dc.description.abstractCommunication basically enables people to connect with each other and share information. Both verbal and nonverbal communication is established in the communication process. In this process, correct coding and decoding of the message to be conveyed ensures successful communication. At this point, it is very important for people to have communication competence in the globalizing world. Language is of great importance for communication competence. In addition, concepts such as empathy, social and behavioral comfort, harmony, sensitivity, and listening to the other person support communication competence. People need to have communication competence in order to carry out the communication process comfortably. It is especially important for students who go to a country different from their own country for education to gain communication competence. For this reason, this study was conducted to investigate the communication competence of Balkan students who came to our country for education and continue their education at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University. In the study conducted with the quantitative data analysis method, purposeful sampling technique, one of the non-probability sampling types, was used. An online survey was applied to 462 students who were reached. Descriptive statistics analysis technique was used. Data was processed using the statistics program and the result was reached. One of the important results that emerged in the study is that the general communication competence of female students is higher than that of male students. In addition, it is an important finding that the human relations dimension of communication competence sub-dimensions differs significantly according to the students' educational status and age, and the sensitivity competence dimension differs significantly according to the students' grade levels.
