Communicative competence refers to a learner's ability to use language to communicate

successfully. Canale and Swain (1980) defined it as composing competence in four areas:
Words and rules
Appropriacy
Cohesion and coherence
Use of communication strategies
Example
The aim of communicative language teaching and the communicative approach is
communicative competence.
In the classroom
Testing communicative competence is challenging. Formats teachers can use to evaluate their
learners' competence include information gap and role-play activities for speaking, letters for
writing, and note-taking and summarising, which combines listening and writing competencies.
