IELTS sample writing Resources

In light of the high-stakes nature of IELTS, the Test Partners ¡V British Council, IELTS Australia Pty Ltd and University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations - are committed to providing appropriate public access to a wide range of information about the test. This section of the website provides information of direct interest to two key stakeholder groups - Teachers and Researchers.

The use of IELTS as a benchmarking tool for English language proficiency has grown substantially around the world. Education institutions, professional bodies, government departments and employers in approximately 40 countries now recognise the test as one of a suite of entry requirements. This rapid uptake has led to increased demand for IELTS preparation services for candidates. The IELTS Test Partners recognise the effect of this growth on practicing ESOL teachers and have introduced a site designed to support teachers of IELTS preparation classes.
