DEVELOPING THE COMMUNICATION COMPETENCE OF FRENCH- SPEAKING STUDENTS THROUGH DIALOGUES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ORAL SPEECH

Abstract

The field of learning foreign languages has long been a contentious issue. Various theories and methods of language learning have been introduced. The method of translating grammar has been problematic in the field of language learning for many years and continues to this day. The field has also been dominated by the idea that another nation is nothing more than a social behavior that can be studied like any other behavior through language theory and the process of language habit formation; and many language exercises have been developed for this purpose. Communicative competence means having the “ability to communicate”. This competence can be oral, written, and even non-verbal. It is an inclusive term and refers to the knowledge of a language as well as the ability to use language in real life situations to meet communicative needs. According to many researchers, language is a means of communication that includes four basic skills; listening, speaking, reading and writing. To acquire these language skills, one must not only learn grammatical rules, but also apply them in practice until one has mastered them all. When he has language skills and is able to use them effectively and appropriately according to the context in which he is involved, we can say that he achieves the required level of communicative skills. In many parts of the world, the growing interest in modern methods of teaching the French language raises the question of how it should be done - the curriculum, the subject matter and the methodology - which should differ from the familiar norms developed in the past. Much has been written about traditional French language teaching, and until recently, information about modern methods of French language teaching was almost non-existent. Currently, many books and articles are being written to draw attention to this topic.
