Listening Practice & Comprehension: Academic Discussions
Format: IELTS Section 3 — a three-person academic discussion, with a who-said-this speaker-matching task
Your device reads a short academic discussion aloud — students and a tutor planning a project, or choosing a dissertation topic. As you listen, work out which speaker said what, then answer two detail questions. Switch to Exam Mode when you're ready for a single, real-pace play.
