Communicative Language Teaching 502&504 by Pompilio Numa https://padlet.com/mod7dsdsxii/d2kuz5u8oldw On this wall all of you will write the issues around CLT. At the end, this information will be useful for you to develop the final task of the Unit 2. en-us 2018-10-15 02:42:02 UTC 2023-08-09 04:57:13 UTC hello@padlet.com My definition of Communicative Competence fabianhdz28 https://padlet.com/mod7dsdsxii/d2kuz5u8oldw/wish/1837457236 In general terms, Communicative Competence refers to the capacity of a person to use language correctly according to different elements involved in communication, such as context, participants, relationships, etc., but this capacity is complemented by sociolinguistic features such as discourse (related to context, the way we use language in different styles) and pragmatics (set of elements essential to convey and interpretate meaning), as Brown states. Besides that, after reading the three different perspectives of the Communicative Competence, I got to the conclusion that there are more characteristics that this Competence involves.
It is necessary to mention the five strands of Communicative Competence stated by Richards, in which accuracy refers to the correct use of grammar, syntax, correct pronunciation, and is also related to Linguistic Competence; fluency, as the ability to keep communication flowing; complexity, the level of development of language; and capacity, as the extent of what we can express and talk about in a language. Apart from that, this competence can be also analysed by classifying it in Competence and Performance, and taking into account four components (grammatical competence, discourse competence, sociolinguistic competence and strategic competence), as Canale & Swain state.

In addition, it concentrates on processes such as the interaction between the learner and the users and the creation of meaningful and purposeful interaction through language; all these through the design and performance of accurate classroom activities. Therefore, in this context, new roles in the classroom for teachers and learners are presented, for example, regarding:
  • learners
-they are expected to participate in cooperative based activities (interactive small group work)
-they have a greater degree of responsibility for their own learning 
  • teachers
-they have to assume the role of facilitator and monitor 
  • activities
-that required learners to negotiate meaning
-that employ content that connects to students' lives and interests

According to Canale & Swain (1980) it can be viewed as is the knowledge of the speaker as it enables them to convey and interpret messages in a given context. Richard (2006) proposed that first, it is necessary to contrast the concept of linguistic competence. The latter refers to our ability to produce accurate sentences, but our ability to use communicatively appropriate utterances is communicative competence.  Language is used in our daily lives in stretches of discourse, which is stated as ‘language beyond the sentence’ (Brown, 2007) therefore, communicative competence is not limited to speaking for a prolonged lapse of time, being grammatically accurate and have understandable pronunciation while doing so, but it goes beyond that. Unfortunately, this was overlooked in traditional language teaching (Richard, 2006). Communicative competence is the capacity that will allow the speaker to be an active participant of communication; knowing how to convey and understand a message, make use of and identify cues, keep up with the conversation’s pace, give their own relevant input and being assertive with their participation, among other aspects that ensure their appropriate use of language.

From Richard's perspective, there are five strands of this competence, which are accuracy, fluency, appropriacy, complexity and capacity, but they also address elements such as grammar, vocabulary, listening, writing, and speaking.
While grammar competence is important, the fact that many students may have a strong understanding of grammar rules and still not be effective communicators, so communicative competence refers to knowing when and how to use different forms of language knowing how use strategies to maintain communication despite limitations in language ability.
