Subject: TASK 14

TASK 14

How we can test communicative competence ?

By development grammatical,sociolinguistic and strategic competences.
Communicative tests are concerned not only with these different aspects of knowledge but on the testees ability to demonstrate them in actual situations.
Firstly, the teacher should attempt to replicate real life situations. Within these situations communicative ability can be tested as representatively as possible. There is a strong emphasis on the purpose of the test. The importance of context is recognised. There should be both authenticity of task and genuiness of texts. Tasks ought to be as direct as possible. When engaged in oral assessment the teacher should attempt to reflect the interactive nature of normal speech and also assess pragmatic skills being used.
Communicative tests are both direct and integrative.
They attempt to focus on the expression and understanding of the functional use of language rather than on the more limited mastery of language form.
The students should use the sentences at appropriate times.
