IELTS! it is very easy to score a high band.



ENGLISH MANDATORY FOR ENTRY TO UK


We look toward greener pastures so that we have a more secure life and of course a great future! And that search generally takes us to the exploration of opportunities in European or American countries, where we find more freedom and better living conditions.

But now the question is how to make our journey to our dream destination a reality? And we will in most cases be blatantly told that a certificate to prove your English Proficiency be produced to start the process. And now a even the Credential Verification Service itself may make such a request. Needless to say about the Nclex RN examination, that requires among other things your IELTS certificate or TOEFL certificate, with adequate scores or bands. It is about the American Destination.

What about the European destinations? Even to apply for a registration with their medical council you need either IELTS or TOEFL.

Yes, Britain has imposed a law that requires an adequate knowledge of the English Language as a condition of entry on non-European skilled workers as well. The number of number of non-skilled workers who entered the UK last year was about 96,000. And the government has found out that more than 80% of them were incapable of passing even a Basic English Speaking Test, let alone a Written English Test.

Government estimates say most work-permit holders come from developing countries and the majority belongs to the healthcare sector and also to the Indian Sub-continent. According to reports, last years entrants included 51,000 from Indian sub-continent. The report also asserts that most of these people would not have been able to show they could speak the language fluently, or write it efficiently.

The new rule is going to affect skilled workers such as bankers, multinational company executives, software engineers, doctors, nurses, and teachers and accounting professionals, who are not really proficient in English, both in written and spoken English.

Every non-European potential migrant will now be tested for his/her ability to speak, write and understand English equivalent to Britain’s GCSE or class 10 grades of A to C. They will be required to furnish proof of their proficiency either by means of an internationally recognized English test like IELTS, TOEFL or by showing that they have a Bachelor’s Degree in English from a recognized university.

So now passing English Knowledge tests like IELTS or TOEFL becomes mandatory as most of the healthcare professionals do not hold a Bachelor’s degree in English. So you are going to be tested on four parameters: Speaking, Listening, Writing and Reading.
Now the big question is how to get the desired results in these exams! It is comparatively simple to achieve a very high score or band in these examinations if you first get the fundamental grammatical rules of English correctly. And I do not think the traditional Spoken English Classes or IELTS/TOEFL classes will do anything to give you the required amount of knowledge in English Grammar, which is the basis of success in these exams.

On the other hand from my 12 years of teaching English to students and nurses have found that it can be taught in very simple ways and anyone can learn it without spending a lot of time. All the nurses who attended my English Classes, known as “Dominic’s English Course” passed the IELTS examination at the first attempt itself with the required scores. (No one has so far taken the TOEFL examination from my classes).

Yes, I advice you to take “Dominic’s English Course” first and then take the help of a professional IELTS trainer or Coaching Centre, and you will certainly see how easy it is to clear these examinations with ease and confidence.

The reason for the great number of people failing in the IELTS examination is simply their deficiency in English Grammar and Basic/fundamental concepts. Once you have it, you are confident and ready to take the test.

ENGLISH COACHING THROUGH INTERNET

I offer you coaching in two ways. First the regular in-class training, where you are required to attend classes every day, and then the internet based training, where you get all your classes through internet, and you can converse with me through Yahoo messenger/ Skype etc., and attend personal contact programs may be once in a week for 2 hours or at my place or at pre-arranged locations if there are more than five people attending the same class.

I am not interested in postal tuition because learning a language without a teacher is a near impossibility. But internet is as effective as having a teacher because you can always chat, by typing or using voice. And when convenient, personal coaching can also be given.

My English course not only makes you a confident user of English Language, but you will also see that you are acquiring a new ability to understand any book on English Grammar after completing my course. Which in effect means you will be improving your English everyday, because you have the foundation and fundamental knowledge of this language. You will see you are asked to attend a professional IELTS class because I want you to understand exactly how the exam is being conducted, and not because you want to learn English. There is a big difference in attending an IELTS coaching with a hope to learn English and attending it just to learn the system. And the difference is failure or success, respectively.
