In our Essential English IELTS program, we assign students learning content and resources that can be accessed outside of class time, so they can develop an independent study habit. Research has proven that these study habits significantly increase the speed of language progression.

Our teachers focus course activities on tasks directly related to the IELTS test and provide constant and targeted feedback to help each student reach their personal goals. We understand the importance of teacher-student feedback and analyse IELTS assessments to improve the learning experience.

We offer dynamic assessment throughout the course, using IELTS tests as tools for learning to establish a teacher-student feedback literacy. Tests are always deconstructed and analysed through a comprehensive feedback process that results in further learning.

Throughout the program, test scores are provided immediately to learners. For example, our teachers offer detailed and personalised feedback by discussing with students what they were thinking and what they intended from particular responses.

The program uses task-based language teaching and dynamic assessment approaches to give learners many opportunities to engage with authentic IELTS tasks and employ their critical and independent thinking skills. With this level of personalised feedback, students can strengthen their ability to come up with relevant ideas that address common IELTS topics effectively.

To help students build on their vocabulary, our skilled teachers introduce new words every week that have been identified through rigorous research as the most common words in any academic context. Developing highly natural language is also important and our students are continuously taught idiomatic language for a more thorough understanding of vocabulary.
