Abstract

This research looks at how theory and practice work together
to measure language skills in Communicative English Language
Teaching (CELT). The study looks at ways to evaluate
communicative competence using activities that mimic real-life
language usage, with a focus on the change from conventional
discrete-point testing to performance-based evaluation. Using
modern frameworks and real-world investigations, the study
shows how hard it is for instructors to balance theoretical ideas
with real-world classroom problems including dependability,
validity, and washback effects. The research also looks at new
technologies that help with communicative assessment and talks
about what they mean for teaching. This project intends to help
create more balanced and context-sensitive ways of evaluating
language in CELT classes by connecting theoretical ideas with
real-world practices. The goal is to encourage learner-centred
assessment that supports meaningful language development.
