Communicative Language Testing
Communicative language testing is intended to provide the teacher with information
about the learners’ ability to perform in the target language in certain context-specific tasks. It
is commonly agreed that, “By the mid-80s, the language-testing field had begun to focus on
designing communicative language-testing tasks” (Brown, 2003, p. 10). However, there is
an overt and manifested mismatch between teaching practices and testing activities. In this
very specific context, Inbar-Lourie (2008) notes that
The move from an atomized view of language knowledge to what is known as
communicative competence, and to communicative and task-based approaches to
language teaching has accentuated the incongruity of existing assessment measures.
Calls for matching language learning and evaluation have been repeatedly made
since Morrow (1979) urged language testers over three decades ago, to bridge the
gap between communicatively focused teaching goals and the testing procedures
used to gauge them.
(Inbar-Louri,e 2008, p. 289)
As a case in point, speaking, the most active productive skill and the most common
focus of Communicative-oriented language teaching and the hallmark par excellence of
Communicative Language Teaching, is not tested at all. That’s a fundamental paradox in the
sense that the communicative approach, as its name implies, originates from the theory of
language as communication and the main objective of language teaching activities is to
develop communicative competence as put forward first by Hymes (1972), then elaborated by
Canale and Swain (1980), extended by Canale (1983) and revisited by Bachman (1990) and
Bachman and Palmer (1996). Understanding the different components that come into play in
the elaborate model of communicative competence is necessary and helpful for developing
communicative language test.
