The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world’s most popular English language proficiency test
for higher education and global migration, with over 3 million tests taken in the last year. IELTS is designed to assess
the language ability of people who want to study or work where English is the language of communication. More than 10,000
organisations globally trust IELTS, so when you take the assessment you can be confident that it is recognised by educational
institutions, employers, governments and professional bodies around the world.

There are two IELTS formats: academic and general. IELTS ACADEMIC is designed for students applying for higher education
in an English speaking environment. It reflects the features of academic language and assesses whether you are ready to begin
studying or training. It is accepted by thousands of US universities, including Ivy League institutions, and most universities
in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK. (You may easily follow the link to find out the scores required by academic
institutions, so once your IELTS study and test is completed, your IELTS score can be matched with a chosen academic institution.)

OUR SEMINARS focus on IELTS ACADEMIC, and so the goal of these is to get students prepared and ready for the IELTS ACADEMIC TEST.
There si no such thing as a pass or fail in IELTS. Results are reported as band scores on a scale from 1 (the lowest-non user)
to 9 (the highest-expert user).

IELTS Seminar is offerred not just for the Law School students but for any Charles University student enrolled as a full
time student. Seminars are being run by PhDr. Martin Stary and Charles Bird, LL.M.

Language requirements for IELTS Academic II is at least B1(CEFR)/Intermediate-PET(Merit-Distinction)/FCE Cambridge English.
