Doing 4 Lectures on IELTS - Help, Input please
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2009 9:42 am
Hi there,
I am teaching English at a University in Shanghai and the faculty has asked me to give four 2-hour lectures on IELTS to a group of freshman students, one lecture for each section: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. They said it will be about 30 students (could be a bit more) and it sounds like I could have some discussion. I have no previous knowledge of what the IELTS is other than standardized testing around the world.
To lecture "on" IELTS, it seems a little odd to me, what should my goals be?
What resources do you recommend? I have searched this forum and found http://www.teacherjoe.us/StudyAbroad.html and http://www.aippg.com/ielts/ielts-downloads.htm Would this type of thing be useful for me?
How deep should I go with my teaching in each of the sections?
Thanks so much!
Charles
