Book excerpt: This book explores the effectiveness of listen-to-summarize tasks as a tool to assess lecture comprehension ability. It especially focuses on listen-to-summarize tasks that represent listeners’ meaning building and the discourse construction of the lecture for listening assessment purposes. It discusses in depth the nature of lecture comprehension and introduces the approaches to assessing it. It also presents teachers’ and students’ perceptions of listen-to-summarize task demands and their respective implications. By observing interactions between test-takers’ cognitive processes and the task itself, the book explores the effectiveness of these tasks. It also examines the discrepancy in cognitive processes between different language competence levels in detail, shedding light upon current research on lecture comprehension assessment and offering insights into listening comprehension instruction.

Book excerpt: In today's academic environment, one essential skill that is often overlooked is active listening. While educators dedicate substantial time to teaching reading, writing, and speaking, listening skills remain a marginalized aspect of education. This negligence leaves students ill-prepared for the demands of the modern world and results in billions of dollars being spent by companies to train their employees in effective listening. The gap between the need for proficient listeners and the scarcity of resources to nurture this skill is harming or at least significantly delaying the potential of these students. Mindful Listening Instruction in the Elementary Classroom: Authentic Strategies Using Picturebooks is the solution we've all been waiting for. Academic scholars are deeply committed to improving education, and they have recognized the urgency of addressing this pervasive issue. This book offers a transformative solution by advocating for the integration of listening skill instruction into elementary classrooms, using the engaging medium of picture books. This book is a roadmap to a brighter future for our students and society. By addressing the problem of neglected listening skills and offering a compelling solution, this book equips educators, academics, and anyone invested in education with the tools to bridge the gap between the demand for proficient listeners and the current educational landscape's shortcomings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive account of performance-based assessment of L2 lexical proficiency analyzes and compares two of the primary methods of evaluation used in the field and unpacks the ways in which they tap into different dimensions of one model of lexical competence and proficiency. This book builds on the latest research on performance-based assessment, which has most recently pointed to the application of more quantitative measures to L2 data, to systematically explore the qualitative method of using human raters in assessment exercises and the quantitative method of using automatic computation of statistical measures of lexis and phraseology. Supported by an up-to-date review of the existing literature, both approaches’ unique features are highlighted but also compared to one another to provide a holistic overview of performance-based assessment as it stands today at both the theoretical and empirical level. These findings are exemplified in a concluding chapter, which summarizes results from an empirical study looking at a range of lexical and phraseological features and human raters’ scores of over 150 essays written by both L2 learners of English and native speakers. Taken together, the volume challenges existing tendencies within the field which attempt to use one method to validate one another by demonstrating their capacity to indicate very different elements of lexical proficiency, thereby offering a means by which to better conceptualize performance-based assessment of L2 vocabulary in the future. This book will be of interest to students and researchers working in second language acquisition and applied linguistics research, particularly those interested in issues around assessment, vocabulary acquisition, and language proficiency.
