The authors conclude: "Learner-centered learning and assessment are attracting increasing attention among researchers and educators. The ALSA can be adopted into learner-centered curricula, especially in university contexts. Because its underlying structure fits the constituent structure of academic listening, we believe the ALSA has the potential to raise university students´ awareness of their general listening skills, and of the elements of academic presentations that affect their academic achievement, such as their note-takings skills.
This can allow students
- ´take full account´ of their own assessment
- encourage teaching practices that develop lecture comprehension skills
- and improve university awareness of weak and strong lecture comprehension skills
The ALSA is also well-suited to virtual educational environments, and can help improve independent learning and assessment in these environments. It can help transfer some assessment responsibilities of teachers to students ..."
