How to prepare for an IELTS exam
At IH Valladolid we have teachers with many years of experience of teaching IELTS. Our teachers have prepared students from all over the world for this exam and we have had fantastic success in getting people ready for the exam. We would therefore like to share some ideas with you on how to prepare for the IELTS exam, either with a school, or by yourself.
Great websites for practicing listening skills:
Students often ask the question: ‘How can I practise listening outside class?’ There are so many resources available for English learners on the internet. Here are three useful websites you can try.

Happy Listening!
Top Tips for Practising Listening Skills
Try to listen to something short in English three times a week – maybe a short video clip on YouTube or a news website. Even a text of 3-4 minutes is better than nothing.
Make a note of new words you learn when you are listening. Make sure you record the meaning too, then you can test yourself later.
If the topic of the listening text is boring for you, you won’t be motivated and will find it harder to pay attention. Spend some time finding podcasts or radio programmes that you enjoy and you will be more motivated to return to them later.
Put on a podcast in English while you’re doing the housework or getting ready for work or school. Download podcasts to listen to on the bus, or put English radio on in the car – you won’t notice that you’re practicing English!
It is important to record new vocabulary and understand texts thoroughly, but it’s not very relaxing. Try to enjoy your listening practice sometimes and don’t worry about understanding every single word. Watch your favourite American series in original version (with English or Spanish subtitles), listen to your favourite English language pop songs on repeat, or re-watch a film you know well in original version.
Good luck and happy listening!
We are delighted to announce that on Saturday we held the first ever session of IELTS in the Valladolid area! We are also pleased to announce that the session was fully booked. We want to offer our congratulations to all of the candidates, both the candidates who prepared with us and those who prepared elsewhere, who took the exam. Well done all of you no matter what score you get! The session went well and the British Council were able to conduct all aspects of the exam on the same day. All candidates results will be sent directly to you in the next two weeks and our fingers are crossed that you get the results that you deserve!
The number of candidates taking IELTS continues to grow year on year and the exam is now well and truly cemented as the most popular English as a foreign language exam in the world. An IELTS certificate can open doors to candidates not just in Spain but on a truly global basis.
We will be providing more practice materials and more information about IELTS in the coming days and weeks!
