The increased attention to linguistic performance brought the scholars to communicative linguistics (Widdowson, H. 1978. Teaching Language as a Communication. OUP. Crystal, D. 1992. Introducing Linguistics. London: Penguin. Halliday, M. 1989. Spoken and Written Language. OUP.) The research into the language in the process of communication contributed to the studies of how to teach communicatively. The situation resulted in the emergence of communicative teaching method (Savignon, S. 1972. Communicative Competence: An Experiment in Foreign Language Teaching. Philadelphia. Littlewood, W. 1981. Communicative Language Teaching. CUP et al). Communicative teaching focused on the development of communicative competence (Hymes, D. 1971. On Communicative Competence. University of Pennsylvania Press. Canale, M. And M. Swain. 1980. Theoretical bases of communicative approach to second language teaching and testing. Applied Linguistics. 1: 1-47. Bachman, L. 1990. Fundamental Considerations in Language Testing. OUP) in learners, i.e. the knowledge of how to use the language for the purpose of communication in a variety of tasks and settings (Bygate, M. 1987. Speaking. OUP).
