Abstract: Linguistic Skills and Communicative competence are two integral aspects of Language learning. Generally it is taken for granted that the knowledge of the previous entails the later. But the research has found that it is not the case. The knowledge of linguistic skills does not necessarily result in good communicative competence. On the contrary the ability to communicate (though by means of para- linguistic features) has the potential to enhance the knowledge of Linguistic skills. The paper argues that in a classroom use of ICT the teacher must carefully choose paradigms and equipments so as to strengthen both the linguistic skills and Communicative competence.
