IELTSCast Episode 41 - Glenn uses iPhone and Facebook apps to help him get band 8
Glenn and I dissect his band 8 in this episode. It is (if I may say so myself ;)) a really interesting talk, and Glenn articulates his positions well.

Nura challenged her writing band 6.5 and it was bumped to 7.5! (IELTSCast Episode 39)
Last week, I talked with Nora, and IELTS candidate with a few very unique insights into the examination. For one, she scored an overall band of 6.5 twice in mid 2014, but raised this to band 8 following some specific tweaking to her exam approach. She also exercised an EOR and had her writing band s...

Mock IELTS speaking demonstration and exercise by Ryan
I'm a big fan of mimicry as an exercise to help polish an IELTS candidate's pronunciation and general language accuracy. These two videos are a little older (originally published in late 2013), but I think they provide a pretty solid intonation workout and allow students to role play a strong IELTS ...

The format of this episode of IELTSCast is a little different. It isn't an interview. It's just me talking about my personal and professional situation over the past year and what I'm hoping to do within the online IELTS community into 2016: http://traffic.libsyn.com/ieltscast/IELTSCast_Episode_38_-...

An EOR in this situation could bump the writing band up slightly to put it more in line with the other three skills. The problem is that this c...
