English is becoming a requirement for all sectors of industry. At all levels in organisations and all over the world, English at work is no longer only for professional jobs or senior management roles – it has increasingly become necessary for lower-skilled jobs in the tourism and retail sectors. The world of work has changed. Globalisation, together with advances in technology, has changed the way many companies operate and the skills required by employees. As cited in a previous British Council study, ‘even if English is one of the working languages in a major multinational company, the English proficiency requirement differs from role to role’. English is often the lingua franca and sometimes the official language of business as chosen by organisations. The very concept of international, dispersed teams changes and expands the parameters of English for work. Hence the knowledge of English language is not limited to a group of people but it takes a wider scale. Little knowledge of any language can be harmful and can be very dangerous and can take anyone to trouble, so a person requires a good proficiency level of language.

I’d be happy to share my teaching experience related to IELTS coaching. Background: I have been an IELTS coach for over 30 years, specializing in helping students achieve their desired scores in the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). My approach combines rigorous preparation, personalized guidance, and a deep understanding of the test format. My teaching philosophy: 1. Individualized Attention: I believe in tailoring my teaching methods to each student’s unique needs. No two learners are alike, and understanding their strengths and areas for improvement is crucial. 2. Holistic Approach: I don’t focus solely on test strategies or language skills. Instead, I emphasize a holistic approach that includes language proficiency, test-taking strategies, time management, and confidence-building. 3. Practice, Practice, Practice: Regular practice is essential. I encourage students to take mock tests under timed conditions to simulate the actual exam environment. This helps them build stamina and identify areas that need improvement. 4. Feedback and Improvement: Constructive feedback is a cornerstone of my teaching. I provide detailed feedback on writing tasks, speaking performances, and listening exercises. Students learn from their mistakes and refine their skills. 5. Vocabulary Enhancement: A rich vocabulary is crucial for success in IELTS. I introduce students to academic and context-specific vocabulary, emphasizing its correct usage in essays and speaking tasks. 6. Speaking Confidence: Many students struggle with the speaking section due to nervousness. I conduct mock speaking sessions, focusing on fluency, coherence, and pronunciation. Confidence-building exercises are also part of the process. 7. Reading and Listening Strategies: I teach effective reading and listening strategies, such as skimming, scanning, and identifying keywords. These techniques help students locate answers quickly and efficiently. 8. Time Management: I guide students on managing their time during the test. This includes allocating sufficient time for each section, avoiding common pitfalls, and staying calm under pressure. 9. Writing Task 1 and 2: I break down the writing tasks, emphasizing the structure, content, and coherence. Students learn to analyze graphs, charts, and diagrams effectively and express their ideas clearly. 10. Test Simulation: In the final weeks leading up to the exam, I conduct full-length mock tests. This helps students experience the actual test conditions and fine-tune their performance. Success Stories: Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing remarkable success stories: • A student who initially scored 6.0 in writing achieved a band score of 7.5 after focused coaching. • Another student improved from 5.5 to 8.0 in speaking by overcoming anxiety and practicing consistently. • Several students achieved their desired overall scores, enabling them to pursue higher education abroad. Motivation: What motivates me most is seeing my students achieve their dreams—whether it’s securing admission to a prestigious university, obtaining a work visa, or fulfilling personal aspirations. Their success fuels my passion for teaching. Remember, success in IELTS isn’t just about language proficiency; it’s about understanding the test format, practicing diligently, and believing in oneself.
