IELTS Speaking Study Links

Whether you’re looking for an online Speaking partner to prepare for your IELTS test, or whether you just want to work by yourself, there is plenty of help available online.

Here are some of the useful links I’ve found. You can practise Speaking by yourself by 

  • recording yourself (more tips here)
  • using a captions generator like Flipgrid which will let you know which sounds it didn’t pick up
  • ‘shadowing’ – listening to Ted Talks for example, and trying to copy and mimick the speakers when you pause the video.
  • Powerpoint Presenter Coach – this gives you feedback on your performance (see video below)

Join the Members Academy for my Speaking and Pronunciation Bootcamp, which is designed to improve your Speaking score in 28 days.
