Abstract

The world-renowned international English test, the IELTS test, tests students’ comprehensive English language proficiency. Compared to some selective English language tests in China, the IELTS test has various aspects that are worth learning from it. In recent years, some English language tests in China have some shortcomings that still need to be improved to some extent, and the testing methods and concepts demonstrated in the IELTS test can make up for the shortcomings of Chinese English testing. This article aims to compare the IELTS with the Chinese English test in terms of exam organization and requirements, exam question types and content, and discuss the summary and inspiration for Chinese exams and education. The research results indicate that some testing concepts and methods in the IELTS exam are worth learning from in Chinese education. English language tests in China can also refer to its advantages to reform and optimize its own examination and education models, making the domestic examination system and education model more suitable for Chinese students. Practice has also proven that in some regions where the IELTS exam has been implemented, the education system has also been positively affected, and the educational effectiveness of students has also been significantly improved.
