Communicative competence as well as linguistic competence is important in foreign language learning. Foreign language learners’ linguistic competence is reflected by their communicative competence in a foreign language. They try to display it through their performative competence which is based on their communicative skills. Group work or pair work can be considered as indispensable for language studies. Students from diverse background, different multiple intelligences and learning styles may help one another in this type of formation. This study aims at discussing how well prep class foreign language learners reflect their communicative competence. This study will discuss the following questions: 1) To what extent do prep-class English language learners use their communicative competence? 2) What are the strategies they refer to their communicative competence? 3) What is the role of prep-class English language learners’ intrinsic motivation to use their communicative competence effectively? Prep-class English language learners have asked to choose a topic they are interested in first. Then they are asked to form their groups of at least two or at most five. They presented them. To gather the data, video presentation have been analyzed. This study will help prep class students to improve their communicative competence, suggesting some handy strategies for their performative competence.
