- This paper brings into focus three pragmatic sources that can support the EFL teacher:
1. Natural environment
2. Interpersonal rhetoric.
3. Presuppositions.
first, we have shown the possible contribution that a natural English environment can offer to an EFL teacher ad and learner alike with focus on quality of language learning.
second, we have moved to investigating interpersonal rhetoric. particularly maxims of politeness and applied their model in Leech (J983) (tact. generosity, approbation. modesty. agreement. sympathy) below:
1. Tact maxim:
a. Minimize cost to other.

This framework will be worked out with special reference to House's model of translation quality assessment (a construct for a systematic investigation of register and situational features) as well as related approaches of Widdowson (focusing on surface equivalence, semantic equivalence and pragmatic equivalence), Nord (focusing on textual function and textual type of a message), Van Dijk (focusing on acceptability of a translated message), etc. These approaches will be compared and con. trasted so that their merits can be shown. and their applicability will be t
