The document discusses communicative competence and communicative strategies. It defines communicative competence as knowing what to say, how to say it, and when to say it. There are four genres of communicative competence: narrative, procedural, expository, and persuasive. Communicative competence also has four types: socio-linguistic competence, grammar competence, discursive competence, and strategic competence. Communicative strategies refer to plans or techniques used to make communication effective and successful. There are seven types of communication strategies: nomination, restriction, turn-taking, topic control, topic shifting, repair, and termination. The document provides a performance task that divides students into groups and assigns conversational contexts for them to apply the communication strategies.
