| The IELTS Preparation Program is designed for those students preparing to enter an Australian university or TAFE College. In the Australian tertiary education system, students are required to be both proficient in English and have the capacity to undertake academic analysis. The course will help students focus on the English language skills they need, utilizing the appropriate way they can develop these skills. This will be supplemented with topic/language-based lessons dealing with cultural issues and current affairs. Furthermore, students will take part in an independent learning contract to develop their research and presentation skills in English. |
