呼應素養導向教學!多益普及貼近體制內英語測驗

多益普及英語測驗(TOEIC Bridge) 已於今(2019)年6月改版,改版後TOEIC Bridge及多益英語測驗(TOEIC)題型高度重疊,由於TOEIC題型難度較高,學生可先透過TOEIC Bridge熟悉題型與基礎句型、詞彙,再繼續朝TOEIC 邁進。

情境學習 強調能在生活應用

隨著108新課綱上路,強調培養「能在生活中應用」的素養導向教學,已成教育現場近期火熱的關鍵字。對許多英語學習者來說, TOEIC Bridge提供的各種情境皆與生活息息相關,如:餐飲、娛樂、購物等,如後方練習的第一、二題,除了需從對話前後文推斷、還要搭配樓層圖才能正確作答,是很適合的學習題材,且閱讀題幾乎都是應用性資訊,如便條紙、信件、對話等。

這次TOEIC Bridge改版最大不同在於納入口說與寫作測驗,主因是英語學習者在說寫部分的學習,也是考驗能否自由運用語言的關鍵之一。測驗中幾乎都是日常中會使用的文體,這正巧也與新課綱強調的概念不謀而合。

改版後,TOEIC Bridge題型與教育體制內測驗重疊性增多,針對題型準備的學習者更能一舉多得,如聽力測驗中的應答問題便與國中會考、高中英聽題型相同;而口說測驗的故事描述,與學測作文題型相似;此外,要求提議和支持論點的題型,則和學測、指考近年作文題相同,都是要求考生先陳述意見,再提出例證支持。

TOEIC聽說讀寫測驗題目難度是循序漸進的,通常越後方的大題越難,所以練習時最好搭配適合的學習程度,不宜挑戰難度過高的題目,否則可能導致學習效果不彰,更可能因受挫而難以增建自信,建議想強化英語文能力的學習者不妨先從TOEIC Bridge入門,待程度更上一層樓後再接著挑戰TOEIC,相信會更得心應手,建議大家可參考下一頁與素養導向、生活情境應用相關的精選練習,一起挑戰看看。
