Task 14

How can we test communicative competence?

As the authors explain in their text, communicative competence is about the ability to use the language appropriatelly in real life situations rather than produce grammatically correct sentences. To test communicative competnce, the teacher must be aware that the exercises must involve a real life situation where the students can perform roles using the target language to communicate, that means, to make him/herself understood and also to understand what the other is performing. Tests with situations where the testee has to change information, give opinions, ask, answer, apologize, make requests are good examples of how to test this ability. A good communicative competence test should be recorded by the teacher so the evaluation would take place in some other time than during the test. The teacher can make notes and point out in another class the student's abilities to use the language.
