The IELTS Preparation@BROWNS program has been designed to prepare international students to take the official IELTS exam.
In the first 10 weeks of the IELTS Preparation@BROWNS program, students can progress at least .5 of a band score, from a minimum IELTS equivalent of 5.0 to 5.5 in all skills. Successful completion of this level, weeks 1 - to 10, will see students progress to the IELTS Plus level, weeks 11 - 20. Students can enter and exit the IELTS Preparation@BROWNS program at any level they wish provided they meet the entry requirements.
The course aims to assist students to improve their performance on the IELTS exam by developing their awareness, knowledge and skills in two broad areas:
- English language ability – students will improve their reading, listening, writing and speaking skills and develop their knowledge and control of vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and functional language.
- Test knowledge – students will become familiar with the test format, assessment criteria, practical details of test day, and strategies for maximizing test performance.
