You will be getting exercises to do at home which will build your vocabulary and teach you how to use more complex grammatical structures. We will look at the phonological features that bring a higher band. We will practise all three parts of the speaking exam and watch and compare authentic videos of the IELTS Speaking exam that were given Bands 4-9.
