For Your English

Looking to score a 7 or higher when you take the IELTS? This podcast from All Ears English can definitely help you achieve that! What I love most is the energy that the girls exude every episode – it's contagious! Offering tips, interviewing successful test-takers, and discussing strategies for various parts of the test, this is the IELTS podcast you should be listening to.

IELTS TEST PREPCAST

Very similar in style to the All Ears English podcast, besides content the only major difference is type of English spoken. While All Ears English employs the American accent, the Test Prepcast accustoms listerners to more British and international English accents. In my opinion, this is much better as the IELTS test relies on more international accents than the TOEFL test.

There isn't quite as much energy, but the audio quality is still good, and the podcast content even better!

Ben does a great job understanding what parts of the IELTS test are most difficult for test takers, and gives great advice to score the band that you need! Compared to some of the other IELTS podcasts, the editing and sound quality are not the greatest, but it does make his podcast seem more like a conversation, rather than a well-rehearsed production. It adds authenticity, because even as native speakers we often make mistakes and correct ourselves.

Ryan mostly gives interviews with successful IELTS test-takers to give listeners advice and how to avoid mistakes. If you're interested in hearing other students' success stories, you will enjoy this podcast. However, if you want real test-taking advice, this may not be the podcast for you.
