English Language and Communication Skills
Learning a language involves mastering its grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and writing system. It's about understanding the structure and rules of the language. On the other hand, learning to communicate in a language involves using it effectively to convey ideas, express emotions, and interact with others. Communication encompasses not just linguistic elements but also cultural nuances, body language, and social context. So, while learning a language provides the foundation, learning to communicate involves applying that knowledge in real-life situations to effectively convey and receive messages.

International English Language Testing System (IELTS). There are other English language tests available, but IELTS is the most recognized, and it's the one I recommend.
IELTS is one of the most recognized English language tests around the world. There are four parts: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
There are two qualifications:
Academic test
If you want to study an undergraduate or postgraduate course in a British university or college.
General Training test
If you want to study below degree level, work or undertake work-related training in an English-speaking country, or migrate to an English-speaking country.
The test takes two hours and forty-five minutes to complete. You can check on the IELTS website to find out where you can sit it in your home country.
After completing the IELTS test, you receive a band score between 1 and 9 (9 being the highest).
