Communicative competence and the Communicative approach

In order to adjust the seat on my bicycle, I must use an allen wrench. This is a fact about my bicycle, not about allen wrenches.

In the same way, the Communicative approach to second-language pedagogy is based in part on understandings and assumptions related to Communicative competence. This is a fact about the communicative approach, not about communicative competence.

Canale and Swain are important early-adopters of the term, and should probably be mentioned on this page, but they should not be the central figures cited. Pedagogy should be a sub-section of the page, with a {{main|Communicative language teaching}} tag used to refer back to that page. Cnilep (talk) 17:51, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Needs reference specified.

Clarify

Perhaps I'm thick, but I can't understand what this means.

scholars have found communicative competence as a superior model of language following Hymes' opposition to Chomsky's linguistic competence. This opposition has been adopted by those who seek new directions toward a communicative era...

Is that suggesting that there is no controversy, and everyone agrees communication must be studied alongside formal grammar? No one venerates Chomsky's approach anymore and everyone prefers Hymes'? I know for a fact that neither of those is true. If it's suggesting something else, what? Cnilep (talk) 09:00, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

It's worse than I thought. The sentences were closely paraphrased from paragraph 3 of Karimnia and Izadparast (2007). Cnilep (talk) 01:27, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
