IELTS Shadowing Practice with an American Accent

IELTS accepts any clear accent, and the Listening test mixes British, Australian and North American voices. If American English is the model you learn from, this collection keeps your practice consistent: IELTS-style interviews, talks and opinion answers, all from speakers with an American accent, with the full R sound and the soft T in words like water and better.

Shadow sentence by sentence and match the speaker's pace before you add speed. Practise at B2 for band 6 to 7 and C1 for higher bands. Browse all IELTS videos, the whole American accent collection, or read the IELTS speaking practice guide. To train your ear for UK speakers, switch to IELTS with a British accent.
