- Abstract
This paper aims at designing a communicative course and developing a testing system for it. It begins with explaining what is meant by syllabus and testing here. The paper discusses theory around communicative syllabus and communicative testing in detail, which it develops later on. It highlights the relevance of theory in the target situation (University of Sindh) by discussing current in-class situation. The paper also provides practical implications on applicability of communicative syllabus and communicative testing. Of all the types of the communicative syllabus presented by Yalden, we prefer Type 5 the Fully Notional Syllabus for the selected situation. Finally, before conclusion, we present the view on constructing good communicative tests, which can prove useful in target situation.
