Speaking is the main part of IELTS Exam. The Duration of IELTS speaking test is about 15 minutes. It is basically one to on interview between student and IELTS Examiner. The whole conversations during the interview are recorded. In any case you are unsatisfied with the test result than the same recording will be furnished to you. The IELTS Speaking test is use to basically judge your verbal English skills. During the conversation the examiner will examine your grammar, coherence, vocabulary and organization. Here are I am going to give some IELTS Speaking tips that will  definitely help you to improve your speaking section.

• Don’t give your answers in “Yes” or “No” format. Try to give full answer of each question. You may definitely share extra information or knowledge if you have any.

• During conversation avoid long pauses; you should continuously talk and interact with the examiner without hesitation.

• Don’t feel nervous and talk as much as you can because there are no negative marking for this. If you speak less in front of Examiner, it will be difficult for the Examiner to judge your English Speaking skill.

You can also give your opinion about particular thing during the discussion, for example if you like or dislikes any place or person or thing.

IELTS SPEAKING TIPS

As you know, there are 3 parts in the Speaking sub-test : Interview, Speech and Discussion.
The questions are predictable.

If you speak well, just go over it and prepare an answer in you head for every question. If you have someone to practice with - do it, if you don’t - I suggest that you record yourself. You can do that using your PC or voice recorder or even one of those MP3 players that can tape you as well.
To get the feeling of real IELTS Speaking test you can listen to sample of test and look at the questions and the transcript of the tapes.

Best advice to those who speak not so well:
  1. Write your answers on a piece of paper.
  2. Memorize them.
  3. Speak to yourself - ask questions and answer with whatever you wrote. It will improve your pronunciation and make you more confident. This is how you overcome the initial shock of speaking English.
  4. Practice a lot with you wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend, at first you may look at your paper and then don’t - test your memory.
One more important thing - in Speaking you can not receive half band, like 5.5 or 6.5. Your score will be full band, like 5 or 6.

IELTS SPEAKING,IELTS SPEAKING ACADEMIC,IELTS SPEAKING GENERAL,IELTS SPEAKING TIPS,IELTS SPEAKING TRICKS

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is no Difference in IELTS Speaking test
for Academic and General students.

The purpose of the IELTS Speaking Module is to establish your ability to speak on a number of topics.    




The Speaking Module always has the same format:

The test is 11-14 minutes long and involves you speaking to a native English speaker who is trained to assess your spoken English against IELTS criteria. The test is also recorded. There are three stages to the test: 
   

Phase One
Phase One of the speaking test lasts around 4-5 minutes and very much follows the format any conversation might take when two people meet for the first time - you will be asked to talk about your personal situation (family, job, university study, etc.) and other familiar topics.    
Phase Two      
Phase Two of the speaking test requires you to do a presentation on a general topic. The examiner interviewing you will give you a card with a topic on it and you must talk for between one and two minutes. Again, the topics are very general and related to your personal experience. A topic might involve you talking about a teacher who influenced you as a child, or talking about the reading habits of people in your country. Again, you do not need specialist knowledge to talk about the topics you are given.  
The examiner will give you a pencil and a piece of paper and allow you one minute to write notes in preparation for your presentation.
  
Phase Three  
Part Three of the speaking test requires you to take part in a discussion with your examiner. The topics you discuss will be more sophisticated than in the previous parts of the test and you will need to give opinions, speculate on possible events, consider trends as well as possibly suggest how to solve a problem.

Part Three of the speaking test is the most important part because it is in this part of the test the examiner establishes your final speaking score.   

Assessment     

The examiner interviewing you during the IELTS Test is trained to assess your spoken English against IELTS criteria. You do not need to be an absolutely fluent speaker of English to get a reasonable IELTS speaking score. The examiner will be looking for your ability to use a range of vocabulary and grammar in a way that is clear and understandable.
