Make sure your students don’t give memorised answers or try to prepare their answer before the test, remind them to remain confident and relaxed.

Top Tips for Teaching IELTS from the authors of The Complete Guide To IELTS

IELTS Scoring

Be sure your students are familiar with the format of the test; encourage them to have a clear ‘map’ of the test in their mind.

Highlight the importance of reading the questions carefully - encourage your students to try to predict what kind of information they will need to answer the questions.

Reassure students that they do not need to understand every detail and it doesn’t matter if there are words they are not familiar with.

Don’t begin writing immediately! Train your students to always organise their thoughts and make notes before beginning to write.

Prepare your students with practice tests under exam-like conditions, following the time limits for each section of the test.

General Tips

Speaking Tips

Encourage students not to give short answers to questions or respond with a simple yes or no but to give details and examples when they speak.

Reading Tips

Familiarise your students with the format of the many question types and make sure they understand the importance of reading the instructions for each set of questions carefully.

Listening Tips

Spelling counts! Remind your students that when transferring their answers to the answer sheet they should check their spelling carefully.

Writing Tips

Ensure students know not to copy long phrases or sentences from the writing prompt but to use their own words.

TASK TYPE 1 Identifying Information (True/False/Not Given)

Caption TBC

C Tips and tactics3 Work in pairs. Read the tips and tactics and discuss these questions.

a Which tips and tactics do you think are the most useful?b Did you use any of these tips and tactics when you answered the sample questions in Section B? c Which tips will you use in the future?

1 Before you read the passage, read the statements and think about what you’re going to read. Underline key words and ideas in each statement.

2 Remember that the questions follow the order of information in the passage. When you read the passage, you may see some words or ideas from the statements. These help you to find the relevant sections.

3 First read the passage quickly and mark the relevant sections for each question. Write the question numbers in the margin so that you can find the sections again easily.

4 Questions for which the answer is NOT GIVEN also refer to a specific section of text – so you always need to find the relevant section.

5 Then go through the questions one by one. Read the section of the passage you have marked carefully to make sure you’re in the correct place.

6 Don’t use your own knowledge of the subject to decide the answers. Use ONLY the information in the passage.

7 If you think the answer is TRUE, re-read both the statement and the section of passage carefully and think about the meaning of both. Does the wording of the statement express exactly the same ideas or not?

8 If you think the answer is FALSE, re-read both the statement and the section of passage carefully and think about the meaning of both. Underline the words that make the statement different from the passage.

9 For TRUE and FALSE answers, quickly check the rest of the paragraph in the passage to make sure you haven’t missed anything.

10 If you think the answer is NOT GIVEN, underline the words and ideas in the statement that aren’t in the passage. Read the rest of the paragraph in the passage quickly to make sure you haven’t missed anything.

11 It’s especially important to check carefully whether an answer is FALSE or NOT GIVEN.12 Remember to write the words TRUE, FALSE or NOT GIVEN in the boxes on the answer

sheet.13 Never leave a box empty. If you’re not sure, always give an answer.

D Skills-building exercises4 Read the pairs of statements (1–6). Underline the important words and ideas in each

statement.

5 Read the passage on page 79 quickly. Underline the sentences that contain the information relevant to each pair of statements in Exercise 4.

6 Go through the questions in Exercise 4 one by one. Read the passage carefully and decide which statement (A or B) is TRUE and which is FALSE.

Each level comes with two audio CDs and a pin code which allows access to MyPG for extensive additional online practice for use at home or in self-access centres.

Each level of Practical Grammar is available in two editions: with or without answers.
