Developing English as a foreign language communicative competence: a curriculum design for teacher training.

Abstract

The present project focuses on the implementation of teaching and assessment strategies that encourage students to develop their communicative competencies. The reason to focus specifically on these possible causes is that the diagnostic enquiry on faculty members indicated that it is necessary to boost up succinct teaching and assessment strategies to better enhance communicative competence of B1 + articipants. Our first observations rendered that students who carried out the teaching and assessment strategies used in the present project eventually improved proficiency levels. It is also believed that the present research project may benefit other students’ competency standards.
