0:16 competence. Communicative competence is the capacity to understand and employ language efficiently to converse in proper school
0:23 and social settings. It is a grammatical understanding of syntax, morphology, phonology of someone speaking a language. Linguistic involves the study
0:31 and implementation of syntax, spelling and punctuation, language standards, vocabulary, etc. One has to be conscious of the base knowledge and expressions
0:39 used. There should also be an understanding of cultural references, actions that are not verbal and laws of social communication such as politeness,
0:46 recklessness, etc. Strategically, one has to employ techniques to become fluent in communication and bridge gaps in language. Moving on to the background
0:55 of the term communicative competence. Delhims came up with the term communicative competence in 1966. It was a response to Nom Chomsky's concept of
1:04 linguistic competence. The phrase was developed to respond to the recognized inaptitude of distinguishing Nam Chosky's performance and linguistic
1:12 competence. Moving on to models of communicative competence. The concept of communicative competence
1:19 is among the many theories which form the communicative approach for teaching a foreign language. There is a minimum of three basic models. Let's look at
1:26 them briefly. The first one by Canel and Swain describe communicative competence with the help of three components. First being grammatical competence. Next,
1:34 social linguistic competence as in the appropriateness. Third, strategic competence as in the appropriate use of communication strategies and a model
1:42 developed later by Canel while borrowed some features from social linguistic competence on the fourth competence for terms disclosure competence. The second
1:49 model where social cultural content is described with more detail was by Celeste Tony and Thorrell in 1995. As they were concerned, communicative
1:58 competence involved linguistic, strategic, social, cultural, actional and disclosure competence. As you can see, there's some overlap between
2:05 earlier model and this model. And finally came the Bachman and Palmer's model. A third model completely employed in Canada for federal language teaching
2:13 is by Bachman and Palmer's model. According to them the pivotal trait is the language ability that is made up of two broad fields that is the language
2:22 knowledge and the strategic competence. Moving on to a comparison of these models. Canel and swell model is quite simple. However, this model has been
2:31 prominent in the areas of foreign and second language attainment and language testing for upwards of 10 years. Also, the employment of this model or
2:38 reference to it has persisted although bashman and palmers put forth a model that is a more extensive model of communicative competence. Swain and
2:46 Kennel's model is easy to implement. This might be why communicative competence researchers employ it even now. Now moving on to the broad
2:53 components of communicative competence. First linguistic competence. It is a grasp over the language or in the other words vocabulary and grammar. It also
3:02 includes knowledge of written representation that is orthography and script. The grammar component involves first the recognition of the sounds and
3:09 how they are pronounced. Next how meaning is passed on through language. Next, the laws that decide the patterns of phrases and words to build sentences,
3:17 creating words through inflection and derivation. And finally, the laws of sound interactions and patterns. Moving on to the second component that
3:25 is social linguistic competence. It is the understanding of social cultural laws of use such as the knowledge of how to respond to and use language
3:33 correctly. In this appropriateness stems from first understanding how a particular attitude is shown, what is the politically correct way to describe
3:40 something? the politeness signs involved in each instance and the taboos of different culture etc. Moving on to the third competence that is disclosure
3:50 competence. It is the understanding comprehension and production of written text of verbal forms through the medium of listening, reading and speaking and
3:57 writing. Moving further, it is understanding of how to bring together language structures to form a comprehensible and co written or oral
4:04 text of various kinds. Therefore, disclosure competence involves organizing sentences, phrases and words to form newspaper articles, email
4:12 messages, poetry, speech conversations, etc. And then comes the strategic competence. It is the capacity to identify and fix communication
4:21 breakdowns after, during or before they take place. Example, the speaker might not know a particular word. They might decide to either inquire the equivalent
4:28 in the desired language or paraphrase. While communicating, background noise and other things might deter communication and as a result, the
4:35 speaker must be aware of the process. The communication might fail because of external reasons like interruptions or because of a misunderstanding.
4:42 Ultimately, the speaker should be able to restore communication. These approaches might be request for slower speech, clarification, repetition or
4:50 taking turns in conversation, employing gestures, etc. So that's it folks. This brings an end to the topic on communicative competence. These are some
