COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Description

Abstract: This paper examines the fundamental concept of communicative competence within the paradigm of modern foreign language education. Shifting from traditional grammar-translation frameworks to learner-centered communicative language teaching (CLT), the study explores how functional, sociolinguistic, discourse, and strategic capabilities interact to create authentic language proficiency. The article outlines effective pedagogical interventions, interactive classroom dynamics, digital integration, and contemporary assessment models designed to cultivate genuine communicative skills in foreign language learners. Furthermore, practical suggestions are offered for educators striving to establish immersive, output-driven classroom environments in higher education institutions and secondary schools.
