Here’s a new video that summarizes all of the coming adjustments to the Duolingo English Test. It describes the “interactive speaking” question I wrote about on Monday and also notes that:
- A “listen and complete” task will be added to the beginning of the “interactive listening” task.
- The “Read aloud” and “listen then speak” tasks will be removed.
- Minimum speaking and writing times will be removed from some of the longer speaking and writing tasks. Test takers can move along whenever they feel they’ve completed the tasks.
UPDATE: More complete descriptions have been added to the DET Help Center.
