12. Integrative tests The necessity of assessing practical language skills and the need of measuring productive capacities for language, led to a demand for language tests which involved an integrated performance on the part of the language user . The new orientation resulted in the development of tests which integrated knowledge of relevant systematic features of language (pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary) with an understanding of context.

14. Communicative Language Tests Hymes’s theory of communicative competence greatly expanded the scope of what was covered by an understanding of language and the ability to use language in context, particularly in terms of the social demands of performance. Hymes saw that knowing a language was more than knowing its rules of grammar.
