I love teaching for IELTS as I can make my classes more interactive.
Why teach IELTS?
By teaching IELTS you can help people develop the English language skills they need to achieve their dreams to live, work or study abroad. IELTS is the most popular test for those looking to migrate to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK with millions of tests taken each year.
IELTS scoring
IELTS results are scored on a scale 1-9. Results are given as an overall score on the IELTS scale, and broken down for each test section (Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking). The score that your students need to achieve will vary depending on the individual institution requirements.
Teaching resources
We are keen to support IELTS teachers to help their students achieve the success they deserve. That’s why we provide resources, materials, and interactive tools to help teach your students with confidence.
IELTS Morgan Terry Memorial IATEFL Scholarship
This scholarship recognises those who create learning resources to help IELTS candidates prepare for their tests.
The tests
We offer two IELTS tests. IELTS Academic is suited to those who will be entering a higher learning environment, whereas IELTS General Training focuses on a test taker’s proficiency in a practical, everyday context.
All IELTS formats include a face-to-face Speaking test with a qualified Examiner. We believe this approach allows institutions and employers to identify test takers who can communicate effectively in English.
