What is IELTS?

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is an English proficiency exam used to measure the English skills of candidates looking to work or study in an English-speaking environment.
For more information

The IELTS exam is recognized by professional organizations, academic institutions, employers, and government agencies around the world. IELTS is accepted by many Australian, British, American, Canadian, Irish, New Zealand and South African institutions and organizations. IELTS can also be used as proof of your language ability for immigration purposes.

IELTS Content

IELTS is a test of the four main writing skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. It focuses on an international form of English and features a variety of accents and writing styles, such as British English and American English, as well as others.

About IELTS Scores

There is no passing or failing grade on the IELTS exam. You will receive a score from 1 to 9 on each exam section, and the four section scores together will give you an Overall Band Score. Test Report Forms are posted 13 days after your completion of the test.

Tips & Tricks for Top Exam Performance

Anyone planning on taking the IELTS exam should be made well – aware of the fact that knowing the material is only half the job of preparation – knowing IELTS form is the other half.

SPEAKING

- Make sure the examiner isn’t speaking more than you are. - Get your ideas across effectively. - There’s nothing wrong with asking the examiner to clarify a point. - Speak as naturally as you can; do not simply memorize model answers. - Try to give well-developed answers, not short simple ones.

WRITING

- A well-organized essay will be a well-read one. Make it look nice. - Stay on topic by always referring back to the question. - Keep your language proper and formal. - Avoid repetition of ideas - Always leave enough time for revision and editing.

READING

- Manage your time well. Do not spend too much time on one question. - Guess the meaning of words you don’t know from the context. - Remember - all the answers are in the passage. - Pay attention to the organization of the paragraphs. - The best way to prepare for reading is simply by reading - train your eye.

LISTENING

- Read the instructions thoroughly before jumping to the answers. - Never leave any question unanswered. - Pay careful attention to your spelling. - Train yourself to read, write, and listen at the same time. - Try and predict what the speaker will say before it is said.

How can I improve my Writing score?

It is vital to fulfil the Writing task, especially Task 2, in order to demonstrate your skills. Writing Task 2 is worth twice as many marks as Task 1. 25 percent of the Writing score for Task 2 (GT and Academic) is based on the completeness of the response. Make sure you respond to all parts of the task. This criterion is referred to as “Task Response”. If all parts of the Writing Task 2 are addressed, a person will score band 6 or higher for this quarter of their Task 2 score. If the task is not fully addressed, an examiner must award less than band 6 for this criterion. So responding to every individual part of a Writing task is very important. The remaining 75 percent of the score for Task 2 in Writing is based on vocabulary, accurate grammar and the structure and linking of ideas.

At MLC all the great academic activities really helped me to improve my Arabic and enjoy my time in Jordan.

My trip to Jordan was the first tie I had traveled alone. I was very nervous, but on my first day the excellent staff made me feel as if I were at home with my family.

When I joined MLC I didn’t know a word of English. After 6 months of studying here I scored 7 in IELTS!

MLC is a professional center when it comes to teaching English. The teachers are highly qualified and friendly. My English has improved a lot and I even have passed the TOEFL exam with a very good mark thanks to the intensive courses at the center. The classes, the people, the atmosphere, everything is just wonderful. I highly recommend this center simply because it’s the best!

Charlotte James

Former student at MLC

I was extremely impressed with the town, the teachers and the people I met. I would love to go back. The most useful thing was communicating only in Arabic throughout the whole stay – socializing with friends that were made outside classes was also in Arabic.
