Test takers may hear accents from the United Kingdom, New Zealand or Australia.

Test takers may hear accents from the United Kingdom, New Zealand or Australia. ETS is adding these accents to better reflect the variety of native English accents test takers may encounter while studying abroad. Below is an example similar to what test takers might hear in the Speaking and Listening sections. Listen to a talk about the development of the printing press (MP3). The lecturer is from Great Britain.
