Overview

In this course, we will be working through examples of good and great responses to each of the speaking tasks, and unpacking them with you so that you can understand how to achieve your desired score.

Throughout the course, there will be frequent opportunities to interact with other learners and practise your fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation skills.

You will also learn how to self-assess your own responses and identify what you need to continue to work on so that you can be successful in your IELTS Speaking test.

We will show you what an examiner is looking for when they assess your response, and help you to develop techniques and strategies to improve your performance in each part of the Speaking test.
