上海協和雙語**中學進一步闡述教科 EMW的課程如何幫助學生順利進入下一階段的學習,迎接各類相關的挑戰。事實上,從進入校園的那天起,融合學子們已經在教師團隊潛移默化地影響下,在心理上做好了充分的準備。
In November we explained some of the key terms that you would hear during your child's progression through middle school to high school. In this episode, we would like to explain how these terms can be related to your child's learning at Jiaoke EMW stream. Our students are already prepared by our teachers with this in mind from the first day that they set foot on the campus.

IGCSE
(國際)普通中等教育證書
上海協和雙語**中學多元路徑助力升學規劃
在教科EMW,我們為八年級學生開設了IGCSE的幾大核心課程,分別是數學、中文、英國文學和科學。科學課上,學生會定期進行實驗操作,為他們在十年級時的實踐考試部分做好準備。為了幫助學生順利銜接古北校區的IGCSE課程,八年級的科學課也從之前的綜合科學細分為生物、化學和物理三門,分階段進行授課。此外,我們的數學課旨在為學生進入IGCSE的附加數學的學習夯實基礎。每年的5月,我們會鼓勵有能力的學生參加IGCSE數學的考試,從中積累考試經驗,找到自己的長處和不足,做好調整,迎接后續更多的挑戰。在初中階段打好數學基礎,對于融合學子來說,無論是IGCSE還是IB DP的學習,都將是一個良好的開端。
The teaching of the core subjects in IGCSE (Mathematics, Chinese, English Literature and Science) has already begun by Grade 8 at JiaoKe EMW. Students conduct regular experiments in their Science lessons to prepare them for the practical exam component in G10. In Grade 8 Science lessons are taught on a rotation to prepare students for the individual lab sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) that are taught at Gubei campus. Students are prepared for the IGCSE Mathematics course at JiaoKe (with a number sitting the final exam on campus each May) to provide them with a strong foundation for the IGCSE Additional Mathematics course followed at Gubei, thus offering them a head start to the rigours of IB DP Mathematics.

IB DP
國際預科證書課程
上海協和雙語**中學多元路徑助力升學規劃
IB DP課程要求學生具有極強的組織規劃能力。在教科EMW,學生需要學會規劃自己的作業時間。通常老師布置的任務是無法在一個晚上完成,也不可能在**一分鐘趕出來的。因此,學生必須學習和思考如何合理分配一周內的作業時間,制定均衡**的時間表。在此過程中,他們的統籌把控和平衡分配的能力也得到了鍛煉。在道法課上,老師通過豐富的課堂活動,結合時事熱點,幫助學生把所學知識和技能遷移到真實的生活情境中,培養和鼓勵學生的批判性思,這將有助于他們在11年級開始"知識理論(哲學)課程"的學習。此外,一個**發展的IB學生需要具備三個核心潛能:積極參與體育、藝術和團體活動。在教科EMW,我們的藝術、體育、音樂課程,以及豐富多樣的拓展課程,注重主動式、探索性的學習模式,我們的老師始終積極鼓勵并全力支持學生興趣的**發展。

The IB DP program requires students to possess extremely strong organisational skills. At JiaoKe EMW, students are urged to pace themselves in terms of homework: tasks set cannot completed in one night, nor can they be left until the last minute to accomplish. A well-balanced homework timetable encourages students to allocate appropriate time to all subjects across the week, thus instilling a sense of structure and coordination to a student's continued learning at home. Students are taught critical thinking skills in their Moral Education lessons - this will give them an insight to the Theory of Knowledge (Philosophy) course that they will study in Grade 11. A well-rounded IB student would show promise across three key pillars: engagement in the sports, the arts and the community are developed from early on in a student's time at JiaoKe EMW.

