Correct Answer
D. LAT assess test-takers' ability to study a language, while PT assess overall language ability.Explanation
LAT assesses the test-takers' ability to study a language, focusing on their potential to learn and improve their language skills. On the other hand, PT evaluates the overall language ability of the test-takers, taking into account their proficiency in the four language skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening).

The correct answer is "the weight of the sections reflects the objectives' emphases." This means that when planning the scoring of the test, it is important to assign weights to different sections based on the importance and emphasis of the objectives. This ensures that the scoring accurately reflects the objectives of the test and gives appropriate weightage to each section.Rate this question:

[3 points] Which of the following is one of the most popular listening tasks in tests?
- A.
Dictation
- B.
Information transfer
- C.
Communicative stimulus-response tasks
- D.
Editing
Correct Answer
C. Communicative stimulus-response tasksExplanation
Communicative stimulus-response tasks are one of the most popular listening tasks in tests. These tasks require the test-taker to listen to a stimulus, such as a conversation or a monologue, and then respond to it by answering questions or completing tasks. This type of task assesses the test-taker's ability to understand and respond appropriately to spoken language, making it a commonly used listening task in tests. Dictation, information transfer, and editing are also listening tasks, but they are not specified as one of the most popular ones in the question.Rate this question:

[2 points] In relation to the observable performance of listening, the teacher...
- A.
Can directly observe both the process and the product.
- B.
Cannot directly observe both the process and the product.
- C.
Can directly observe the process but not the product.
- D.
Cannot directly observe the process but can observe the product.
Correct Answer
B. Cannot directly observe both the process and the product.Explanation
The correct answer is that the teacher cannot directly observe both the process and the product. This means that the teacher is unable to directly witness both how the listening is being done and the outcome or result of the listening. The teacher may be able to observe the process of listening, such as the student's attention and engagement, but they may not be able to directly observe the product, which would be the understanding or comprehension of the listening material.Rate this question:

[3 points] Which is NOT a micro-skill of listening?
- A.
Recognize cohesive devices in spoken discourse.
- B.
Recognize reduced forms of words.
- C.
Discriminate among distinct sounds of English.
- D.
Distinguish between literal and implied meanings.
Correct Answer
D. Distinguish between literal and implied meanings.Explanation
The micro-skill of distinguishing between literal and implied meanings is not a part of listening. This skill falls more under the category of reading or interpreting written text, as it requires understanding the context and subtext of the words. Listening primarily focuses on understanding spoken words and extracting meaning from the auditory input.Rate this question:

[3 points] Which is NOT an intensive listening task?
- A.
Information transfer
- B.
Recognition of morphology
- C.
Stress pattern recognition
- D.
Paraphrase recognition
Correct Answer
A. Information transferExplanation
An intensive listening task typically involves focusing on specific details or specific aspects of language. Information transfer, recognition of morphology, stress pattern recognition, and paraphrase recognition all require active listening and understanding of specific linguistic elements. However, information transfer can be considered as an extensive listening task as it involves understanding and transferring information from a listening source to a written or spoken form. Therefore, information transfer is not an intensive listening task.Rate this question:

[4 points] Listening tests can use open-ended questions rather than multiple-choice items ...
- A.
But multiple-choice items are more authentic.
- B.
Because open-ended questions are easier to score than multiple-choice items.
- C.
But multiple-choice items are easier to score than open ended-questions.
- D.
Because open ended-questions are the most popular listening task.
Correct Answer
C. But multiple-choice items are easier to score than open ended-questions.Explanation
The correct answer is "but multiple-choice items are easier to score than open-ended questions." This is because open-ended questions require subjective evaluation and scoring, whereas multiple-choice items can be easily scored objectively by comparing the chosen option with the correct answer.Rate this question:

[4 points] How to make sure that a Listening Cloze test is not merely another reading comprehension test?
- A.
Delete every nth word.
- B.
Delete the words that are not easily predicted by simply reading the text.
- C.
Repeat playing the audio recording as many times as possible during the test.
- D.
Repeat the instruction both in writing and in audio.
Correct Answer
B. Delete the words that are not easily predicted by simply reading the text.Explanation
To ensure that a Listening Cloze test is not just a reading comprehension test, it is important to delete the words that cannot be easily predicted by simply reading the text. By removing these words, the test taker will be forced to rely on their listening skills rather than relying on their ability to comprehend the written text. This helps to assess their ability to understand spoken language and their listening comprehension skills specifically.Rate this question:

[3 points] A Sentence Repetition test has the following features, EXCEPT...
- A.
It might only test recognition of sounds.
- B.
It is highly valid and reliable as a listening task.
- C.
The test might include testing oral ability.
- D.
The test might be testing short-term memory ability.
Correct Answer
B. It is highly valid and reliable as a listening task.Explanation
The correct answer is "It is highly valid and reliable as a listening task." The other options all describe features of a Sentence Repetition test. The fact that the test might only test recognition of sounds suggests that it focuses on phonological processing rather than comprehension. The inclusion of testing oral ability indicates that the test assesses both listening and speaking skills. Additionally, the mention of testing short-term memory ability suggests that the test requires the ability to hold and recall information in the immediate term.Rate this question:

By listening to the text three times, test takers have a higher chance of capturing the correct words and spelling, resulting in a more accurate dictation.Rate this question:
