Alevel辅导:IB和Alevel相当于国内的雅思和托福,其含金量不言而喻(IB and alevel are equivalent to IELTS and TOEFL in China, and their gold content is self-evident),鉴于还有不少同学对IB课程和Alevel哪个好了解的还不够彻底,接下来小渊从以下几个方面帮大家解答一下。
一、从课程方面来看
有关Alevel课程
A-level课程是英国本土高中课程,目前已发展成为全球具有影响力的国际课程(A-level curriculum is a local high school curriculum in the UK. At present, it has developed into an international curriculum with global influence),仅CIE考试局为例,已经有160多个国家的9000多所学校开设课程。A-LEVEL课程学制为两年,学生可以根据个人的情况自由选课。A-level课程由于对学生选课要求比较宽松,一般三到四门即可,同时也不强制要求参加很多课外活动等,相对IB课程,A-level课程总体难度低一些(At the same time, it is not mandatory to participate in many extracurricular activities. Compared with IB courses, A-level courses are generally less difficult),但是单科难度并不低。A-LEVEL还会有不同的考试局,对于想要进入全球优质名校的学生来说,至少需要全A甚至是A*。
课程特点:
1.获得世界名校的通行证
作为目前最为国际化的一种课程体系,A-level成绩被全球认可(As the most international curriculum system at present, A-level scores are recognized all over the world),学生可以申请的大学高达千所。
2.权威课程、国际认可
Alevel作为目前应用最广泛的国际课程体系之一,有着极高的认可度,英国、美国、澳洲等国家都承认其成绩。
3.学习时间短、课程设置合理
学习alevel时间短,在学校花费1-2年时间。与国内单纯地将科目分为文理科,并要求学生必须二选一不同(It is different from the simple division of subjects into arts and Sciences in China, which requires students to choose one of two),alevel课程由70多门课组成,学生只要选修其中的3-4门课即可。
有关IB课程
IB是由1968年成立于瑞士日内瓦的IBO组织管理、设计IB课程(IB is an IB course organized, managed and designed by IBO, founded in 1968 in Geneva, Switzerland),目前全球146个国家的3,643所学校开设IB课程。我们通常所说的IB,主要指IB高中文凭课程(IBDP),针对16-19岁的高中生,学制为两年。此外,IBO文凭组织设置的还有IB小学(PYP,G1-5)和IB中学课程(MYP,G6-10),但被授予小学和初中课程的学校远少于授予IBDP的学校(However, there are far fewer schools awarded primary and junior high school courses than those awarded IBDP)。
课程特点
【1】IB课程较为系统,学生既要学习科学科目,又要学习人文科目(Students should study both science and humanities),还要有大量的时间去完成各种论文和参加社会活动,更全面
【2】进入大学后的表现一般也优于其它学生
IB课程的三大核心要求能够很好地培养学生的创造性、行动力、独立思考的能力以及辩证性思维(The three core requirements of IB course can well cultivate students‘ creativity, action ability, independent thinking ability and dialectical thinking),这使得学生在进入大学后,无论是行动上还是思维上,都优于其他学生。
【3】IB课程是最接近大学学习的一门课程,IB学生在进入大学后,可以更好地适应国外大学课程(IB course is the closest course to university study. After entering the University, IB students can better adapt to foreign university courses),IB课程没有地域性限制,被世界上所有主流大学认可,大学选择范围广泛,能高效地避开各国签证政策变化的影响!
二、从课程难度来看
总体来说,IB课程难度要大于alevel。IB含金量大,难度自然也不低,不仅课程科目多,而且文理科目都是必修(IB contains a lot of gold and is naturally not low in difficulty. Not only are there many courses, but also arts and sciences are compulsory),适合综合能力强且想要挑战自己的学生。另外IB强调启发性教学,对学生和老师的要求都很高,如果一方条件不符合,最后的教学效果都将受到影响!
三、从适合人群来看
Alevel适合哪些人群来参考?
适合中国学生,特别是偏科严重的学生,可通过自由结合课程,扬长避短来取得好成绩(Suitable for Chinese students, especially those with serious partial subjects, they can achieve good results by combining courses freely and developing their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses)。
IB适合哪些人群来参考?
适合学习能力全面,基础扎实,英语底子比较好的中国学生(It is suitable for Chinese students with comprehensive learning ability, solid foundation and good English foundation),当然也适用于西方文化背景母语为英语的学生。
