We summarized salient linguistic features of learners mainly from Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland based on data from the corpus. The features from four aspects (fluency and coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation) are quite different among speakers with different IELTS speaking band scores. English teachers are strongly encouraged to know their students' difficulties in English speaking, set their focus on teaching speaking and design teaching materials based on our summary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
