TEACHING SPEAKING

What is Communicative Competence
The desired outcome of the language learning process is the ability to communicate competently, not the ability to use the language exactly as a native speaker does.
Developing the communicative competence of the learners is one of the major goals for English teaching and is considered as that “the essence of English teaching is communication” and ‘communicative competence is the initial and ultimate goal of English teaching”(Wang,1996)
