I have an English test coming up — HELP!!!

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

I’m sure we have all been here at one point in our lives – you have a major test coming up and although you’ve been “studying” for the past 2 months you still have doubts as to if you are really ready.

The TOEFL exam as well as the IELTS exam are two exams that are quite intense.  They have a large portion of the exam focusing on speaking and listening.  What can you do to prepare for these exams?  Well — 1 thing that you can do is STUDY STUDY STUDY — these are NOT easy exams and do require a lot of time in order to pass — night before the test Cram sessions usually don’t cut it.  Apart from your self study(which you should be doing already) — TalktoCanada.com encourages you to take an intensive English course (meaning at least 1 lesson a day for at least 3 weeks) in order to optimize your chances of passing the spoken sections.  Intensive lessons help train your ear to English — help you get rid of “nasty speaking habits”, build up your vocabulary and most importantly help you gain confidence while speaking a foreign language.  Also, you get practice answering mock questions that you could possibly see on your exam.

Many students who sign up for help with the TOEFL or IELTS exam prep already have a fairly high level of English — but don’t know how to answer the questions.  It is VERY important to learn the structure and to answer questions based on this structure.  TalktoCanada.com helps you to understand how to answer and what NOT to say or do when answering.

TalktoCanada.com has a 100% success rate for students who have signed up for an intensive course who have dedicated at least 1h/day for at least 3 weeks with a TalktoCanada.com teacher.  Their English has improved ten fold and their ability to answer questions and understand questions is 100% better than it was at the beginning of the course.

We encourage you to make that investment — and pass your exam the first time by signing up with TalktoCanada.com.

How TalktoCanada.com can help YOU pass the IELTS test

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

The IELTS Test is quickly becoming the English Test of choice for many students who wish to study, work or live abroad.  It is a holistic approach to assessing ones English level, and includes a listening, reading, writing and speaking component.  For those of you who don’t know what IELTS stands for, it is, International English Language Testing System.  The test managed by the University of Cambridge, IDP Education and the British Council whom we have partnered with to work on corporate English language training contracts in Saudi Arabia.

Many students who take this test need the most help with the speaking component.  Being put on the spot — even as a native speaker is sometimes scary — public speaking is not an easy thing for anyone – and especially for topics that you have only 2 minutes to prepare for — it can seem impossible.

TalktoCanada helps you with all aspects of the test — but most importantly we help you with building confidence when you speak.  The training will also help you build up your vocabulary with words that you would not normally use (simple words — for general conversation).  While also helping you think on your feet and feel confident while answering questions of any type.

TalktoCanada helps you improve your speaking by simulating the speaking section of the exam — you have the option of going through Part I, Part II and Part III of the IELTS test — with your teacher you will go over each answer afterwords while working on grammatical structure, sentence building and of course fluency.

Typically students sign up for an intensive month long course with TalktoCanada (which entails having a lesson everyday) helping to guarantee results.  We focus mostly on the speaking section, as that is the section that requires the most amount of work.  We encourage students to work on the writing exercise (we also help and correct any mistakes) and lastly, you will work on your listening and reading exercises portion of the IELTS exam.  The success rate thus far has been 100% and students have noticeably increased their confidence and their fluency…just ask to to talk to one of our students who has taken the IELTS test after training with their very own online English trainer at TalktoCanada.com.

TalktoCanada helps you achieve your goals and your dreams whether it is to move, study or work in an English speaking country — don’t limit yourself and know that with the right amount of dedication anything is possible!  Get the help you need by registering for IELTS training sessions today!
