The purpose of this paper is to propose efficient approaches for developing EFL materials which will improve university students' communicative competence in English. In the first place, a brief survey of the state of art of ELT at upper secondary schools is made to provide materials developers with accurate and up-to-date knowledge about what senior high school students have learnt before admission. Second, the necessity to develop functional syllabus-based materials is emphasized as these materials will provide students with realistic opportunities to utilize their grammatical knowledge for communication. The author insists that drills which will sharpen students' awareness of the "degree of threat" (discourse theory) inherent in language function be also included in their materials. Third, the author argues that students be infused with fundamental knowledge of how conversation works, particularly of communication strategies employed in organizing conversations as these are prerequisites for starting, maintaining and closing conversations adequately. Lastly, general guidelines for producing manageable texts and designing feasible tasks are presented.
