Abstract

IELTS as a testing system has been the platform that promotes immigration of people from non-English speaking countries to English speaking countries like the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Amidst the other testing systems in existence currently, such as the TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language internet-based test), OET (Occupational English Test), PTE-A (Pearson Test of English Academic), CAE (Cambridge English: Advanced) and Canada-specific testing systems, IELTS has a reputation around the world as it has provided the testing service for decades earlier in comparison to these relatively new testing systems that have emerged with the times. This article explores the history of IELTS and its relevance in the Indian market along with an introduction to the other testing systems in existence.
