Just joined? Catch up on Week 1
-------------------------------

We hope you enjoyed the first week of the course. If you=E2=80=99ve just=0D
joined, you can easily catch up by checking out last week=E2=80=99s Video
Review=20
( https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/understanding-ielts-speaking/3/steps/=
782315 )
 which gives a short summary of some of the main talking points!

Week 2
------

Giving a talk in any language can be quite difficult. It can be
even more difficult if you have to do it in English, when English
isn=E2=80=99t your first language! This week we focus is on Part 2 of the
Speaking test, so giving a short talk in English is something
you=E2=80=99re going to practise.
You=E2=80=99ll be given the chance to record yourself, listen to other=0D
learners=E2=80=99 recordings and write feedback for them in the comments.
We=E2=80=99ll also be discussing how to plan a successful talk, and look=0D
at the examiner=E2=80=99s assessment criteria for grammar and
pronunciation.

As usual, we=E2=80=99ll be reading your comments and answering your
questions. You can find out what we=E2=80=99re saying by following all of
us if you haven=E2=80=99t done that already. Find links to our profiles=0D
on Step 1.3=20
( https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/understanding-ielts-speaking/3/steps/=

.

Invite your friends
-------------------

You can still invite others to join you, as the course is open
for enrolment right up until the last day. Your friends and
colleagues can enrol by visiting the course page on FutureLearn=20
( https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/understanding-ielts-speaking )

We are really looking forward to hearing how you feel about
speaking English, so let=E2=80=99s get started!

 It can be even more difficult if you have to do it in English, when Englis=

 Speaking test, so giving a short talk in English is something you=E2=80=99=
re going to practise.
You=E2=80=99ll be given the chance to record yourself, listen to other lear=
ners=E2=80=99 recordings and write feedback for them in the comments. We=E2=
=80=99ll also be discussing how to plan a successful talk, and look at the =
examiner=E2=80=99s assessment criteria for grammar and pronunciation.</p>
