integrating implicature lessons into the curriculum, and using additional resources to boost student engagement. Future research should focus on factors influencing implicature training, conduct longitudinal studies to assess training effectiveness, and explore technological tools to improve implicature understanding. This study provides valuable insights and practical guidelines for improving EFL learning through better implicature training.
