Functional Listening 1.2

The Functional Listening app presents a series of practical listening exercises designed to reflect real-world scenarios encountered in settings such as stores, doctor's offices, and schools. This resource is particularly beneficial in clinical contexts, where it can assist individuals facing challenges in language comprehension attributed to receptive language disorders, Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), strokes, or cognitive deficits. Additionally, it serves as a valuable tool for second language learners (ESL) aiming to enhance their understanding of English.

Featuring over 100 audio exercises, the app encompasses a variety of categories, including:

• Listening to phone messages
• Listening to news broadcasts
• Listening to daily announcements
• Listening to messages from schools
• Listening to communications from medical providers
• Listening to how-to instructions and manuals

Each listening exercise culminates in a comprehension quiz, allowing users to assess their understanding of the material presented.

The Functional Listening app is user-friendly and incorporates several features to enhance the learning experience. Users can:

• Input multiple student profiles
• Adjust settings and utilize randomization for varied practice
• Enable auto-scoring for efficiency
• Select alternate counts for simultaneous users
• Choose from different types of background noise to simulate real-world conditions
• Delay the presentation of auditory stimuli for tailored pacing
• Track correct and incorrect responses for performance analysis
• Email results at the conclusion of a session for further review
