IELTS Listening Strategies from Trainer James

The IELTS Listening Strategies from Trainer James is slightly different from other instructors.

In the IELTS Listening Test, you have to answer 40 questions which are divided into four sections. The audio will be played for 30 minutes wherein you can write your answers in the question booklet. After the completing of the audio, you will have an extra 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the Listening Answer sheet. Trainer James advises students to use capital letters and not touch any lines while transferring the 40 answers.

Here at Trainer James Institute, we have quite a unique way of teaching the skills and IELTS Listening Strategies needed to succeed in the Listening part of IELTS. Of course, you have to read the instructions carefully and practice targeted listening as much as you can, but you do not need to read the options in multiple-choice questions with the techniques or the IELTS Listening Strategies shared by Trainer James.

For the main IELTS Listening Strategies and skills to succeed in the Listening module of IELTS, you will have to join one of the courses or talk to the instructor first and find out your level at the CEFR scale.

IELTS Listening is the easiest test to crack, but, since students in non-English-speaking countries do not listen to adequate English (songs, podcasts, etc.), it may be really difficult for them to understand the speakers as they use standard English accents from all over the world (UK, Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, India, China, Japan, etc.). Using IELTS Listening Strategies of Trainer James would be very helpful to the students of non-English-speaking countries.
