Alternative Computer Assisted Communicative Task-based Language Testing: New Communicational and Interactive Online Skills

Computer-assisted language learning knowledge tests should no longer be designed on traditional skills to measure individual competence through traditional skills such as reading, comprehension and writing, but instead, it should diagnose interactive and communication skills in foreign lan-guages.
