The Speaking Module

The Speaking Module of the IELTS consists of a 60 minute module with three

parts.

Part 1

You will need to answer general questions about yourself, your homes/families,

your jobs/studies, your interests, and a range of familiar topic areas in four to five

minutes.

Part 2

You will be given a verbal prompt on a card and asked to speak about a

particular topic (listed on the card). You will have one minute to prepare before

speaking at length, and will need to speak between one and two minutes. Then

the examiner will ask you one or two follow up questions.

Part 3

You and the examiner will engage in a discussion of more abstract concepts and

issues which will be linked to the topic you discussed in Part 2. The discussion

will last between four and five minutes.

You will be scored on how well you are able to communicate effectively in

English.

Of all the test modules on IELTS, this is the easiest to prepare for. This is the

test module that you can practice anywhere, in your car, in your room, on the

phone, by yourself or with someone else. After you successfully pass IELTS,

you will be speaking English a lot, so you might as well prepare by speaking it at

every opportunity beforehand.
