In this blog, you will learn about tips for IELTS speaking. So, let's get started.

Many candidates who take the IELTS Speaking test find this section the most difficult Because it requires face-to-face communication. However, IELTS Speaking is the easiest part of the exam to improve your band score. "But how?" you might wonder. Are Interviews a lot of fun? I won't have enough time to prepare a thoughtful response. Moreover, I'll be worried..."

It's true; speaking interviews are a lot of fun. But, all exam takers get nervous and have little time to prepare their answers. Examiners also did this, so they don't expect you to speak like a politician. They don't even ask you to provide well-structured and reasonable answers! They'll only judge you on how well you can:

speak fluently and without hesitation,

use various vocabulary,

avoid grammar mistakes,

pronounce words well

What Is the IELTS Speaking Test?

IELTS Speaking is a face-to-face, informal conversation with an IELTS examiner that is the same for Academic and General Training. The test is divided into three sections and is designed to assess your grammar, pronunciation, fluency, and vocabulary.

Also, read - What is IELTS? And Types Of IELTS Tests.

Format Of IELTS Speaking Test

There are 3 parts to the IELTS speaking test:

Part 1: Introduction and interview (4-5 minutes) In addition to proving your identity, the IELTS examiner will introduce themselves and ask you to do the same. The examiner will ask several general questions about your family, studies, work, and hobbies.

Part 2: (about 3-4 minutes) Long individual turns The examiner will give you a cue card with a topic and some points to cover in your speech written on it. You will be given one minute to think about and prepare for the topic, as well as a sheet of paper and a pencil to take notes of your notes. After you've finished thinking, you'll get one to two minutes to speak about the topic before the examiner asks you some questions about it.

Part 3: (about 4-5 minutes) A two-way conversation. The examiner will ask more questions about the topic presented in Part 2 of the Speaking test. You can make use of this opportunity to discuss other ideas.

IELTS Speaking Test Information

The speaking test is a face to face speaking test in a room with an examiner.

For all candidates, there is only one speaking test. The speaking test is the same for academic and GT candidates.

Even though you are taking IELTS online, you will have a face-to-face interview with the examiner. For everyone, the speaking test is the same.

It's recorded, so you can ask for a remark later if you like.

This is an informal speaking test.

At the end of the test, the examiner who asked the questions will determine your results.

The test takes between 11 and 14 minutes to complete (not more and not less).

The examiner controls the duration and length of your answers.

Tips For IELTS Speaking

Here are top tips for IELTS speaking to help you improve your band score:

Before you walk inside the exam, you'll know what to expect.

All you have to worry about is speaking once you enter the room and sit. Everything you need to know about the rest of the process will be given to you by the examiner. So don't be worried about anything at that time. It is the first tips for IELTS speaking.

Not Too Short, Not Too Long

Your answers should typically be one to two sentences long. Answers of Yes/No are not allowed. Answer the question directly and give a little more information as a general rule. For example:

Question: Do you like to study by yourself or in a group?

Answer: I prefer to study alone (direct answer) because it allows me to focus better and accomplish more. (extension)

Don't memorize answers.

Don't memorize answers, especially in Part 1. Memorized language does not accurately assess your English language abilities to the examiner. If the examiner finds that you have memorized your answers, your final band score may be affected. It is the second tips for IELTS speaking.

Before you begin, take a few deep breaths.

Controlling your mental and physical responses, as we previously discussed, is sometimes half the battle. Your heart is likely to be racing when you first enter the room. Take two to three deep breaths to get your heart rate back to normal and calm yourself down before you begin.

Finally, it should go without saying practice, practice, practice. Find a friend with whom you can practise. Practising in front of a mirror is a good idea. Make a recording of yourself and listen to it later. But whatever you do, make sure you get so much practise speaking. It is the third tips for IELTS speaking.

Don't use big and unfamiliar words.

In your Speaking test, you might want to use big, difficult words to impress the examiner. However, if you want to be safe, avoid using unfamiliar words.

