Reliably Evaluate Listening in Natural Classroom Situations
The Listening Comprehension Test 2 assesses listening through natural classroom situations rather than through simple repetition or discrimination subtests.
Features and benefits
- Tasks reveal students' strengths and weaknesses in integrated language problem solving, reasoning, and comprehension of material presented aurally.
- Each subtest (Main Idea, Details, Reasoning, Vocabulary, and Understanding Messages) requires students to pay careful attention to what they hear, listen with a purpose in mind, remember what they hear well enough to think about it, avoid being impulsive in giving answers, and express answers verbally.
- For each item, students must determine what part of the message needs immediate attention, organize and understand the input, and plan appropriate responses. In order to respond, they must integrate the communication skills of vocabulary and semantics, syntax and morphology, phonology, and thinking.
- Age equivalents, percentile ranks, and standard scores are provided.
- Manual provides a Discussion of Performance section that helps you make appropriate and educationally relevant recommendations for remediation based on a clear understanding of each subtest.
- Standardized on 1,504 individuals who represented the 2000 U.S. Census for race, gender, age, and educational placement. In addition, 251 individuals with language disorders were used in the validity studies.
