IELTS Falsely Claim that they ‘Help’ People

IELTS’s official business partners run workshops that offer IELTS preparation instruction (IELTS,
2017g). These for-profit courses are available for purchase and do not offer volunteer ‘help’.
4.3 Pedagogical flaws
My prior research documented in Appendix 2 demonstrates the numerous obvious design flaws
that persist in the IELTS exam. I can gauge these flaws by inspecting official IELTS exam
preparation material published since 2006. IELTS completed its last major pedagogical review in
2005 (Taylor, 2005; Taylor & Weir, 2012). The logic that I use to discuss these flaws should be
clear to a lay audience.
