As part of our long-term commitment, we have initiated a major new Future of English research grant scheme.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is the first publication in a major programme of research and global engagement started by the British Council in 2020. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Future of English research programme will show the trends driving the use of English as a global language and provide data to inform policy-makers, educators, researchers, and others interested in this important topic.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Key findings:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">English is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is the global language of communication and English is likely to retain this position for the next decade and beyond.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">English will continue to play an important role, increasingly doing so alongside other languages to provide rich linguistic opportunities for learners all over the world.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">There is a strong connection between the desire to learn English and the need for teachers, even when new technologies are considered.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The private sector can fill the gaps in public sector language education provision and can increase opportunities for young people. However, the quality of some private provision is variable and the report recommends greater collaboration between public and private providers.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Policy makers should continuously review the approach to assessing English proficiency to make sure assessment practices stay relevant for today’s study, work and social interactions.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Technology has the potential to help greater numbers of students access language learning. But the publication found that it also risks widening the divide between people who have access to technology and those who do not.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Change is happening. The report notes that there has been a gradual, industry-led, shift away from the ideal of mother tongue fluency towards a more applied and contextualised approach to language proficiency.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read additional details at the BC site:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://www.britishcouncil.org/about/press/british-council-looks-future-english" rel="nofollow">https://www.britishcouncil.org/about/press/british-council-looks-future-english</a><br /></span></p><p><br /></p>ESL in Canadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10702714354762980393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899763737021044603.post-212793982161063972023-06-07T13:04:00.003-04:002023-07-01T17:31:35.821-04:00English Language Testing for Skilled immigrants in the Express Entry Program<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="http://toefl-toeic-ielts-cambridge.blogspot.com/2023/06/english-language-testing-for-skilled.html">http://toefl-toeic-ielts-cambridge.blogspot.com/</a><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">English Language requirements</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">You must prove your language skills by taking an approved language test. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">To do this - you must:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">- schedule your test with an agency approved by IRCC and pay the costs</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">- enter the test results into your Express Entry profile (and the Personal Information Number, if the system asks for it)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">- include the results with your application if you are invited to apply.

These databases can be used for machine language translation, formulas to rank collocation, most used priority word lists, word grouping tendencies and other linguistics research.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">These frequency-based wordlists contain the words that are most used in English. Frequency-based wordlists can help you target specific English vocabulary by indicating which words you should try to learn first.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Vocabulary analysis and summaries from the "Brown Corpus 1990".<br /><br />Table 1<br /><br />Words - Percent of words in average text</span></p><table class="tablecenter" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;"><tbody><tr style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;"><td style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;"><div class="margin1" style="margin: 10px 20px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">86,741<br />43,831<br />15,851<br />6,000<br />5,000<br />4,000<br />3,000<br />2,000<br />1,000<br />10</span></div></td><td style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;"><div class="margin1" style="margin: 10px 20px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">99.99%<br />99.0%<br />97.8%<br />89.9%<br />88.6%<br />86.7%<br />84.0%<br />79.7%<br />72.0%<br />23.7%<br /></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Table 1 shows us that in most written English just a few word types account for most of the English words in any text. Ten words account for 23.7 % of the words on any page and just 1000 word families account for more than 70% of the words used.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The ESL in Canada English Immersion camps experimented with the 1000 word lists and used them for the core vocabulary for spelling, poetry writing and public speaking contests. The constant reinforcement and repetition with variable context was quickly absorbed by the beginner students and greatly increased their confidence when speaking or writing.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When learning English "context is king" becomes most important</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Altavista's Babelfish or Google by Systran machine translation performs with an error rate of 20 to 30 percent. The large error rate is due to how a word's meaning varies with context. One example: "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" translated from English to Russian and back again only to yield "The vodka is good but the meat is rotten." So far Babelfish has 19 language pairs available and it has taken decades to develop language-pair rules for each of the 9,900 language word pairs.