Topik: sociolinguistic competence; teaching English; Indonesia Fulltext: TEACHING SOCIOLINGUISTIC COMPETENCE.pdf (6.95MB) Isi artikel In this shrinking world, being able to communicate effectively and properly has become a paramount skill. In line with this need, teaching English has been oriented to being able to communicate in the target language in real situations. There has been a trend to teach communicative competence in teaching English as a foreign language with the hope that learners will be able to use the target language communicatively upon completing a course. One of the components of communicative competence is sociolinguistic competence beside the other three namely linguistic competence, strategic competence, and discourse competence. It may happen that a learner is linguistically competent but he/she is not sociolinguistically competent when he/she has to use the target language in real communication with native speakers. One aspect that a speaker may lack is sociolinguistic competence in the target language which is much related to one’s culture. A certain expression is appropriate to say in a culture, but when the same thing is expressed in English, for example, it may be irritating. An English teacher needs to introduce sociolinguistic competence to her students so that later on when they communicate with native speakers there will be no misunderstanding. It is hoped that they can get along with native speakers without offending or hurting interlocutors due to improper expressions. This paper is going to explore how sociolinguistic competence is important in teaching English as a foreign language, how culture can be a problem in sociolinguistic competence and what aspects of sociolinguistic competence may be taught. The discussion will be addressed to teaching English with the Indonesian context, where English is taught as a foreign language, and where Indonesian culture is somehow different from English culture.
