Abstract EN

This work is generally intended to give a comprehensive account of the communication breakdown between native speakers and EFL users.

As international communication increases in the trend towards globalization, the demand for competence in English is interesting more and more in the countries where English is a second / foreign language.

Teaching English in these countries, however, fails to develop English proficiency for communication.

The deficiency of communicative competence in English appears to result from the lack of interpersonal interaction in English.

Therefore, one may suggest that improving interpersonal and interaction is one main factor that possibly narrows the gap in the communication between native speakers of English and those who use English as a second / foreign language.

It presents some brief views of some researchers who consider interpersonal and interaction a fundamental requirement in the acquisition of second / foreign language.

Accordingly, it is regarded as a fundamental requirement for Foreign Language Acquisition (henceforth, FLA).

The interactive and perspective in FLA have placed considerable attention on the role of interaction in general.

On the one hand, "internal communication" seems to require multiple competences.

Studies of pragmatic and discourse competences that focus on the process of achieving mutual intelligibility in spoken or written text, gain increasing significance.
