After reading Communicative competence I learned that it , refers to a learner’s L2 ability. It refers to a learner’s ability of using grammatical rules, forming correct utterances, and knowing how to use these utterances appropriately.
When I read the communicative competence I really was amazed how Hymes discussed the ethnographic-oriented exploration of communicative competence that included “communicative form and function” in relation to each other.
however, I noticed that Chomsky’s view of linguistic competence was not intended to inform pedagogy, but serve as part of developing a theory of the linguistic system itself, idealized as the abstract language knowledge of the monolingual adult native speaker, and different from how they happen to use and experience language. Hymes, rather than Chomsky, had developed a theory of education and learning
