Abstract
The current research questions the influence of linguistic competence on grammatical accuracy and pragmatic awareness in the students of university level. Linguistic competence, which can be defined as the combined knowledge of grammar, vocabulary and the use of language in a functional way, is viewed as a predictor of both functional and formal language performance. The research design used was qualitative and correlational, and the sample used comprised 100 students who were randomly sampled. The data were gathered through a standardized proficiency test, written and oral tasks, and analysis with a scenario-based questionnaire and evaluated with descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression in SPSS. The results have shown that linguistic competence is a significant predictor of grammatical accuracy and pragmatic awareness, although the latter effect is stronger (b =.594, R 2 =.35) than the former (b =.400, R 2 =.16). These findings support the importance of linguistic competence in supporting the structural correctness, as well as context-sensitive use of language in learning environments. This study supports empirically the integrative methodological approaches to the mode of language acquisition, which comprises balanced forces of formal and pragmatically enriched tasks, which contribute to the overall language proficiency in university education.
