The dynamic of English language learning in international adoptees: cognitive versus communicative language
Let us look at this situation more closely. There are two major domains of language usage, often referred to as communicative (or social) and cognitive (or academic) language.
Communicative language refers to language skills needed for social interaction in everyday communication within practical and familiar contexts. It includes basic skills in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. This aspect of language seems to be acquired naturally and without formal schooling. Communicative fluency is highly contextual and is supported by extra-linguistic means, such as gestures, facial expressions, intonation, body postures, etc. A lively informal discussion of the latest baseball match at a family picnic table is an example of communicative language use.
