It consists of language competence (linguistic, sociolinguistic, and discourse competence) and intercultural competence (attitudes, knowledge, skills, and awareness) that help one to be able to successfully integrate in a multicultural society (adapted from Bennett & Bennett, 2004; Byram, 1997; Fantini, 2001; Sinicrope et al., 2007).
Canale and Swain (1980) proposed a theoretical framework of language competence consisting of three main components: grammatical competence, sociolinguistic competence, and strategic competence.

A diagnosis of schizophrenia according to DSM-IV-TR criteria > eighteen years old Being able to give informed consent Exclusion criteria are: Receiving CBT at the moment of inclusion The presence of a florid psychosis A co-morbid neurological disorder No competence of the Dutch language A subsample of 40 patients will also participate in the fMRI part of the study.
Exclusion was also made if participants reported a more dominant pain elsewhere in the body, or conditions potentially detrimental to completing the study interventions, such as ongoing malignant disease, severe psychiatric disorders, neurological diseases, drug abuse, or insufficient competence of the Swedish language.
Secondly, most adults suffering infarcts in the left hemisphere language areas do in fact recover at least some degree of language competence and many recover substantially normal competence, especially with treatment (Holland et al. 1996).
