يعني إيه أيليتس ؟؟
IELTS = International English Language Testing System

ايه الهيئات المسؤولة عن الايليتس ؟؟
IELTS is jointly managed by the University of Cambridge ESOL
Examinations (Cambridge ESOL), British Council and IDP: IELTS
Australia.

أنواع الايلتس :
Academic and General Training
IELTS is available in two formats – Academic and General
Training.
The Academic Reading and Writing tests assess whether
a candidate is ready to study or train in the medium of English
at an undergraduate or postgraduate level. Admission to
undergraduate and postgraduate courses is based on
the results of these tests.
The General Training Reading and Writing tests are not designed
to test the full range of formal language skills required for
academic purposes, but emphasise basic survival skills in a
broad social and educational context. General Training is
suitable for candidates who are going to English-speaking
countries to complete their secondary education, to undertake
work experience or training programmes not at degree level, or
for immigration purposes to Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
It is the responsibility of the candidate to inform the test
centre whether they wish to take the Academic or General
Training Modules. Centres are not responsible for providing
this information. The General Training Module is not offered
at all test administrations.

Tests

Each candidate takes four tests, one in each of the four skills –
Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.

1- Listening

The Listening test takes around 30 minutes. There are
40 questions and four sections.
The Listening test is recorded on a CD and is played
ONCE only.
During the test, time is given for candidates to read the
questions and write down and then check their answers.
Answers are written on the question paper as candidates listen.
When the recording ends, ten minutes are allowed for
candidates to transfer their answers to an answer sheet.

A range of native-speaker English accents are used in the
recordings which reflects the international usage of IELTS.
A variety of questions are used, chosen from the following types:
• multiple choice
• short-answer questions
• sentence completion
• note/summary/flow-chart/table completion
• labelling a diagram
• classification
• matching

Marking and assessment
One mark is awarded for each correct answer in the 40-item test.
A confidential Band Score conversion table is produced for each
version of the Listening test, which translates scores out of 40
into the IELTS 9-band scale.

2- Reading

The Reading test takes 60 minutes. There are 40 questions,
based on three reading passages with a total of 2,000 to
2,750 words

All answers must be entered on an answer sheet during the
60-minute test. No extra time is allowed for transferring answers.

Task types
A variety of questions are used, chosen from the following types:
• multiple choice
• short-answer questions
• sentence completion
• note/summary/flow-chart/table completion
• labelling a diagram
• matching headings for identified paragraphs/ sections of the
text
• identification of writer’s views/claims – yes, no or not given
• identification of information in the text – true, false or not
given
• classification
• matching lists/phrases

3- Writing

The Writing test takes 60 minutes. There are two tasks to
complete. It is suggested that about 20 minutes is spent on
Task 1 which requires candidates to write at least 150 words.
Task 2 requires at least 250 words and should take about 40
minutes.

Answers must be given on the answer sheet and must be written
in full. Notes or bullet points in whole or in part are not
acceptable as answers.

Marking and assessment
Each task is assessed independently. The assessment of Task 2
carries more weight in marking than Task 1.

Task 1 responses are assessed on:
• Task Achievement
• Coherence and Cohesion
• Lexical Resource
• Grammatical Range and Accuracy

Task 2 responses are assessed on:
• Task Response
• Coherence and Cohesion
• Lexical Resource
• Grammatical Range and Accuracy

4- Speaking

The Speaking test takes between 11 and 14 minutes and
consists of an oral interview between the candidate and an
examiner.
All Speaking tests are recorded.

Task types
There are three parts to the test and each part fulfils a specific
function in terms of interaction pattern, task input and candidate
output.
In Part 1 candidates answer general questions about
themselves, their homes/families, their jobs/studies, their
interests, and a range of familiar topic areas. This part lasts
between four and five minutes.

In Part 2 the candidate is given a verbal prompt on a card and is
asked to talk on a particular topic. The candidate has one minute
to prepare before speaking at length, for between one and two
minutes. The examiner then asks one or two rounding-off
questions.

In Part 3 the examiner and candidate engage in a discussion of
more abstract issues and concepts which are thematically linked
to the topic prompt in Part 2. The discussion lasts between four
and five minutes.
