| Summary: | ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to present some instructional ideas for listening comprehension
in Arabic as a second language (ASL) and their alignment with listening assessment.
Among the suggestions are using spoken texts as instructional input, introducing the
micro- and macro markers and providing students with authentic listening texts. In
addition, the paper also highlights the importance of awareness-raising on the differences
between spoken and written language among ASL learners. To expand the extant of the
scope of possible instructional ideas for ASL listening, the discussion on pre-teaching of
listening input and its connection to learners’ schemata is also included. To consolidate
the discussion on instructional ideas, communicative reciprocal listening instruction is
recommended for ASL listening instruction. Apart from instructional ideas, suggestions
on how to develop a ‘considerate’ ASL listening assessment that is in alignment with
classroom instruction are also presented in this paper |
