Abstract

Based on the pragmatic presupposition theory in cross-cultural communication, this essay explores the possible cultural interference issues caused by six pragmatic presuppositions in listening comprehension. By analyzing the operation mechanism of pragmatic presuppositions, the pragmatic functions of discourse, and cultural differences, the essay reveals the root causes of misunderstandings in second language learners' listening comprehension due to presupposition differences, and proposes targeted teaching strategies. The aim is to effectively enhance learners' sensitivity to cross-cultural pragmatic presuppositions in listening comprehension through the method of cultural contrast teaching, context simulation training, and metacognitive strategies.
