Dictation and the gap-filling listening test are tests used by one of the major certifications in Italian as a foreign language, CILS (Università per Stranieri, Siena). They are intended to assess listening ability at lower levels for a specific audience (cf. Appendix 1). We believe that the validity and reliability of both types of test are questionable: it is unclear precisely what they measure and it is by no means certain that different markers’ assessment of errors made by candidates will coincide.}, doi = {10.4467/20843917RC.13.011.2713}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/romanica-cracoviensia/article/il-dettato-e-il-dictocloze-sono-prove-valide-e-affidabili-per-valutare-la-comprensione-orale} }
