PTE少儿英语测评为二十一世纪的职业生涯奠定基础

全世界的父母都希望他们的孩子有良好的工作前景，并为他们21世纪的职业生涯做好准备。事实上，根据我们在2019年夏天完成的一项对家长的调查，这是他们鼓励孩子学习英语的主要原因。

我们必须让年轻学生为将来在一个不可预测和不断变化的工作环境中就业做好准备。除了英语之外，雇主也在寻找在21世纪各种技能方面显示出优势并能有效运用这些技能的员工。

二十一世纪的职业生涯奠定基础

21世纪的技能是一套学习、文学和生活技能，对于在一个不断变化的世界中取得成功至关重要。它们涵盖了广泛的学科和学科。

这张图片展示了我们通过英语学习材料和评估在学生中强化的21世纪关键技能。

口头沟通技巧

调查显示，家长在孩子的英语学习中重视良好的口语能力。他们认为口头交流是孩子学习进步的高标准，比如看到孩子和朋友、家人一起使用英语。

There is a strong communicative approach in both the PTE General and PTE Young Learners exams. Both provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate this skill in realistic scenarios.

Which other 21st-century career skills does the PTE Young Learners incorporate?

Critical thinking skills

Tasks within the test promote the use of critical thinking skills – that is, the ability to make a good judgement from the analysis of certain facts.

Critical thinking skills are tested throughout the PTE Young Learners, from the lowest level, Firstwords, through to Breakthrough. For example, during the first listening task, students are asked to identify details from the text, including hypothetical outcomes at higher levels.

Creativity

Creativity is another key 21st-century skill. Students are encouraged to be creative in the test when they are asked to write a narrative from a series of images.

Literary skills

Literacy skills are practiced throughout PTE Young Learners, in realistic scenarios – and the “Brown family” provides familiar characters, which helps boost students’ confidence. As you can see from the graphic, the language students are encouraged to use is reviewed and built upon as they move up through Springboard and Quickmarch to Breakthrough.

Collaborative and social skills

Furthermore, the organization of the oral test means that students need to work collaboratively and show flexibility. Taking the test in groups of five with an examiner also allows students to demonstrate their social skills.

What are further benefits of PTE Young Learners?

除了测试读、写、说、听四项技能外，PTE少儿学习者还向学生介绍他们将在PTE普通考试中看到的测试任务。PTE普通考试是一项国际公认的资格证书，被世界各地许多机构接受，作为英语语言水平的衡量标准。在一个舒适的测试环境中，向他们介绍诸如多项选择活动和填空之类的任务，有助于提高他们的自信心，减少他们在更正式的测试环境中可能感到的任何焦虑。

由于该测试是以CEFR为基准的，它提供了学生进步的一个明确的衡量标准。此外，所有学生在考试后都会获得一份正式证书，包括那些不符合低及格要求的学生的出勤证书。然而，在全世界40多个有此项测试的国家，所有级别的平均通过率为84%，突破级学生的通过率为90%。
How can I prepare my students for PTE Young Learners?

An additional benefit of the PTE Young Learners test is that it doesn’t require you to follow a specific coursebook. However, many resources, such as My Little Island and Big English, cover the language students will be expected to demonstrate at each level.
