IELTS - Academic writing tips and Information
The IELTS Academic writing module of the IELTS test consists of two activities: Task 1 and Task 2.
IELTS candidates are given 60 minutes to complete both tasks. The writing tasks are on a variety of subjects and are
chosen for their suitability for candidates entering university,
In Writing Task 1, IELTS candidates are asked to describe information that is usually presented in the form of a graph,
table or diagram. They must write at least 150 words and the writing task should be done in 20 minutes. Task 1 test
students' ability to interpret graphic data - diagrams and graphs - and describe and explain. Students are given
graphic or pictorial information and have to write a description of this information. Usually bar charts, line graphs, pie
charts and tables are given for this task. However, an object, or series of pictures or diagrams, or a flow chart which
needs to be described may also be presented. Students may also need to describe a process or explain how
something works.

Vocabulary - Some students try to improve their speaking score by using difficult words. However, using words
incorrectly will LOWER your score! Avoid using difficult words or expressions unless you are sure of how to use them.
Sentence Structure - Using better sentences is the best way to improve your speaking score in a short time,
because using better sentences is how we COMMUNICATE.
Fluency and Coherence - Of course fluency is very important but it is useless if you are not understood (if you are
not "coherent"). You do NOT have to speak quickly, but too many hesitations are bad.
TEACHING STRATEGY
Our company teacher should focus on teaching IELTS for only two sections, these are writing test and speaking test.
1. Teacher can divide and make schedule for everyday topic, like you should teach the students how to answer and
write appropriately, It’ll better if you let them practicing their speaking ability in a limited time like in real
examination, as well as teaching them how to write accurately
2. Teacher should teach the student about answering properly Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You can have
conversation on them, correcting and giving suggestion for the best answer. On Tuesday and Thursday
application of learning should be done, whatever the students learn from your previous topic, he or she should
apply it especially on conversation.
3. Typing or chatting is very important. Teacher should type all the corrections.
Wrong sentences= right sentences. Usually the students review all their mistakes and compare them into right
ones.
There are a lot of ways on how you can correct your student, first, listen to the student’s answer let them express
their opinions, while listening teacher can type all the mistakes that their students committed as well as the correct
sentences, after that they can explain and let the student read the correct sentence. Teacher can emphasize and
discuss the correction after the student’s answer. Another way is that, teacher can emphasize and discuss before the
end of the lesson. Each teacher has its own strategy just do something that you think it’ll be easier for you.
4. Teacher should teach the pattern of answering question specially on speaking test, in writing test. As you can see
above there’s different score or band scale given to the candidates, you can also give them score for their everyday
performance, teacher should explain how the students can obtain a high score based on the result of examination.
You should also be aware of the time limit and let them do and practice like in real examination so they will be
familiarized on the nature of exam.
4. IELTS Speaking Test consists of 3 parts; first part is about candidate’s background and information.( familiar
topic) teacher should teach them to answer basic question within the time limit. Most of questions are wh
questions (what, why, when, where, how).
Part 2 and 3 are about candidate’s experience general question, the question requires the candidates to describe a
certain thing like place, person, things and others. In this type of test there’s a corresponding pattern wherein
teacher should teach the appropriate answer through pattern.
The IELTS Academic Speaking Test is the same for both the Academic and General Training modules. The
test is conducted with 1 examiner and 1 candidate. The Speaking test is recorded. The Speaking Test is
divided into 3 sections:
Section 1 Section 1 begins with some general introductory questions. This is followed by some questions
on personal information similar to the type of questions one would ask when meeting someone for the
first time. Finally the examiner asks a series of questions of 2 topics of general interest. (4 - 5 minutes)
Section 2 Section 2 is a monologue (1 person speaking) by the candidate. The examiner will give the
candidate a card with a subject and a few guiding questions on it. The student must talk for 1 to 2
minutes on this subject. The examiner decides on the exact length. The student has an optional 1 minute
in order to prepare for his talk and is provided with some paper and a pencil in order to make some brief
notes. After the candidate's talk the examiner will ask 1 or 2 brief questions in order to finish off the
section. (3 - 4 minutes)
Section 3 Here the examiner will ask some more questions generally related to the subject spoken about
in section 2. These questions will be more demanding and require some critical analysis on the part of the
candidate. (4 - 5 minutes)
Here are some example questions for IELTS speaking test, teacher can use it as a guide
