Learn English sustainably with IELTS Mentor

Alarming situation: IELTS 7.0+ but still poor at school!

According to Ms. Loan, a high school teacher in Thanh Tri district, Hanoi , in the recent test, the test of a male student with IELTS 7.0 only got 4 points.

Ms. Ha Thu Nguyet said that her son has an IELTS score of 8.0, however, when he went to study abroad in the US, he was at the top of the "stuttering" level in English communication, was afraid to communicate because it was difficult to interact with classmates and teachers, and could not even understand the entire conversation.

This situation has raised concerns about whether IELTS certificates really demonstrate good English language ability.

A high IELTS score does not mean good English ability

According to IELTS Mentor, there are 3 main reasons for this:

The main reason is the difference in the requirements of the IELTS test and the general English test. IELTS assesses the ability to use English in learning and working situations based on 4 criteria: Listening, speaking, reading, writing according to international standards. Meanwhile, the general English test focuses on grammar, vocabulary and basic knowledge.

The second reason is that most IELTS test preparation classes today focus on practicing skills to deal with different types of questions, which cannot be applied to real life, causing many students to fall into a state of "lopsided learning" and "trick learning".

The third reason comes from the subjective side of the students. Many students become subjective and stop practicing English as soon as they have achieved their IELTS score target.

This not only makes students lose confidence when using this language in real life but also indirectly reduces the value of the IELTS certificate. According to a report by Hanoi National University in 2023, about 25% of students entering with an IELTS score of 6.5 or higher face difficulties when not following the English-taught program at the school.

Sustainable English Learning - the Key to Success

In essence, learning English is not just about getting an IELTS certificate but about using the language in every aspect of life. Learning English should be built on a solid foundation:

Practice and improve continuously

Learning English is a long-term process. Students need to continue to practice and improve even after achieving their desired IELTS score. Sustainable learning helps them maintain and develop their language skills.

Applying English to every aspect of life

An important element of learning English is the ability to apply it to real-life situations. Therefore, regularly applying English in daily communication, presentations, group discussions, etc. not only helps students achieve better academic results but also equips them with the necessary skills to succeed in an international working environment where English is the main language.
