The problems with - and solutions to - conventional IELTS training in China. The International English Language Testing System, or IELTS as it is commonly known, is an almost ubiquitous acronym in the international ESL community. For many students, it is the last and most important English language exam they will ever take, the result of which can decide where they will go to university and in what program. A “band score” of 7 (out of a possible 9) on the Academic Exam will suffice for almost any undergraduate program in Canada, the US, the UK, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and South Africa, but as this score can be difficult to obtain without proper knowledge of the exam techniques, many test-takers miss the mark by under preparing. This has lead, in many countries, to the creation of a huge market for training centres and materials promising to “crack the code”, and help students achieve the required minimum to get into their desired program, at their desired school, in their desired foreign country. | Link in bio to read more of this great article by Will Greenblatt. | #ielts #efl #esl #canadatech #englishteacher #toefl #tesol #eslchina #esljapan #eslrussia #eslkorea #eslbrazil #english #eslteacher #eslmexico
