Extractions: recognize this reality in a focus statement for its "Communication Strand", where, in the 3rd paragraph, the foundational theory for the "modes of communication" is the notion that "meaning lies within the listener, viewer, or reader, and that within dialogue (whether oral or written) meaning is constantly being negotiated." The statement continues "This concept of negotiating meaning is especially important when dealing with persons of another culture or who speak another language." We all know that negotiating from a position of weakness is the fool's strategy. Our strength in deriving relevant meaning in our own native language brings into play a multitude of learned behaviors and skills, often performed unconsciously: our general and field-specific knowledge, a battery of similar experiences, semantic parsing, querying, our notions of non-verbal language, our previous exposure to and recognition of discrete components in the specific communication act, our daring, our patience and tolerance for information gaps and inference, creating effacing and replacing horizons of expectation, to name a few in this devilishly complex node of communication assistants.

http://www.englishlistening.com/theory.phtml

Extractions: This page gives a theoretical explanation on how to study second language listening comprehension. Firstly, we provide a simple overview of what scholars know about listening comprehension, and then secondly we conclude from that how to teach, and study, listening comprehension. We hope both teachers and students will find this useful. This page is very long, so it is divided into different sections. The sections are: Listening is Different From Reading Speech Consists of Sounds Speech Uses Different Language Speech Takes Place in "Real Time" ... In Short There are many skills necessary to listen to spoken English. Some skills are similar to the skills used in reading. But many important listening skills are different from reading skills. That's why if you want to learn to listen, you must practice listening. Listening skills are different from reading skills because speech is different from writing. Below are some of the main ways speech is different from writing. Contents The biggest difference between speech and writing is that speech consists of sounds. This is very important, because processing the sound adds a whole new set of skills that are not necessary for reading.
The Language Teacher Online 21.10: Computer-Adaptive Testing Of Listening Compre
ComputerAdaptive Testing of listening comprehension A Blueprint for CAT Development. Thetesting of listening comprehension An introspective study.
http://langue.hyper.chubu.ac.jp/jalt/pub/tlt/97/oct/dunkel.html

Extractions: Georgia State University Return to The Language Teacher Online The use of computer-adaptive testing (CAT) for placement/achievement testing purposes has become an increasingly appealing and efficient method of assessment. Simply put, CAT saves testing time and decreases examinee frustration since low-ability examinees are not forced to take test items constructed for high-ability testees, and vise versa. As Bergstrom and Gershon (1994, p. 1) note, "When the difficulty of items is targeted to the ability of candidates, maximum information is obtained from each item for each candidate, so test length can be shortened without loss of reliability." It is the three-fold purpose of this article: (1) to familiarize EFL teachers with some basic information about what a CAT is and how one operates; (2) to describe the structure, content, and operation of the ESL listening comprehension CAT; and (3) to acquaint those EFL professionals considering CAT development de novo with the genesis, planning, and implementation of the listening CAT software that drives the ESL listening CAT. To achieve this final goal, the author describes both the inception and realization of her CAT development project which was undertaken with funding from the United States Department of Education, and with the support of instructional designers and computer specialists at The Pennsylvania State University. The author hopes to inspire readers to learn more about CAT, and to help them decide whether they should use available, commercial CAT software programs (e. g., MicroCAT) for their CAT development and administration, or whether they should undertake creation of their own CAT software from scratch (no pun intended). The information contained in this report may be able to serve as a rough blueprint for those CAT developers.
