Listening Comprehension Practice From Your Own Material

Turn any text or transcript into listening exercises.

Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Create listening practice from a text I choose. Transcript or article in [TARGET_LANGUAGE]: [TEXT]. My level: [LEVEL]. How I will listen (text-to-speech, recording, native speaker reading): [LISTENING_METHOD].

Design a four-stage lesson: pre-listening vocabulary and prediction questions; first listening with three gist questions; second listening with eight detail questions of varied types (multiple choice, fill in the gap, true or false); and post-listening tasks (summarise, shadowing of two sentences). Provide the answer key separately and mark where the answers appear in the text. Add a list of connected-speech features that may cause difficulty, such as contractions or linking, with examples from the text. Provide a repeat schedule for hearing the same text again after one day, one week, and one month.

Add a variation for lower levels with slower playback and a gap-fill of key words, and a variation for higher levels with note-taking and a summary under a word limit. Include a short list of strategies for guessing unknown words from context and a record sheet to track my scores over time.

Optional: type your details and the prompt above updates. Nothing is saved or sent.

Replace each bracketed placeholder with your own details, then paste into Any AI or another assistant.

Level B1. Text: a 120-word news item about a bike lane.
Pre-listening: predict three words you expect (traffic, safety, cost). Vocabulary: "lane", "commuters".
First listening, gist: 1) What is being built? 2) Who objects? 3) What is the date?
Second listening, details (8): e.g. 4) How long is the lane? (a) 2 km (b) 5 km. 7) True or false: it opens in spring.
Answer key: separate, with the line number.
Connected speech: "going to" sounds like "gonna".
Post: shadow two sentences; summarise in 3 sentences.
Repeat after 1 day, 1 week, 1 month.
