A language certificate may be one of the entry requirements. To study with confidence, however, you also need to use the language in a range of real situations.
Practise reading material related to your chosen subject, noting important words and explaining the main ideas in your own words. This habit builds both vocabulary and academic thinking skills.
For listening practice, start with material suited to your level and gradually increase the difficulty. Take notes on the main ideas, go back over anything you did not understand and practise listening to different accents.
Create regular opportunities to speak: discuss a topic, share an opinion or briefly explain an issue. Making mistakes is part of learning, and specific feedback helps you improve.
Establish a regular study schedule and adjust it as you progress. If you need guidance, discuss your goals, preparation time and current level with Greatlink.
