IELTS Masterclass is for those higher-level students who are aiming for a high score – particularly if they want to get into university. It encourages them to use language independently, with real confidence, and motivates them to think broadly.

The most successful IELTS students are those who can maximise what they have learnt in class to become independent learners. IELTS Masterclass encourages independent learning with a ‘Help Yourself’ page in every unit, the students’ website, and an online self-study IELTS practice test.
The course also prepares students for more than just the exam. Unit topics cover subjects that are either popular, are relevant to academic subjects, or are likely to occur in the exam. Exploration sections that are non-exam specific let your students expand what they have learnt into broader language skills.
Use the Learning Management System (LMS) to assign the Online Skills Practice exercises as homework. You’ll then see your students’ marks and be able to identify common weaknesses. Review just those problem areas in class and have more time to focus on the Students Book.
You’ll also be able to assign the online practice test as a mock exam without support features and with a timer on, or as practice with support features and no timer.
If you prefer not to use the LMS, your students can use the Online Skills Practice and online practice test independently for self-study.
