Hi, Teacher Luke here! 👋

There’s a brand-new version of the Interactive Listening question on the Duolingo English Test.

And, a lot of students lose easy points because they don’t quite understand how it works.

So, what’s changed? Well, there are now 3 parts to this question type:

1. Part 1: Listen and Complete — Listen to a real-life scenario and fill in short answers (3–7 words)
2. Part 2: Listen and Respond — Participate in a real conversation with a professor or classmate and answer 5-6 questions
3. Part 3: Summarize the Conversation — Write a summary of the conversation in just 75 seconds! 😲

Tomorrow at 2 PM UK time, I’m running a full Interactive Listening Workshop inside DET Ready VIP to show you exactly how to ace this question and increase your score.

And good news — we’re now running our End of Summer Sale!
