In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching pragmatics is of utmost importance
due to the scarcity of opportunities to interact in English out of school. In addition, within the
communicative approach, Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) has significantly drawn
teachers’ and researchers’ attention. However, the intersection between pragmatics and TBLT
is still at its initial stages. The aim of this paper is to design a teaching proposal to teach
pragmatics from a TBLT approach. This proposal is designed for high school students (2nd
Bachillerato) and includes two task-based lessons to teach the speech act of requesting in
email communication. This proposal shows the potential benefits of teaching pragmatics from
a TBLT approach in EFL classrooms. [-]
