An Introduction to the InternationalEnglish Language Testing System

IELTS, the International English Language Testing System, isdesigned to assess the language ability of candidates whoneed to study or work where English is used as the languageof communication. It is recognised widely as a languagerequirement for all courses in further and higher education. Itis readily available at test centres around the world whicharrange test administrations according to local demand.

Results are issued two weeks after candidates have taken the test.

Band scores are recorded on a Test Report Form, showingoverall ability as well as performance in listening, reading,writing and speaking.

There are 9 bands from

BAND 1 - NON-USER

Essentially has no ability to use the language beyondpossibly a few isolated words.

to

BAND 9 - EXPERT USER

Has fully operational command of the language;appropriate, accurate and fluent with completeunderstanding.

IELTS is jointly managed by the University of Cambridge LocalExaminations Syndicate (UCLES), the British Council and IDPEducation Australia: IELTS Australia.

The University of Cambridge LocalExaminations Syndicate (UCLES)

The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate(UCLES) was established as a department of the University ofCambridge in 1858 in order to set a standard of efficiency forschools in England. The Cambridge examinations cover a widerange of academic and vocational subjects and includeexaminations especially designed for the international market.Examinations in English as a Foreign Language were started atUCLES in 1913, with the Certificate of Proficiency in English(CPE). The First Certificate in English (FCE) was introduced in1939. Other EFL examinations and schemes for Teachers ofEnglish as a Foreign Language (TEFL) have been added sincethen, so that UCLES now offers the most comprehensiverange of EFL examinations and TEFL schemes with a totalannual candidature of over 700,000.

The British Council

The British Council promotes educational, cultural, andtechnical co-operation between Britain and other countries.The Council’s work is designed to establish long-term andworld-wide partnerships and to improve internationalunderstanding. The Council works in 228 towns and cities in108 countries.

The administration of examinations on behalf of Britishexamining boards and educational institutions is an importantpart of the British Council’s work. Almost all Council officesoverseas administer IELTS and can provide facilities forcandidates wishing to take other British examinations.

IDP Education Australia: IELTS Australia

IDP is Australia’s international education organisation. Itundertakes a broad range of activities in internationaleducation ranging from student advisory services andeducational publications to project consultancy and Englishlanguage teaching and testing. Australian universities and TAFEinstitutions are its institutional support base but IDP providesservices to a wide variety of Australian education and traininginstitutions and a diverse array of international clients.

IDP participates in IELTS through IELTS Australia Pty Limited,a subsidiary company which is partially owned by Australianuniversities.

Test Centres

At the time of going to print IELTS can be taken at 251approved test centres in over 105 different countries. The testis administered centrally by UCLES but the test centressupervise the local administration of the test and ensure theprovision of qualified and trained examiners. The shaded areason the map below indicate countries where IELTS test centresare located. For a full address list of centres please refer topages 26 to 35.

IELTS is not held on set dates during the year. Test centrescan arrange an IELTS administration at any time, according tolocal need. Most centres conduct a testing session at leastonce a month and more often at peak times. Special testsessions are easily arranged for particular sponsors orinstitutions. Individual test centres should be contacted fortheir current programmes.

Candidates are not allowed to repeat the test within three

months at any centre.

Candidates must select either the Academic or General

Training Reading and Writing Modules depending on thestated requirement of their sponsor or receiving institution.

The Academic Reading and Writing Modules assess whethera candidate is ready to study or train in the medium of Englishat an undergraduate or postgraduate level.

Admission to undergraduate and postgraduate courses shouldbe based on the results of Academic Modules.

The General Training Reading and Writing Modules are notdesigned to test the full range of formal language skillsrequired for academic purposes.

The emphasis of General Training is on basic survival skills ina broad social and educational context. It is suitable forcandidates who are going to English speaking countries tocomplete their Secondary education, to undertake workexperience or training programmes not at degree level, or forimmigration purposes to Australia and New Zealand.

Shaded areas indicate countries with IELTS test centres.

Test Format

All candidates are tested in listening, reading, writing andspeaking. All candidates take the same Listening andSpeaking Modules. There is a choice of Reading and WritingModules.

