Index. décimale : 420 Langue anglaise Résumé : The study of speech acts has been one of the major subjects in pragmatics as a sub-field of linguistics. This work investigates the problem of students‟ pragmatic competence in relation to understanding hidden messages in requesting speech acts. The aim of this study is to investigate students‟ awareness about the existence of implied meanings communicated through utterances and their ability to understand implied meanings in some requesting speech acts. Thus, the hypothesis put forward claims that students‟ focus on the linguistic meaning of words leads them to failure in inferring the intended meaning of the utterances under study. In order to check the research‟ s hypothesis, a questionnaire and a test are administered to second year English students at l‟École Normale Supérieure (henceforth ENS), Constantine university 3. While the questionnaire provides insights about the students‟ awareness of the fact that what is communicated is more than what is said, the test examines the students‟ ability to infer implied meanings of a set of requesting speech acts. Though they claim their awareness that speech acts mean more than what they say, the findings show that the students focus and rely only on the semantic meaning of words in utterances, rather than realising speakers‟ intended meaning. Furthermore, the results give evidence of the students‟ lack the pragmatic proficiency required to react appropriately to implicit requests. Consequently, they fail to reach the speakers‟ expected behaviours and cannot respond effectively to get more communicated.
