emergent Phases 1-2

simple authentic texts

Texts used for the listening task should be spoken multimodal texts. This means that the texts should have the spoken mode and other modes such as visual still images or visual moving images.

At the end of the emergent level, students should have been exposed to a wide variety of simple authentic spoken multimodal texts and be able to:

Level descriptors

Level	Descriptor	Specific indicators
0	The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors below.	—
1-2	identifies minimal stated information (facts and/or opinions) in simple authentic texts	Recognizes isolated words and phrases Identifies very basic explicit information Shows limited understanding of context May misunderstand main ideas
3-4	identifies some stated information (facts and/or opinions) in simple authentic texts	Identifies main ideas in familiar contexts Recognizes some supporting details Shows basic understanding of speaker's purpose Beginning to identify simple implied meanings
5-6	identifies most stated information (facts and/or opinions, and supporting details) in a variety of simple authentic texts	Clearly identifies main ideas and supporting details Understands implied meanings in familiar contexts Recognizes speaker's attitude and purpose Makes logical inferences from content
7-8	identifies explicit and implicit information (facts and/or opinions, and supporting details) in a wide variety of simple authentic texts	Comprehends subtle nuances and implications Identifies complex implicit information Understands cultural references and idiomatic expressions Makes sophisticated inferences across the text

Level descriptors

Level	Descriptor	Specific indicators
0	The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors below.	—
1-2	identifies minimal stated information (facts and/or opinions) in simple and some complex authentic texts	Handles more complex vocabulary Begins to process longer passages Shows improved inference skills Better understanding of abstract concepts
3-4	identifies some stated information (facts and/or opinions) in simple and some complex authentic texts	Processes complex information effectively Handles extended listening passages Makes good inferences Understands abstract and concrete concepts
5-6	identifies most stated information (facts and/or opinions, and supporting details) in simple and some complex authentic texts	Excellent processing of complex information Handles varied listening contexts Makes sophisticated inferences Masters abstract concept comprehension
7-8	identifies explicit and implicit information (facts and/or opinions, and supporting details) in simple and some complex authentic texts	Expert-level information processing Handles all listening contexts with ease Makes nuanced inferences Shows deep conceptual understanding

proficient Phases 5-6
