Recently, research in second language acquisition has seen an increased attention on low-educated low-literate (LESLLA) learners.

Wang, Haiping; Yu, Guoxing – International Journal of Listening, 2021
Listen-to-summarize cloze (LSC) tasks are not rare in high-stakes language tests; however, we know little about what test-takers do during the tasks. In our study, we examined 16 students' think-aloud protocols (TAPs) which were recorded while they were completing two LSC tasks. The analysis of the 16 TAPs indicated iterative cognitive processes…
