Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article explores the role of linguistic competence in the effective teaching of language units in English. Linguistic competence, first defined by Noam Chomsky, refers to the subconscious knowledge of grammatical structures that enables speakers to produce and understand meaningful sentences. The paper discusses how linguistic competence contributes to learners’ mastery of phonological, morphological, lexical, syntactic, and semantic aspects of the language. It also highlights the importance of integrating linguistic and communicative competence in modern pedagogy. Practical strategies for developing students’ linguistic competence in English classrooms are proposed. Findings emphasize that a balanced approach between grammatical awareness and communicative practice ensures both fluency and accuracy in language use.
