What kind of material: authentic, teacher-generated? Is the task a cloz procedure or a whole-text transcription? We were producing cloz procedure activities, linking Apple IIs to tape recorders (in the 80s). I am not sure you will be able to do this on Word, but smart dudes like Chris Jones will know better than I would. In scoring, are you going to score accents, since non-spelling issues are involved (key strokes)? How many times will students listen? Will they be scored the same whether they listen two or four times? TBob (ex-coach, and proud of it) Robert D.
