AMMAN – Talal
Abu-Ghazaleh Knowledge Forum (TAG-KF), a member of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global
(TAG.Global), has held an introductory session on the International English Language
Testing System (IELTS) test for a group of participants, in cooperation with
the British Council in Amman.

During the
session, Council specialists, briefed the participants on the test and its four
sections (reading, writing, speaking, and listening), in addition to a range of
tips and advices for those who may register for training courses or just sit
for the test.

The International
English Language Testing System (IELTS) is an international standardized test
of English language proficiency for non- English language speakers. It is
trusted by governments, employers, and thousands of universities in the United
States of America, in addition to a large number of universities, educational
institutions, and government departments in more than 140 countries.

More than 3.5
million people take the test every year for various reasons; mainly to study
basic and higher studies, particularly in British and Australian universities
and centers, where the exam is accepted globally as a measurement of English
proficiency, in addition to those eager to take non-academic courses or just
for immigration purposes.

To this end,
TAG-KF and the British Council agreed to continue organizing and holding such
introductory sessions in response to the ongoing need of young people for such
sessions, especially for high school students and those planning to apply for
scholarships or higher education certificates.
