Abstract

Communicative competence is a linguistic term which refers to a learner's ability for a second language. It does not refer only to a learner's ability to apply and use grammatical rules, but also to form correct utterances, and know how to use these utterances appropriately. Linguistic and intercultural competences do not exist in parallel and are not interchangeable. In some cases, there can be high level of foreign language communicative competence, but not very well-developed intercultural competence. However, in order to achieve successful intercultural communication and to use intercultural competence, it is very important that linguistic competence exists.
Thus, linguistic competence is interpreted as part of general communicative competence which defines the close link between the issues of linguistic diversity and the social adaptability of the individual, as well as their importance for social stability the discovery of a path not only to others but also to oneself.
Moving from communicative competence towards intercultural communicative competence will be discussed in this short theoretical study and their importance in English language teaching.

Keywords: communicative competence, intercultural communication competence, linguistic competence, foreign language teaching, culture, communication.
