The IELTS Academic Module is designed for students who wish to study or train at a higher education institution in an English-speaking country. It is also suitable for those seeking professional registration in an English-speaking country. The Academic Module assesses the language proficiency of candidates in academic contexts and evaluates their ability to understand and use complex academic language.
The Academic Module consists of four sections:
1- Speaking
- The Speaking section of the Academic Module consists of a face-to-face interview with an examiner. The interview consists of three parts: a brief introduction and general questions, a topic presentation, and a discussion. The interview lasts between 11 and 14 minutes.
2- Listening
- The Listening section of the Academic Module consists of four recorded texts, each followed by a series of questions. The texts are typically academic in nature; such as lectures or discussions on academic topics. Candidates have to answer 40 questions in 30 minutes.
3- Reading
- The Reading section of the Academic Module consists of three academic texts, each followed by a series of questions. The texts are taken from books, journals, and newspapers, and are related to academic subjects. Candidates have to answer 40 questions in 60 minutes.
4- Writing
- The Writing section of the Academic Module consists of two tasks.
In Task 1, candidates are given a visual representation of data, such as a graph, chart, or diagram, and they have to write a report summarizing and describing the information.
In Task 2, candidates are given a topic and they have to write an essay in response to it. Candidates have to complete both tasks within 60 minutes.
The Listening and Speaking sections are the same for both Academic and General Training Modules, while the Reading and Writing sections are specifically designed for Academic Module candidates.
