ESL PODCASTS TESTING

Одной из любимых технологий в London English School по улучшению аудирования является использование подкастов с тестовой системой и ключевым вокабуляром.

Подкасты разбиты на категории от начального уровня до продвинутого с использованием современного живого языка в различных жизненных ситуациях.

На базовом уровне вам предлагается лишь вписать пропущенные слова и выбрать подходящий по смыслу ответ.
В среднем и сложном уровне вам необходимо уловить смысл диалога и ответить на предложенные вопросы. В отличие от начального уровня варианты ответа никогда дословно не совпадают с тем, что прозвучало в диалоге, а перефразированы с сохранением общего смысла.

Такой подход предполагает, что вы абсолютно поняли смысл сказанного, а не просто четко расслышали то или иное слово. Такой принцип применят при составлении международных экзаменов таких как TOEFL и IELTS.

Принцип итогового результата в процентах создан для объективной оценки вашего понимания и для возможности отслеживания вашего прогресса.

Предлагаем вам примеры подобных упражнений:
