What the IELTS Listening Section Assesses
This section assesses how well you understand ideas, recognise opinions and follow the development of an argument.
If you are looking to work, live or study in an English-speaking country, then you must be able to demonstrate a high level of English language ability. English is the third most spoken language in the world, with 379 million speakers worldwide. Being able to communicate in the native language of the country you wish to work or study in, has a wide range of benefits. It is also essential for job opportunities as well as integration into the community.
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is designed to help you work, study or migrate to a country where English is the native language. This includes countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and USA. Your ability to listen, read, write and speak in English will be assessed during the test. Over three million people take IELTS every year. IELTS is accepted by more than 11,000 employers, universities, schools and immigration bodies around the world.
