Résumé :	This present dissertation attempts to investigate Algerian EFL students’ communicative competence in relation with the realization of the speech act of requesting. In brief, this study discusses two major aspects that face students when learning a foreign language namely communicative competence and speech acts. Communicative competence refers to the learner’s ability to produce appropriate utterances that are relevant to a given context. This notion in itself governs a set of different competencies such as pragmatic competence, sociocultural competence, and linguistic competence. All these competencies are considered as important components which help the learner to construct his communicative competence. Thus, it is assumed that in order to be communicatively competent students need to extend their knowledge to the social and cultural norms of the target language. This study also discusses the theory of speech acts which states that language is used to convey actions rather than describing things. This work sheds light on one particular speech act namely the speech act of requesting. In attempting to investigate the students’ awareness in the performance of this kind of speech act, and confirm or otherwise the validity of the research hypothesis, which stipulates that, if EFL learners lack communicative competence, they will likely fail to achieve an effective communication in requesting. So, in of order to achieve the purpose of this study, a questionnaire was directed to 25 participants of M1students of English at Mentouri Brothers University-Constantine 1. Findings of the study reveal that our students are able to perform requests utterances in terms of grammar correctness however, some of them had failed to perform appropriate and meaningful requests which are relevant to different situations. Students do not give importance to some factors such as the social distance of the interlocutors, the degree of imposition of the requests and the level of directness
