IELTS Listening Improvement Plan
期間: 3–4 weeks · 1日の学習時間: 1.5 h · 目標: listening +1.0
このプランが合う人
Your listening lags your other skills. The fix is not "more tests" — it is training the ear to decode connected speech. Dictation is the engine of this plan; tests measure the progress.
たった一つの原則
Dictation is brutal and it works: replay, write every word, check the transcript, list what you misheard. Twenty minutes daily rewires more than two passive tests.
学習ルート

Phase 1 — Decode (Weeks 1–2)
Daily dictation on Parts 1–2; learn the trap patterns (corrections, distractors, spelling).

毎日やること
Dictation drill: replay ONE section of a listening test you already sat, write down every word, then check yourself against the transcript. This trains the ear, not the memory→

Re-read yesterday's wrong answers: for each, say out loud WHY the right answer is right before checking the explanation

毎日の習慣
朝: Read one passage or transcript aloud for 10 minutes before anything else — mouth and ear before eyes.
寝る前: Before bed, review the words you collected today from wrong answers (5–10 minutes, no new material).
週ごとの自己チェック
- Dictation error count trending down?
- Which trap still catches you: corrections mid-sentence, plurals, spelling?
- Are you predicting answers before the audio starts?
