Abstract

This study aimed at revealing the correlation between pragmatic competence among gender and the relationship with motivation. A correlation design was to measure the level of relationship between students' pragmatic competence and their motivation. Furthermore, a comparative method was used to investigate the level of difference between male and female students. It involved 60 male students and 49 female students. Multiple Discourse Completion Task (MDCT) was administered to measure students' pragmatic competence, and a set of close-ended questionnaires adopted from Zaitun and Nopianah (2015) was used to measure the motivation level. This study revealed that 1) there is a significant difference in pragmatic competence between male and female learners. 2) there was a positive, deficient correlation between students' pragmatic competence and students' English learning motivation. By the end of this study, the research on improving students' pragmatic competence and motivation is needed considering that males and females have different pragmatic competence.
