Academic Demands Related to Listening Skills.
Powers, Donald E.
Language Testing, v3 n1 p1-38 Jun 1986
Survey responses of faculty in six graduate study fields and undergraduate English faculty identified nine listening skills that they perceived as particularly important to academic success in lecture classes. Faculty believed that non-native English speakers had greater difficulty with listening activities. Research suggestions are presented regarding the construct validity of listening comprehension tests. (34 references) (Author/CB)
