IELTS Training at Manjoorans

The individual is given the scores after the initial mock test is over. Subsequently, we start classroom training. We use the Cambridge IELTS Book, an official publication for IELTS, to conduct classroom sessions. 

For Listening, firstly the test is played non-stop and students answer the questions as they listen. Once the test is over, the answers are given explaining the focus on spellings, conventions of writing and marking scheme. Then the same test is replayed taking pauses at every answer and explaining the same to students. In this way, the practice on four tests is completed.

For Reading, our teachers provide the details about various question types and explain the approach to answer the same. After introductory discussion, the passages are assigned and students are asked to complete them. Towards the end of each test, questions are discussed and answers are explained. In this way, students complete four tests. Discussion is an integral part of reading sessions. 

For writing, firstly the types of tasks are explained with essay-writing guidelines. Students practice 4 essays of task-1 type and 4 essays of task-2 type. Each essay is assessed and guidelines are provided to make the essay better. 

For speaking, one-on-one sessions are conducted exactly on the lines of the test and the answers are discussed after the session. Scores are given and guidelines are provided to improve the scores. After classroom sessions, mock tests are conducted simulating the testing conditions and scores are given for each mock test.
