1 00:00:00,510 --> 00:00:07,080 Now that we have an understanding of the island's exam format, it's now time for us to present our 2 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:07,490 aisles. 3 00:00:07,530 --> 00:00:09,990 Band seven Plus Course Introduction. 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,510 We're going to give you an overview of what you can expect to receive from this course. 5 00:00:16,380 --> 00:00:23,850 Now, this course will cover the academic exam, the general exam, and present information for the 6 00:00:23,850 --> 00:00:25,980 computer based exam test. 7 00:00:26,670 --> 00:00:30,480 So when I say this is a complete course, I really mean it. 8 00:00:31,110 --> 00:00:34,500 If you're doing the academic exam, there's a syllabus for you. 9 00:00:34,860 --> 00:00:41,460 In addition to that, there's a general exam syllabus that lets you know what sections apply to your 10 00:00:41,460 --> 00:00:42,630 exam type. 11 00:00:44,010 --> 00:00:47,010 So what will you receive from this course? 12 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:54,510 Well, we're going to definitely give you practical strategies and tactics that make your success on 13 00:00:54,510 --> 00:00:56,670 the exam much, much easier. 14 00:00:57,180 --> 00:01:05,040 The word practical there is very, very important, because not only do I tell you what to do, I then 15 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,620 demonstrate for you how it's done. 16 00:01:08,010 --> 00:01:11,040 The tactics and strategies are very practical. 17 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,440 That means that they're easy to use. 18 00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:16,110 That means that they work on the exam. 19 00:01:16,110 --> 00:01:17,460 They're not just theory. 20 00:01:17,490 --> 00:01:21,180 They're practical, tried and proven strategies. 21 00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:28,600 Now, as you heard me say earlier, with this course, you're going to get the academic and general 22 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,890 exam information. 23 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:35,500 We do give you a syllabus that explains what sections apply to your exam. 24 00:01:36,430 --> 00:01:44,410 In addition to that, we're going to we're going to provide you teacher lead examples for the exam section 25 00:01:44,410 --> 00:01:45,310 questions. 26 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:52,810 We're going to give you some examples that are by me that are going to explain exactly how to apply 27 00:01:52,810 --> 00:01:53,650 strategy. 28 00:01:54,370 --> 00:01:59,980 You see, very often you may go to a website or read a book and they just tell you this is what you 29 00:01:59,980 --> 00:02:00,490 do. 30 00:02:01,030 --> 00:02:07,030 But we are actually showing you step by step how to apply our strategies. 31 00:02:08,130 --> 00:02:15,150 In addition to that, we strongly believe that by taking this course, you're going to get higher scores, 32 00:02:16,230 --> 00:02:18,130 as you can see from the reviews. 33 00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:24,300 There are hundreds of students, thousands of students that have scored seven plus. 34 00:02:24,930 --> 00:02:31,440 In addition to that, you'll note that we have more than 3005 star reviews. 35 00:02:31,710 --> 00:02:36,780 This is a very, very highly rated course because we give you a lot. 36 00:02:37,020 --> 00:02:41,310 We provide you everything that you need within the course. 37 00:02:44,310 --> 00:02:49,500 In addition to those things, we also are going to provide you a few more benefits. 38 00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:59,940 As I said earlier, step by step, strategy, instruction, other courses just say do this, do a BCD 39 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:01,980 in this course. 40 00:03:01,980 --> 00:03:06,240 I'm going to hold your hand and walk you through it step by step. 41 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:13,490 In addition, we also provide a monthly live group class at least once a month. 42 00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:20,190 There's a live group class where I'm going to cover a reading topic, a listening topic, or a writing 43 00:03:20,220 --> 00:03:29,250 topic, but it's a monthly live group class, and a lot of students really, really find that really 44 00:03:29,250 --> 00:03:37,440 helpful because they're able to be in a live session, a live group session and discuss and talk about 45 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,130 strategy, application and practice along with me. 46 00:03:41,130 --> 00:03:43,530 So that's something that's really, really helpful for them. 47 00:03:44,940 --> 00:03:48,330 Finally, we make constant course adjustments. 