Topic 04 Communicative Competence Analysis of Its Components

This document discusses the history and definitions of communicative competence. It mentions Chomsky's view of competence as innate linguistic ability and Hymes' expansion of this to include sociocultural appropriateness. Canale and Wales and Savignon further problematized Chomsky's neglect of sociocultural factors. Canale and Swain then proposed a widely accepted definition of communicative competence as including grammatical, sociolinguistic, discourse and strategic competence. Bachman and Palmer later expanded on this model. The Common European Framework of Reference also addresses communicative competence.
