As teacher we should care about competence because language knowledge is essential for pedagogically instruction. Even though it seems that the view of competences has change many times the truth is that it has improved over the years and the added knowledge and research on this topic. We as teachers need to know what all the types of competence are and how they relate to each other. It is important to know that there are five types of competence as mentioned in the article. All five competences have to do with words, structures, sentences, and utterances, but the difference between them is in their technique towards the language itself. It can be somewhat difficult to understand the differences at first but applying each in different aspects help understand them more.

Part IV. Plot
In My Fair Lady the main character Eliza Doolittle, a flower girl is turned into a high society individual. This movie seeks to examine class distinctions, society’s prejudice, the gender dividend, identity and transformation. What is most astonishing and the key element to this movie is that all of these issues have to do with language and how it is spoken. Eliza had to learn how to manipulate her form of speaking with the help of her Prof. Higgins, to learn all over again how to speak correctly after years of speaking incorrectly or fouled according to high society. Prof. Higgins believed that the accent and tone of one's voice determined a person's prospects in society. He betted that he could teach any woman to speak so "properly" that he could pass her off as a duchess at an embassy ball. Prof. Higgins after punishments, repetition of vowels, mouthfuls, strictness, drilling, teaching, talking, and dressing Eliza was amazed by the total transformation in how Eliza was speaking the language and how society was reacting to her. Therefore confirming that the way an individual speaks depends on that individual’s prospect in society.
