facet_normalny Re: How to get an A-level? 23.11.08, 12:18 I understand A+ as advanced GCSE graduate. And in this context is my questions as well: 1. Is to compare e.g. ESOL programm with GCSE for english people? 2. Maybe only Entry Level 3 (with pass exam, of course) is same level like GCSE and last Level2 is like A+? 3. I understand this path with ESOL programme, cos i'm from Poland and i know that e.g pass ESOL entry level 3 exams is enough to do Life in the uk exams. Of course people from other countries (no-english speaking)have much less knowledge about english than people who are growing up with this culture, this language. Question is how to have much more progress with language? is that of course ESOL program, is that reading books and newspapers, watching tv, listen to radio, talk with other people etc but maybe is any other learning path for other languages?

jonathan.oakley Re: How to get an A-level? 24.11.08, 13:34 1: GCSE-"General Certificate of Secondary Education"-is an academic qualification awarded in a specific subject, for example, History 2:GCSEs are generally taken by pupils aged 14-16 years old whilst attending secondary school. 3: Some then go on to take 'A' levels if they have attained A-C grades in a minimum of 5 GCSEs. 4:ESOL-"English for Speakers of Other Languages"-an ESOL qualification shows that you are a proficient user of English as opposed to being specialised in aspects of (for example) a GCSE qualification in English Literature where you understand the relevance of Marlowe to Shakespere. 5: You could use your ESOL qualification as a mature student to gain entry into UK higher education-such as a degree course-though you should always check with the educational institution beforehand to see what their entry requirements are. The Open University is an excellent option for online learning: www.open.ac.uk/ Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
jonathan.oakley Re: How to get an A-level? 25.11.08, 22:57 The best way to learn to speak English is-in my opinion-enrol on an English course that gets you speaking and learning new words for an hour every day; start reading a free paper on a daily basis like London Metro and speak English outide of school as much as possible- markets are a good place to practice. :-) Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

seth.destructor Re: How to get an A-level? 25.11.08, 00:08 Thank you. I was told I'd need to have 3 A-levels to get into an university. Though I've got two notes from a Polish exam which would be assessed as A-levels, I don't have any assessment of my English language. So I try to find a proper way to obtain it. Unfortunately there is no possibility to enrol in an ESOL course in my local college this year. I'll try something else. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
Gość: mimi Re: How to get an A-level? IP: 78.151.144.* 25.11.08, 18:25 so is the polish matura at the same level as A level? what is an equivalent and do british universities accept it? Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
jonathan.oakley Re: How to get an A-level? 25.11.08, 19:16 Yes, I understand the Polish Matura is the equivalent of the English 'A' Level. British Universities should accept it-I know Edinburgh University do: please see link below: www.ed.ac.uk/studying/international/country/europe-russia/poland/matura Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
jonathan.oakley Re: How to get an A-level? 25.11.08, 19:23 If you are a mature student the university may not require you to have 3 A' levels or equivalent. Rather than an ESOL course you might want to think about an I.E.L.T.S course + exam as this tests a persons ability to study in English at undergraduate or postgraduate level. Most universities accept scores of between 6-7 as being suitable for undergraduate study in English. Check out this link for more info: www.ielts.org/ Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
