Focus on meaning
• Use vocabulary and grammar that the students already know.
• The object is to measure the student’s understanding of a particular sentence or short dialogue.
Keep the option simple
• The options are simple and brief, the students have to keep the stem in their memory
• We can use three options, and keep these brief so the students won’t become confused.
Learn to adjust the difficulty of the items
• We can take the items easier or more difficult.
• There are interesting ways to make an item more difficult.

It has not to be taken from a reading.Teachers have to use original tapes of actual lectures.
Three or four lecturettes of 3 to 5 minutes
Lecturette
To keep in Mind:- Students should take notes while listening.- Lectures should not be in favour of one Group of students.-Questions should not permit to get answersRight simpl by calling upon logic or generalKnowledge.
Texts- Radio- TV Commercials- Excerpts from
radio dramas- Extended social
conversations- Telephone calls- Routine Business
transactions.
To keep in mind:
-Students do not have to take notes.-Questions should avoid asking about small details.-Questions are kept short, with fairly simple vocabulary.-Passages should be spoken at Normal speed.-Tow or more speakers must be usedFor conversation passages.- Multiple choice tasks and completion- Are useful tasks to develop in these tests.
