Overview

Practise and improve your speaking skills for PTE Academic.

In this course, we will analyse sample responses from the speaking section of PTE Academic based on oral fluency, content and pronunciation to show how understanding these can lead to success.

In addition to having frequent opportunities to interact with other learners and practise each of the item types, you will develop knowledge of grammar and vocabulary relevant to PTE Academic.

You will build self-assessment skills to identify areas of improvement in your own responses and succeed in your test.

The course has been designed for people who wish to improve their speaking score in PTE Academic, specifically for those aiming to meet university entry requirements. However, it is also useful for people who need to improve their speaking score for immigration or employment purposes.
