ALTE i cerficats

   
The Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE) is an association of language exam providers.ALTE now establishes a six-level framework of language examination standards.


Per veure els diversos idiomes i els seus contextos institucionals,
 consultem els nivells que marca el Marc Europeu de Referència, 
segons consta (31/03/11) a
http://www.alte.org/framework/table.php


The following table compares the ALTE levels with the CEF levels and EFL exams:
ALTE levelCEFR levelESOL examIELTS examTOEICTOEFL
Level 5C2CPE7.5+910+276+
Level 4C1CAE6.5 - 7701 - 910236 - 275
Level 3B2FCE5 - 6541 - 700176 - 235
Level 2B1PET3.5 - 4.5381 - 540126 - 175
Level 1A2KET3246 - 38096 - 125
BreakthroughA1-1-2--

Illustrations of the European levels of language proficiency 
In order to ensure that the reference levels set out in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) are interpreted in the same way by all language professionals, the Language Policy Division is developing material illustrating these levels in a number of languages.
A number of DVDs showing oral performances illustrating the six levels in various languages are already available and others are in preparation. Some examples of written performance are available on line and more will follow. Items and tasks for testing reading and listening comprehension skills in several languages at all six levels are available on CD-ROM.
A number of assessment bodies working in various contexts and on different languages are helping to develop this material.
Information and details on available material : www.coe.int/portfolio

Respecte al català, les equivalències constan aquí.
http://www20.gencat.cat/docs/Llengcat/Documents/Certificats%20de%20catala/Arxius/Equiv_llista.pdf

Des del punt de vista professional, una web per seguir la vida dels papers i certificacions dels soferts aprenents la trovem a     http://eoindignados.blogspot.com

Su imagen ha evolucionado con los tiempos y los medios. Su imagen se ha fragmentado gracias a la reciente legislación y a la falta de consenso donde, en principio, tenía que ser más fácil: en las áreas de gobierno de las EEOOII: MEC y Consejerías de Educación.

Esa fragmentación empezó, paradójicamente, con el intento fallido de adaptar el Marco Común Europeo de Referencia para las Lenguas a España y sus Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas. Empezó con el RD 1629/2006. Al final, los niveles altos (C1, C2)  para la enseñanza privada.

Así llegamos a obtener los resultados que se reflejan en el Estudio de las EEOOII llevado a cabo por la Asociación de Profesores de Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas de Asturias.

Algunes veus crítiques ens diuen:

Cambridge ofrece públicamente muestras analizadas de sus exámenes de expresión oral y de lo que considera que corresponde a los diferentes niveles del Marco:
Y el proyecto englishprofile (CUP) va en esa misma línea, ofreciendo descriptores específicos para la lengua inglesa relacionados con los del Marco. Se trata de buenas prácticas de transparencia, que van en la línea de lo que propugna el manual del Consejo de Europa.

Fox-2_03_WORK TO RULE




Fox-2__03_ WORK TO RULE


“People who insist on calculating in detail exactly who had what when it comes to dividing up the bill are despised, not just because they are miserly, but because such discussions involve a prolonged breach of the money-talk taboo.” 

  • employees who go to the pub for afterwork drinkswith their colleagues suffer less stress than those who don't
  •  ...  to drinking, alcohol is equally used to mark the transition from home/play to work.




  • A.   THE MUDDLE RULES (a1)
  • B.   HUMOUR RULES      (b1, b2)
  • C.   THE MODESTY RULE – AND THE ‘BUMPEX’ SCHOOL OF ADVERTISING
  • D.   THE POLITE PROCRASTINATION RULE
  • E.   THE MONEY-TALK TABOO     (e1, e2)
  • F.   THE MODERATION RULE (f1, f2, f3)
  • G. THE FAIR-PLAY RULE (g1, g2)
  • H.    MOANING RULES ( h1, h2, h3)
  • I.  THE AFTER-WORK DRINKS RULES___ link
  • J.   OFFICE-PARTY RULES
  • K.  WORK RULES AND ENGLISHNESS


At some stage, business-talk    inevitably  involves money-talk.
    1.  We are comfortable enough, allowing for our usual  social inhibitions, with    most  of the other aspects of business discussions.
    2.  As long as boasting or earnestness are not required, we’ll talk reasonably    happily about the details of the product or project, and pragmatic issues such   as objectives, what needs to be done, how, where, by whom and so on.
    3.  But when it comes to what we call ‘the sordid subject of money’, we tend to    become tongue-tied and uncomfortable.
    4.  Some cover their embarrassment by joking, some by adopting a blustering,    forthright, even aggressive manner;  some become flustered and hurried,   others may be  overpolite and apologetic, or prickly and defensive.
    5.  You will not often see an English person entirely at ease when obliged to engage   in money-talk.
    6.  Some may appear brash and bullish, but this is often as much a symptom of   disease as the nervous joking or apologetic manner.

    ·         She's really in the lion's den with this topic. The condescending stares, taciturn reception and weak applause tell volumes about the prejudiced and self-important attitude of these post-pubescent upstarts, virtually all of whom were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. Some of the comments here confirm the loathsome arrogance exuded by her audience
    ·         Can't stop that latent loathsome passive-aggressive dismissive caricaturing demeanour, can she?! Stinking bad character confirmed...
