On Wednesday 10th of January 2018, the English Program (EP) held  AU-IELTS  exam for EP-M4 students, a total 54 students, in the 9th floor Auditorium of the Assumption 2003 Building at Assumption College.

 

     For 8 years now, the English Program of Assumption College has been using the IELTS examination for all of our M6 students as a measurement of their English abilities before graduation. Having this goal in mind has helped our students aim for a higher level of English competency. 

​

     The AU-IELTS examination was organized by Assumption University. The purpose of this examination is for determining the overall level of students’ English abilities based on the 4 skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. The exam is divided into two phases:  the Morning Phase is a written exam which takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes (Listening - 30 minutes, Reading - 60 minutes, and Writing - 60 minutes) and the Afternoon Phase is a face to face Speaking interview with a foreign teacher, which takes about 10-15 minutes. Our students are trained in advanced skills by teachers who have excellent resources, including top quality texts, and a special IELTS preparation room with computer programs to support the students' training in all of the 4 skills.
