Task 14
Cléber Vieira de Araújo

Communicative competence can be measured by tests that make an effort to test the language in a way language is used in real communication. They might be seen as being on a continuum and should be based on a description of the language that the testees need to use. Testing is not limited to English for Specific Purposes situations, but should reflect the communicative situation in which the testees are likely to find themselves. In cases where the testees do not have a specific purpose, the language that they are tested on can be directed toward general social situations where they might be in a position to use English.

Supplying the tests with communicative elements appropriated to the course/what have been studied, the ability we want to measure is an alternative, since it is not easy or possible to make them often communicative. Encourage students study for more communicative tasks and create opportunities to them learn/perform the language is the main target.
