What is the IELTS Closed Course?
This Closed Course is a full-timed course where you study with the same teacher and classmates over five weeks. The curriculum covers all the skills tested in the exam – Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking – as well as Grammar and Vocabulary. There is a strong focus on developing the specific analytical and academic writing skills necessary for Writing Tasks 1 and 2. Langports has two IELTS Programmes – IELTS 1 and 2. It is recommended that students study both to maximise the benefits of the curriculum.

What will I study?
Every day, you will spend a minimum of 2 hours practicing and improving your writing skills. These lessons range from developing academic vocabulary to understanding how to answer specific IELTS exam questions. Writing class is followed by daily skills lessons that focus on Listening, Reading and Speaking. You will learn how to approach each section of the IELTS Exam. Of course, you will also develop your overall fluency and understanding of the English language. Our past students nominated this as the most challenging, yet engaging part of the course. They enjoyed the opportunity to learn about a range of academic subjects and develop their understanding of the English-speaking world. Finally, our Grammar and Vocabulary lessons use real-world IELTS examples to help you consolidate the knowledge and apply the skills that you already have.
