초록
The purpose of this article is to examine how the communicative competence elements, grammatical, social-linguistic, discourse, strategic competence, proposed by Canale & Swain, are connected with smart phone Apps for English reading. In order to achieve this goal, several linguistic theories associated with communicative competence and background knowledge needed for English reading learning were reviewed. Then 48 English reading Apps were chosen to be investigated. As a result, the above-mentioned elements were found in the Apps. The reviewed Apps were classified into three categories, good, fair, and poor, according to the extent to which the Apps were likely to offer communicative learning activities. As one of the most advanced technology media, smart phones are being used in various areas including ESL or EFL learning lately. Thus, smart phone Apps can also be considered a new type of useful tool for improving L2 learners' English proficiency. In this sense, this paper perceives the pedagogical potential of App contents for facilitating other skills, such as speaking, listening, and writing. Based on this paper's discussions, it is suggested that language practitioners form a pedagogical consensus with App developers to produce Apps which are more communicativecompetence oriented.
