Communication involves not only knowing the context and interlocutors but also having knowledge of the linguistic resources available to achieve specific communicative purposes. Linguistic or systemic knowledge refers to the understanding of how language works, including its structure, grammar, vocabulary, and discourse. It involves knowing how to use different types of language in different contexts, such as formal and informal, spoken and written, and different genres, such as narrative, descriptive, and argumentative. Linguistic knowledge also includes an understanding of the relationship between language and meaning, including figurative language, metaphors, and idioms. In short, having linguistic knowledge is an essential aspect of successful communication in any language.

English language teaching has gone through various trends and approaches. One of the traditional approaches is the Grammar Translation Method, which emphasizes memorizing grammar rules and translation. Newer approaches such as the Direct Method, Audio-Lingual Method, and Communicative Language Teaching focus on communication and interaction in the target language. Technology has also been incorporated in language learning, while task-based and project-based approaches emphasize real-world tasks and projects to develop language and other skills.
