How to Learners Perspectives on IELTS Preparation Courses

A user can scan through a text easily, but it is not the case for spoken content, because they cannot be directly displayed on-screen. As a result, accessing large collections of spoken con-tent is much more difficult and time-consuming than doing so for the text content. It would therefore be helpful to develop machines that understand spoken content. In this paper, we propose two new tasks for machine comprehension of spoken content. The first is a listening comprehension test for IELTS , a challenging academic English examination for English learners who are not the native English speakers.

How to PTE Sub-Scores to Predict SPEAK Test

How to PTE Sub-Scores to Predict SPEAK Test

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (PTE), produced by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), has been in use in institutions of higher American education since the 1960s as a means of measuring incoming international students’ English proficiency. But like any test, the TOEFL is imperfect. For instance, whereas a high TOEFL score may be sufficient to admit an international student to an American graduate school, many colleges and universities require more rigorous proof of a student’s English proficiency—often in the form of a passing score on a school-specific oral assessment—if he seeks employment as a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA).

To mitigate this risk, forecasting models which use the TOEFL sub-scores of Speaking, Listening, Writing, and Reading to forecast SPEAK test outcome are applied. A student’s sub-scores act as predictive inputs to each model, which outputs the posterior probability of his SPEAK test failure. Bayes Theorem provides the structure required to obtain this probability, and the multivariate meta-Gaussian distribution captures the stochastic dependence between the sub-scores.

How to Test of English Competence Advanced ECS Learners

It is evident that English has become an essential part of everyone’s life. In higher education, especially graduate studies, English inevitably plays a crucial role in determining the success or failure of the students. In order to screen applicants for graduate studies, it is important to devise a standardized test which is reliable, valid, and practical. Conventionally, most English proficiency tests in Thailand will have three subtests in common. These subtests include: Error identification, Multiple-choice cloze, and Reading comprehension.

The criterion-related validity was established by using Pearson’s correlation coefficient to determine the relationship between the CB TEC and the TOEFL ITP scores. The results revealed that the overall correlation with TOEFL CB TEC Form A and CB TEC Form B were able to predict general proficiency of the test taker to a certain extent, based on TOEFL ITP as a criterion measure.

IELTS Listening – Diagram type questions

IELTS Listening – Diagram type questions

Usually candidates either get a map or diagram type of questions in section two of the IELTS listening test but luckily since it will have one speaker who guides through the diagram, they can easily follow and find the answers. Initially, the candidates should make use of the time gap given before the start of listening transcript, during which they should check the answers which are needed in the diagrams and check the parts to which they are about to be labelled. Candidates must also read the parts in the question, for which it has been already labelled; they should be well versed with it so that during the audio, they can easily mark the location. By following these two steps, they can easily understand the diagram.
The image may be of a device or a flow diagram, in which few parts will be labelled for guidance and remaining parts will be left blank. Candidates should practice these types of sessions by hearing more documentaries regarding the labelling of any equipment or any process such as conversion of solar energy. Finally, we should also check for any spelling errors and since small font might hinder in representing the correct spelling to the examiner, capital font can be writing throughout the listening. At prestige institute, IELTS coaching classes are conducted on regular basis for the above strategies, so that the candidate can score band 9 in these types of questions. Candidates can also practice with the hundreds of mock tests which the institute will provide during IELTS coaching classes.

IELTS group study

IELTS group study

It is important for a candidate to have a team for preparing IELTS instead of having individual class sessions with the IELTS tutor as if they are in a group, there are greater advantages for them to score high marks in the IELTS exam. Firstly, during the brain storming sessions, it will be very helpful for all the students if they are in a group as each of them will deliver a valid point and it will be useful for others to note it down and develop one. This is same during the vocabulary sessions too as the candidates can develop and enrich their English knowledge by hearing what others knew already during the vocabulary games held at this institute, thereby increasing their word power. Candidates during group activities, work as a team and also guide other candidates if they find any difficulty.
There will be group discussion sessions where the candidates can practice speaking English with their fellow mates and improve their oral fluency and pronunciation as well. They discuss about the part two in speaking on how to make use of the one minute time wisely as they need to speak for two minutes. Most of the candidates who scored above band 7 as mentioned that forming a study group for IELTS made them score so and those who has one to one session with the tutor faced difficulties in scoring high band score in their first attempt. At Prestige institute, it is highly recommended to have group classes as many session for course are planned so.
