The IELTS Listening Module:
This module consists of four audio sections of increasing
difficulty. The listening module
includes a mix of monologues and dialogues.
The recording is played once only.
Sections 1 and 2 normally involves speakers talking about social
situations and needs. For example, there
may be a conversation between a university student and a landlord, or a
monologue about a city’s public transport system.
Sections 3 and 4 reflect
a more ‘educational ‘ context. For example, you may hear a group of students
discussing their lecture notes. Or you
may hear part of a lecturer’s talk on a given subject.
Your task is to answer questions as you listen to the
audio. For each section, you will hear a
announcer introducing the situation. You are then given a short period ( up to
30 seconds) to read through the questions for that section. As the conversation or monologue proceeds,
work through the questions. When the section
finishes, you will be given an additional 30 seconds to check your work.
In the actual IELTS test, you are permitted to write your
answers on the question paper. At the
end of Section 4 of the Listening Module,
you will be asked to transfer your answers from question paper to an answer
sheet. You will be given about ten
minutes to transfer your answers.
There are several types of questions you can expect in the
Listening Module.

Short answer

Labelling a diagram / plan / map