IELTS & TOEFL & SATs
英語語言類考試
上海協和雙語**中學多元路徑助力升學規劃
雅思——有人說“只要到培訓機構報個100多人的雅思集訓課就能學好雅思。”但事實并非如此。我們認為,培養學生的可持續發展的演講能力才是最重要的,而這也是教科EMW課程中非常重要的一個部分。每年,融合學子會在各個學科中就各種話題進行演講。敢于并且擅長表達和陳述自己的觀點才是準備雅思考試的**途徑。我們八年級的歷史課上也會著重對學生的議論文寫作能力進行鞏固。在老師的引導下,學生們能夠熟練地概括出某一特定主題的關鍵點,理清其中的邏輯,這與雅思寫作考試所需的技能也密切相關。
IELTS - The myth is that "IELTS English" can be taught lecture-style with 100 other students in a training centre. This is clearly not the case. Developing sustained speech is important - this is an important facet of the education we offer at JiaoKe EMW where students deliver presentations in a number of subjects across the curriculum throughout the year. Getting used to delivering presentations and speeches is the best preparation for IELTS that there can be - and this all happens here on campus. Argumentative writing is cemented in G8 History lessons, where students become adroit in outlining the key points of a structured response, which is closely aligned to skills examined in the IELTS writing exam.

托福——與之前的雅思考試建議一樣,我們認為如果學生在學校保證出勤率并積極參與課程和各類校園活動,他們將在此測試中表現出色。單純地背誦大量的單詞對學生并沒有實際的用處,他們需要學會在文本中使用單詞,并將它們應用于各類口頭和書面表達中。這些技能都是教科EMW 的英語和歷史課程所注重培養的。
TOEFL - Similar to the advice for the previous English qualification, students will excel in this test if they maintain a near perfect attendance rate at school and actively participate in lessons and activities. Learning large word lists is not beneficial - students must be able to use words in context and apply them across a number of verbal and written situations. These skills will be honed in particular in English and History lessons at JiaoKe EMW.

SATs, 又稱為美國高考——從 8 年級開始,學生通過學習以英語為教學語言的嚴格課程體系,便可獲得成功通過這項考試所需的技能。學生還應該養成愛閱讀、會閱讀的習慣,并充分利用我們藏書豐富的圖書館中的資源,不斷拓展自身的閱讀能力和思維能力。SATs中很多考題的類型其實都跟IGCSE不同學科的考試類型相似,因此,我們認為,學生只要充分掌握和吸收了校內的知識點,就不需要再額外花費大量的時間在SATs考試的練習上。建議融合學子們可以在 10 年級夏季完成 IGCSE 期末考試后再集中準備這項考試。
SATs - The skills that students require to succeed on this particular exam are acquired from attending rigorous lessons taught in the medium of English from Grade 8 onwards. Students should also be well-read and be making good use of the resources in our well-stocked library. Many of the style of comprehension questions tested will already have been visited across a number of subjects at IGCSE level so long periods of practice for this test along side normal school work are unnecessary. Students should only look to begin preparing for this test in earnest after their final IGCSE examination in the summer of Grade 10.

UCAS
英國大學申請網站
我們建議家長應從中學開始就為孩子的大學申請做規劃。孩子本身的意愿是非常重要的。問問孩子最喜歡哪個科目,想想這個科目可以和哪個專業對標。對孩子的目標學校一定要進行細致的調研,確保目標學校在各方面都適合孩子未來的發展。在學校,孩子可以向他們最喜歡的老師或者班主任咨詢大學課程以及專業的選擇等相關問題。
Parents should already be thinking about ideas for their child's university as a family from middle school. Your child's opinions count - ask him/her which subject they like best and which degree course it could lead into. Families should also be investigating destinations for their child's universities as these differ dramatically. At school, your child could ask their favourite teacher/mentor about their university course and how they ended up choosing their degree.

對于家長來說,孩子的學業發展之路,我們始終認為應盡早開始,提前考慮和規劃。對于學生來說,首先需要明白,一個堅實的基礎才能為你們在所有這些關鍵課程和考試中取得理想成績保駕護航。教科EMW課程也將始終致力于培養學生的組織能力、自信的語言能力以及強大的雙語數學和科學基礎,讓融合學子一進入高中學習就能得心應手,也為將來打開通往世界**學府的大門奠定基礎。
In conclusion, it is never too early to begin thinking about any of the key areas outlined above. However, students need to understand that a rigorous foundation will set them up well to succeed across all these key disciplines. Organisational skills, confident speaking skills and a strong bilingual mathematical and scientific bedrock will all be developed at JiaoKe EMW to allow our students to thrive at their high school and beyond from the outset.
