Authentic broadcast listening and synthesis develops combining gist, detail and stance from unsimplified audio. Learners listen or read for meaning, communicate flexibly, repair misunderstandings, interpret register and cultural choices, and use evidence to plan continued independent growth.
Example
A strong authentic broadcast listening and synthesis response is coherent and context-appropriate, responds to another person or authentic text, sustains meaning despite uncertainty and avoids treating a culture or language as uniform.
Key terms
Synthesis:
