Douglas, Dan

Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v10 n2 p245-61 Jun 1988

Reviews current research on listening comprehension and development of listening tests and considers four issues in detail: 1) the meaning of context in listening testing; 2) the concept of criterion referenced tests; 3) the notion of specific purposes in testing; and 4) the use of technology in listening tests. Issues for future research are discussed. (Author/LMO)
