We can test communicative competence by comunicative test of listening where would test not whether the testee could understand what a utterance means, but place it in a context and see if the testee can respond appropriately to it. We can test communicative competence also by a evaluation adapted for each band because each band has a description of the quality of the receptive or productive performance of the tastee. In conclusion, we can say that communicative language tests are those which make an effort to test language in a way that reflects the way that language is used in real communication. It is not always possible to make language tests communicative, but it may often be possible to give them communicative elements. This can have beneficial backwash effects. If students are encouraged to study for more communicative tasks, this can only have a positive effect on their language learning.
