The IELTS course aims to provide students with the knowledge and practical skills required to successfully prepare to take the IELTS Academic or General Test. IELTS, which stands for International English Language Testing System, is a globally- recognized test of English language proficiency. It is a popular choice for students wishing to study at a university in an English- speaking country. The IELTS course offers a comprehensive introduction to the IELTS test, with over 80 hours of interactive practice materials. Like the test itself, course content is organized into the four main skill areas: Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing. Each section of this course includes engaging multimedia presentations reviewing key test-taking skills, strategies and techniques. In each of the four test areas, course participants will be given information about the format of the test, as well as advice about the skills and strategies that will be useful when taking the test. Interactive practice activities are provided so that participants can practise those skills and strategies in order to feel better prepared for the IELTS test. Realistic IELTS-style practice test materials give course participants the chance to test their skills and get a taste of what it is like to take the IELTS test. The course features an extensive bank of video and audio resources which are used to support the learning program.
