If they are really weak, you could provide the choices for them to fill in.
If they are young, I �d go with pics.

you could do true/false, multiple choice questions, who said what, etc.
Yes, it would still be a while-listening activity if you gave them a transcript with missing information for them to fill in, but not a classic listening comprehension test, I guess:)
It depends on the audio.

I �ve just been through a mixed Oral Comprehension with my  3e, most of them not very strong in English ( 4th year of English + initiation in lower classes)
Well: they managed the best..... filling in part !!!! They had to fill in words, learnt in Vocab part of the lesson. It gave them back quite a bit of self esteem  ;o)) 
 
If you want to share exos like that: could you please give links /transcript to the audio?
 
- Can �t share this one I mentioned: it �s �right from the book � ... editors don �t share.  ;o)
(but for French teachers, who might have the book, it �s from �New Live 3e � Unit 2 Bullying.)

well, I have an article uttered by leo di caprio on global issues- around 4 minutes- after tehy listem they answer some questions to check comprehension- my question was -if the activity is still considered listening as long as I give them the words- with some missing ( 10 words-also given) - pls take into account the textis quite difficult-)