The first three modules - Listening, Reading and Writing -must be completed in one day. The Speaking may be taken, atthe discretion of the test centre, on the same day or up totwo days later.

Candidates in some test centres are required to takeadditional pretest sections of up to 20 minutes. Performanceon these pretests does not affect a candidate’s results in anyway but pretesting is an essential part of IELTS question paperproduction.

A computerised version of IELTS Listening, Reading andWriting Modules (CBIELTS) will be available at selectedcentres during 2001. Candidates who choose to take CBIELTSListening and Reading can opt to take the Writing Module onscreen or on paper.

CBIELTS centres will continue to offer paper-based IELTS;

candidates will be given the choice of the medium in

which they wish to take the test.

More information on CBIELTS will be made available prior tothe implementation of live CBIELTS testing.

Test Format

ListeningTime: 30 minutes

Candidates listen to a number ofrecorded texts, which increase indifficulty as the test progresses. Theseinclude a mixture of conversations anddialogues and feature a variety ofEnglish accents and dialects.

The recording is heard only once, butcandidates are given time to read thequestions and record their answers.

Academic ReadingTime: 60 minutes

There are three reading passages withtasks. Texts are taken from books,magazines, journals and newspapers, allwritten for a non-specialist audience. Atleast one of the texts contains adetailed argument.

Academic WritingTime: 60 minutes

For the first task, candidates write areport of around 150 words based onmaterial found in a table or diagram,demonstrating their ability to describeand explain data.

For the second task candidates write ashort essay of around 250 words inresponse to an opinion or a problem.They are expected to demonstrate anability to discuss issues, construct anargument and use the appropriate toneand register.

General Training WritingTime: 60 minutes

The format of the test is the same asthe equivalent Academic module. Thefirst task requires candidates to write aletter either asking for information, orexplaining a situation.

The second task is a short essay ofaround 250 words, and is written inresponse to a given point of view orproblem. Candidates are expected to beable to present their own ideas andchallenge other ideas, using appropriatetone and register.

SpeakingTime: 10 – 15 minutes

The test takes the form of a face to faceinterview between one candidate andone examiner. Candidates are assessedon their use of spoken English toanswer short questions, speak at lengthon a familiar topic, and also to askquestions and interact with theexaminer.

General Training Reading Time: 60 minutes

The texts are based on the type ofmaterial candidates would be expectedto encounter on a daily basis in anEnglish speaking country. They aretaken from sources such asnewspapers, advertisements,instruction manuals and books, and testthe candidate’s ability to understand anduse information. The test includes onelonger text, which is descriptive ratherthan argumentative.

The modules are always taken in thefollowing order:

]6

Listening

Listening

The Listening Module takes around 30 minutes. There are 40questions. There are four sections.

The first two sections are concerned with social needs. Thereis a conversation between two speakers and then amonologue. For example - a conversation about travelarrangements or decisions on a night out, and a speech aboutstudent services on a University campus or arrangements formeals during a conference.

The final two sections are concerned with situations relatedmore closely to educational or training contexts. There is aconversation between up to four people and then a furthermonologue. For example - a conversation between a tutor anda student about an assignment or between three studentsplanning a research project, and a lecture or talk of generalacademic interest.

All the topics are of general interest and it makes nodifference what subjects candidates study.

Texts and tasks become more difficult as the sectionsprogress.

A range of English accents and dialects are used in therecordings which reflects the international usage of IELTS.

A variety of questions are used, chosen from the followingtypes:

" multiple choice

" short-answer questions

" sentence completion

" notes/summary/diagram/flow chart/table completion

" labelling a diagram which has numbered parts

" classification

" matching

Instructions are clear and easy to follow. They require as littlereading time as possible. Examples of any unfamiliar questiontypes are given.

The Listening Module is recorded on a tape and is heardONCE only.

During the test, time is given for candidates to read thequestions and enter and then check their answers. Answersare entered, as candidates listen, on the Question Paper.When the tape ends ten minutes are allowed for candidates totransfer their answers to an Answer Sheet.

One mark is awarded for each of the 40 items in the test. ABand Score conversion table is produced for each version of

the Listening module which translates scores out of 40 ontothe IELTS 9-band scale. Scores are reported as a whole bandor a half band. Candidates should note that care should betaken when writing their answers on the Answer Sheet aspoor spelling and grammar are penalised.

