The first product from the test preparation series is designed to help Chinese students to prepare for writing the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) test. Over 2,500,000 people worldwide wrote the IELTS test in 2014 of which China had the largest number of participants, estimated at around 440,000. By the end of 2014, 150,000 Chinese students used IELTS results to apply for US institutions.

Working closely with Carnegie Speech and South China Normal University, the Company’s online IELTS test preparation product is specifically designed to address Chinese students’ weaknesses in the Writing and Speaking Sections of the IELTS test, of which the mean score for Chinese test-takers is 5.3 & 5.2 respectively. Chinese participants’ mean score of the 4 sections ranks number 6 from the bottom amongst all participating countries. Their Speaking scores rank bottom of the list for all worldwide rankings. A minimum score of 6.5 in each test section is required for acceptance by major Universities in the United States, United Kingdom & Canada.

''We are excited to enter one of the fastest growing sectors in China’s online education market,” said Ruby Hui, UMeWorld’s Executive Vice-President. “17Speech.com is an extension of our UMFun K12 platform, which addresses the increasing needs of Chinese K12 and post-secondary students to improve their English communications and achieve success in the global market.”

“Helping students improve their spoken English is Carnegie Speech’s passion,” stated Angela Kennedy, CEO of Carnegie Speech. “We are very happy to be working with UMeWorld and South China Normal University to bring this advanced speech recognition-based solution for spoken English assessment and training to the Chinese market.”

IELTS is a system for testing the language proficiency of individuals who need to study or work in an environment where English is the language of communication. IELTS is accepted by most British, Canadian, Australian, Irish, New Zealand and South African academic institutions. Over 3,000 academic institutions in the United States and various professional organizations across the world also accept IELTS. Successful completion of the IELTS test is now a requirement for people wishing to immigrate to Australia and New Zealand and is also accepted by immigration authorities in Canada.
