International English Language Testing System (IELTS)

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is a standardized test administered to measure the English language proficiency of non-native speakers in the four key language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. The test is recognized by universities, employers, and immigration authorities in English-speaking countries including the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

The IELTS, which is conducted by British Council, IDP Education, and Cambridge Assessment English, is designed to evaluate the English language skills and abilities of individuals planning to pursue their degrees or seeking employment in countries where English is the primary language of communication.

Additionally, it assesses the English language proficiency of those who seek immigration to such countries. With millions of test-takers across the globe, the IELTS has become the most popular and widely accepted English language test across the majority of English-speaking countries.

Types of ILETS

There are two major types of IELTS: Academic IELTS and General Training IELTS. Both tests measure the same four language abilities of reading, writing, speaking, and listening but, the difficulty level varies significantly depending on the nature and purpose of the test.

The academic IELTS is required for students planning to pursue higher education at universities in English-speaking countries. The test is conducted to measure students’ academic English language proficiency.

The general IELTS is intended for candidates planning to migrate to English-speaking countries for work or immigration purposes and is designed to evaluate their English speaking proficiency in social contests, such as practical, everyday conversation, and workplace settings.
