IELTS Reading and Listening tests

 

As with all IELTS tests, authentic academic and general contexts are a central feature of the Listening and Reading tests, and a range of native speaker accents are used to record the lectures and dialogues.

 

Research includes aspects relating to:

 

• tactics and strategies

• cognitive processes

• validity

• relationship of tasks to academic experiences.
