What I really liked about the conversation is that how she uses simple vocabulary to speak for quite long. Loved it!

OMG I cannot recommend your channel enough. Chris, you're the most straightforward teacher I've seen online. The thing is, my family never had the money to send me to an IELTS learning center, and your videos help me a lot. You clearly know what you're telling viewers in your videos, and your tips just work, perfectly. I've taken a test organised by IDP last December. Even though my results was investigated for a while, today I've received it. Overall: 8.0; Reading & Listening: 8.5; Writing & Speaking: 7.0. And I've only actually been preparing for my test for 2 months (albeit I've learned English for years). Your videos gave me so many good tips, hence helped me to avoid the bad tips all over the Internet. It's safe to say that they gave me a whole new prospective about the IELTS test: it's not supposed to be over-complicated, I just need to use what I have in my heart. Again, I cannot express how grateful I am to you. Definitely a channel I've recommend to my friends and family if they need to take the test. Thank you Chris, from the bottom of my heart.

As a non-native speaker who has studied in English all through his life, I saw the test to be less difficult and was hoping to get a band 8 or 8.5 without any special preparations but it turned out to be tricky. However, I am okay with 7 and I don't regret my time at your channel. Thanks alot.

Also it would be a great idea Chris if students like this one could be persuaded to do a 'talking heads' vid where they can give advice to other students about their English habits and routines - that could be a real role-model to follow. I know my students would really appreciate it.

It is the same with the reading too. I usually don't make any mistakes in the section 3 and 4 but they are supposed to be the hard ones. I just don't get it. I would appreciate it if you shared your thoughts about the issue. Maybe I need to focus more idk. Thanks for the free lessons and materials anyway.

I've only been teaching IELTS for 5 years so far and I'm trying to improve every day. So firstly, thanks so much for these videos, they're an excellent resource for any IELTS tutor. May I ask, how can this be a band 8.5 when she's making so many grammatical errors such as 'If you feel hot, you go to the mountains', 'We go ski', 'I used to play wakeboard', etc. For me, as a tutor, these errors feel too frequent; as the band descriptors for band 8 say 'Produces a majority of error-free sentences, with only very occasional inappropriateness or basic/unsystematic errors'. Was she able to achieve a band 8.5 because the other band descriptors (fluency & coherence, lexical resource and pronunciation) were so good? If you could give me a bit more information on how you arrived at an 8.5 that would really help me in my marking, as for me this feels more like a 7.5-8 and I want to re-calibrate my feedback style for my current students. Any help appreciated, thanks in advance!

@Ieltsadvantage 4 ай бұрын

Thank for you for the well-considered response. It’s much better than some of the angry responses we get here. I think there are three problems here: 1. Yes, she does make some errors, but so do all students who get a Band 8 for grammar. Even Band 9 students make little slips. Many people think Band 8 means perfection, it doesn’t. 2. There’s a difference between listening to someone speaking and listening with the intention of analyzing every grammar error they make. Even examiners aren’t listening for and analyzing every little error. 3. What you perceive to be an error, might not be to many examiners. Where I’m from, many of her perceived errors are accurate. This is why many non-natives pick up on errors that native-speakers wouldn’t even hear. Text-book English vs. real English. I also think that there are so many scripted videos out there that when someone hears what a real student sounds like, they perceive it in a warped kind of way.

@Thr334ooz 4 ай бұрын

@@Ieltsadvantage I've found other IELTS tutors can be slightly elitist indeed..as a result of that, it makes it quite hard to open discourse with other tutors and improve. As you mentioned, there are so many scripted or badly marked speaking tests on KZfaq that it's really hard to discern which ones are accurate for less experienced teachers like myself. I'm a native English speaker and I love grammar. Perhaps I'm being too strict with my students indeed. I think your second point is really crucial as so many tutors on KZfaq are vocal about correcting every little mistake our students make whilst listening in order for our students to improve. This is not the same as just listening to someone speaking. I have one more question if you have time: For me, I tend to make fewer notes for Part 1 when marking (and would normally only mention things like timings and structural mistakes/over-sharing) as I use Part 1 to get a feel for how the speaker speaks and their natural diction (if any) so that I don't mistakenly mark someone down for hesitation when they are simply a naturally slow speaker, for example. Then I use that context to fully mark their speaking part 2 and part 3 with some specific errors and other general repeated errors. Is this a normal and beneficial way of marking the speaking test? Or do you feel like it's just as important to mark the IELTS Speaking Part 1 section the same as the others? Thanks in advance!
