Section 2: Social Monologue

One person speaking about a non-academic topic (e.g., a speech about local facilities, tourist information).

Section 3: Academic Discussion

A conversation between up to four people in an educational or training context (e.g., university tutorial, group project).

Section 4: Academic Monologue

One person giving a lecture or talk on an academic subject (e.g., university lecture, presentation).
