IELTS Speaking: Improve your Language for Bands 7.0+
IELTS Speaking: Improve your Language for Bands 7.0+
This IELTS Speaking course by a former IELTS examiner and a native speaker of English will help you prepare for the IELTS Speaking exam for both General and Academic by teaching you complex words and phrases. Even good speakers of English often fail to get high band scores because they are not using the language the IELTS examiner needs to hear to give you a high band score.
This course teaches you complex lexical resource and useful grammatical structures that are essential for getting a high band score in the IELTS Speaking exam. As a former IELTS examiner, based on my experience, these are the areas that you need to focus on to get a high band score.
This course includes:
-
The Essentials section with 50-page downloadable PDF that covers lexical resource, grammatical range and phrases for structuring your answers
-
A huge selection of Part 1 and 2 videos that will help to expand your lexical resource
-
Over 40 hours of video lessons – you don’t need to watch them all, you can choose to do as much or as little as you like.
-
Downloadable resources
-
Lots of quizzes
Please note:
There are hundreds of videos on the course already and new videos for current topics will NOT be added. This is not a subscription course. This is a course to prepare with enough complex language to be able to answer lots of questions during the IELTS Speaking test.
