#Misconceptions #Speaking

1. You must use “big words” ⛔️

This is perhaps the most common false belief. When my students think about the IELTS Academic test, they automatically assume that they always have to use academic words. They may think the secret is “the stranger, longer and more complicated the words they use, the higher the band score they get”.

This can’t be further from the truth. As we can see from the above example, the use of “formal” words unnaturally forced into responses can lead to complete confusion and unintelligible answers. This is because, despite knowing the meaning of the words, students often are unaware of how they should be used – things like style or connotations. In fact, speakers are even advised to “mix it up” – having a balance between common and less common vocabulary, and to study new words in context.

The Truth: Using “big words” doesn’t guarantee a high band score – it is using words precisely, flexibly and appropriately that does.

My personal take: Using 'fancy vocabulary' unnaturally is still a major issue among lower-level candidates in Uzbekistan. What students may not realize is that examiners can easily distinguish between natural and memorized language used solely for the test. On your test day, try to be yourself and aim to communicate your ideas as clearly as possible using words that you are completely confident with.

2. You must have a British or American accent ⛔️

It is so funny how I, as a non-native speaker, used to be fooled by this. When I was a student, I was taught that I had to both pronounce words correctly and sound American or British. Often, teachers use native pronunciation as a benchmark to evaluate students. No wonder why they think they also have to adopt the accent as well.

The fact is, accent is not an evaluation criterion. Although accent is a part of pronunciation, it is not everything. Pronunciation features include other things such as intonation, sentence stress and individual sounds that, if done correctly, can allow students to be clearly understood. And being easy to understand is what the examiner is looking for.

The Truth: Any accent is acceptable as long as test takers are intelligible.

My personal take: I completely agree with the point about having a particular accent. In general, imitating native speakers and adopting a British, American, (or Australian, for that matter) accent is acceptable, but one must have the language skills to back it up. Accent alone is not enough to guarantee a high score. In fact, exaggerating an accent without proper language proficiency might even backfire.
