Listening, writing and reading do not occur in isolation in communicative contexts. Thus, competence is the type of knowledge which the learners acquire, develop, learn, use and forget. The purpose of the language teacher should be to provide learners a range of opportunities to experience the use of language in different socio-cultural contexts by creatively and critically using language in different interactional patterns which would make them successful communicators in the target language. </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Hacettepe Üniversitesi}
