Should Canadian immigrants take IELTS or TOEFL?

IELTS is not only recognized and preferred by 65,438+0,000% of Canadian universities, but also used by the Canadian Immigration Bureau as an important proof to measure the English ability of its immigrant applicants. In addition, IELTS is the only language test recognized by China-Canada Student Cooperation Program (SPP) and Learning Implant Program (SDS).

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is one of the famous international English standardized proficiency tests. The IELTS test was established in 1989 and is jointly managed by the British Council for Cultural Education, the Cambridge University Examinations Board and the Australian Education International Development Agency (IDP).

Adhering to the concept of "communication-oriented", IELTS is the first international test in the world to comprehensively evaluate English proficiency from four aspects: listening, speaking, reading and writing, which can accurately evaluate candidates' English language proficiency in a three-dimensional, comprehensive way.

1, IELTS scoring criteria include: fluency and coherence of language, vocabulary conversion, sentence richness and grammatical accuracy. The examiners of the phonetic IELTS are graded according to these four grading standards, which are equally important.

2. The recruitment and training of IELTS writing and speaking examiners should be conducted according to the established standards, so as to ensure that raters understand the IELTS scoring policy and effectively grade listening and reading papers according to the scoring standards. Each test center will carry out system monitoring, and a certain proportion of answer sheets will be double-marked. In addition to continuously monitoring the performance of examiners, examiners will be evaluated every other year to ensure that they are graded according to the standards.

3. All test scores are recorded on the report card, including a total score and four individual scores of listening, reading, writing and speaking. Candidates' test scores are assessed by the scoring system of 1-9, with four independent scores. The total score is the average of the scores of the four parts, rounded off. The total score is allowed to be half, and the individual score is allowed to be four.
