| Research Abstract |
Several tests of photograph-format questions were carried out in order to examine the students' levels of understanding at colleges of technology. The average accuracy rate of the students' performance on photograph-format reading tests was 66 percent, while the average accuracy rate on photograph-format listening tests was 80 percent. From these results we can derive the argument that students at colleges of technology understand the linguistic structures used in a photograph-format test and such tests provide feasible listening tasks for the students.
