IELTSスピーキング 対策記事 2025年1-4月に試験を受験する人が押さえておきたいトピック

更新日:2025年1月4日

IELTSスピーキング試験に出題される問題は、長年にわたって年3回の入れ替え方式を採用してきました。具体的には、1-4月、5-8月、9-12月の3つの期間にわたって、それぞれの期間において出題されるトピックがある程度決まっており、毎年、1月、5月、9月にトピックの半分が新しいものに入れ替えられるという仕組みです。Part 2に関して言うと、概ね50問前後がリストとして用意され、試験官はそのリストの中の1問を受験生に出題するという形式でした。

しかし、ここ数年は、この方式に変更が加えられ、トピックは期間に関係なく不定期に入れ替えが行われるようになっています。ここに示すリストは、今期のスピーキング試験で出題される可能性が高いトピックをまとめたものですが、これらのトピックが出題されることを保証するものではありませんので、あくまで参考程度に留めておいてください。
