Live events

During the next six weeks we’ll organise a number of events to answer as many of your questions as we can.

Lots of you have similar questions about the IELTS test or about studying English in general and it isn’t always possible to answer every question asked on the course. That’s why we have other events where we can answer some of the most common questions.

Facebook live broadcast – THIS WEEK

We held our first Facebook live broadcast of the course this week where you had an opportunity to ask our educators your questions about the IELTS test and language learning.

The Facebook live broadcast was held on Wednesday, 6th February at 1.30pm UK time on the British Council LearnEnglish Facebook page.

Our educators answered some of your questions from the comments section below as well as your live questions during the broadcast.

If you don’t use Facebook or you couldn’t join us for the broadcast you can watch a video of the event on this step. You can also find a recording of the broadcast on Facebook here.

Below are links to resources that the educators mentioned and that you might find useful.
