Abstract

According to the study abroad data released by the Ministry of Education, the number of students studying abroad in China continues to increase every year and has reached 703,500 in 2019. Chinese students have to pass the IELTS test and reach the standard scores universities request to study abroad.

This study aims at analyzing Chinese students’ performance in international English tests. IELTS test, which comprises listening, reading, writing, and speaking, is an example. Chinese are familiar with the reading and listening test format during a long-period time of studying. Skillful approaches they summarized can be used in IELTS reading and listening tests which help Chinese students to get relatively high scores.

As for the writing and speaking part, Chinese students are less likely to achieve a high score due to the inadequacy of English knowledge and the imperfection of the education system. This study suggests there is a long way to go. Not only students themselves, but also teachers and policymakers should make efforts to improve Chinese students’ performance in IELTS writing and speaking.
