Let's put in contrast our conceptions on what is Linguistc and Communicative Competence.
After the class discussion and the reading of the statements of Habermas and Taylor, answer these questions:
What is your concept of communicative and linguistic competence?
Which concept do you think applies better to the practice of language teaching?
Do you think that FL classes should empasize the improvement of Linguistic or Communicative competence?
Habermas-Towards a Theory of Communicative Competence
Taylor-The Meaning and Use of the Term Competence by smartkelly
REMEMBER: Your participation must be based upon your critical opinion of the materials read and the class discussion. Keep in mind your teacher does not allow any copy and paste ;) :D
