A
online course will help learners around the world gain the skills they need to
take the IELTS Academic test. Inside IELTS has been developed by IELTS in
collaboration with FutureLearn. It is being launched as part of IELTS’ ongoing
commitment to help students continue learning English during the global
restrictions caused by Covid-19.
Inside IELTS is available to
all learners who are not able to access regular classes, including refugees
studying with PADILEIA, a consortium set up to support refugee learners with
digital learning resources. The course is designed to help people learn the
skills they need for the IELTS Academic test, which is designed for people
applying for higher education or professional registration in an
English-speaking environment. IELTS is jointly owned by the British Council,
IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge Assessment English. The course covers
aspects of the test including the content and skills learners need to know to
improve their IELTS score. It also highlights how learners are assessed and the
type of tasks they will come across in the test.
‘We’re running the course to
help learners continue with their exam preparation in what are really
challenging times for the education sector’, said Christine Nuttall, Managing
Director IELTS at Cambridge Assessment English. ‘The course is really authentic
as it gives learners a flavour of the kinds of communication skills they will
need when studying for a degree course taught in English. We’re proud of the
fact that the course will also be supporting refugees who want to improve their
English as it’s a big help for them when accessing education or work. The
course will benefit anyone who is facing restrictions at the moment in what are
challenging times. We’re now working really hard with the IELTS partners to get
exam dates back on track to ensure that learners can take their tests as soon
as it becomes possible.’
