Once you've built up knowledge with the games, try the TV quiz for a challenge, or the dictation practice to improve listening and writing skills. We know this style of learning works as it's how we learn as children: from constant repetition by parents and other adults. Once you've clicked on the life belt to see what's required of you, then click on the question mark for the repetitive element and you'll be surprised at how soon the different sounds sink into the brain.

It's similar to when you visit a country - at first it's difficult to understand anything, but you gradually manage to pick out words until you are constructing more and more complex sentences and improving fluency.

Insight into IELTS has been designed as a course book for an IELTS preparation course. However, it is equally appropriate as a self-study resource book for students wishing to improve their IELTS skills on their own as it contains helpful advice, sample IELTS material throughout the units and detailed answer keys.
The book is appropriate both for learners seeking to enter an English-speaking university, school or college, as well as for people who may need to provide an IELTS score for the purposes of immigration to an English-speaking country. The book is targeted at students of approximately Band 6 level; however, the earlier units in each section are designed for lower-level learners or students not familiar with the IELTS test format, while the later units are intended to stretch the stronger candidates beyond their immediate IELTS needs and enhance their language skills overall.
