New IELTS Listening Book from Fiona Aish and Jo Tomlinson of Target English

The new Listening for IELTS self study book written by Target English will be released in June 2011.

2011-04-03

LONDON, ENGLAND, April 03, 2011 (Press-News.org) June 2011 will see the release of a new series of self study IELTS books from HarperCollins. Each of the four books targets one of the four IELTS papers, listening, reading, writing and speaking, and provides a variety of exercises and exam practice designed specifically to improve students' scores. The great thing about the series is that students can target their weak areas in the test because each book focuses on one skill.

The Collins Listening for IELTS book of the series has been written by Fiona Aish and Jo Tomlinson from Target English. The book is topic based and contains 12 units. Each unit includes vocabulary development as well as exercises which concentrate on the specific question types and the techniques needed to answer them correctly. An added bonus is that each unit has a test practice section at the end and there is a full practice test in unit 12.

It can be difficult to find good listening material for IELTS as most material comes in a textbook which is designed to be used in a classroom rather than for self study, so students of English should be pleased to find Collins Listening for IELTS in book stores this summer. However, it's not just for self study as teachers will find it an invaluable resource for both one to one and group classes.
