The provision of extra time (ET) is one of the most frequently granted access arrangements in second/additional language (L2) testing. This study investigated whether test takers use ET, provided in the form of pauses at pre-determined locations during the listening input, in digital listening tasks and what factors may affect their behaviour. The analysis of the responses of 86 adult L2 English speakers with literacy difficulties indicates that participants generally used ET, found ET useful and expressed positive views about ET provisions. A relationship between ET use and language- and task-related factors was also found, suggesting that both English proficiency level and type of task the participants completed may affect ET use.
