PhonePass Test
It elicits computer-assisted oral production over a
telephone. Test-takers read aloud, repeat
sentences, say words, and answer questions.
Test-takers hear :
• Tell me he went home.
• Tell me that like rock music.
• Tell me that you aren’t interested in tennis.
Read-Aloud tasks
• This technique is easily administered by
selecting a passage that incorporates test
specs and by recording the test-takers’
output.
First, test-takers are given time to read through the dialogue to get its
gist (main point), then the tape/teacher produces one part orally and
the test-taker responds.
Example:
Salesperson : May I help you