IMPLICATIONS

A provides evidence against claims that electricity

produced from wind power is relatively expensive.

B supports claims that wind power is an important

source of energy.

C opposes the view that wind power technology

requires further development.

Wind Powerin the U.S.

Prompted by the oil crises of the 1970s, a wind-

power industry flourished briefly in the United

States. But then world oil prices dropped, and

funding for research into renewable energy was

cut. By the mid 1980s U.S. interest in wind ener-

gy as a large-scale source of energy had almost

disappeared. The development of wind power at

this time suffered not only from badly designed

equipment, but also from poor long-term plan-

ning, economic projections that were too opti-

mistic and the difficulty of finding suitable loca-

tions for the wind turbines.

Only now are technological advances beginning

to offer hope that wind power will come to be

accepted as a reliable and important source of

electricity. There have been significant successes

in California, in particular, where wind farms now

have a capacity of 1500 megawatts, comparable

to a large nuclear or fossil-fuelled power station,

and produce 1.5 per cent of the state’s electricity.

Nevertheless, in the U.S., the image of wind

power is still distorted by early failures. One of the

most persistent criticisms is that wind power is not

a significant energy resource. Researchers at the

Battelle Northwest Laboratory, however, estimate

that today wind turbine technology could supply

20 per cent of the electrical power the country

needs. As a local resource, wind power has even

greater potential. Minnesota’s energy commis-

sion calculates that a wind farm on one of the

state’s south western ridges could supply almost

all that state’s electricity. North Dakota alone has

enough sites suitable for wind farms to supply

more than a third of all electricity consumed in the

continental U.S.

The prevailing notion that wind power is too cost-

ly results largely from early research which

focused on turbines with huge blades that stood

hundreds of metres tall. These machines were not

designed for ease of production or maintenance,

and they were enormously expensive. Because

the major factors influencing the overall cost of

wind power are the cost of the turbine and its sup-

porting systems, including land, as well as operat-

ing and maintenance costs, it is hardly surprising

that it was thought at the time that wind energy

could not be supplied at a commercially competi-

tive price.

More recent developments such as those seen

on California wind farms have dramatically

changed the economic picture for wind energy.

These systems, like installations in Hawaii and

several European countries, have benefited from

the economies of scale that come through stan-

dardised manufacturing and purchasing. The

result has been a dramatic drop in capital costs:

the installed cost of new wind turbines stood at

$1000 per kilowatt in 1993, down from about

$4000 per kilowatt in 1980, and continues to fall.

Design improvements and more efficient mainte-

nance programs for large numbers of turbines

have reduced operating costs as well. The cost of

electricity delivered by wind farm turbines has

decreased from about 30 cents per kilowatt-hour

to between 7 and 9 cents, which is generally less

than the cost of electricity from conventional

power stations. Reliability has also improved dra-

matically. The latest turbines run more than 95

per cent of the time, compared with around 60 per

cent in the early 1980s.

Another misconception is that improved designs

are needed to make wind power feasible. Out of

the numerous wind turbine designs proposed or

built by inventors or developers, the propeller-

blade type, which is based on detailed analytical

models as well as extensive experimental data,

has emerged as predominant among the more

than 20,000 machines now in commercial opera-

tion world-wide. Like the gas-driven turbines that

power jet aircraft, these are sophisticated pieces

of rotating machinery. They are already highly effi-

cient, and there is no reason to believe that other

configurations will produce major benefits.

Like other ways of generating electricity, wind

power does not leave the environment entirely

unharmed. There are many potential problems,

ranging from interference with telecommunica-

tions to impact on wildlife and natural habitats. But

these effects must be balanced against those

associated with other forms of electricity genera-

tion. Conventional power stations impose hidden

costs on society, such as the control of air pollu-

tion, the management of nuclear waste and glob-

al warming.

As wind power has been ignored in the U.S. over

the past few years, expertise and commercial

exploitation in the field have shifted to Europe.

