Abstract

Teachers’ communicative competence should add the general teaching competences of in-service teachers at bilingual programs. This challenges teachers to meet the standard of a competent speaker. Unfortunately, schools hardly assess teachers’ communicative competence. This study aimed to find out the level of in-service teachers’ communicative competence and the correlation among the level of communicative competence aspects. This sequential explanatory study involved 82 in-service teachers who taught in English. All of the participants participated in the quantitative data collection and 12 of them were involved in the qualitative data collection. The results of this study reveal that the subjects of this study were found in safe zone. It indicates that teachers of English speaking programs under this study can perform their tasks adequately although they cannot be called competent yet. From the Spearman correlational analysis, it was found out that the coefficient correlation was above 0.76 indicating a very strong correlation between the overall communicative competence and its aspects and strong positive correlations among the communicative competence aspects. The results of qualitative data analysis confirm that participants’ communicative competence in each aspect of the communicative competence affects the overall communicative competence. The results of this study provide valuable input of teachers’ communicative competence which can be further followed up with suitable trainings to improve teacher’s English competence.
