Each theme is introduced with a review of the relevant literature, and then is examined through either two or three empirical studies. The notion of authenticity underlies each of these four themes. By creating more authentic test tasks that are similar to real world language tasks, test developers can create listening assessments that not only more effectively assess test takers' communicative competence, but can also have a positive washback effect on educational systems"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers 606 $aSecond language acquisition 606 $aListening comprehension 606 $aListening$xAbility testing 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers. 615 0$aSecond language acquisition. 615 0$aListening comprehension. 615 0$aListening$xAbility testing. 676 $a428.0071 700 $aOckey$b Gary J.$01544570 702 $aWagner$b Elvis 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796964703321 996 $aAssessing L2 listening$93798929 997 $aUNINA
