Abstract
The development of compensatory communicative competence has become an important objective in contemporary foreign language education, particularly in contexts where German is taught as a second foreign language after English or another previously acquired language. Compensatory communicative competence refers to learners’ ability to maintain communication and achieve communicative goals despite lexical, grammatical, pragmatic, or interactional gaps by using strategies such as paraphrasing, approximation, clarification requests, code-based transfer, gesture, self-repair, and meaning negotiation. This article examines the theoretical and practical foundations of developing students’ compensatory communicative competence in German as a second foreign language instruction.
