Globalisation, technology, global mobility and the world economy are changing the spread and use of English. To remain at the forefront of these global changes, IELTS undertakes and commissions research from around the world. These research projects identify specific aspects of English language testing related to the IELTS test. Some of the research is conducted by the IELTS partners, while some is by independent academics with a specialisation in language assessment. This extensive research program helps to ensure that IELTS remains at the cutting-edge of English language testing. IELTS is committed to ongoing research to maintain its validity and reliability. For more details, see the Researchers section of the IELTS website.
