IELTS 雅思考試 COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
As one of the most widely recognized English-language standardised tests worldwide, the IELTS assesses the proficiency of non-native English users aspiring to study, work, and live in English-speaking countries. The Academic Test offers higher education and professional registration applicants an opportunity to engage with academic and professional language, while the General Training Test equips people considering immigration to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom with the basic linguistic knowledge required to live in those countries.
This English course seeks to prepare students to take the IELTS as its objective, while also building fluency and flexibility through regular use of the language along the way. Designed to assess and improve skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking English; this course encourages students to become confident in their language abilities. No matter what purpose it is that students want to take the test for, all can benefit from a more comprehensive understanding of English grammar and their individual potential in language use.
