Response to Chapter One

In this paper, I have chosen chapter one for my journal entry. When well elucidated, communication competence theory signifies the knowledge of appropriate and effective communication patterns and the capability to practice that knowledge in several contexts. The main theory of the communication approach in language learning is communicative competence: the student’s capacity to comprehend and use linguistic properly to communicate in authentic school and social settings. In terms of linguistics, it signifies to a language user’s linguistic information of phonology, syntax, and morphology in addition to social understanding about when and how to use expressions properly.

Communication competence is required to develop cultural awareness, understand communication ethics, think critically, and to use computer-mediated communication. It involves motivation, knowledge, and skills (DeVito, 2019). An example of a competent communicator is one that will take part in turn-taking when in dialogues instead of interrupting. Such an individual is the one who will know the right time to ask questions to engage in the talking and read nonverbal signs from the receiver to identify when the talk is finished. It usually involves verbal and non-verbal components, but it also relates to several contexts and situations.

Interpersonal communication usually is the communication that happens among individuals who have some understanding of each other and are independent. For instance, it can happen between employer and employee, a son and his father, two friends, a teacher, and a student, and so on. It has an effect on communication in a way that it helps individuals to collaborate, converse, and interact effectively (DeVito, 2019). Typical examples of interpersonal skills include emotional intelligence, active listening, and empathy. Better interpersonal communication generates more worker force recognition. When workers have better interpersonal relations with one another and their bosses, they recognize each other’s good work and positive feedback.
