SECTION TWO-LISTENING
The listening section will include a text with upper-intermediate level and multiple choices assessing your
listening ability.
SECTION THREE-READING
Read the passages below and answer the questions accordingly.
Being aware of the difficulties in English pronunciation does not necessarily lead to the production of
intelligible English speech. Speech production is, to a large extent, automatic. In the acquisition process of
an L1, the articulation of individual segments as well as their combination become less controlled and more
automatic. However, in learning an L2, some of our ‘automated’ speech production skills of L1 will have to
adjust accordingly, and modifying these skills can be as difficult as acquiring new ones. This always requires
a lot of conscious effort in the beginning. Consciously monitoring one’s own speech is a useful strategy in
learning a new sound system. The target is to achieve fluency. To achieve fluency in an L2, paradoxically, is
to minimize the effort to consciously control one’s production and to maximize automaticity. The initial effort
for L2 learners to consciously control their speech production is generally derived from declarative
knowledge imparted to them by their teachers. This is a necessary and important stage because they need
to practice these skills so as to ‘automatize’ them to achieve fluency. These developmental stages can be
reflected from the discrepancy in learners’ performance in different tasks. Most English teachers have
experienced frustration over the fact that students who are able to produce perfect pronunciation in minimal
pair drills often fail to reproduce those exact same words in natural spontaneous speech. In minimal pair
drills, students have made use of their declarative knowledge to exercise full conscious ‘control’ over their
speech production. However, natural spontaneous speech production requires highly automatic processing.
For learners who are still in the stage of ‘conscious control,’ errors may seem inevitable.
1. Which of the followings is not stated in the passage?
A) Having the knowledge of something does not guarantee the performance.
B) Oral output, whether in L1 or in L2, is mostly mechanized.
C) Speech production becomes more automatic when consciously controlled.
D) Students’ tendency to consciously control their production mostly results from teachers’ instructions.
2. As it is clearly stated by the author, the majority of English teachers develop a sense of resentment…..
A) upon seeing the discrepancy between their students’ performance in mechanical drills and in natural
speech production.
B) when they discover the difficulties in English sound system.
C) if the students produce perfect speech sounds in minimal pair activities.
D) as long as they realize that some of the errors committed by the students stem from their applications.
3. Which of the followings is the main purpose of the author?
A) to draw attention the differences between L1 and L2 sound systems
B) to focus on some issues regarding pronunciation, which seems paradoxical
C) to encourage students become more automatized in speech production
D) to remind teachers that their instructions may lead induced errors in interactions
