IELTS Part Time Course

Pre IELTS & IELTS Preparation Course - 7.5 hours per Week - (EE75)

Course Outline

This course is designed for students who are preparing for the IELTS exam over an extended period of time.  It is most suitable for students who need the strategies and techniques for the IELTS exam but who also require additional input on grammar and vocabulary.  The course also improves your reading and listening skills which are essential for success at university in the UK.  You will develop your ability to skim and scan while reading and become familiar with note-taking from lectures and seminars.

The course is offered at 2 levels, Pre-IELTS Preparation and IELTS Preparation.  The courses have the same components but are graded to your level.

  • Pre-IELTS Preparation - Intermediate B1 level (IELTS 4.0 – 5.0)
  • IELTS Preparation - Upper Intermediate B2 level (IELTS 5.0 and above)

The IELTS Preparation 7.5 hours (EE75) comprise 7.5 hours per week study although additional self-directed study is highly recommended to aid success.

Class

The IELTS preparation component focuses on the essential skills necessary to pass the IELTS exam with the score you need. The class itself develops the techniques you need to improve your score but an essential part of the course is improving the skills you need to continue to enhance your techniques outside the classroom.

 

Testing and Assessment

You will be continually assessed on your performance in the classroom and be given at least one piece of written assessment per week. Homework is given on a daily basis but the most successful students invariably complete further independent study.

Tutorials are also carried out each month and are an opportunity to discuss academic goals, pastoral needs and level progression on a one-to-one basis with your tutor.

You can sit the IELTS exam all over the UK and the nearest test centres are Glasgow and Edinburgh.  Information on dates is available at Glasgow University or Basil Paterson Edinburgh.