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Some observations for language students and language teachers is that the translation pool for just average translations is 9900 words. The big variable is context, which means that a word can be used in various formats: "formal, industry specific jargon, slang, idioms, act a different part of speech performing a different function within that particular meaning. If every word has an average of five context variables then the student really has to learn 50,000 items.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As final conclusions: second language learning takes time and effort and there should be plenty of translation jobs for the next 20 years if you are willing to invest the 5,000 to 10,000 hours to be proficient.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In the following example the word "weather" can be used in about eight different contexts and be used to mean, define or explain about thirty different situations or conditions. To properly study vocabulary students require background information and context.</span></p><h3 style="color: #6091b9; padding-top: 20px; text-shadow: rgb(227, 227, 227) -2px 2px 1px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">"Weather"</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="bold" style="font-weight: bold;">As a Noun</span><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Definition 1. the state of the atmosphere at a particular place and time as characterized by sunshine, moisture, temperature, precipitation, and other variables.<br />Similar Words: elements, climate<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Definition 2. unpleasant, turbulent, or violent atmospheric conditions.<br />Example: We needed shelter from the weather.<br />Similar Words: gale, elements, blow, windstorm , storm<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="bold" style="font-weight: bold;">As a Transitive Verb</span><span style="background-color: white;"></span><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Inflected Forms: weathered, weathering, weathers</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Definition 1. to dry, season, or modify by exposure to weather.<br />Similar Words: season , dry<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Definition 2. to discolor, deteriorate, or harm by exposure to weather.<br />Similar Words wash , rot , erode, deteriorate<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Definition 3. to endure past the end of; survive.<br />For example: Their marriage weathered the hard times.<br />Synonyms: withstand , survive, stand, outlast , endure , ride out<br />Similar Words: overcome, surmount, outlive, sustain, brave<br /></span></p><p><span class="bold" style="font-family: verdana; font-weight: bold;">As an Intransitive Verb</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Definition 1. to resist deterioration when exposed to weather.<br />Example: The colour has been able to weather the intense sunshine.<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Definition 2. to display the effects of exposure (deterioration or change in color)<br />Similar Words: rot, corrode, fade, deteriorate<br /></span></p><p><span class="bold" style="font-family: verdana; font-weight: bold;">As part of Idiomatic Expressions</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Phrase used as an idiom: "under the weather" = sick or not well</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><br /></p><div style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Previous blog posts, education articles, links to information, education services and social media in the right side bar, </b></span></div><div style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>List of education blogs below the posts.</b></span></div><p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><br /></p>ESL in Canadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10702714354762980393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899763737021044603.post-85179022369614209182022-04-21T12:57:00.009-04:002023-07-01T17:33:49.583-04:00IELTS for Migration<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">IELTS is accepted as evidence of English language proficiency for study, work and migration in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you are applying for a work visa, professional recognition or for permanent residency in Canada you will be required to present evidence of English language proficiency.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">To gain a Canadian visa, you will need to demonstrate your English abilities to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">IELTS assesses your English proficiency on a scale from 1–9 in four skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.

The Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) is a recognized computer-delivered English language assessment test.
<br /><br />
CELPIP offers a unique one-sitting testing experience. The computer-delivered Speaking component allows test takers to demonstrate their English proficiency without the possible confounding effects associated with human interaction as used in other testing systems.
<br /><br />
CELPIP uses Canadian English as spoken in Canada for language proficiency for immigration into Canada or for Canadian citizenship.
<br /><br />
The CELPIP-General Test provides Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and other users with an accurate measurement of English language proficiency in common usage situations.
<br /><br />
The CELPIP-General Test is a complete English language testing program that assesses general levels of functional competency. The test consists of the following components: Listening (47 minutes), Reading (60 minutes), Writing (53 minutes) and Speaking (20 minutes).
<br /><br />
CELPIP Total test time: 180 minutes (3 hours)
<br /><br />
The CELPIP format and scoring is cross-referenced to the 12 level Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) system.
<br /><br />
The CELPIP results can be used by:<br />
•IRCC requiring proof of English proficiency of applicants for immigration to Canada<br />
• applicants for immigration to Canada to fulfill language requirements<br />
•professional associations and employers requiring proof of English language proficiency
<br /><br />
