The development and validation of a test of listening comprehension for English as a second language at the Dutch National Institute for Educational Measurement (Cito) is described. The test uses two distinct item formats: true-false items and modified cloze items with two options. Both item formats were found to measure foreign language listening comprehension in a valid and reliable way, testing comprehension of a large variety of language samples. However, the cloze item appeared to demonstrate better psychometric qualities. Further testing of the true-false item format is recommended. (MSE)
