Abstract

This article explores the vital role of pragmatic, sociolinguistic, and strategic competence in foreign language teaching, advocating for a shift from traditional grammar-focused approaches towards a more communicative and learner-centered pedagogy. It examines each competence in detail, outlining their key features, challenges, and pedagogical implications. By fostering these skills, educators can equip learners with the ability to communicate effectively, appropriately, and strategically in real-world situations, fostering intercultural understanding and promoting lifelong language learning