The European Union spends 10 times as much

as the U.S. government on research and devel-

opment of wind energy. It estimates that at least

10 per cent of Europe’s electrical power could be

supplied by land-based wind-turbines using cur-

rent technology. Indeed, according to the

American Wind Energy Association, an indepen-

dent organisation based in Washington,

Denmark, Britain, Spain and the Netherlands will

each surpass the U.S. in the generating capacity

of wind turbines installed during the rest of the

decade.

Glossary fossil fuel: coal, oil and natural gas

kilowatt: 1,000 watts; a watt is a unit of power

kilowatt-hour: one kilowatt for a period of one hour

megawatt: one million watts

wind farm: a group of wind turbines in one locationproducing a large amount of electricity

wind turbine: a machine which produces energy whenthe wind turns its blades

General Training Reading

The General Training Reading Module takes 60 minutes. Thereare 40 questions. There are three sections of increasingdifficulty with a total of 2,000 to 2,750 words.

Texts are taken from notices, advertisements, officialdocuments, booklets, newspapers, instruction manuals,leaflets, timetables, books and magazines.

The first section, social survival, contains texts relevant tobasic linguistic survival in English with tasks mainly aboutretrieving and providing general factual information.

Training survival, the second section, focuses on the trainingcontext, for example on the training programme itself or onwelfare needs. This section involves a text or texts of morecomplex language with some precise or elaboratedexpression.

The third section, general reading, involves reading moreextended prose with a more complex structure but with theemphasis on descriptive and instructive rather thanargumentative texts, in a general context relevant to the widerange of candidates involved.

Some of the questions may appear before a passage, somemay come after, depending on the nature of the questions.

EDUCATION IN SINGAPORE

SECTION ONE

A In Singapore, every child has a place in the education system where he is accorded an equal opportunity toexcel to the limits of his ability.

B The objective of the education system is to develop children’s potential and ability to the fullest so as toenable them to become useful and loyal citizens who contribute to the building of a responsible, cohesiveand robust society.

SECTION TWO

C A child in Singapore goes through an average of ten years of formal education. He starts at the age of sixin primary one. At the end of six years, he sits for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) andwould have completed his primary education. He then proceeds to a secondary school and continuesanother four or five years culminating in the GCE ‘O’ levels. The best of the ‘O’ level students will continuewith pre-university in preparation for tertiary education.

D The education system recognises that the abilities of pupils are not homogeneous. In 1980 streaming wasintroduced to maximise every child’s potential by providing for different courses that would allow pupils tolearn at their own pace. At the end of primary three, pupils are streamed into three different courses. In theNormal course, a child completes his primary education in primary six while in the Extended andMonolingual courses, he is given two extra years to complete his primary education by primary eight. Afterthe PSLE, pupils are again streamed in secondary one to either Special, Express or Normal course. By theend of secondary two, they begin to specialise in subjects of study in that they have the option of being inthe science, commerce, technical or arts stream. This kind of specialisation becomes more defined in post-secondary and tertiary education.

SECTION THREE

E Partly due to history and partly to modern exigencies, English has become the working language ofSingapore. Hence in schools, English is the medium of instruction. However, a child may learn his mother-tongue in school. This language may be either Chinese, Malay or Tamil with respect to the four main ethnicgroups in Singapore. This would give our children a cultural ballast and ground them in their cultural roots.Hence a bilingual education will strengthen a pupil’s sense of identity as well as provide him with the facilityto handle international communications.

SECTION FOUR

F The first three years of primary education emphasise the learning of language so as to provide pupils witha strong foundation for understanding what is taught in the later stages of primary education. About fifty percent of curriculum time is used for language learning at the primary level. Other core subjects include math-ematics, science, the humanities and social studies. These subjects are taught to provide children with thenecessary knowledge and skills to live and work in a modern society. Another important subject taught atprimary school level is moral education. This programme aims to inculcate in pupils sound moral valuesand civic-consciousness.

G Recent trends in education have begun to emphasise aesthetics. While music and art and handicraft havealways been a part of the primary school curriculum, there are better developed programmes now to teachliterature and drama in secondary schools and junior colleges. There are also special art and music elec-tive programmes to nurture talents among our students.

