How is Listening and Speaking integrated into the NYS ELA CST?

Listening and Speaking in the NYS ELA CST are assessed through performance-based tasks that require students to listen, speak, and respond in authentic, standards-aligned ways. Students engage in collaborative conversations with peers and teachers, exchanging ideas, asking for clarification, building on others’ contributions, and using evidence from texts to support points. They also plan and deliver presentations that organize ideas clearly, explain claims, and adapt language and delivery to the audience and purpose. Listening tasks are woven in as students follow directions, identify main ideas and details, and evaluate arguments in discussions and presentations. This approach keeps the focus on active communication and reasoning, not just reading or memorization.
