Link to a very useful TED talk with a set of questions that are modelled on the internal assessment in Listening. Trialled for two years and found to be an excellent preparation for assessment. PowerPoint is a teaching resource with key skills in Purpose/Audience, Language and Main Ideas. It has model answers to go over with pupils and an extra language question. Full talk and transcript can be found on the link.
