Linguistic Competence

Linguistic Competence

1. Understood as the ability of a linguistic user to engage in various types of interactions (Bachman y Palmer, 1996)

2. The concept of Communicative Competence: understood as knowledge and the skills required to use language in a social context, is mediated by eight components of structured linguistic interaction under the acronym SPEAKING (Hymes, 1971)

   • Organizational knowledge: As its name implies it has to do with the way the speech is organized from its minimum units as a sentence, going through the sentence and ending in the text. This organization compromises two types of knowledge: grammatical and textual.
   • Pragmatic knowledge: It is our ability to interpret and use appropriately the social meaning of the linguistic varieties, from any circumstance, in relation to functions and varieties of the language and with the assumptions of cultural factors in a communicative situation
   • The Communicative Competence: can be defined as a "globalizing construct that covers the skills, skills and knowledge of those who have the user of the language to interact effectively in different ways of social contexts " with specific intentions (Maturana, 2011).
   • Halliday (1970). Its contribution lies in the establishment of a series of functions that entail the exchange of meanings and occurs when people simply interact. The seven functions proposed by Halliday (1978) are grouped into instrumental, regulatory, interpersonal, personal, heuristic, imaginative and representative.

4. The Affective Scheme: on the other hand, is related to two factors. On the one hand, with the emotional or affective bond, positive or negative that the student establish with your knowledge scheme; and on the other, with the set of attributes personal problems that directly interfere with learning and evaluation.

5. Strategic Competence: General ability that allows an individual to make the most effective use of the skills available when carrying out a given task, whether that task is related to the communicative use of the language as if it is with non-verbal tasks, such as making a composition musical, paint or solve mathematical equations a (Bachman, 1990).
