The role of communicative competence in the language learning sphere is paramount to the development of effective language skills. Communicative competence refers to the ability to communicate effectively in a given language, taking into account not just grammar and vocabulary, but also cultural context, social norms, and pragmatic use of language. This article explores how communicative competence plays a crucial role in language acquisition, as learners must be able to comprehend and produce language in real-life situations.
