Fria's Sample Tests in Listening (English 111)

1. Sound Discrimination
Examples:

•  feat-fit
• sail-sale
• read-rid
• feel-fill
• seek-sick

II. Directions: Write the letter of the word that has a different vowel sound in each group. If all the words sound the same; write S. 

•  a. bat       b.  but  c. bat   _____
•  a. cup      b.  cup  c. cup  _____
•  a. dull     b. doll   c. dull _____
•  a. pick     b. peek   c. pick _____
•  a. rot       b. rot     c. rot   _____

III. The same can be used for discriminating consonant sounds like [p] and [f], [b] and [v], [s] and [z], etc.

Example ;

• watt-what
• heel-hill
• lust-last
• bat-vat
• dear-deer

For advance level learners, the words  may be used in the sentences which students will copy. Another way is asking students to identify from a group of pictures  one which is refereed  to by the teacher in her sentences using words of similar sounds. In this test, students are expected not only to rely on their listening skills but also on their comprehension and spelling skills.
 Example:

 Directions: On the paper, copy the following pairs of sentences:

• His cup is beautiful. His cap is beatiful.
• I want to fill the emptiness of his heart. I want to feel the emptiness of his heart.
• She loves to draw a fan. She loves to draw a man.
• The boy needs his cat. The boy needs his cot.

Thank you so much ma'am for the consideration. =D

God Bless!
