This intensive 6-weeks course enables students to acquire English language proficiency in preparation for the IELTS examination. The comprehensive and academically rigorous course puts equal weight on reading, writing, listening, speaking, and test-taking strategies. It focuses on the four language skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing while supporting each skills-based lesson with activities designed to enhance vocabulary and grammar language systems. In addition, the class focuses on providing students with the skills required to address the questions and tasks accurately and efficiently. In addition to the contact hours in the classroom, students do several hours of practice tests outside of teaching.
