About Canadian high school ESL exam, online, etc ~

When applying for public high schools in Canada, domestic students do not need to provide IELTS or TOEFL scores, which leads to ESL courses. The so-called ESL course refers to a language course for students whose mother tongue is not English.

International freshmen will have an English proficiency test when they enter school. According to the test results, students' level is generally divided into five levels: A, B, C, D and E. What is the purpose of these five levels of courses?

A-level Elementary English Answering Course-The purpose is to help students english introduction and help them adapt to their new life.

B-level daily English course-Objective To increase students' common English vocabulary and learn classroom language.

Public English courses and assignments in C-level schools-Objective To improve students' ability to use English in all subjects.

D-level English learning skills-Objective To prepare for learning academic English and applying English.

E-level English bridging course-the purpose is to prepare for universities and colleges.

Compared with students who left ESL classes early, students who received ESL help and developed good English skills performed better in ordinary classes.

Research shows that it usually takes five years or more to master a foreign language academically. Leaving ESL class prematurely will bring pressure to students and may delay their progress.

ESL courses teach specialized English related to subjects such as mathematics, sociology and science. Learning from other ESL students can also help each student realize that they are facing the same difficulties as others.

While studying ESL language courses, students also take part in PE, art and music courses with lower requirements for English subjects with students of the same grade.

ESL scores do not depend on the final exam. Usually, ESL teachers will make a series of evaluation methods based on the teaching objectives of this semester, so as to get the final result. There are usually the following evaluation methods:

* Classroom observation

* Course participation

* Daily operation

:: Tests and examinations

* Check students' homework by sampling.

:: Participate in a project

:: Oral and written reports

* paragraph and composition writing

:: Group work

The school will send children's ESL report cards to parents or guardians three times a year in February, March and June. Grades usually consist of A, B, C+, C, C-, I and F. According to the grading standard of the British Columbia Department of Education, these letters represent the following scores:

A (86-100%) excellent

B(73-85%) Good

C+(67-72%) is above average.

C(60-66%) medium

C-(50-59%) passed.

I(0-49%) not completed (first and second semesters)

F(0-49%) failed (intermediate level)
