LISTENING items (first draft)

Hello!

This would be for assessing listening. Actually, for practical reasons the teacher should read to the students since not every school has resources as to have CD players so that is why I decided the teacher should better read the statements instead. The target population should be middle school beginner students who'd taken some 16 lessons as much. They should have reviewed introductions, countries and nationalities, and they should know how to ask for an give personal information, telephone numbers, and addresses.


Part I. Listening. Listen very carefully and circle the letter according to the sentence that you hear. The teacher will read every sentence just twice.


1. Example: A.-Are you Brian Gibson?
B.- Are you Brian Williams?
C.- Are you Andy Gibson?
D.- Are you Robbie Gibson?

2. A.- There’s my mom.
B.- There’s my bus.
C.- There’s my dad.
D.- There’s my brother.


3. A.- Brian Gibson is English.
B.- Brian Williams is Australian.
C.- Andy Gibson is not Canadian.
D.- Robbie Gibson is American.


4. A.-What’s your first name?
B.- What’s your last name?
C.- What’s your date of birth?
D.- What’s your address?


5. A.- I’m from Australia.
B.- I’m from China.
C.- I’m from Canada.
D.- I’m from Brazil.


6. A.- this is my sister.
B.- these are my cousins
C.- this is my brother.
D.- these are my uncles.

Hi, Eric
This is classic. The sort of exercise we all do in class. But following the "contextuality" trend; it would be very good if you gave students a context to connect to.

Is it possible you post the sentence or question you will be reading to the them! I think you might also have other kinds of items just to decrease the guessing factor you might have with multiple choice. What's the reading all about? Why are listening to this?
