Blurb:

Chapter 7 critically examines six formats widely used in tests of listening, and discusses the extent to which they can be said to elicit processes which resemble those of real-world listening events. Their advantages in terms of ‘objective’ scoring are recognised; but questions are raised about the predictive validity of the scores obtained.
