SPEAKING AND PRONUNCIATION

Communicative competence refers to L2 learners’ ability to apply and use grammatical rules as well as forming correct utterances knowing how to use these utterances appropriately. Swain and Canale (1980) have defined communicative competence according to next four components:
Grammatical competence or words and rules usage.
Sociolinguistic competence or appropriateness.
Discourse competence or cohesion and coherence.
Strategic competence that means appropriate use of communication strategies.
As the influence of communicative language teaching has been accepted since the main aim is language education, focused on good classroom practice (Savignon, 1998).
