• YES! IELTS for Language Schools

     

    YES! IELTS for Language Schools is a writing course that uses a blended learning approach. It integrates carefully constructed online study activities with assistance and encouragement from a real-life classroom teacher.

    Students work through their course step-by-step and each time they complete and submit an activity, their teacher receives an email alert. The teacher then checks the students’ answers and if necessary writes back with suggestions or corrections.

    This interactive method means that students can study by themselves to their own timetable, yet you have the ongoing support of a real teacher throughout their learning program.

    As a school, you allocate your own teacher (or teachers) who facilitate(s) your course. Training and support are provided.

      Karl Prodger, IELTS Co-ordinator at Viva College (Brisbane, Australia)

      This writing program is one of the best ways for students to get into the rhythm of writing a successful IELTS essay. The subjects are relevant and takes a student from guided (step-by-step) to freer practice.

      We worked closely with Tish to align the YES! IELTS topics with our curriculum and as a result, we have a synchronised system. Thus the students experience success early on which helps with motivation and also allows them to notice the grammar structures that are being used along with useful phrases that will help them succeed in the test. Another positive is that there is self-marking with gap-fills until the students start producing their essays and then the results are easily displayed within the Moodle framework.

      Overall, the YES! IELTS for Language Schools programme has enhanced the writing strategies and techniques practiced in class and has given students the opportunity to sharpen their skills in their own time.

      Matt, a YES! IELTS Student from Hong Kong

      Thank you, Tish! If it had not been for YES! IELTS, I couldn't have hit a band 8 in the writing test. Scoring a band 8 - particularly in the writing test - is no easy task. All the same, with the tips given by Tish, I had a firmer grasp of the writing test and knew what areas I needed to work harder on and pay more attention to.


      Mark Collins, IELTS Teacher at Viva College (Brisbane, Australia)

      I have been using YES! IELTS for Language Schools with my students for nearly twelve months. In that time I have seen many students benefit from the simple, clear, yet comprehensive methods that underpin the YES! IELTS programme. The website is user-friendly and logical for teachers and students alike. The content is high quality and highly relevant to IELTS essay writing. I use the programme as a self-study and classroom tool, and refer to the five-step method in my classroom instruction. Tish is only ever an email away if I have any questions, and her support is always timely and effective. I would certainly recommend the YES! IELTS for Schools programme to any school or IELTS teacher looking to improve their students’ essay-writing ability.
