Some students have a difficult time learning a language to a level that allows them to apply that knowledge in a simulated real-life situation. Communication Language Testing (CLT) assesses a student' s performance in a simulated situation such as a mock interview (where the student is asked a number of questions that exemplify good comprehension) or a testing task that would grade good or competent social and speaking ability. These tasks involve certain speech acts that are deemed valid and exemplify a standard with respect to certain specified abilities such as asking directions, describing a friend, or ordering food in a restaurant, in a "real" setting. In this paper, I will discuss the various tests used in language classrooms in Japan and how they compare to current practices in CLT. I will also assert that Communicative Language Ability (CLA) is a valuable language learning methodology and should be incorporated in the foreign language curriculum throughout Japan.
