培养外国学生运用汉语进行交际的能力是对外汉语教学的最终目的。在交际的过程中，汉民族独特的社会心理和风俗文化在交际中的体现尤为明显，所以，对于高级汉语学习者，在汉语交际中，不仅要能用符合汉语规则的表达方式来进行交际，还要保证语言表达的得体和生动性。这是对学习汉语的外国学生言语交际能力方面提出的更高要求。反语的使用是汉语交际生动性的一个重要表现，能够在具体情境中，辨别出反语的使用，并能在适合的情境中使用反语，是外国学习者高级交际能力的体现。因此，外国学生熟悉和掌握汉语反语不仅能增强汉语的会话理解能力，还能明显提高学习者运用汉语进行交际的能力。

Throughout the process of communication the nuances of the Han people's way of thinking and traditional culture are clearly apparent, therefore when high level students are communicating in Chinese they not only have to communicate in accordance with the rules of Chinese but also ensure that they express themselves in an appropriate and lively manner, furthermore they have to understand that the same text in a different language environment can have different connotations.
