Abstract

This study aims at examining the use of pragmatic tests to help identify two different stages of language acquisition for Thai students as well as investigating the relationships between English proficiency, the stages of language acquisition and other variables related to the learners. 2799 secondary school students participated in the study. Two pragmatic tests, one in the visual mode and the other in the auditory mode were used. Each test consisted of two subtests, one aimed at the first stage of language acquisition, and the other at the second stage.
