| Abstract: | Competence is a widely used concept whose connotations differ slightly from one field to another. It operates in the educational, economic and technical areas and is generally rendered as skill, ability, performance or qualification. Competence as a multidimensional reality is an individual or collective characteristic that involves an accumulation of cognitive concepts, skills and attitudes. The three dimensions of competence, knowledge, skills and attitudes are widely accepted by experts and represent the internal structure, which has added another three elements: task, situation and context which form the external structure. Starting from these premises, the present work aims to analyse how competence is perceived in the acquisition of a foreign language. It also lays emphasis on the types of competence that transform the educational process into a dynamic mechanism whose role is not only to convey information, but also to turn information into action. |
