Can I get a diploma without taking IELTS in the 3 1 project of Guizhou Normal University?

1, TOEFL:

TOEFL is an English proficiency test organized by educational testing service (ETS). Its full name is "English proficiency test for non-native English speakers" and its Chinese transliteration is "TOEFL".

So far, there are more than 2,300 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. It is stipulated that all foreign students applying for admission must provide one or two standardized tests in T0EFL, GRE, GMAT or TSE. Only applicants who have achieved the required grades can get admission and apply for scholarships. In addition to universities in most countries such as the United States and Canada, some countries and regions in Europe (such as Britain), Oceania (such as Australia and New Zealand) and Southeast Asia also recognize TOEFL scores. In recent years, domestic organizations of the United Nations in China, foreign companies and joint ventures have also adopted TOEFL test scores when hiring staff or when testing the English level of staff at the International Fund.

2. IELTS:

IELTS, the full name of International English Language Testing System, mbth International English Language Testing System, is jointly managed by the Foreign Language Testing Department of Cambridge University Examinations Committee, the British Council and IDP Education Group. This is an English proficiency test for those who intend to study, work or settle in English-speaking countries.

IELTS has been recognized by 0/00% universities in Britain, Australia and Canada, and it is also a proof of the language ability of skilled immigrant visa application in these three countries. Among them, IELTS is the only recognized language test in the application of China-Canada Student Cooperation Program (SPP) and Learning Implant Program (SDS). In Hong Kong, many universities subsidize recent graduates to take the IELTS test. In the comprehensive recruitment of civil servants in Hong Kong, IELTS is regarded as a proof of English language ability. In addition, IELTS score is also one of the recruitment conditions for many companies in Hong Kong. IELTS is also the preferred English language proficiency certificate for some college English teaching programs in Malaysia, Singapore, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland and other countries.

Second, the difference between IELTS and TOEFL

On the surface, IELTS is suitable for students from Commonwealth countries (Britain, Australia, New Zealand, etc.). ). It is divided into Class A and Class G. Students studying abroad go to Class A and immigrants go to Class G. TOEFL candidates generally go to the United States and Canada and can only be used to apply for studying abroad. But now most colleges and universities, IELTS and TOEFL scores are recognized. IELTS and TOEFL scores are interchangeable. For example, a TOEFL score of 95 is equivalent to an IELTS score of 6.5.

Both of them are English tests, but after careful study, you will find that there are still many differences.

IELTS and TOEFL listening, speaking, reading and writing are all free. But TOEFL is more positive about students' vocabulary and strong listening ability. The reason is because, besides listening, TOEFL speaking and writing are related to listening. If your hearing is not good, it is not recommended to take the TOEFL, otherwise it will be difficult to answer the questions. TOEFL listening and reading are multiple-choice questions, and it is relatively easy to get points if you have enough vocabulary.

IELTS has more diversified questions and more emphasis on all aspects of ability. For example, listening and reading are optional, and spelling ability is also required. Reading is only vocabulary, which is easy to make mistakes. For example, in the original text, Xiaoming and Xiaogang are colleagues, and Xiaoming is very handsome. Title: Xiao Ming is more handsome than Xiao Gang. At this time, students with weak logic can easily choose that this sentence is correct. There is no mention of facts in this sentence. Students with relatively weak logic are not recommended to take IELTS.

Finally, the most important IELTS topic design includes both life and academic aspects, and the oral English is subject to the examiner. The TOEFL test is designed for the lack of English content in life, and it is also a purely computer test.

3. Is it meaningful for people who don't go abroad to take TOEFL IELTS?

First, in principle, the "scores" of these exams are useless to people who don't go abroad. However, it is valuable to know the ability reflected by these exam results.

TOEFL and IELTS are both language tests. Students with a little experience know that these two exams are not just exams. We always say that students in China have strong test ability, but the test ability of students in China, in these two exams, still did not get the highest average score in the world. On the one hand, it shows that these two tests can more accurately examine English ability, rather than test ability. On the other hand, it also shows that the exam is really difficult.

People who know GRE also know that native speakers in North America have to take GRE when applying for graduate students. In other words, the GRE test no longer distinguishes students' mother tongue, and the TOEFL score of all candidates is 120 by default. The learning ability, diligence and even IQ required to achieve a high GRE score are no less than any exam in China.

Second, from the utilitarian point of view. If you plan to engage in English-related industries in the future, the results of these exams are definitely a heavyweight stepping stone. To some extent, they are more valuable than CET-4, CET-8 or even an English major degree certificate. Because people in English-related industries know the difficulty of these exams.

In addition, with the globalization of the global economy, China is more and more involved in international economic activities, and English is becoming more and more useful at work. Employers pay more and more attention to employees' English ability, because it not only represents English ability, but also represents a person's ability to understand international affairs and a broader vision.

Therefore, having the above test scores, especially high scores, is still very useful when applying for a job.
