Subject: task 14 - testing communicative competence

testing the communicative competence of a person means to check how well this person is able to use the language in real life situtations; for doing so, it is much more interesting to evaluate how appropriated the speech of this person is in a given situation, than testing how grammatically correct his/her sentences are.

communicative language test should describe the language that the students need to use, and those students must have a previous knowledge of the tasks they are going to perform.

When applying communicative language tests it is critical to bear in mind that, in real life, there rarely is only one right and correct answer for a given situation; this means that a subjective element should be considered; thus scales need to be developed to evaluate the results; those scales must describe the quality (and sometimes quantity) of the receptive or productive performance of the student.
