Comprehending and understanding are very important. Understanding a foreign English accent is even more important. Imagine you are in a foreign country, and your communication is lacklustre. You are all at sea when it comes to understanding what people around you are saying. Most important is that you are unable to understand what the professor is saying in the classroom.
With IELTS training, your communication will be effective. You can understand their accent and learn proper pronunciation, and weed off any MTI(mother tongue influence). The removal of MTI would make your communication more effective.
