 Communicative Competence
- In order to achieve communicative
competence, we must consider the following:
speech context, speech style, speech act, and
communicative strategies.
 SPEECH CONTEXT
• This accounts for the background and
purpose of a discourse.
• The type of audience, circumstances and
setting are taken into consideration.
• Speech context maybe intrapersonal,
interpersonal and public.
 Intrapersonal Communication
•Is a communication with
oneself.
•It is the basic form of
communication where the
“self” is the only consideration.
 Interpersonal Communication
• Is sharing your experiences with a
friend or discussing a topic within a
group.
• This kind of communication involves
the transmission of messages that is
extended to others.
 Public Communication
•Addresses a large number of
people.
 SPEECH STYLE
• This is another factor that affects the
attainment of communicative competence.
• Speech style maybe intimate, casual,
consultative, formal and frozen.
 Intimate Communication
•This happens between and among
family members because they are
bound by close affinity.
•This is may be private or
confidential.
 Casual Communication
•Friend and acquaintances often use
this communication.
 Consultative Communication
•This means of communications is
giving pieces of advice who needs it.
•This can be a teacher and a parent
who consult about their child’s
performance in school.
 Formal Communication
•This type of communication is
well-planned in terms of structure,
sequence, and coherence of ideas.
 Frozen Communication
•This type of communication is set,
and it is very rarely or almost never
altered.
•This involved activities which are
not changeable in nature.
 SPEECH ACT

(Locutionary act) but also to the
intention (Illocutionary act) and
response (Perlocutionary Act) to a
specific situation for an intended
discourse impact.
 Locutionary Act
•The actual saying of words or the
utterance of “May I use your pen?”
 Illocutionary Act
•The implied request of “can you
hand me your pen so I may use it”
 Perlocutionary Act
•The actual handing over of the pen
as permitted or given by the owner
of the pen.
 COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGIES

conversation flowing smoothly
 NOMINATION

conversation process.
RESTRICTION

discussed to meet the allotted time.
 TURN TAKING
