One fundamental requirement for a good score in IELTS - or any other complex English language test - is the possession of a well-developed vocabulary. This is not at all surprising; teachers and students alike instinctively know when it is the lack of words that is holding back progress.
First and foremost, a chosen word must be right for its purpose. Finding the right word or phrase can be frustrating at times for native English speakers, but English language learners are disadvantaged by being unable to hear if their choice is appropriate. Something else must suffice and that can really only be targeted practice.
Secondly, if its acquisition is to be of any real value, a new word or phrase must be familiar within a variety of contexts. Keith's Method achieves both aims; that of acquisition and correct application. With regular study a student's word bank will quickly enlarge, and the vocabulary will belong where it is used - all in the shortest a.mount oftime. The Method is in three parts; it is simple to apply, and it works. Try it and see.
