Listening
Follow conversations and monologues, track detail and transfer answers with care.
IELTS pathway
IELTS General Training preparation for practical language contexts.
General Training is commonly selected for migration, work, training and other purposes where the receiving organisation accepts this test type.
The four components
Prepare for everyday, workplace and social language demands.
General Training Reading
Work with notices, workplace materials and longer general-interest texts using efficient reading decisions.
General Training Writing
Write an appropriate letter in Task 1 and a clear, relevant essay in Task 2.
Speaking
Discuss familiar topics, develop an extended response and explore broader ideas.
Know the distinction
Listening and Speaking are shared; Reading and Writing differ.
The two pathways use the same Listening and Speaking components. Their Reading materials and Writing Task 1 differ, so preparation should match the test you will take.
