I. Background
Due to the particularity of foreign language freshmen's enrollment sources, some students are assigned, including foreign students, students from other schools in Zhengzhou, and students from foreign language junior high schools.
Although there is little difference in the scores in the senior high school entrance examination, considering that the examination questions in the senior high school entrance examination are relatively simple, the knowledge involved has not taken into account all the contents learned by some outstanding students (such as the new Cambridge for foreign language students and the new concept of extracurricular classes for students). ), students with the same scores in the senior high school entrance examination often have great differences in ability (listening and speaking) and knowledge (vocabulary, reading).
In order to better carry out English teaching in different levels, the whole school English test was conducted after entering the school, and the results of each class passed. Generally, the first half of the class is divided into Class A, the second half into Class B, and each class is divided into two small classes AB for teaching.
Second, the teaching arrangements
Teaching progress:
Basically, class a will be a little faster than class B.
Teaching content:
Class A students have a relatively uniform level and good ability, so there are more classes. Paying more attention to the cultivation and promotion of ability while taking into account the examination can provide opportunities for truly outstanding students to play.
The content of class B focuses on the consolidation of basic knowledge, with the emphasis on strengthening the study of textbooks and texts.
Teaching methods:
Class A has more activities and a good English atmosphere, which basically guarantees that all classes are taught in English.
Class B has more mechanical exercises, weaker English atmosphere and fewer teachers who teach in English.
The above information comes from the real feedback from students outside Zheng's classroom! 95% of PS students are in English Class A!
About AB placement standards and exam instructions
About the placement test:
Examination time: Around the 11th National Day every year.
Assessment criteria: placement examination accounts for 70%, and the first monthly examination accounts for 30% (slightly changed every year).
Test difficulty: higher than college entrance examination or school monthly examination. See the placement papers over the years for details.
Test questions: In previous years, they were all college entrance examination questions. See the placement papers over the years for details!
After the placement test of Class AB, in principle, there will be no adjustment for three years, unless the English scores of the subsequent students can be among the best in the whole school.
The placement test is the first test for students to enter the excellent foreign language platform, which is very important for students' self-positioning and self-confidence in the new environment. Therefore, they should carefully prepare for the exam and make a good start for their new high school life.
