NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNIC...

Nearly half a century has passed since Hymes proposed the concept of communicative competence
to describe the knowledge and skills required for the appropriate use of language in a social
context. During these decades  a number of scholars have applied and refined this concept. In
language education  communicative competence has been identified as a major objective of
learning. This book will inform readers about communicative competence as a highly complex
construct encompassing an array of sub-competencies such as linguistic skills and proficiencies
knowledge of socio-cultural and socio-pragmatic codes  and the ability to engage in textual and
conversational discourse. Findings from research in related disciplines have pointed to the
significance of factors that can contribute to the attainment of communicative competence.
Various teaching practices and relevant Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools
will be also introduced and discussed to achieve communicative competence as a complex ability.
It is a timely contribution to current research on key areas in the teaching  learning and
acquisition of second foreign languages.
