Abstract

“International English Examinations Practice” course is a specialized highly intensive program designed to give students insight into the IELTS Academic testing system. The program focuses on four parts of the exam which are Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking and explains aim and format of every task included in the IELTS Academic Exam. The course highlights crucial tips and ready-to-use techniques to keep in mind during the examination. It also draws attention to common mistakes and pitfalls hampering test takers from gaining higher IELTS scores. The program blends theory and practice, though practice prevails. Students are offered to scrutinize printed materials, peruse online learning resources as well as fulfill numerous exercises both in class and at home and thus familiarize themselves with subtleties of the IELTS testing system. The grammar and vocabulary revision materials included in the course are aimed at the score of 7.5 and higher of the 9-band IELTS scale – the results normally expected by the admissions of the top-notch Bachelor and Master courses taught entirely in English in Russia and abroad. The program is built to help students perform their best on the IELTS Academic exam though the final results are entirely conditioned by the eagerness, determination and involvement of each individual student.
