The new TOEIC Listening Section has recordings in American, Canadian, British, and Australian accents. For most students the American and Canadian accents are easy. If you want to practice your listening skills while listening to British and Australian accents, try these websites:
For British English:
BBC Business English: This is an excellent online resource for business English learners. Lots of material here. Be sure to check out the “archive,” which is full of material from the past. Download some of the MP3 files and practice while you are on the bus or subway.
For Australian English:
ABC: The Australian Broadcasting Corporation. This is basically just a news site, but it can provide you with opportunities to listen to an Australian accent.
Happy studying!
