Preparing learners
Advice for teachers
The texts and tasks in the Listening paper reflect the variety of listening situations which 
learners at B1 level are expected to deal with. Teachers should ensure that learners are 
exposed to a range of listening situations and interactions.
The texts may include:
• conversations at home or between friends
 (Parts 1, 2)
• radio announcements
 (Parts 1, 3)
• parts of talks
 (Part 3)
• exchanges in shops 
(Part 1)
• informational talks or radio programmes 
(Part 3)
• interviews with questions from a radio presenter 
(Part 4)
• recorded messages
 (Parts 1, 3)
.
Also note the following:
• The recordings will contain a range of standard native-speaker accents. Learners should 
practise listening to a variety of accents.
• When selecting listening material, teachers can use the 
topics list
to help them identify 
suitable topics to use with learners.
• Teachers may find that the Inventory of functions, notions and communicative tasks 
in the 
language specifications
 helps them to identify different listening situations for 
learners to work with.
• Free teaching resources and lesson plans are available on the Cambridge English website.
