Hello, and welcome to Series 3 of Study English, IELTS preparation. I'm Margot Politis.

0:19

In this series we'll look at some of the criteria for the assessment of the IELTS test, and

0:25

some of the skills you'll need to practice for the test.

0:29

The IELTS test has four modules: Writing, Speaking, Reading Listening

0:37

There are two different tests - the academic test for tertiary students and professionals

0:42

and the general training test, which is for immigrants and people going on to vocational

0:48

training.

0:48

Both tests have the same speaking and listening modules, but different reading and writing

0:56

modules.

1:00

Knowing what the examiner is looking for can help improve your results because you will

1:05

know what to focus on when practising.

1:08

Here are the features the examiner looks at in your writing and speaking. These are the

1:14

things that are marked:

1:17

Task Response Coherence and Cohesion

1:22

Grammatical Accuracy and Range Vocabulary

1:27

Fluency Pronunciation

1:31

What do these criteria mean?

1:33

Task response means how well you've understood and responded to the question or task.

1:43

For example, in the essay you must make sure you have answered all parts of the question

1:48

and followed the instructions.

1:51

The next thing the examiner looks for is coherence and cohesion.

1:56

This is how you organise your answer.

1:59

For example, in the essay, coherence means that the essay works in its overall structure,

2:06

making sense in the way it is organised.

2:10

Cohesion means that the essay flows well from one part to the next.

2:15

Another feature being assessed is grammatical range and accuracy.

2:20

When assessing grammatical range, the examiner is looking at the variety of sentence types

2:26

you are able to use. You can't rely on just using simple sentences and structures.

2:33

Grammatical accuracy simply refers to the number of errors in your language. That includes

2:38

things such as punctuation.

2:44

The final feature assessed for writing is vocabulary.

2:48

The examiner looks at the accuracy of your spelling and the range of words you use to

2:53

cover a topic.

2:55

You need to use the correct word forms and demonstrate that you can use them appropriately.

3:01

You should also be aware of when to use formal or informal language. The essay needs to be

3:08

formal, but you can use less formal language in the speaking test.

3:14

The speaking test is designed for you to show how well you can express yourself on a general

3:19

topic.

3:21

It tests your vocabulary, the accuracy of your language and your ability to use a range

3:27

of sentence forms. It also tests your coherence, by looking at how you organise and link your

3:34

ideas while speaking.

3:37

Vocabulary, coherence and grammatical range and accuracy are criteria that also apply

3:43

to the speaking test.

3:46

The remaining two criteria are only for the Speaking test: fluency and pronunciation.

3:54

Your ability to speak without hesitating or pausing too often shows how fluent you are.

4:00

Fluency is the ability to speak smoothly and easily.

4:05

Now we'll look at the last criterion for speaking - pronunciation.
