Strategic Competence
Dornyei and Thurrell (1990) and Hung (2010) stated that strategic competence relates to the learners’ ability to master verbal and non-verbal communication strategies. Canale explains that such strategies may be needed for two main reasons: “to compensate for breakdowns in communication due to limiting conditions in actual communication or to insufficient competence in one or more of the other areas of communicative competence, and to enhance the effectiveness of communication” (Canale, 1983:10).
It also helps the learner to continue conversation flow. Learners in beginning stages may find that strategic competence can help them communicate even with their limited vocabulary.

They help their students to develop the ability to produce grammatically correct, logically connected sentences that are appropriate to specific contexts, and to do so using acceptable (that is, comprehensible) pronunciation. How the instructor teaches strategic competence in communicative English skill in WSU, DELL was also the main concern of this study.
