Description
Insight into IELTS offers comprehensive preparation for the IELTS examination. It develops skills, language and familiarity with the test format for each paper progressively: exam-type exercises are a regular feature of the course, and it finishes with a complete practice test. It explores the exam thoroughly, paper by paper, and its flexible structure allows teachers or students working alone to pinpoint exactly aspects of the exam they most need to study. The course also prepares students for study abroad by introducing them to the types of communication tasks which they are likely to meet in an English speaking study environment. A separate section of supplementary material provides activities for use as homework or extra classroom practice. Insight into IELTS is equally suitable for use as a course book in the classroom or at home: a detailed introduction to the exam, together with a thorough answer key make it easy to use as self-study material.
