Article 4

The teacher who care about their students need to learn what types of competence are and how they relate to each other.  According to the CMDT Model, the five competences are: 
  • linguistic competence- is knowing how to use the grammar, syntax, and vocabulary of a language. Linguistic competence asks: What words do I use? How do I put them into phrases and sentences?
  • strategic competence- is knowing how to use and respond to language appropriately, given the setting, the topic, and the relationships among the people communicating. Sociolinguistic competence asks: Which words and phrases fit this setting and this topic? How can I express a specific attitude (courtesy, authority, friendliness, respect) when I need to? How do I know what attitude another person is expressing?
sociocultural competence- (non-linguistic knowledge
ü  for appropriate deployment of linguistic resources)
actional competence- (carrying out/understanding
communicative intent by performing and
ü  interpreting speech acts and speech events)
  • discourse competence- is knowing how to interpret the larger context and how to construct longer stretches of language so that the parts make up a coherent whole. Discourse competence asks: How are words, phrases and sentences put together to create conversations, speeches, email messages, newspaper articles?
