Communicative Competence Video

                                                                                                                                      

Greetings. 

In this video, I'm going to talk about the communicative competence based on Jack C. Richards videos and the Sarah Thurrell and Dornyei's text. 

In this video, I will try to summarize all the information related with communicative competence components. I'm going to talk about the five strenghts according to Jack C. Richards. Later, I'm going to talk about the areas described by the communicative competence models. The first model was proposed by Canale and Swain. The second model was created by Bachman, and finally, the third model was proposed by Sarah Thurrell and Dornyei. 

This video was a little difficult to record because I needed more organization to talk about each model, and because some words were difficult to pronounce. On another hand, I was a little nervous because I'm not accostumed to talk in front of a camera.

Communicative Competence Conceptual Map

Hello. This is my first entry, and it includes my concept map. The concept map is about communicative competence. Communicative competence refers to abilities that a person have in order to manage communication.  In the following concept map I will show the difference between linguistic competence and communicative competence, so I will describe some features from each one. The concept map content is based on the video by Jack C. Richards and the Larsen, Freeman and Donei's text.
Either the video and the video were very interrelated and useful in order to understand the communicative compentece concept. However, I think the text was a widely resource to understand the  communicative competence features.


















For me, it was very difficult to decide what items should have appeared in the map, because the concepts are broad . The pragmatic factors, in my opinion, are the most relevant because they determine the intentions, so I think this probably the most difficult issue that students have to deal with.
