This article suggests an approach to designing communicative tests which facilitates student's acquisition of communicative competence in English. First, the nature of language ability, upon which communicative tests are constructed, is shown for test designer's reference. Second, the necessity to develop tests which assess students' grammatical knowledge is stressed as it is the key component of language ability. Two forms of grammatical tests which are now in use at Hiroshima University are briefly outlined, and part of them is displayed for reader's inspection. Third, a pilot communicative test which assesses student's functional knowledge is presented. Fifty language functions are included in the test and part of it is likewise displayed for further investigation and discussion. Finally, it is recommended that both grammatical and communicative tests be utilized complementarily to ensure the well-balanced development of student's communicative competence.
