Legacy Link – IELTS Course

ECE English introduces our comprehensive IELTS course, covering all four skills—Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. Our curriculum is tailored to each student’s individual proficiency, helping them significantly improve their scores and feel fully prepared for the challenging IELTS exam.

To accommodate all learning needs, ECE offers two flexible study formats: Offline (in-person classes at our three centers) and Online (100% live via Zoom), ensuring consistent teaching quality across both platforms.

What is an IELTS Foundation course?

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is a prestigious, globally recognized English proficiency certification that comprehensively evaluates four skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing.

In Vietnam specifically, over 100 universities and educational institutions now accept IELTS scores for English credit exemptions or direct admission, highlighting its critical importance for both education and career opportunities.

The IELTS Foundation course is designed for beginners or those with a limited English background who want to familiarize themselves with the IELTS exam and build a solid foundation. This course focuses on providing essential grammar, core vocabulary, and fundamental test-taking skills for all four sections.

Simply put, this is an introductory course that helps you get acquainted with the IELTS format and build your language base from the ground up. Instead of diving straight into complex test strategies or requiring an advanced level of English, the foundation course focuses on the most essential building blocks.

You will be introduced in detail to the IELTS exam structure (covering Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing), common question types for each section, and how to adapt to the testing environment. Simultaneously, the course will help you reinforce your grammar (tenses, common sentence structures, etc.), build a foundational vocabulary based on familiar IELTS topics, and practice standard pronunciation.

The primary goal of this course is to give you a clear overview of the exam so you feel confident rather than overwhelmed when encountering different task types. It equips you with the initial English knowledge and skills needed to effectively progress to higher band scores. By the end of this stage, you will typically achieve your first band score, serving as a springboard for your future goals.

Once you have built a solid foundation through our introductory program (typically aiming for an Overall band of 3.0 – 5.0+), or if you already possess a certain level of English, ECE will accompany you through subsequent stages on your journey to your dream band score. The IELTS study path at ECE is clearly structured and closely aligned with each student’s target score:

  • IELTS Foundation (0 – 4.0 Overall): Building a primary foundation and familiarizing yourself with the exam format.
  • IELTS Basic (4.0 – 5.0 Overall): Developing core skills and getting comfortable with common question types.
  • IELTS Intermediate (5.0 – 6.0 Overall): Enhancing skills, expanding vocabulary, and practicing techniques for more complex tasks.
  • IELTS Hi-Intermediate (6.0 – 6.5+ Overall): Focusing on advanced language use and breakthrough strategies to achieve a solid band score.
  • IELTS Advanced (6.5 – 7.5+ Overall): Specializing in Writing and Speaking, mastering difficult tasks, and optimizing scores for high-level goals.

The detailed roadmap for each level is scientifically designed to focus on the comprehensive development of all 4 skills and equip you with effective test-taking strategies, based on your placement test results and specific goals.

Flexible Learning Options at ECE

At ECE, you can choose the learning format that best fits your circumstances and schedule while ensuring the highest quality of training.

1. Offline IELTS Course (In-person)

This is our traditional learning format, where you attend classes directly at one of ECE’s three modern facilities in Hanoi.

  • Benefits: Direct interaction and high energy with teachers and peers.
  • Experience: Full access to our facilities, especially our computer-based IELTS mock test system, which 100% simulates the real exam environment to help you get used to test-day pressure.
  • Suitable for: Students in Hanoi who prefer high interaction and classroom discipline.

2. Online IELTS Course (Live via Zoom)

Are you busy, living far from our centers, or simply prefer the convenience of learning from home? Don’t let geographical distance hinder your IELTS goals!

ECE offers a comprehensive Online IELTS program, providing a flexible learning solution that maintains the same quality and interaction as our in-person classes, with a 10% tuition discount compared to offline courses.

The Online IELTS program at ECE is designed with superior advantages, ensuring an experience and learning quality that is 100% equivalent to our offline classes.

These are “Live” classes – Not pre-recorded videos

This is ECE’s biggest differentiator. You will NOT learn through pre-recorded lectures or study alone. Instead, you will join a LIVE class with an 8.0+ IELTS instructor and other students via Zoom at a fixed time.

  • Real-time interaction: You can listen to lectures, ask questions, and get immediate answers from the teacher, just like sitting in a physical classroom.
  • Live feedback: Teachers will call on you to speak, correct your pronunciation, review your Writing, go over Reading exercises, and organize group discussions (breakout rooms), just like in an offline class.
  • Maintain discipline: Following a fixed schedule helps you stay disciplined and motivated by your teacher and peers, avoiding the procrastination common with self-study.

Two flexible Online learning formats – Maximum interaction

ECE offers 2 authentic online learning options, allowing you to choose the one that suits you best:

  1. Hybrid Class (Offline & Online combined): You join the class via Zoom simultaneously with students physically present at the ECE center. You are immersed in the vibrant classroom atmosphere and receive parallel interaction from the teacher.
  2. 100% Online Class (Zoom only): This class is designed exclusively for online students with smaller class sizes. The teacher’s focus is 100% optimized for the Zoom platform.

Consistent teacher quality and curriculum

Learning online doesn’t mean you have to settle for lower quality. At ECE, you will learn directly from the same team of 8.0+ IELTS instructors who teach our offline classes—including specialized sessions with Ms. Nuong Doan—following ECE’s exclusive curriculum and roadmap.

Maximum support (Recordings & Support)

  • Receive recordings after class: ECE provides recordings of every “live” session. This is a powerful tool for reviewing knowledge or catching up if you happen to miss a class.
  • Output commitment: The online program still applies the same transparent output commitment policy as our offline courses.
