This paper discusses the development of a listening summary
cloze test which was initially devised in response to demands
from tertiary-level teachers in China for a notetaking and listening
test that would have a positive washback effect on their
teaching. The paper first considers the theoretical implications
underlying the development of an alternative testing format and
then describes the process of piloting the new test. The pilot was
carried out in two phases: initially in an EFL situation in China,
and later in an ESL situation in Hong Kong.