SECTION FIVE

H Extracurricular activities (ECA) are regarded as an integral part of the education system. Its aim is to pro-vide for healthy recreational activity geared towards teaching pupils a skill and at the same time cultivatingcorrect values and desirable social attitudes in the individual. Schools’ ECA programmes offer a wide rangeof social activities to cater for the various interests and abilities of pupils.

I In primary schools, ECA is introduced at the primary four level, and participation is voluntary. At the sec-ondary level, however, students must participate in at least one core ECA. They may choose from a varietyof sports and games such as track and field events, basketball, tennis, etc. or from uniformed organisa-tions, such as the St John Ambulance, National Cadet Corps, etc. or opt for a cultural activity such asMusic and Dance, or Drama.

]18

Special Circumstances

What help is available?Test centres make every effort to cater for the special needsof any disabled candidates, to enable them to best understandquestions and tasks and give their answers. It is our aim forthe language level of all candidates, irrespective of disability,to be assessed fairly and objectively.

Requests concerning particular disabled candidates should beaddressed to the local centre as much in advance of the testadministration as possible and should be supported byappropriate medical certificates. The test centre needs time todiscuss any special arrangements with UCLES. Each case isconsidered individually.

Please note that at least 3 months’ notice is essential if amodified version of IELTS is required (eg: Braille or Hearing-impaired versions), and preferred for all other applications forspecial arrangements.

Candidates with visual difficulties:Candidates with visual difficulties may apply for a range ofprovisions, including enlarged print, and brailled questionpapers.

Answers may be recorded in a variety of ways, eg: via anamanuensis, or using a braille machine or word-processor, andextra time may be allowed for completion of Reading andWriting modules.

A special needs version of the listening module is alsoavailable.

Candidates with hearing difficulties If candidates suffer from partial hearing loss and can hear withthe help of headphones or special amplification equipmentthey may ask for permission to use this type of equipmentwhen taking listening modules.

A lip-reading version of the listening module is also available inwhich the supervisor reads the listening texts to thecandidate.

If candidates have severe hearing difficulties and the specialarrangements described above are not sufficient, for exampleif they are unable to lip-read, they then can apply forexemption from the Speaking and/or Listening modules. Inthis case, their Test Report Form will have the followingstatement printed on it:

‘Due to extreme speaking and/or hearing difficulties thiscandidate was exempt from taking the Speaking and/orListening modules and the overall band score reflects this.’

NB: Candidates must apply for exemption before taking an

examination

Candidates with Specific Learning difficulties(eg: dyslexia)If candidates have dyslexia or another specific learningdifficulty, they may need extra time to complete a paper. Thismight be necessary if, for example, it takes candidates a longtime to read the questions or write their answers.

They may normally apply for up to 30 minutes extra time forcompletion of the Reading and Writing modules.

Candidates with Specific Learning Difficulties may also applyto write their answers using a typewriter or word-processor, ifthey normally write this way.

If permission is given for them to use a word-processor, itmust not have a spellcheck or thesaurus facility.

Please note that candidates with Specific Learning Difficulties may

not dictate their answers to an ‘amanuensis’ and are not allowed

to have someone read out the papers to them.

Please note that the IELTS Administrator may not be able to

provide facilities for word-processing (including the use of

computers or software). Candidates should discuss their needs

Interpretation of Results

Assessment of performance in IELTS does not depend onreaching a fixed pass mark. It depends on how the candidate’sability in English relates to the language demands of coursesof study or training. The appropriate level required for a givencourse of study or training is ultimately something whichinstitutions/departments/colleges must decide in the light ofknowledge of their own courses and their experience ofoverseas students taking them.

The British Council has, however, used its experience ofplacing overseas students to establish certain guidelinesrelating to acceptance on courses or length of study requiredfor an acceptable language level.

These are useful guidelines only and relate to an assessmentof language ability only. Additional criteria often apply foracceptance on particular courses. Recommendations for hoursof language tuition are influenced by a number of affectivevariables. It has been shown that individuals can take up to200 hours to improve by one IELTS band. There is also amarked tendency for more rapid rates of progress at lowerlevels.

