This paper examines two predominant theories of language competence and their implications in terms of teaching and testing. The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare a learner's writing and speaking ability in order to establish whether these two distinct abilities represent a single unitary ability or two different abilities. The results of this study could enable language teachers form homogeneous groups according to specific language skills.
