Improve Your IELTS Writing (Macmillan)<\/h3>\n<p>\u2018Improve Your IELTS Writing\u2019 is an older IELTS textbook, but we continue to recommend it to students who need specific help with their writing. The book is extremely thorough, and covers most of the different types of writing that IELTS students need to use. If you don\u2019t have enough time to take extra writing classes, \u2018Improve Your IELTS Writing\u2019 is ideal for self-study.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Minimum recommended IELTS score required to use: 5.0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. IELTS Introduction (Macmillan)<\/h3>\n<p>This textbook comes recommended for students who are able to communicate in English a little, but are not advanced enough for an intermediate textbook. \u2018IELTS Introduction\u2019 starts slowly, but by the end contains some very complex grammar and vocabulary. It is best used as a class book in group or 1 to 1 scenarios.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Minimum recommended IELTS score required to use: 4.0-5.0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. IELTS Foundation (Macmillan)<\/h3>\n<p>\u2018IELTS Foundation\u2019 is the traditional follow-up to \u2018IELTS Introduction\u2019 and has a varied range of topics, grammar and vocabulary to learn and study. Some of the grammar points can be quite difficult, but \u2018IELTS Foundation\u2019 explains them simply and clearly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Minimum recommended IELTS score required to use: 5.0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Speaking for IELTS (Collins)<\/h3>\n<p>\u2018Speaking for IELTS\u2019 is a relatively new addition to our recommended textbook list and its sections on pronunciation, in particular, are very useful if a student is looking to improve their fluency. The textbook comes with a CD featuring IELTS questions and sample answers, meaning that students can use it without a teacher. For the best results though, this book should be used in a class with lots of other students, as the best way to improve your speaking score is actually to speak!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Minimum recommended IELTS score required to use: 5.0, but more suitable for 6.0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>1. Objective IELTS Intermediate (Cambridge)<\/h3>\n<p>\u2018Objective IELTS Intermediate\u2019 is one of the few IELTS textbooks that never goes out of print. It contains many ideas which are not covered elsewhere, and the relationship between strategy and skills is well balanced, making clear what is required to get a high IELTS score. The book doesn\u2019t focus on too heavily on writing, but paired with something such as \u2018Improve Your IELTS Writing\u2019 students are well covered.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Minimum recommended IELTS score required to use: 4.5, but more suitable for 5.0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Study IELTS in London<\/h2>\n<p>The SI-UK Language Centre offer low cost\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gostudyin-dev.com\/study-in-uk\/language-prep\/\">IELTS preparation classes in central London<\/a> with no registration fees and all your materials provided.
