Abstract
This paper explores effective methods for evaluating communicative competence and identifies strategies to enhance it through practice, feedback, and an interactive educational environment. Communicative competence encompasses not only grammatical accuracy but also the ability to convey meaning effectively in various contexts. The study reviews various assessment techniques, including formative and summative evaluations, self-assessments, and peer assessments, emphasizing their role in providing a comprehensive understanding of learners' communicative abilities.
