Tasks have been used as an instrument to measure comprehension ability in reading and listening. In the tasks, test-takers are told to write everything they remember about the passage(s) they read or heard Tasks are considered to have the potential to clarify the comprehension process. At the same time, tasks have been criticized as being merely a test of memory ability. A multiple-choice task and a free written recall task were administered to 25 Japanese learners of English. Results showed a high correlation coefficient between the two tasks, and in addition, the free written recall task revealed a variety of listening processes, suggesting that the free written recall task is a useful tool as a test of listening comprehension ability., Article, JABAET Journal. 9:49-62 (2005)}, pages = {49--62}, title = {An examination of free written recall tasks as listening comprehension tests}, volume = {9}, year = {2005} }
