On this website, I have posted many activities, lesson plans, and resources for IELTS teachers. Today, though, I have a few different activities for you. I have made three different tests that you can give to your students. There is a practice speaking test, a grammar test, and a vocabulary test. You are welcome to download, modify, and share any of these 3 free IELTS tests.
These will probably be helpful for most IELTS teachers because you can print them and give them out in your lesson with zero preparation, except for the speaking test, which you would need to incorporate into a structured lesson.
Please feel free to share these if you like. Just give credit if you do. Thanks!
Practice IELTS Speaking Test
The following document contains a full IELTS speaking test. The questions were compiled by me and this is based upon the standard test format, and uses the usual topics.
IELTS Grammar Test
I mark essays every day for my IELTS writing correction service and this means that I know what the major grammar problems are facing IELTS students. These include subject-verb agreement, verb tense, articles, and referencing. I have made a short test that includes all of these things. The answers can be found on the second page.
IELTS Vocabulary Test
Finally, I will give you the last of my free IELTS resources. Vocabulary is very important when preparing for IELTS and I have made a vocabulary test. Of course, the best way to prepare is by learning the different IELTS topics. To do a full test would require thousands of questions, so this just looks at one topic – sports. However, it also shows a great band 9 sample answer, which can be used for teaching structure and referencing to your students.
thanks for the article, do you provide training for other English tests like TOEFL and PTE Academic
Sorry, but right now I only teach IELTS.
Dear David, can I just say thank you for all this wonderful work and inspiration of yours! I am teaching my first IELTS student and spent quite a bit of money buying some (what I thought were more or less official) IELTS resources only to find them surprisingly badly-written. I then kept searching on the internet for Band 9 model answers for the writing essay and kept being disappointed (and very perplexed) until I found your website. I look forward to getting stuck in and learning …. Thank you and kind regards, Nina
Very happy to hear that. Good luck.
