COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE

HI EVERYONE... I AM GONNA SUMMARIZE THE TOPIC WE HAVE LEARNED YESTERDAY I HOPE IT WILL BE BENEFICIAL :))
Firstly we have make difference between ''competence'' and ''performance''

competence: capacity
performance: usage

• competence is more greater than performance

COMPONENTS of COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE

1) GRAMMATICAL COMPETENCE: Understanding the skills and knowledge necessary to speak write accurately. Grammatical competence includes:

-vocabulary

-word formation

-meaning

-sentence formation

-pronunciation

spelling

2) SOCIOLINGUISTIC COMPETENCE: Knowing how to produce and understand the language in different sociolinguistic context, taking into consideration such factors as:

-the status of the participants

-the purpose of the interaction 

-the norms or convention of the interaction.

3)DISCOURSE COMPETENCE: The ability to combine and connect utterances (spoken) and sentences (written) into a meaningful whole. Discourse ranges from a simple spoken conversation to long written texts.

4)STRATEGIC COMPETENCE: The use of both verbal and non verbal language to meet communicative goals. Speakers use strategic competence to:

-compensate for breakdowns in communication, example; the speaker is forced to paraphrase or gesture when he she doesn't know a term and convey the idea.

-make communication more effective; example a speaker raises or lowers the voice for effect.

COMPETENCE VS PERFORMANCE

Chomsky(1965): competence is mental representations of linguistic rules that constitute grammar.

This internal grammar is implicit rather than explicit. It is evident in the intuitions about the grammatically of sentences.

-performance S the use of this grammar in the comprehension and production of the language.

-communicative competence enables the speaker to convey and interpret messages and to negotiate meanings interpersonally  within specific contexts.

-language  occurs in social interaction. It is used for a purpose such as persuading,commanding, and establishing social relationship.

-instead of specific knowledge of grammatical forms the competent speaker knows when where and how to use language appropriately.
