Sažetak

There is a high level of agreement among theoreticians today on
the basic content of the defi nition of communicative competence. However, it has
been often pointed out in the literature on language testing that before undertaking
research on communicative competence it is essential to examine and clearly
determine the construct of communicative competence, namely, to formulate a
defi nition which will enable a simple operationalization of that construct.
This paper presents in brief the process of defi ning communicative competence
which started in the late 1960s. Several important defi nitions and models of
communicative competence are presented in two separate sections. On the basis of
these defi nitions and models, there is a discussion in the fi nal section on the manner
of defi ning communicative competence which is relevant for the scientifi c research
project «English in Croatia».
