This paper explores the relationship between communicative competence and social inclusion within diverse academic communities. In an increasingly globalized educational environment, students from various linguistic and cultural backgrounds must interact and collaborate effectively. Communicative competence—the ability to use language appropriately in social and academic contexts—plays a crucial role in fostering a sense of belonging and active participation. The study highlights how improved communication skills can break down social barriers, enhance academic integration, and promote inclusive practices. By reviewing relevant literature and discussing real-life examples from multicultural academic settings, the paper argues that strengthening communicative competence is essential for achieving genuine inclusion in higher education institutions.
