Assesing listening

 There are two interacting concepts of performance and

abservation. All language users perform the acts of
listening, speaking, reading, and writing. They of course
focuses rely on their underlining competence in order to
accomplish these performance.
 Listening is receptive skill so we can observe neither the process of
performing nor the product. The process of the listening itself is the invisible,
in audible process of internalizing meaning from the auditory signals being
transmitted to the ear and brain.
 The product of the listening and reading is not the
spoken or written response. the product is within the
structure of the brain.
 Basic Types Of Listening

 listening has often played second fiddle to its

counterpart, speaking. As with all effective tests,
designing appropriate assessment taks in listening begins
with the specification of objectives or criteria
The following process flash through
your brain
 We recognize speech sounds and hold a temporary “imprint” of
them in short- term memory.

 Simultaneusly determine the type of speech event (monologue,

interpersonal dialogue, traditional dialogue) that is being processed
and attend to its context (who the speaker is, location, purpose)
and the content of the messege.
 Linguistic decoding skills and background schemata to
bring a plausible interpretation to the messege and
assign a literal and intended meaning to utterance.

 In most cases (except for repetition tesks, which involved

short term memory only).
Types of Listening Performence

 Intensive: listening for the perception of the

components (phonemes words, intonation, and disourse
markers)of a larger stretch of language

 Responsive: listening to relatively short stretch of

language ( a greeting, question, command,
comprehentioncheck) in order to make an equally short
response
 Selective: processing stretches of discourse such as short
monologue for several minutes in order to “scan” for
certain information.

 Extensive: listening to develop a top down , global

understanding osf spoken language.

A little mouse jumped on him.
The lion woke up, picked up the mouse,
and opened his mouth to eat him.
“I’m sorry to wake you up.
Please don’t eat me.
I can help you one day.” said the mouse.
“That’s funny! Okay, I’ll let you go.” said the lion.
Later, a hunter’s net fell on the lion.
