Every week, I received an email with a link to some resources for working on areas to develop Advanced students' speaking skills.
On the site, you can find 26 Get Speaking Task Sheets, working on different topic and functional areas. (You only get access to the Task Sheet being emailed that particular week). You can see some of the areas covered below:
In Task 5, as well as talking about role models, the task sheet suggests a range of expressions to agree and disagree.
In Task 6, expressions for thinking out loud are considered and provided.
So, when I received an email from Splendid Speaking on Saturday telling me about a new website for IELTS Speaking, I clicked on the link and discovered some great stuff.
In the free Weekly Vocabulary Practice, holidays and relationships have been covered so far.
And the resource that I really liked and found quite novel is the Five Minute Functions.
To date, there are two videos - Using fillers and Expressing likes and dislikes. You can watch them on the IELTS Speaking website or on Youtube.
I would say that it's definitely a site to bookmark and revisit.
Hi Anne
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the review of the site. Really pleased to hear you find it useful. There are now several lessons for each section so hopefully more resources you'll be able to make use of.
Best wishes

Thanks to you Peter for all the great materials you're producing. I am subscribed to your Splendid Speaking Newsletter, and when it arrives, I make a point of checking out the new materials on the ielts.co.uk site and the youtube videos. Most useful for working on language and speaking at C1 level.
