There are eight aspects of communicative competence. Communication competence is the degree
to which a communicator’s goals are achieved through effective and appropriate interaction. They
are grouped together in two groups of four:
Linguistic aspects
Phonology and orthography
Grammar
Vocabulary
Discourse (textual)
Pragmatic aspects
Functions
Variations
Interactional skills
Cultural framework
Learning a language involves learning how to relate these different types of discourse in such a
way that hearers or readers can understand what is going on and see what is important. Likewise it
involves being able to relate information in a way that is coherent to the readers and hearers.
