Preparatory Course for IELTS Examination

 

General Information  

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is one that measures ability to communicate in English across all four language skills – listening, reading, writing and speaking – for people who intend to study or work where English is the language of communication. It is recognised by most UK, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand academic institutions. In the United States, it is also increasingly gaining recognition as an alternative to the Teaching of English as Foreign Language (TOEFL) test. Since 1989, IELTS has been proven and trusted worldwide to provide a secure, global, authentic and customer-focused test which measures true to life ability to communicate in English. Over 3800 educational institutions, government agencies and professional organisations across 120 countries around the world recognise IELTS scores as a trusted and valid indicator of ability to communicate in English. With over 500,000 tests taken every year, IELTS is one of the fastest growing English language tests in the world, and sets the standard in integrity, research and innovation.


Objectives  

This course will enhance accurate and appropriate letter writing, guide the planning, organizing and writing of an opinion essay, train reading and interpreting of a variety of text types at speed and completing various tasks such as matching, completing notes and multiple-choice questions, improve the performance of dealing with the sections of the listening paper and teach the proper way of tackling the speaking test. With that, students will only learn Standard English, good style and develop a deeper understanding of how English works. Becoming an active learner by speaking a lot of English and being much more confident in the language is another benefit resulted from the course. With our experienced teachers knowing students’ strengths and weaknesses through the various interactions in class, they will know how to assure that students stay focused and be better equipped to continue learning English on their own after the studies with us.
