Course description

The IELTS program builds English grammar and vocabulary in the key tasks and topic areas that come up on the IELTS test.

The program integrates all four parts of the IELTS test: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. This course prepares students for either the Academic or the General IELTS exam.

The intensive test practice component builds student familiarity with the format of the test and provides them with the opportunity to practice a range of test-taking strategies within given time limits. Teachers also give critical tips and strategies for improving their IELTS band score.

The exam practice will provide ongoing feedback about students' progress towards mastery of the target skills.
