4.d. Strategic competence
Strategic competence is the ability to compensate for lack of ability in any of the other areas. What do you do when you don4 know a word that you need? How do you manage a social situation when you aren't quite sure about the rules of etiquette? In both cases, you rely on your strategic competence to help you communicate. Everyone has some degree of strategic competence in any language. If you are hungry, but cannot speak the language, you can probably still make your need known through gesture and facial expression because hunger is a universal fact of human life. Language learners who really need to communicate in their adopted language tend to develop a number of strategies for making themselves clear in spite of their incomplete knowledge.
Let us suppose that you are visiting Hungary and suddenly realize that you need to buy some dental floss. You speak some elementary Hungarian but you don't know how to say "dental floss." Having located a likely place to make your purchase, you approach the clerk. Now what?
You can use gesture to convey your message. You can coin a word, perhaps "teethstring." You can use circumlocution: "I would like to buy thing for cleaning mouth parts. Inside. Please." If you can't get your message across, you can give up! Maybe your need for dental floss was not so urgent after all.