Receiving institutions are advised to consider both the OverallBand Score and the Bands recorded for each individualmodule. These module Bands indicate a candidate’s particular

strengths or weaknesses. Language skills can be matched toparticular courses. For example, if a course has a lot of readingand writing, but no lectures, listening comprehension mightnot be quite as important and a score of, perhaps, 5.5/6 inListening might be acceptable if the Overall Band Score was 7.However, for a course where there are lots of lectures andspoken instructions a score of 5.5/6 in Listening might beunacceptable even though the Overall Band Score was 7.

Receiving institutions should also consider a candidate’s IELTSresults in the context of a number of factors:

• age and motivation

• educational and cultural background

• first language and language learning history

Development, Monitoring and Research

Development, Monitoring and Research

It is clear that many factors impact on the success or failure ofoverseas students studying at tertiary level in an English-speaking institition. A number of predictive validity studieshave been carried out on IELTS (see IELTS Annual Report1995, IELTS Annual Review 1997/8 and IELTS Annual Review1998/9) which conclude that language proficiency is animportant factor in academic success and that IELTS is auseful predictor of a student’s ability to cope with academicEnglish. For a large number of overseas students an accurateassesment of their English, followed by appropriate amountsof study to remedy areas of weakness, can make a differencebetween success and failure – or at least between anenjoyable or a stressful learning experience.

The revisions that IELTS has undergone since 1989 reflect thedetermination of the test developers to provide an up-to-datetesting system. In 1989 the International English LanguageTesting System (IELTS) superseded the English LanguageTesting Service (ELTS). The ELTS test was originally designedby the British Council as a test for prospective postgraduatestudents but there was growing demand from other studentgroups and receiving institutions, as well as important newdevelopments in testing theory. Further modifications to thetest were implemented in April 1995 and the development ofthe computer-based IELTS, CBIELTS, is further evidence ofthis commitment to on-going development.

Routine monitoring and evaluation of the test continues. Since1995 more information has been routinely collected about thenature of the IELTS candidature; the efficiency andeffectiveness of every question in every module and therelationship, if any, between groups of candidates and howwell items work. The IELTS Annual Review contains detailedinformation on the annual candidature and on the performanceof the versions of the test during the year. Copies of theAnnual Review are available free of charge from UCLES, TheBritish Council or IELTS Australia. Reports on the test arepresented regularly to the IELTS Consultative Committee andthe IELTS Policy Group.

All IELTS research activities are co-ordinated as a part of acoherent framework for research and validation. A ResearchReview Committee oversees the research agenda andallocates funding. Calls for research proposals which reflectcurrent concerns and issues relating to IELTS in theinternational context are issued every 12 months.

The EFL Division at UCLES has specific responsibility for theproduction of IELTS question papers.

For the majority of UCLES EFL question papers there are fivemain stages in the production process, beginning with thecommissioning of material and ending with the printing ofquestion papers.

• Commissioning

• Editing

• Pretesting

• Analysis and banking of material

• Question paper construction

Before IELTS papers are released there is an additional stage:

• Standards fixing

This process is represented in the diagram opposite.

Throughout the writing and editing process, carried outsimultaneously in Australia and Britain, strict guidelines arefollowed in order to ensure that the materials conform to thetest specifications. Topics or contexts of language use whichmight introduce a bias against any group of candidates of aparticular background (i.e. on the basis of sex, ethnic originetc.) are avoided.

After selection and editing, the items are compiled at UCLESinto pretest papers. Pretesting plays a central role as it allowsfor texts and questions with known measurementcharacteristics to be banked, so that new versions of questionpapers can be produced on a regular basis. The pretestingprocess helps to ensure that all versions conform to the testrequirements in terms of content and level of difficulty.

Pretesting is carried out in conjunction with live testadministrations or on IELTS preparation courses at selectedcentres world-wide. Pretests are no more than 20 minutes induration. Completed pretests are returned to the PretestingSection at UCLES. The pretests are marked and analysed andthose which are found to be suitable are banked.

Before the final question papers are selected, the bankedmaterial is compiled into Trial Papers. These are either a 30minute Listening test or a 60 minute Reading test. A procedure known as Standards fixing is then applied inwhich the Trial Papers are administered to representativeIELTS candidates and the results analysed in order to allowaccurate Band Score conversion tables to be constructed.Standards fixing is necessary to ensure the equivalence

of Listening and Reading versions and the reliability of themeasurement of each paper.
