COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE AND COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING
  1. LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTIC
    1. Language is essentially a means of communication.
      1. “Language is the expression of ideas by means of speech-sounds combined into words. Words are combined into sentences, this combination answering to that of ideas into thoughts.” Henry Sweet
      2. Linguistic is the scientific study of language and its structure.
        1. "Formal linguistics is the study of the structures and processes of language, that is, how language works and is organized. Formal linguists study the structures of different languages, and by identifying and studying the elements common among them" Erick Digest.
      3. Hyme’s distinction between linguistic competence, and communicative competence.
        1. For Hymes linguistic competence is the ability and measure to create and understand sentences grammatically correct; it refers to the knowledge of language that allow the speaker to explain, describe, complain, and give instructions in a correct way.
          1. For Hymes communicative competence deals with understanding, and producing with scope and sequence, appropriate and acceptable sentences in a particular situation or context, being capable of interpret, being adequate, suitable, and proficient in communication.
          2. difference between the use and the usage of the language.
            1. “Usage” involves linguistic rules knowledge that the language user demonstrates
              1. “Use” makes evident the ability of the language user to use linguistic rules knowledge for achieving effective communication.
              2. Widdowson’s concept of communicative language teaching
                1. For Widdowson, communicative language teaching is truthly important; knowing a language is not only understanding rules of grammar, not only read, speak and write sentences; the mere acquisition of linguistic skills may inhibit the development of communicative abilities; what is important is how sentences are used, and how to use sentences appropriately to achieve communicative purposes. Widdowson suggests that communicative abilities have to be developed and taught along with linguistic competence.
                2. Hyme’s communicative competence derived from chumsky’s distinction between competence and performance.
                  1. Hyme’s concept of communicative competence is derived from Chumsky’s distinction between competence and performance because Hymes points out that Chomsky’s view is too narrow to describe the language as a whole; chomsky's linguistic theory dismisses socio cultural factors, and differential competence in a heterogeneous speech community; therefore, Chomsky’s view of performance is an incomplete reflection of competence. Hymes sustain that social factors affect not only outward performance, but also inner competence itself; thus, Hymes considers better to describe language behavior distinguishing two kinds of competence, and the communicative competence consists in understanding and producing sentences appropriate and acceptable to a particular situation.
