Hi everyone,
Duolingo English Test continues to fascinate us with innovations and renovations:)) In 2022, there were a couple of updates to DET. In 2023, we faced several more changes to Duolingo. Now, in 2024, the Duolingo team keeps up producing more and more updates – as they claim, they are intended at improving testing precision and accuracy. Well, I think we should better believe them since anyway we have no choice).
From April 2nd, 2024, we as test takers, will have two new tasks and one modified tasks.
The first new task is DET Interactive Writing. The essence is very simple: now you will have to write not just one 5 minute essay, but this very 5 minute essay plus the follow-up 3 minute essay on the topic related to the first topic. So, we have to write two essays in 8 minutes overall. I will soon post a video on my YouTube channel where I will take the whole DET practice test with comments. You will see all the changes.
The second new task resembles Read and Complete, but you will have to complete one word in a sentence with several letters depending on the context.
The third renovated task is Read and Select. I think the gist stays the same – you just see not all 15-18 words in one set, but one word at a time, deciding if this one word exists in the modern English language. I guess this new tasks calls for the same skills as the good old DET Read and Select.