48 00:03:48,690 --> 00:03:55,590 Unlike other courses, we are constantly monitoring the current exam for hints to let you know what 49 00:03:55,590 --> 00:03:58,170 they're focusing on more than anything right now. 50 00:04:01,210 --> 00:04:06,850 OC In regards to the listening section of this course, we're going to focus on the following things. 51 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:12,910 We're going to help you learn how to predict the possible answer choice and notice when the correct 52 00:04:12,910 --> 00:04:14,310 answer is being stated. 53 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,200 In addition to that, we're going to provide you methods that have allowed our students to score 35 54 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:19,900 to 40. 55 00:04:19,900 --> 00:04:20,350 Correct. 56 00:04:20,350 --> 00:04:21,760 On the listening test. 57 00:04:21,790 --> 00:04:29,050 Now, of course, you need to have the requisite English ability to be able to do that to match our 58 00:04:29,050 --> 00:04:30,010 strategies. 59 00:04:30,010 --> 00:04:32,980 But we've helped a lot of students achieve that goal. 60 00:04:33,580 --> 00:04:40,060 In addition, we're going to help you to identify keywords and questions and how to connect those keywords 61 00:04:40,060 --> 00:04:41,890 to the answer choices. 62 00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:48,070 Finally, we're going to help you by modeling how to listen and right answer choices simultaneously. 63 00:04:49,420 --> 00:04:53,500 Okay, now you know what we're going to focus on in the listening section. 64 00:04:53,710 --> 00:04:58,630 So let's go ahead and move forward to the reading section of the course and let you know what we're 65 00:04:58,630 --> 00:04:59,770 going to focus on. 66 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,070 We're going to teach you how to really identify keywords. 67 00:05:03,250 --> 00:05:10,630 Identifying keywords is really key to doing well on this exam because if you can identify the keywords 68 00:05:10,630 --> 00:05:17,140 and the question, you can be able to scan much easier through a passage and also have more accuracy 69 00:05:17,140 --> 00:05:18,610 in your answer choices. 70 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:25,660 In addition to that, we're going to give you assistance with being able to relate or connect answer 71 00:05:25,660 --> 00:05:27,580 choices to synonym language. 72 00:05:28,030 --> 00:05:33,640 Finally, we're going to give you some techniques to help you to identify the proper strategy to apply 73 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,310 to every single question type. 74 00:05:36,940 --> 00:05:40,210 Now let's go ahead and move forward to the writing section. 75 00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:46,330 When it comes to writing, of course, you have academic task one in general task one. 76 00:05:46,630 --> 00:05:53,320 And for the academic, we're going to help you by giving you one organization, one type of structure 77 00:05:53,590 --> 00:06:00,220 that fits the process, graph, chart or diagram, just one structure, right. 78 00:06:00,220 --> 00:06:03,340 There's not a different structure for every single type. 79 00:06:03,550 --> 00:06:07,030 We're going to help you learn how to do this for the general task. 80 00:06:07,030 --> 00:06:13,000 Number one, we're going to help you to be able to write and organize the general letter in a way that 81 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,640 really, really impresses the examiners. 82 00:06:16,090 --> 00:06:22,300 Now for task number two, we're going to give you a lot of modeling of how to present an essay that 83 00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:23,830 examiners want to see. 84 00:06:23,860 --> 00:06:29,380 And we're going to give you strategies and tactics that allow for you to have great time management 85 00:06:29,470 --> 00:06:34,510 and to express the highest skills according to the rubric. 86 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:43,300 Finally, on the speaking course, we're going to do a lot of teaching and modeling of how to provide 87 00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:45,670 responses that examiners expect. 