Stunning, Vast and Incomparable

Australia, the “land down under,” is a sunny big island country, and a continent all its own, with a wealth of

unique cultural and natural wonders to explore and experience. Come connect here with koalas, kangaroos, and

gregarious Aussies alike in "the Lucky Country" that combines world-class modern cities with amazing outdoor

escapes. With its rugged and varied landscape, people go to Australia to see the Great Barrier Reef, adventure into

the “outback” to see uluru (Ayers Rock), or to stick to the beach and enjoy surfing, sailing or kayaking.

Australia's long geological isolation makes it a perfect place to see some of the world’s most unusual wildlife.

Culture-seekers will be intrigued by Australia’s colonial and prehistoric past, and will enjoy the diverse influences

of the many adventurous immigrants who have settled in this South Pacific paradise.

ielts mastery B s

aVailaBle in full-time scHeduleStudents may opt to take IELTS Mastery in the Full-time Intensive schedule to

strengthen key areas through additional Academic Skills Electives.

The purpose of the IELTS Mastery is to prepare students for the Academic

version of the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) exam. It

covers all four test modules; Listening, Academic Reading, Academic Writing,

and Speaking. This course gives students the opportunity to specifically target

each macro-skill, as well as develop grammar, academic vocabulary and writing

skills in order to obtain their target IELTS band score and move on to their

academic goals either through direct entry into university or through ILSC’s

university Pathway Program.

ielts mastery leVelsThe IELTS Mastery is offered at 6 levels each designed to help student target and

achieve a specific IELTS level. All students (including current ILSC students) will be

required to take a test to determine their current IELTS level in order to be placed

in the appropriate level. Each IELTS level is offered over up to 3 course sessions

(12 weeks); students will advance to the next IELTS level after 1, 2 or 3 sessions

depending on their ability.

tarGet leVel course focus

5.0Focus on Speaking and Listening using everyday knowledge and vocabulary to communicate about family and

general interests. Get familiar with IELTS testing and increase your test-taking confidence.

5.5Continue to build on the vocabulary and communication needed to discuss both familiar and unfamiliar topics,

and build test talking familiarity. Begin to develop academic vocabulary, and focus on building reading skills to

recognise and become familiar with the conventions, grammar and vocabulary used in academic writing.

6.0Start to develop and demonstrate the range, fluency and language control of a competent communicator.

actively producing the language studied in academic readings at the lower levels.

6.5Work with a wide range of vocabulary, language structures, themes and register. Build the skills of a native

speaker. Focus is on integrating the knowledge built at the lower levels and strengthening coherence by building

advanced grammar and vocabulary.

7.0Build the final layer of skills needed to speak at length on a range of topics accurately, fluently and without

effort. Focus is still on grammar and vocabulary, pronunciation and fluency.
