How can Road to IELTS help your learners?

Listening
In the Listening section, which includes academic and social listening activities, candidates have a few seconds at the beginning to look through the questions, and half a minute at the end to check answers, just like the exam.
Exam Tips
The number one objective of Road to IELTS is to prepare candidates for the exam. There is a detailed explanation of each question type and tips on how best to tackle the tasks. This means candidates are thoroughly prepared before they enter the exam hall.

Speaking
In the Speaking section, videos of candidates from different language backgrounds take the learner through each of the three stages of the test, providing models of good and less good practice. Learners really benefit, for example, from watching four clips of candidates introducing themselves in Part 1 of the test and analysing what works and what doesn't. While students are encouraged to learn by watching and questioning, there is also a conscious didactic element providing useful advice through exercises, quizzes and text screens.
Charts and tables
One of the challenges of IELTS preparation is enabling learners to interpret and describe charts and tables. Road to IELTS includes a wealth of these graphics and more than 70 exercises ranging from the use of active and passive, to dealing with numbers to topic sentences and organising a report.
