備戰全民英檢初級! 報名前你該準備好的幾件事

隨著行政院推動2030雙語國家政策發展藍圖,國中升高中免試入學,許多學區已經把語言認證納入超額比序的加分項目。根據教育部英文課綱所設計的全民英檢初級,已經成為許多國中生參加英檢考試的首要選擇。如果您是國中生,或者您的孩子是國中生,這篇文章將說明如何準備全民英檢初級,並且帶您認識聽說讀寫的各種題型。

A. 如何準備全民英檢初級

  1. 增進字彙

    字彙是語言的基礎。全民英檢初級的字彙量約為2000個基本字彙,大多能在國中英文課本中學到。學習字彙時,除了了解字彙的中文含意,也需要熟悉字彙的發音,並且多讀例句,了解字彙在句子裡面的使用方式。

  2. 熟悉基礎文法

    文法決定句子的結構,並且影響句子的含意。全民英檢初級內容涵蓋時態、語態、連接詞、名詞子句、形容詞子句等基礎文法。學生在校上英文課時,除了學習文法句型的形式面之外,也需要學習如何使用這些句型,尤其是口說與寫作。

  3. 累積聽力與口說實力

    全民英檢初級的聽力測驗評估學生能否聽懂日常對話與談話。學生可以廣泛接觸生活素材,例如看英文電影跟影片、聽英文Podcast、聽英文廣播,以培養語感。至於口說,英檢口說測驗評估學生能否以簡易英語對答,所以學生可以一邊看英文影片,一邊練習裡面句子的音調,或者跟同學或朋友練習生活對話,如問候、購物、問路等。

  4. 訓練閱讀與寫作

    全民英檢初級的閱讀測驗評估學生能否讀懂生活常見的閱讀素材,例如交通標誌、招牌、菜單、時刻表及賀卡等,因此學生平時就可以多閱讀這些素材,累積相關的閱讀技巧。至於寫作,學生可以練習寫簡單的句子與段落,並且描述日常生活相關事務。