88 00:06:46,310 --> 00:06:53,720 In addition to that, we're going to give you direct advice from former examiners that graded speaking 89 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:59,030 tests and they're going to tell you what they're looking for on the speaking test. 90 00:06:59,660 --> 00:07:07,400 In addition to that, there's a lot of student practice that you can do inside of our speaking course. 91 00:07:07,730 --> 00:07:15,740 We have embedded student practice for sections one, two and three where you can self practice all of 92 00:07:15,740 --> 00:07:18,320 our strategies and tactics that we teach you. 93 00:07:18,890 --> 00:07:25,640 Finally, we're going to help you with avoiding those common errors in pronunciation, grammar and lexical 94 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:26,360 ability. 95 00:07:29,940 --> 00:07:34,590 These are the steps that you need to take to be able to really benefit from this course. 96 00:07:34,980 --> 00:07:38,010 Number one, take lecture notes. 97 00:07:38,370 --> 00:07:42,870 The way that I teach this course is just like you are in person. 98 00:07:43,860 --> 00:07:44,250 All right. 99 00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:52,590 I've been teaching the ILES exam for decades now, and really, it's up to you to be able to take course 100 00:07:52,590 --> 00:07:53,670 lecture notes. 101 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,140 If you don't take course lecture notes, you're going to forget. 102 00:07:58,940 --> 00:08:05,690 You're going to forget a lot of the information because once it's once it once I say it, it's gone. 103 00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:09,680 And you want to keep really good notes, just like you're in the classroom. 104 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:19,720 Also, it's very important that you immediately practice the strategies and tactics that we teach. 105 00:08:20,140 --> 00:08:26,440 When I teach you something and you see me apply it, then it's time for you to go practice doing the 106 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,010 strategy. 107 00:08:27,010 --> 00:08:28,300 Applying the strategy. 108 00:08:29,010 --> 00:08:31,920 Also after you've learned everything. 109 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,510 Make sure that you really simulate actual test conditions. 110 00:08:37,450 --> 00:08:46,210 I've heard so many students come to me and say, Well, in my reading practice, I'm able to get 35 111 00:08:46,210 --> 00:08:46,900 correct. 112 00:08:47,260 --> 00:08:50,740 But then when I go take the real exam, I'm only getting 25. 113 00:08:50,740 --> 00:08:51,400 Correct. 114 00:08:52,170 --> 00:08:58,920 What's wrong, and very often they're not simulating the actual test conditions, which is really, 115 00:08:58,920 --> 00:08:59,940 really important. 116 00:09:00,690 --> 00:09:03,270 Finally, not finally, but forth. 117 00:09:03,810 --> 00:09:11,190 If I explain a strategy or a tactic in the courts and you don't understand it, ask me questions to 118 00:09:11,190 --> 00:09:15,780 clarify and then finally create a study schedule. 119 00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:20,220 It's very, very important that you create a study schedule. 120 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,010 This is going to help you to be consistent. 121 00:09:23,550 --> 00:09:25,710 I can't create a schedule for you. 122 00:09:25,710 --> 00:09:32,880 Only you knew your only you know, your your time, your time commitments that you have only you know, 123 00:09:33,140 --> 00:09:38,250 you know, if you're only able to study on the weekend or during the week day, you have to be able 124 00:09:38,250 --> 00:09:42,060 to create your own study schedule and really, really stick to it. 125 00:09:47,270 --> 00:09:49,520 I'm your instructor, Keno Campbell. 126 00:09:50,150 --> 00:09:51,950 I designed this course. 127 00:09:51,950 --> 00:09:59,630 And you can see from these three parts that I am very, very well qualified to be able to teach you 128 00:09:59,690 --> 00:10:02,600 how to have success on the exam. 129 00:10:05,670 --> 00:10:14,070 Coming up next, you'll be able to look at our core syllabus, the academic syllabus and the general 130 00:10:14,070 --> 00:10:14,910 syllabus. 131 00:10:15,390 --> 00:10:18,690 If you have any questions along the way, please feel free to ask. 132 00:10:19,530 --> 00:10:22,020 Thanks for joining us and I'll talk to you soon.
