Instruction for listening test

You will be listening to 35 short utterances spoken by a female speaker. How natural does each of these utterances sound to you? Please evaluate the naturalness of these utterances using the scale from 1 (non-native like) to 7 (native-like). The quality of the sound may not be the same across these 35 utterances (e.g. noise), but please focus on how these utterances are pronounced. Please note that there is no right or wrong answer. Just follow your intuition.

In order to become used to the test, please listen to the following four sample utterances. Judge the naturalness of the utterances by choosing the appropriate number from 1 (non-native like)-7 (native-like). You can listen to the same utterance twice, but please make sure not to listen to it more than three times.

Q8.   Sample question 2:    (non-native like) 1  2  3  4  5  6  7 (native like)
