Do you have enough topic specific vocabulary to discuss the essay topics in depth. Can you  follow the listening or reading passages easily? Can you discuss the abstract topics in Speaking Part 3 with ease? If the answer to any of these questions is no, then you are probably interested in upgrading your vocabulary.

However, what is the best way to learn new lexis? And how much can you realistically learn in one month, or two, or six? That is what Nick and I will be discussing on this week's podcast! Join us as we  combine our experience teaching with the results of academic research to make learning vocabulary for IELTS as easy for you as we can.

2. discuss the role of translation in learning lexis
3. explain the direct and indirect methods of learning lexis
4. give clear examples of how you can use flashcards effectively
