回復「戰雅思」可得到更多屠鴨裝備
via 鴨圈
近期雅思官方出了新款的雅思成績單,其中有了一個新分數—CEFR. 這是個什麼東西?為什麼在Overall 的分數後面還有一個這玩意?它代表啥?對移民或者入學有影響麼?
不用緊張,主頁君來跟大家一一解答。
這就是傳說中的新款雅思成績單。大家可以看到,在overall後面多了一個CEFR Level(用紅圈標出)。所謂CEFR,全稱是Common European Framework of Reference. CEFR的打分方式有 A1, A 2, B1, B2, C1, C2. CEFR和IELTS的關聯詳見下圖:
這個標準可以說,只是不同英語考試的一個成績關聯而已。就好比,IELTS和CAE的成績沒法轉換,那麼大家都同時轉換到CEFR,英語程度也就清晰不少了。
官方有些FAQ,鴨圈都一一給大家做個解釋。
Q: Has the IELTS test changed?
A: No, the test has not been changed.
Q: Has IELTS been made more difficult?
A: No, the test has not changed. The way it is examined and the way band scores are awarded remain the same.
註解: 雅思考試的內容和評分標準並沒有因為CEFR Level而改變。所以大家完全不用擔心,只需正常的備考即可。
Q: Why is IELTS changing the way the band scores relate to the CEFR?
A: We have always been committed to providing ongoing revision as we grow in our understanding of the relationship between IETLS, other examinations and the CEFR levels.
註解:由此可見,CEFR level 只是不同考試之間的一種轉換中介。對於烤鴨們本身的備考並沒有任何的影響。
Q: Should institutions and organisations which use IELTS scores change the band scores they expect students to achieve as a result of the revised CEFR mapping?
A: The test has not changed and the performance represented by each band score remains the same. There is no need for institutions to make changes where they have previously been satisfied with their particular score requirements.
Q: Should institutions and organisations that offer English courses to prepare students for university study, or to facilitate university study, change the format, content or level of their courses?
A: No. Nothing within the test content has changed.
註解:由此看來,官方都說,雅思成績並不會有任何的變化,無論是入學,還是籤證,都還是以單項成績和總成績為主。所以烤鴨們完全不用擔心哦!~
