This article explores the lexical component of communicative competence within the context of intensive language teaching. Lexical competence refers to the learner’s ability to acquire, understand, and appropriately use vocabulary in various communicative situations. The study focuses on effective methods of vocabulary acquisition in intensive language programs, emphasizing semantic clustering, contextual usage, and task-based application of lexical items. It also examines the integration of lexical skills with other components of language competence, such as phonological, grammatical, and pragmatic abilities. The findings highlight the crucial role of communicative approaches in enhancing lexical proficiency in accelerated learning environments.
