Communicative Strategic Competence Of Pre-Service Teachers

Abstract:

Communicative strategic competence, as identified in several studies, encompasses the utilization of compensatory strategies when encountering challenges in grammar, sociolinguistics, or discourse. Furthermore, strategic competence emphasizes an individual's capacity to modify their verbal and nonverbal communication in order to overcome challenges arising from limited grammar proficiency or unfamiliarity with social and communicative norms. This involves employing strategies to compensate for potential difficulties and ensure effective communication despite these limitations. The study aimed to examine the communicative strategic competence of pre-service teachers. A mixed method was utilized to gather data. The study revealed that pre-service teachers are in the process of developing their communicative strategic competence, showing some understanding but requiring additional support and training to enhance their skills. This implied the need to propose and implement a developmental program to enhance pre-service teachers' communicative strategic competence.
