IELTS Intensive is a short course offering 40 hours of classroom study, with an optional 20 hours of additional practice material for extended classroom use or homework. It is designed to strike a balance between test training and practice in all four skills areas.
IELTS Intensive is aimed at students who require an IELTS band score of 5.5 – 6.5, who are close to achieving this level of academic language proficiency, but who need to improve their IELTS performance.
Key points:
It is a genuinely short course which means teachers do not have to use content selectively.
The focus on evaluating models and analysing test prompts helps students engage confidently with test tasks.
Additional test practice material after every two units reviews task types presented in the preceding units in a format that closely reflects the test.
Two audio CDs, full audio transcripts and an answer key with full sample answers are included in the back of the book.
Additional features include:
Get to know IELTS: An introductory quiz familiarises students with the IELTS test.
Target time and Target score: Because students often find it challenging to complete Reading questions in the time given, questions are accompanied by a target time to help students maintain an adequate speed.
You’re the examiner: Students use this feature to analyse tasks in depth and assess sample answers.
Boost your band score: Tips suggest how students can gain higher band scores.
Writing task bank: Includes an extensive section of additional Writing tasks for extra practice.

Skillful Second Edition Level 2 Reading & Writing Student's Book + Digital Student's Book Pack
Helps teachers prepare students for success in academic university English programmes. Though engaging content, a skills-based syllabus, clear step-by-step lessons, and a strong academic focus, students develop the language, confidence, and skills they need at university and in their future careers.
Skillful Second Edition Level 4 Reading & Writing Student's Book + Digital Student's Book Pack
Skillful Reading & Writing helps teachers prepare their students for academic work in English by teaching not only language systems – grammar and vocabulary – but the necessary skills to engage with topics, texts and discourse with classmates. Students need to know how to do things: how to explain, persuade, outline and argue a thesis, distinguish between important and unimportant information, make transitions, identify cause and effect and more. Skillful acknowledges that acquiring these skills is not a matter of memorizing facts, but is rather a matter of students noticing them as they read, breaking them down and understanding them through clear explanations, and then practicing those skills in carefully scaffolded writing activities that lead to freer practice. There are also study skills pages within the units which teach students strategies they can use to improve their academic performance and build confidence for ongoing independent learning.
Each unit begins with a stunning visual as well as a discussion point and infographic to orient students and engage them with the unit’s theme. Each unit opening section contains authentic Reuters video, which presents engaging real-world topics to spark ideas and debate. The video can be streamed online or downloaded from the Student’s Resource Center. Unit topics mirror those in Skillful Listening & Speaking so both books can be used alongside each other.