It's more likely that you'll make a mistake by mispronouncing words or using them incorrectly. Your final band score can be affected by mistakes.

Make use of a variety of words that are appropriate to the topic being discussed. It is the fourth tips for IELTS speaking.

Use a range of grammatical structures.

When IELTS examiners assess your speaking abilities, they look at the following criteria:

Fluency and coherence

Lexical resource

Grammatical range and accuracy

Pronunciation

To explain what you want to say, use a variety of grammatical structures and complex and simple sentences. Know your own mistakes and practise speaking English with friends, or record yourself to see if you can notice them. Make sure to correct yourself if you hear an error. Because you'll be assessed on your ability to use various grammatical structures correctly, it's crucial to practise speaking in the past, present, and future tenses. It is the fifth tips for IELTS speaking.

Don't worry about your accent.

Face-to-face communication, unlike an AI machine, the IELTS examiner recognizes a wide range of accents and will understand what you say during the speaking test. There is nothing to be concerned about if you can communicate well. However, because English is a stress-timed language, be conscious of sounds that you struggle with and make sure to use stress and intonation. If you practise with friends, they will let you know if they don't understand you. It is the sixth tips for IELTS speaking.

Pause to think

We all do something when we're trying to figure out how to answer a question. There's no harm in pausing for a moment to consider what to say. You might use sentences like: to give yourself time to consider throughout the Speaking test.

That is an interesting question.

I'd never thought about it before, but...

That's a tough question, but I'll do my best to answer it.

Let me think that for a while.

Let me see

That's a good point

Avoid using fillers

Avoid using filler words and speak with confidence. When we don't know what to say, we usually use fillers. However, this shows the examiner that you don't have access to the relevant vocabulary or ideas; therefore, it's vital to avoid them and instead use the phrases we provided in Tip 8.

Avoid the following fillers:

Smiling helps pronunciation

Smiling can help you relax, which can improve your pronunciation. Enunciate clearly by opening your lips wide enough for sounds to come out clearly. When we smile, our lips expand, and our speech takes on a more welcoming tone. The examiner will see that you can use a variety of pronunciation qualities if you use clear diction and tone. It is the ninth tips for IELTS speaking.

Don't speak in a monotone.

We can make a dull, monotone sound with little variation when we speak. This makes it more difficult to communicate yourself and the listener to figure out which parts of your message are most vital. Make your conversation with the IELTS examiner more engaging by emphasizing specific words and pausing at key points in your speech. By stressing crucial words, we can make it easy to compare and contrast ideas. It also improves the flow of conversation, so keep this in mind:

Don't speak in a monotone

Vary the stress and intonation to add emphasis

Don't worry if the examiner stops you.

Because the examiner is on a tight schedule, they may stop you during the speaking task to keep the test moving quickly.

Stopping by the examiner may be interpreted by many students as a sign that they're doing something wrong. But don't panic; if the examiner stops you, it's not a reflection on your ability to speak; it's simply a part of the exam. It is the eleventh tips for IELTS speaking.

Don't try to study every possible topic.

You have no idea what questions will be asked of you, but that shouldn't be a problem. All of the topics can be related to your life in some way. So all you have to do now is share your personal experiences. It is the twelth tips for IELTS speaking.

Be emotional

Give the speaking test with emotions. The tone of a speaker's speech is what separates an experienced speaker from a beginner. Express yourself as if you were speaking in your tongue.

Ask the question again if you need to

If you need something clarified, don't be afraid to ask. You will not lose a point for asking the examiner.

Make a good first impression.

Have faith in yourself. It's important to look nice, smell good, and feel well. Although it may not appear important, a positive first impression can go a long way.

Practice common IELTS topics

Part 2 of the IELTS Speaking test requires you to talk for approximately 2 minutes on a particular topic. To improve and learn vocabulary connected with each topic, practise with friends, family, or colleagues on frequent IELTS topics.

The following are some examples of topics on which you can prepare for the Speaking test:

Tourism and travel

Education

Transport

Environment

Family life

Sport and recreation

Crime and punishment

The internet

Advertising and retail
