    The document discusses various aspects of English language proficiency tests. It notes that the IELTS test positively helps students practice receptive and productive skills, but restricts their ability to engage in two-way communication as the speaking section only allows monologues. It also states that IELTS has been tested across countries by experts and generally provides accurate information. Another section describes the purpose of the IELTS test is to accurately assess English proficiency and that it involves direct testing of integrative items covering four skills to validly and reliably measure communicative ability.

    Negative backwash: the speaking section is restricted to monologue or one-way conversation; no dialogue or
    discussion. This restricts student’s ability to engage in two-way communication.
    2. The IELTS test has been tested across multiple countries with a panel of experts. Therefore, it is safe to assume
    that the test generally give accurate information.
    3. Principle 2 might prove to be a problem as it is not always possible to hide a test taker’s identity before their
    test is scored.
    4. JUST DO IT!
