Looking to give your students (and yourself!) a fresh boost as we head into the new year? We’re excited to share a brand-new set of free IELTS teacher resources from the British Council for teachers who want ready-to-use materials that make a difference in the classroom.
Why Writing Task 1 matters for academic writing
Writing Task 1 can feel like a hurdle for many students, especially when they’re just stepping into academic writing for the first time. They’re expected to look at a graph, table, chart, or diagram and turn it into a clear, well-structured summary of the key information. That means spotting trends, and avoiding getting lost in the tiny details—a skill that takes practice, guidance, and good modelling.
What’s included in the New IELTS resource pack
For better IELTS preparation, this new pack includes:
- a set of graphs for students to analyse
- three worksheets that walk them through selecting key features
- practical guidance on IELTS writing task overview
Start the teaching cycle strong
Heading into a new teaching cycle, now is the right time to integrate consistent Writing Task 1 practice into your students’ learning. A bit of regular practice goes a long way—helping students boost their IELTS scores and build stronger academic writing skills.
Get your students ready for the year ahead with confidence—these free resources make it easy to get ahead and guide them toward their IELTS goals. And if you’re looking for even more support, don’t forget to explore our full collection of IELTS preparation resources.
