Is communicative competence really that important? Why?

[Mr Greg]

For learning languages, yes.

Those who are learning English have the goal of using it in social interactions or the possibility of moving for further job opportunities. Just knowing the language is not enough

[OmarElKaoutar]

Precisely! Communicative competence is important because it helps a person to not only know a language but also use it in various situations. It guarantees that you are able to articulate yourself clearly, comprehend other speakers, and also modify your language in social or cultural contexts. Moreover, this is very important in minimizing the chances of miscommunication and fostering better interpersonal or professional relations.
