英國劍橋大學(xué)考試委員會根據(jù)歐洲語言測試者協(xié)會制定的語言大綱推出了“劍橋英語五級證書考試”。旨在推進(jìn)歐洲語言測試者協(xié)會20多個成員國之間的英語水平相互認(rèn)證。這一英語等級考試體系同時也被歐洲及英語國家廣泛接受,當(dāng)作出國留學(xué)或進(jìn)入商務(wù)領(lǐng)域的語言水平認(rèn)證。
根據(jù)運用語言的能力!皠蛴⒄Z五級證書考試”的等級大致可描述為:入門證書水平(KET),即能夠以英語就日常話題進(jìn)行簡單交流,是劍橋少兒英語三級之后進(jìn)入更高階段的第一個等級;初級證書水平(PET),即具備運用英語解決日常事務(wù)的能力;第一證書水平(FCE),即能夠在商務(wù)環(huán)境下或就某些稍具專業(yè)性的話題進(jìn)行交流,同時此水平的考試也被作為母語為非英語人員申請到歐洲留學(xué)的語言水平認(rèn)證;高級英語證書考試水平(CAE),即能夠從文化層面上把握語言在各種場合下的應(yīng)用,能夠憑借英語進(jìn)入某專業(yè)技術(shù)領(lǐng)域從事工作或初步具備了以英語作為工作語言進(jìn)入學(xué)術(shù)領(lǐng)域的能力;英語熟練證書水平(CPE),即劍橋大學(xué)考試委員會認(rèn)為母語為非英語的人士已經(jīng)完全具備了以英語進(jìn)行深度學(xué)術(shù)研究的能力。
