Exploring Different Dimensions of Language Use.
Coffin, Caroline
ELT Journal, v57 n1 p11-18 Jan 2003
Explores the way in which language teachers can diagnose language learners' competence from both a sociocultural and linguistic perspective. Uses two sample "letters of complaint" to consider competence in terms of how well the writers organize and structure their texts in relation to their social purpose and cultural context and then examines the extent to which the learners have control over a range of grammatical and lexical resources.
