Summary/Abstract: The article summarises the results of pilot research focused on the effect of explicit pragmatics instruction on the writing skills of students of the Primary school teacher training study programme. Explicit pragmatics instruction contributed to the students’ confidence about writing and the students themselves have a positive attitude to it. However, the pilot study revealed that the effect of pragmatics instruction on the students’ writing skills wasn’t significant and that there is a need of research design and respondents modifications, which are also described in this article.
