IELTS experiential Preparation Course

This is a unique IELTS preparation course that provides a holistic, fully integrated and topic-based material, ideal not only towards achieving high scores in the IELTS examination, but also for making it into an English-speaking academic environment.

The course takes your English steps ahead from the very first classes in that it:

• Builds language and grammar on who you are as a person and student/graduate of a specific discipline (unlike common courses which focus on the material itself)
• Uses language to help you realize your cognitive mechanisms and learning styles
• Inculcates self-awareness through language development
• Takes vocabulary and grammar steps ahead by moving on to exploring your academic interests on the field which is already familiar to you
• Explores different topics and disciplines with a clear bridge course that identifies how each topic or field relates to others
• Covers the widest possible range of academic topics (see course topic examples)
• Teaches language via experience and natural processes of cerebral functioning
• Sharpens critical-thinking and note-taking skills
• Familiarizes you with understanding of how stress affects cognitive functions on the day of the exam and beyond
• Teaches you stress management techniques to ensure high performance in the exam
• Extends language level from basic to academic in meaningful, well-connected, experience-based context
