Theoretical Foundation Study on the Effects of the Communicative Competence Approach on EFL Learners’ and Instructors’ Roles in Communicative Activities

Abstract

The sharing of thoughts, feelings, information, ideas, and opinions among individuals is known as communication. Since language is a tool for communication, people always express their feelings about each other's facts as well as the facts themselves (Revell, 1979). In this study, several aspects of communicative competence theory are explored, such as its definitions, framework, and factors that are related to it. Additionally, consequences for teaching and learning second languages of the usage of communicative competency are addressed. Finally, the article discussed some roles that both teachers and students should play when adopting communicative language teaching and learning.
