About this course

The Listening section of the test requires test takers to understand texts in spoken English and respond to prompts in real time under timed conditions. Recordings are played once only to reflect how we listen in real life. In this module, you will be introduced to the Listening section of PTE Academic and the skills that are tested. Teachers must understand the eight item types in this section of the test and the basic instructions learners must know to complete tasks. You will also revisit some of the key features of detailed listening and the importance of attitude and tone.
