ACCENTS in IELTS Listening

IELTS Listening uses a variety of native English accents.
These are all English accents you can expect to hear in the IELTS Listening test. The ten samples are divided by region as follows:

Try to notice any differences in pronunciation. Vowel sounds are especially likely to differ. Don’t overanalyse! – that’s a job for a professional linguist. Your goal should be to get comfortable with each accent so that you aren’t surprised or distracted when you hear it in the IELTS test.

The full text of the story is further down the post. Each speaker also talks a little about his or her life after coming to the end of the story.

Is accent important in the IELTS speaking test?

Pronunciation is a key part of getting a high score in the speaking test. Therefore, it is natural for test-takers to worry about their accent and how it will affect their IELTS score.

However, pronunciation and accent are two different things.

There are several reasons reasons why your accent is NOT important in the IELTS speaking test (and why you shouldn’t waste your time worrying about it).
The main reason is simple: the examiner doesn’t judge you on your accent.

In the speaking test, you will be assessed on these four main criteria:

Fluency and Coherence
Lexical Resource
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
Pronunciation

The IELTS speaking marking scheme doesn’t once mention accent. As such, trying to perfect an unnatural American, English or Australian accent is a waste of the time that you should spend working on other areas that will improve your scores.
