Hello.

In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to improve and develop your IELTS speaking at home.

So many students tell me that they cannot improve their English because they don't have a foreigner to talk to.

So, I want to show you that it is possible to improve your speaking at home on your own for free.

Now the first thing I want you to do is to get a list of topics.

The common topics for Speaking Part 1 Speaking part two and speaking part three.

If you cannot find a list, please go to my IELTS blog.

www .ieltsliz .com And you will find a list of common topics,

difficult topics, and the questions as well.

So, you need to get a list of these topics and develop ideas.

I don't want you to write down your answers.

I want you only to develop the ideas.

So, for example, if the topic is the topic of weather, you can develop ideas about the kind of weather you like.

What you do when the weather is like that.

Also, how the weather makes you feel, different kinds of weather.

Or maybe the transportation problems that come because of that weather.

So, just develop ideas that you can use for that topic.

The next thing, number two, is a word list, so vocabulary.

If you have the topic of weather, you need to have a range of vocabulary for that topic.

So for example, hot weather.

"Hot" is a very low band score.

But you could use boiling.

scorching, sweltering.

There's a whole range of vocabulary that you can build to impress the examiner for that topic.

So you need to get that list of vocabulary and learn it.

So Number three, your next step to developing your speaking.

Get the topic, weather.

Choose probably about, let's say, six questions for that topic.

Take your telephone. And...

Answer the questions recording your voice.

It's very important that you do the recording rather than writing the answer.

When you write answers, Usually, you think more about the grammar, You think more about the vocabulary,

and often you make less mistakes.

When you speak, it's direct.

So when you record your answer, This gives you a chance to find your weaknesses.

Finding your weaknesses is very important so that you can improve.

So you need to record your answers to those questions on your phone.

After that I want you to listen to your answers.

Listen and check.

Now, there are four things that I want you to check for.

I want you to check for fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.

This is what the examiner will check you on.

Now, each one in the exam is 25 % of your marks.

So they're all equal, they are all very important.

And the examiner is going to check your answer for each one.

Now let's have a look at what you need to check for each one.

Fluency.

What does that mean?

Well, the first thing that you need to check is...

The length of your answer.

Thank you.

Did you give a very short answer or could you develop it a little bit more?

When you develop your answer a little bit more, That is a higher band score.

You're offering the examiner more language, but you're showing the ability to speak fluently.

So, develop your answer more, higher band score.

Yeah.

Another thing that you can check for your fluency is how many times you say Uh...

Uh...

These are hesitations and we don't want hesitations in our answer.

So you need to check how many "um" How many ahs?

that you have.

If you have a lot, That's a problem, I'm afraid.

And you need to find a way to practice more so that you get rid of The ums and as.

So we've got the length of answer and the ums and errs.

Another thing that you can check for fluency is how many times you are silent.

Often, when students start speaking, They can't remember what they want to say.

and suddenly they stop.

It is not good to stop and be silent in the middle of your answer.

You need to fill it.

You need to keep speaking naturally with a good flow.

and that will give you a good band score.

So, those are three things that you can check in your answer for your fluency.

- Thank you.

Now the next thing is vocabulary.

What do we need to check?

in the vocabulary for your answer.

Well obviously the first thing is the range.

And the range means how many different words are you using?

I'll give you an example, so paraphrasing.

- Thank you.

Are you repeating the same words again and again Or are you using different words?

to describe the same thing So, again, we use the example of hot, you could say boiling, scorching, "Sweltering".

Those are three different words that we can use for the meaning of hot.

So, you need to show a good range of vocabulary.

That's from your word list.

And you need to paraphrase and show the ability to use different words for the same meaning.

When you paraphrase well, you are looking at band score 7 and band score 8.

Another thing you can look at with the vocabulary, of course, Uh...

Thank you.

mistakes.

Now one way that you can check your mistakes is by when you listen to your answer.

Listen and write down the words that you say.

That way you can check more carefully if you're making any mistakes with words.

Are you using the wrong word?

Are you using the wrong noun with the verb?

What problems do you have?

So check that in your answer.

Another thing to look at of course, grammar.

And with grammar, you need to check again.

100

the range.

101

So for example the range of tenses.

102

Are you giving only present simple?

103

Now, I know maybe the six questions that you have are present simple questions.

104

But that doesn't mean that you can't give another tense.

105

So, for example, what kind of weather do you like?

106

I just love hot weather, scorching weather.

107

Last week it was perfect.

108

So it was a present simple question.

109

But I gave a little bit of past simple in the answer.

110

So, you can practise doing that and develop the technique of putting different tenses into your answer.

111

Another thing you can look at is sentence...

112

structure.

113

And that means how complex are your sentences.

114

Are you using a lot of short sentences?

115

So, don't forget, listen to your answer, write down the words that you're using, And then check how complex the sentences are.

116

You can perhaps start using some linkers.

117

I'll start extending the sentences And of course, another thing for grammar, again, are Thank you.

118

Mistakes.

119

This is very important.

120

The more mistakes you make, the lower your band score will be.

121

So, remember that the examiner is listening for mistakes with vocabulary and grammar.

122

So, please check what mistakes you're making and correct them and practice.

123

And of course, the last one is pronunciation.

124

So what is the examiner looking for pronunciation?

125

Well, the first one of course is Word pronunciation.

126

Are you pronouncing those words correctly.

127

If you're not sure about that You can go online.

128

There are free dictionaries online so that you can listen to the pronunciation of the word.

129

So check that and make sure your words are correct.

130

Another thing.

131

are individual sounds So for example: "sh, s, ch".

132

Are you pronouncing these sounds correctly?

133

And again, you can find practice online for that.

134

And one other thing for pronunciation.

135

Thank you. is Intonation.

136

Intonation is If your voice is going up and down,

137

or if you are speaking like this If you're speaking very flat, This is not good for your band score.

138

You need to learn to use

139

intonation in your voice We often use intonation to make something more interesting or to show when something is important.

140

So you can practice that at home and try to improve it.

141

Now, the last part, the last thing, once you have Got your topics and your ideas?

142

You've got your vocabulary for the topic, you have your questions and you record them, you listen You check your answer.

143

Don't forget you can write down the answer to check what you say.

144

Write down the words you're using.

145

Check your fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.

146

And then After that, practice practice and practice.

147

Find your weakness, Get rid of your weakness.

148

Improve your strength.

149

You can practice and record again.

150

Don't forget to keep recording your voice.

151

Keep recording your answers.

152

Get used to that.

153

I know it can feel uncomfortable to sit in a room alone and record but really It's good practice.

154

You need to do it.

155

Right, well, that's all for this lesson.

156

I really hope that you practice this At home.

157

Honestly, the more you practice, the better your IELTS will be, particularly if you check your answers correctly.

158

Well, keep practicing.

159

Good luck, and I'll see you in another IELTS lesson.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
