ESOL Skills for Life

Centres told us that they would like the assessors to play audio files for the Listening Task without needing a CD player. So, now, if you would prefer the assessors to play the audios from your classroom computer, this is possible. This is an alternative to using a CD player, not a replacement – if CDs are the most convenient option, then please continue to use them.

If you would like the assessor to play digital sound files - this is what you need to do:

 Arrange for the assessor to be able to access a computer/laptop with an internet connection. They may need a guest account.  Ensure that the sound quality and volume is satisfactory, and that the assessor can control the volume.

We suggest that you agree with the assessor before the session whether you will be using the digital option or CDs.
