English Language Test for Studying in Canada-ESL

Canada is one of the countries that accept more foreign students. In view of the fact that the English proficiency of most applicants for studying abroad can't meet the requirements of high scores of TOEFL and IELTS, the Canadian government has taken a new measure, that is, the English training for international students is conducted in the host country, and the determined standard is not as high as TOEFL and IELTS, but it is completely suitable for the actual needs of international students living and studying in Canada. This is the Canadian English standard known as "English Match".

Canada is a country that accepts more foreign students. According to Canadian official statistics, 25, to 3, new immigrants have entered Canada every year in recent years. With the increase of China's reform and opening up and foreign exchanges, the number of students studying in Canada is increasing year by year. From the age of students studying in Canada, they tend to be younger, and many high school students and even junior high school students have joined this team.

This has caused a problem. More than half of the students who apply to study in Canada are not good at English, and they can't meet the requirements of high scores in TOEFL and IELTS. Therefore, quite a few people can't pass the visa. Even if you are admitted to some universities in Canada, you have to make up classes because of language problems. A test shows that according to the current English level of senior three students in China, if they want to enter Canada to study professional courses smoothly, they must make up language courses for one to two years. In other words, if the university graduates in four years, these China students will have to study for six years before they can graduate. This waste of time and money is a pity. In view of this situation, a few years ago, the Canadian government adopted a new measure, that is, the English training for international students should be conducted in the country where the students live. The standards set do not need to be as high as TOEFL and IELTS, but they are completely suitable for the actual needs of living and studying in Canada. This is the Canadian English standard called ESL.

this method was first implemented among Korean students, and it has achieved remarkable results in just a few years. With the "Yingsai" certificate, Korean students can hardly return their tickets when they apply for visas in Canada. As a result, the "Yingsai" certificate has won the reputation of "green channel" for visas in South Korea. In addition to South Korea, Taiwan Province in China has also promoted this method in recent years, which proves to be effective. Now, the Canadian government has authorized relevant departments to carry out this practice in Shanghai, which will provide many China students who are going to study in Canada with an opportunity to receive "English competition" training in China before studying in Canada, saving money and effort and getting twice the result with half the effort.

"English match" is abbreviated as ESL, and the full text of English is English as Second Language, that is, English as a second language course. The standards introduced for the training of international students in China are one of the more than 5 standards selected by the Canadian government.

people who enter Canada for long-term residence, if their mother tongue is not English, should undergo ESL training to achieve the ability to adapt to living and studying in Canada. "ESL" is divided into 8 levels. The corresponding relationship between TOEFL and the

English level taught in China University is roughly as follows:

Inset TOEFL China University Standard

Level 3, 42, Level 4

Level 4, 5, Level 6

Level 5, 55, Level 8

Level 6, 575

The program of reading "English Match" is about: planning. The Institute can register at the "English Competition" training center in Shanghai for closed study. After reaching the standard of "English Competition" level 4 or above, it can go to a preparatory college class specially designed for international students in Canada, learn one or two basic courses while learning the language, and accumulate credits.

You can refer to a website called ESL Harbor for ESL information on the Internet, which contains very comprehensive ESL information. When they reach Grade 5 or 6 of English Test, students can choose to transfer directly to the universities in Canada or the United States they want to go to, without any English test, and they can take the basic course credits they have already obtained.

The relevant departments authorized by the Canadian government have initially selected the cooperative units in Shanghai, and will officially enroll students abroad soon. Experts believe that students who want to study in Canada can save 1, to 2, yuan by spending one to two years training in Shanghai.

Some people think that students don't necessarily need to train English first. As long as they can go abroad and put them in an all-English environment,

natural language can pass. Experts believe that this view is naive, and they don't understand the laws of language learning. In fact, the process of learning a foreign language is different from that of learning a mother tongue. If students have a small English vocabulary, the whole English environment is of no use to students, because many things are simply incomprehensible, let alone attending professional courses in universities! Only when students master a considerable vocabulary, will entering the whole English environment be beneficial to listening and speaking. The most effective way for students with low English level is to help them learn a foreign language in their mother tongue.

Spending one to two years on English training in Shanghai will save 1,-2, RMB compared with attending English training schools in Canada. The account is calculated as follows: one year of English tuition in Canada, the living expenses plus tuition and miscellaneous fees are equivalent to about 12 thousand yuan, and if you study for two years in general, it is 24 thousand yuan; If you train in Shanghai, the annual cost is only 2 thousand yuan. In this way, the advantages and disadvantages are self-evident.
