IELTS -
International English Language Testing System
The IELTS is an exam that is primarily used by those seeking an
international education. It is internationally recognised and usually
required for entrance to British, Australian and Canadian universities.
Importantly, it also helps students learn and practise the study
techniques that will enable them to succeed at university.
The course covers
the following aspects:
Reading:
You will learn how to deal with the dense reading texts that you will
encounter in the exam. There will be practice of skills such as skimming
and scanning that will help you to find the information you are looking
for more quickly.
Writing:
You will learn vocabulary to help you describe data in Task 1 of the
writing exam. To prepare you for Task 2 of the written exam, you will
study how to write an academic essay and to improve your ability to
explain and organise your ideas.
Listening:
You will practise listening to a variety of subjects and learn how to
answer the different types of questions in the listening section. You
will also work on techniques to help you maximize your score in this
part of the exam.
Speaking:
You will practice speaking in detail about your personal
experiences. You will also practice speaking about issues affecting the
modern world and develop your ability to explain and justify your
opinions on these matters.
The BTI offers a three week and a nine week preparation course:
During the three week IELTS course you will learn strategies to
help you do your best in the exam. This is an intensive course, where
you will work on the skills tested in the exam. This course is

technique.
During the nine week IELTS course you will learn exam techniques
and strategies. You will study topics related to the themes of the IELTS
exam. The four skills - reading, writing, speaking and listening - will
