Linguistic Communication

Competencia en Comunicación Lingüística (CCL)

Comunicación · Lectura · Escritura · Expresión

Overview

Linguistic Communication competence refers to the ability to use language — spoken and written — as a tool for communication, representation, interpretation, and understanding of reality. It encompasses the ability to express and understand ideas, feelings, facts, and opinions in both oral and written form, and to interact linguistically in an appropriate, creative, and critical manner in a full range of sociocultural and communicative contexts.

Why It Matters

Language is the primary medium through which all other learning takes place. Strong linguistic competence enables students to access knowledge across all subjects, participate in democratic life, and develop their personal and professional identities.

Key Dimensions

1

Oral Communication

Listening, speaking, and conversational interaction in formal and informal contexts.

2

Written Communication

Reading comprehension, writing for different purposes and audiences, and text analysis.

3

Multimodal Communication

Understanding and producing texts that combine language with images, sound, and digital formats.

4

Critical Language Use

Identifying bias, evaluating sources, and using language ethically and responsibly.
