Abstract

A test-taker’s performance in a listening comprehension test is seen to be a function of at least two variables: his or her listening comprehension ability and the test method. To know how this trait-method unit works, it is necessary to look into the test-taking processes of test-takers. Accordingly, employing an immediate retrospective verbal report procedure, a study was conducted among Chinese EFL test-takers. The test format investigated was multiple-choice. The results identified the subjects’ listening processes leading to comprehension and comprehension breakdowns and captured the effect of the multiple-choice format on the subjects’ test performance. The immediate retrospection research methodology as applied to the test of listening comprehension was explored.
