DOWNLOAD EBOOK →IELTS Target 4.5 is aimed at students wishing to take the IELTS exam while studying at pre-intermediate level. The course prepares for the IELTS General Training rather than IELTS Academic, as this is more appropriate at this level. Students wishing to go on to take IELTS Academic will develop a foundation for continuing their study. The course consists of three five-unit sections that take the student from a strong elementary to intermediate level. The earlier units focus on basic skills and basic language, such as sentence structure and spelling. By the end of the course, students will be working with input that is close to the level they will deal with in the exam. Exam tips are provided throughout the course to familiarize students with the various exam tasks and to provide advice on how to go about getting the highest score possible in the exam. Each unit consists of five modules: 1 Speaking and Vocabulary: This prepares students for the type of interaction they can expect with the examiner. The vocabulary selected is that most frequently encountered during the speaking exam. There are frequent reflective tasks that allow students to assess their progress. 2 Listening: These modules are divided into two parts. The first part engages students in a topic and pre-teaches key vocabulary, before focusing on a key skill or particular IELTS exam technique. The second part practises the skill. 3. Reading: As with the listening modules. 4 Writing: This deals with both parts of the writing exam, each unit focusing on a different writing skill or writing technique. There is a focus on guided writing, with model compositions for most writing tasks. 5 Consolidation and Exam Practice: The first part revises the speaking focus and vocabulary in the first module. The second part practises listening, reading or writing skills under something closer to exam conditions. The course also includes end-of-section review material, mock exams and an accompanying workbook.
