Dictation in the style of IELTS Listening: names, numbers, dates and academic talks.
The IELTS Listening test has four parts: an everyday conversation, a monologue about a social topic, a discussion in an academic setting and a university lecture. These dictation exercises follow the same formats so you can train the exact skills the test measures — catching specific details, spelling them correctly and following longer talks.
Many IELTS answers are lost not because candidates did not understand, but because they wrote a word with the wrong spelling, missed a plural -s or confused numbers like 15 and 50. Dictation trains you to write exactly what you hear, which is precisely what the answer sheet requires.
Do one exercise a day. Work sentence by sentence, check every mistake and write down words you misspelled. Once a week, play a whole exercise without stopping to simulate the real test. For focused detail practice, add Numbers & Spelling; for longer academic listening, use the Advanced level.
No. They are original practice materials written in IELTS style. They are not affiliated with or endorsed by the IELTS partners.
Yes. An answer with incorrect spelling is marked wrong, which is why dictation practice is so effective for this test.
