In a research project at the University of Illinois, US, Savignon (1972) adopted the term ‘communicative competence’ to characterize the ability of classroom language learners to interact with other speakers, to make meaning, as distinct from their ability to recite dialogs or perform on discrete-point tests of grammatical knowledge.
At a time when pattern practice and error avoidance were the rule in language teaching, this study of classroom acquisition of language looked at the effect of practice on the use of coping strategies as part of an instructional program. By encouraging students to ask for information, to seek out clarification, or to use whatever linguistic or nonlinguistic resources they could gather to negotiate meaning and stick to the communicative task at hand, teachers were invariably leading learners to take risks and speak in other than memorized patterns.
Test results at the end of the instructional period showed conclusively that learners who practiced communication in place of laboratory pattern drills performed with no less accuracy on discrete-points tests of grammatical structure. On the other hand, their communicative competence as measured in terms of fluency, comprehensibility, effort and amount of communication in unrehearsed oral communication tasks significantly surpassed that of learners who had had no such practice. Learners’ reactions to the test formats added further support to the view that even beginners respond well to activities that let them focus on meaning rather than formal features.

How to help your hangover
By Jen Christensen, CNN
Here's the secret to avoiding a hangover: Don't drink. Or at least drink in moderation, doctors say.
Thankfully, hangovers aren't all that serious.
Scientifically speaking, what cures a hangover is hard to know. That's because what we know about hangovers is still a little
murky, says Dr. Sharon Horesh Bergquist, a doctor at Emory Healthcare and an assistant professor of medicine.
What scientists do know about hangovers is that alcohol, when consumed in excess, can do a real number on your system.
It makes you want to run to the bathroom more and that can lead to dehydration. That process is what causes the thirst,
dizziness and the light-headedness you feel.
It can also trigger an inflammatory response from your immune system. That can hurt your ability to concentrate. It can hurt your
memory. It can make you feel lethargic.
Drinking alcohol in excess can cause your blood sugar to fall. If it dips too low it can cause a shakiness and weakness, even
seizures.
Alcohol can cause your blood vessels to expand, which can cause headaches.
It can irritate the lining of your stomach, making you nauseous.
You can't stop a hangover, says Bergquist, but there are a few ways you can improve your symptoms.
Drinking water as you consume alcohol can help with the dehydration issue.
"That does not improve your concentration or loss of spatial relation skills that come with a hangover, though," she says.
Eating a little something can help your stomach. But eating greasy food to soak up the alcohol better, as some people will tell
you, is a myth. In fact, that greasy stuff may irritate your stomach more. Instead, Bergquist suggests eating some healthy protein and
carbohydrates.
But other than avoiding alcohol altogether, the only other way to ease your symptoms is simple.
"Rest is the one way you can really help yourself," Bergquist said.
So try to sleep it off. You will feel better, eventually.
