Introduction
The IELTS test is growing rapidly in popularity. It is a high-stakes test for entry to university courses for foreign speakers of English. It is an indicator of ability in English for immigration. It is increasingly an accepted test within countries of Asia to show general knowledge in English. Teachers of English are becoming more and more involved in preparing students for the IELTS test.
This qualification goes beyond the usual for teaching IELTS preparation; it brings in IELTS-related language error that you can expect in speaking and writing from Asian students and particularly from the Chinese language to English. The course has been built using the experience of teachers of English in Asia and of TESOL trainers in South East Asia.
The course aims to allow holders of TESOL/TEFL/CELTA qualifications to extend their knowledge of the IELTS test and to become confident deliverers of courses preparing students for the test, particularly to Asian native and non-native speakers of English.
