Part 1 Introduction
1.1 Objective
This report pursues three objectives. The first goal aims to provide a fair and constructive critique
of the pedagogical design of the Academic and General versions of the International English
Language Testing System (IELTS) exam. The second objective evaluates whether the business
practices of the IELTS consortium are ethical and fair. The third purpose examines whether the
IELTS consortium willfully and persistently violate domestic and international law on a massive
global scale to accrue maximum economic gain from fraud, racketeering and extortion crimes.
The scope of this review excludes an evaluation of the business practices of official IELTS business
partners such as colleges and universities who manage IELTS test centers as profit-maximization
ventures. IELTS’s business partners are required to conform to numerous strict terms and
conditions of their service contract as defined by the IELTS consortium. The market power of any
one college or university that administers an IELTS test center is dwarfed by the colossal political
and economic collective global power of the IELTS consortium. It is fair to assume that corrupt
business practices that occur at IELTS’s outposts mirror policy directives of the IELTS syndicate.
