What you will learn

How to answer IELTS Speaking questions like a native.

How to use perfectly appropriate & impressive idiomatic vocabulary in their test.

Why take this course?

Taking Band 7 students to Band 8-9 in IELTS Speaking.

This course is focused on demonstrating natural, idiomatic and grammatically-advanced English language skills which will impress the IELTS examiner.

Idiomatic/Expressive Language to impress them:

Instead of spending a lot of money, we SPLASH OUT!

Rather than tolerating something annoying, we.... PUT UP WITH it.

We aren't just happy --> we're over the moon!

Linking devices to make them say wow:

When we want to tell the examiner additional information, we don't say furthermore! NO!- We say on top of that!

If we want to contrast views, we can say... but at the same time.. or mind you.. ( The examiner will be amazed when you use something like mind you in your answer!)

Regarding -> but as far as _______ goes, ....

Such as ______ -> the likes of ______.

Grammar to make them do a double-take:

Third conditional is a breeze! -> If I hadn't shown you the third conditional, you might've not used it in your test!

Creative connecting -> You'll be just as impressed as the examiner!

Cool right?!

Are you ready to dive in and actually see some answers that will blow the examiner away?!!

This course includes:

-12 Complete IELTS Speaking Test Samples (Bands 8-9)!

-Annotations of each perfect answer given!

-Heaps of idioms, phrasal verbs, descriptive adjectives, grammar structure points and tips throughout!

- Colour-coordinated answers which show what language increases which score (Fluency & Coherence/ Lexical Resources/ Grammatical Range & Accuracy).

-12 Mini Tests at the end of each section to test how much you've learnt!

Take your English Speaking to the next level!

The best manner of lecturing teacher for english I've ever seen. He collacted all the english problems I had. I'm still learning, but this course is amazingly helpful for me. Thank You! :)

I love this course. Content is the missing part of my skill set to aim confidently for band 9! I very highly suggest it.

I'm less than halfway through, and despite having grown up speaking English at home, I've picked up loads of bits and pieces from this course to spice up my spoken British English, and the results are already kicking! The vast majority of advanced ESL courses on this platform seem to cover a good deal of archaic language that rarely gets used by real-life speakers, making non-natives stand out EVEN MORE like a sore thumb. I'm pleasantly surprised to see that Craig has put in the time and effort to put together a speaking course with a difference! Can't recommend this course enough!

The teacher is really good. Not only the material that he gives us in the course, but he shows us how to practice and use it step by step. I haven't finished this course yet, but I really enjoy what he taught in the course.

Well actually that was what I was looking for. I have already got a 7,5 as a non-native speaker but since it has expired couple of months ago I needed a course like that. So thank you so much for the quality of the course.

Wonderful course! It could be difficult for me because of the advanced level, however I've learned lots of information to improve my skills and above all Craig shows the way to reach it quickly.

This is a great course and I can learn heaps of useful tips. I think it would be more helpful and diverse if the course is added with model answers for the latest IELTS Speaking questions. In addition, it would be great if the instructors can provide some guide to use for Part 3. To be honest, this is the part that students who want to achieve bands 8 or 9 really need. All in all, it's a good course and I look forward to seeing the updates from the instructor.
