Course programme
IELTS Small Group Weekly
This is a 10 week course designed to prepare you for taking - or re-taking - your IELTS exam.
IELTS Small Group Weekly is - as the name suggests - a small group course, meeting for two hours a week, where you will be working on a group basis with others of a similar ability, so we design the course at a level which best suits your needs.
A Small Group Course
Before you start, we will carry out an individual assessment, free of charge. We will start by discussing your targets and goals, both generally and relating to the IELTS exams.
Then we use diagnostic tests to identify your strengths and weaknesses: in all areas - speaking, listening, reading and writing.
Using this information for all our students, we design your small group IELTS programme. We have done this for a lot of students and we know that this approach works well and that our students go on to get the results they want and deserve.
Typical Lesson
A typical lesson might start with some work on pronunciation and speaking - getting your tongue and ear tuned-in to working in English.
We might then move on to working with a vocabulary extension exercise or work on idiomatic English to widen your knowledge of the unusual and difficult phrases which so often cause problems for overseas learners of English.
We might well be working from one of our suite of IELTS books, so will usually go over the unit from the book that you have prepared for homework - discussing any difficulties you have had or areas of weakness that need clarifying.
Depending on the length of the lesson, we might close with a dicussion of a piece of topical journalism from a range of papers, or work on an apsect of grammar which we have agreed earlier.
Course Materials
For this course, we would use the the Focus on IELTS series of books, complemented by the Cambridge Grammar for IELTS and the IELTS Practice Tests series.
We use our own materials folders for work on pronunciation, comprehension and basic grammar teaching, for which there is no charge.
You will be informed of which books you should buy when you sign-up for the course.
Opening Doors
IELTS opens so many doors for a student or professional wanting to succeed. IELTS Small Group Weekly is simply a great way of learning and preparing for your IELTS exam.
