Book Description

Communicative competence is a term in linguistics that refers to a language user's grammatical knowledge of syntax, morphology, phonology and the like, as well as social knowledge about how and when to use utterances appropriately. The debate has occurred regarding linguistic competence and communicative competence in the second and foreign language teaching literature, and scholars have found communicative competence as a superior model of language.

They should try to avoid confusion in the message (due to faulty pronunciation, grammar, or vocabulary); avoid offending communication partners (due to socially inappropriate style); and use strategies for recognizing and managing communication breakdowns. Communication skill is the ability to use our physical and mental faculties and previously learned conceptual frameworks about communication to move toward the accomplishment of a given objective or goal.

Initiating communication skills include asking and answering questions, adapting language, and speaking in public, to name a few. Consuming
