Abstract | Approaches to measuring listening comprehension that can be used in the classroom by teachers of English as a second language are presented. General abilities needed to comprehend spoken language, and stages that a second language learner may go through in developing proficiency in speech comprehension, are outlined. Techniques for measuring listening comprehension include two types of objective testing items: multiple-choice and fill-in. Multiple-choice formats include: use of question-choice of response, conversational statement-response, dialogue-response, and paraphrase-response. Fill-in formats include the grammar comprehension item developed by Bowen and variations of cloze tests. Examples are presented of the types of objective test items. Dictation tasks for testing listening comprehension are also described and examples are presented. Additionally, a test is described which requires the examinee to recall a lecture by selecting points that had been discussed. (SW) |
