3 The teachers encouraged me to keep studying. When I struggled with studying or living in Australia, they were helpful and warm. IELI C C Organised IELI starts at a beginner level and helps students build their English ability step by step. Each level teaches new language skills and gives students plenty of practice and feedback to help them use new structures and expressions. Focussed At IELI you will be placed separately by skill area (reading and writing, listening, and speaking). For example, if your speaking is better than your writing, you will be placed in a higher level speaking class and a lower level writing class. You can challenge yourself to improve in your strong areas and get some extra help to improve in your weak areas. Balanced The IELI curriculum will help you become more fl uent in English as well as focussing on pronunciation, accuracy, and organisational structure. This balance between many aspects of English will help you reach the highest possible standard of English for your success in the future. Challenging The IELI curriculum is not easy. You will be expected to work hard, to ask questions, and to take every opportunity to use and improve your language skills. You will work together with the teacher and other students so that you can reach your goals as quickly as possible. Individualised IELI knows that all students are different, so IELI provides daily elective classes. Elective activities provide opportunities to communicate informally while discussing culture, playing sport or creating a newsletter. They also offer an opportunity for students to take specifi c classes including pronunciation, key grammar areas, business skills and IELTS. ielicity.sa.edu.au All quotes are from student exit surveys. 3
