What is IELTS?
IELTS, which stands for International English Language Testing System, is a standardized test of English language proficiency for non-native English language speakers. It is designed to assess the language ability of candidates who need to study or work where English is the language of communication. IELTS is accepted by most Australian, British, Canadian, European, and New Zealand academic institutions, by over 3,000 academic institutions in the United States, and by various professional organizations across the world.
IELTS Speaking Test Overview
- Format:
The Speaking test is the same for both IELTS General and Academic tests, designed to evaluate your spoken English skills through a structured conversation lasting 11-14 minutes. This conversation is recorded and consists of three parts:
- Structure:
- Part 1: Introduction and interview
In this part you have to answer questions about yourself.
- Part 2: Individual Long Turn (Cue card)
In part 2 you have to speak on a specific topic.
- Part 3: Two way discussion
A discussion based on the topic introduced in Part 2.
- Assessment Criteria:
- The range and accuracy of your vocabulary.
- Your fluency and coherence in speaking.
- Your grammatical range and accuracy.
- How well you pronounce words.
Tips for Improving Your IELTS Speaking Skills
Here are some tips by SpeakInfinite to enhance your speaking abilities and effectively tackle the IELTS Speaking test.
- Instead of just saying ‘yes’ or ‘no’, expand on your responses to demonstrate a wider grasp of language and grammar.
- Make an effort to speak English with your friends, relatives, or practice by recording yourself, which will help build your pronunciation and boost your self-assurance.
- During the exam, maintain your composure; it’s your ability to communicate effectively that counts, not necessarily the views you share.
- When answering questions, try not to mirror the exact wording of the examiner. Aim to rephrase the questions in your own words.
- Aim for a steady speaking speed to minimize mistakes in pronunciation.
- To ensure clarity in your communication, keep your language straightforward yet don’t shy away from using complex vocabulary if you’re comfortable with it.
- Answer questions using the appropriate tense as indicated by the question to maintain grammatical accuracy.
- Emphasize clarity in presenting your thoughts over fretting about the correctness of your answers.
- Justify your responses with detailed explanations, utilizing a range of vocabulary and grammatical structures to enrich your answers.
