Jan. 13, 2009 - PRLog -- For many wishing to study or live and work in countries like the United Kingdom, Australia or New Zealand, the first step to fulfilling their ambition is taking the “International English Language Testing System test”; better known as the IELTS test. Covering all English skills – listening, reading, writing and listening – IELTS tests what people can do in English, rather than what they know.

“Many tests are grammar based and assume that if someone knows English grammar well, they can use English well,” explained IELTS Tips’ founder, John Hughes. “Unfortunately, it is possible to have expert knowledge of English grammar without being able to communicate effectively.”

IELTS candidates have to listen to natural speech and answer questions about what is being said. In addition, they have to read articles from newspapers and magazines and answer questions. Unlike other tests, candidates actually have to write essays which are marked by native English speakers trained to evaluate their English capability. They also have to converse with a native English speaking assessor who evaluates their spoken English. “The non-traditional format throws many candidates,” added Mr. Hughes. “Even extremely competent English language users have difficulty with IELTS.”

IELTS Tips.com (http://www.ieltstips.com) is a new site established to help IELTS candidates approach the test and get the best possible result. Although not finished, the site has already given a lot of IELTS candidates the guidance they need. “The site offers downloadable exercises designed to give those taking the test the skills they need to do well,” continued Mr. Hughes. “It also offers a directory that provides the contact details of schools and organizations that offer training to help IELTS candidates prepare for the test. In addition, it provides information on consults who can assist with educational and emigration issues. Whether in India, Japan, Thailand, Russia, Europe, the Middle East or elsewhere, we aim to give people the information they need, wherever they are in the world. There is also IELTS Talk.com (http://www.ieltstalk.com) - a fun forum for IELTS candidates to meet, chat and share their experiences.”

IELTS Tips.com (htp://www.ieltstips.com) is poised for completion April 2009. If you have a business or organization that provides IELTS training or other services that might be of interest to IELTS candidates, visit the site and register.
