TOPIC 7

What is the main goal of global listening?

• To identify every single word in the passage
• To understand the general meaning of what is heard
• To translate the text into the mother tongue
• To memorise the entire dialogue

Which of the following is a pre-listening activity?

• Summarising the text after listening
• Filling in missing words during the audio
• Predicting content from pictures or titles
• Matching speakers with opinions

According to Harmer (2001), inferring attitude requires learners to:

• Focus only on vocabulary lists
• Analyse tone, stress and intonation
• Ignore the speaker’s emotions
• Repeat words mechanically

Which of the following best defines intensive listening?

• Listening for enjoyment and general exposure
• Listening to detailed information using short texts played several times
• Listening while doing unrelated activities
• Listening without any specific task

A challenge for learners in listening comprehension is:

• The use of predictable vocabulary only
• Different accents and connected speech
• Lack of written texts
• Limited opportunities for role-plays

Which of the following is a stage of oral production?

• Imitative, controlled, guided, autonomous
• Reading, writing, translation, memorisation
• Listening, repeating, copying, dictation
• Pre-listening, while-listening, post-listening

In the Presentation–Practice–Production (PPP) model, the final stage focuses on:

• Controlled repetition of drills
• Free use of language in meaningful tasks
• Reviewing vocabulary lists only
• Teacher’s grammar explanations

Which of the following is an example of a communicative speaking activity?

• Completing a silent grammar worksheet
• Role-plays simulating a real-life situation
• Copying sentences from the board
• Memorising irregular verbs in lists

A key difference between fluency and accuracy in speaking is that:

• Fluency refers to spontaneous, fluid speech, while accuracy focuses on correctness
• Fluency means repeating after the teacher, accuracy means speed
• Fluency and accuracy are exactly the same skill
• Fluency only concerns pronunciation, accuracy only vocabulary

Which digital tool can support speaking practice through recorded video responses?

• Edpuzzle
• Flip (formerly Flipgrid)
• Kahoot
• Excel
