§3.1. Recognizing Phonological and Morphological Elements

Listening is its own mode of performance because speaking ability is only as good as one’s listening ability. There are four basic types of listening, which are intensive, responsive, selective, and extensive. Assessments are designed to cater to these four categories and assess them accordingly.

Recognizing Phonological and Morphological Elements

Intensive Listening is a typical assessment that assesses phonological and morphological elements of language. Example tasks include minimal phonemic and morphological pair recognition. These assessments are great to assess students with past-tense markers as well as stressed and unstressed parts of words. This type of assessment is not quite authentic but does serve the purpose for assessing parts of words. Students must listen carefully for components in a large stretch of language, such as phonemes, intonation, discourse markers, ect. The assessment example I am presenting is an assessment that recognizes phonological and morphological elements.

This form of listening assessment assesses students’ ability to correctly identify different phonemes and morphemes commonly found in the English language.

Example:
Phonemic Pair, consonants

Students hear: (He’s from South Korea. She’s from South Korea.) Students hear: (We are from the U.S.A. We’re from the USA.)
Students hear: (Come here. Come there.)
Students hear: (He is walking. He is working.)

Phonemic Pair, vowels

Students hear: (Is he living? Is he leaving?) Students hear: (Is he staring? Is he steering?) Students hear: (sitting. Setting.)

Morphological Pair, -ed ending

Students hear: (I love you very much; I loved you very much) Students hear: (We miss you; We missed you)
Students hear: (We walk to school; We walked to school)

One word stimulus

Students hear: (read, lead) Students hear: (bad, mad) Students hear: (pass, past)
