Inglewood children talk about a tornado: Unit Standard 15009

Understand spoken information in a range of contexts, using ESOL 15009, version 4
 Level 3 5 Credits  

 

This unit standard has two elements:

Element 1 – you must show that you can listen to and understand information from two spoken texts on different topics from different individual speakers;

Element 2 – you must show that you can listen to and understand two interviews or exchanges on different topics.

Conditions

  • Parts of the spoken text may be repeated once on request.
  • Responses must be given without prompting.
  • Understanding may be demonstrated by oral or written response.
  • Written responses need not be grammatically correct, but errors must not interfere with meaning.

Teachers notes

These tasks have been pre-critiqued by a moderator of ESOL unit standards. It cannot be said that they have been moderated because they have not been through the formal NZQA moderation process.
