 note = {It has been said that "the best kept secret in foreign language education is that
communiation is a social interaction much more than it is a linguistic exchange"(Seelye,1997,p.xiii).Perhaps this is most evident in the Japanese EFL classrooms, Where the majority of students are not capable of interacting socially in the target language.
According to Savignon(1983)"performance is what one does;competence is what one knows"(p.9).In the EFL classroom in Japan, many students can observed performing a linguistic exchange of repetition drills and choral reading exercises.But they can not be classified as competent in a social interactive English conversation.},
