カナダに移住したいと考えており、IELTSのスコアが必要でした。
IELTSには、アカデミックとジェネラルの２種類あります。
僕はアカデミックを選びました。なぜなら、アカデミックの方が難しいといわれており、より上達できると思ったからです。
３カ月勉強して、平均５．５をとることができました。
高校を卒業した後、約１０年間日本で日本語を勉強して英語から離れていたのでこの結果にはとても驚いています。
一番の理由は素晴らしい先生方のおかげです。
英語のあらゆる面で優れており、僕の英語能力を強化してくれました。
Writingクラスでは、正しい表現の仕方や、ボキャブラリーを学べました。
Readingクラスでは、いろんなタイプの問題を解けるようになり、Listeningクラスでは本番形式の問題と、どう間違えたかの復習に力を入れました。
Speakingクラスでは、本試験で聞かれやすい質問の答え方や動画や問題集のデータをもらいました。この経験はこれからの上達にも役立つと思います。
マンツーマンクラスだけでなく、グループクラスもとても役に立ちました。
グループクラスはIELTSとESLに分かれておりそれぞれのコースの授業に参加するのですが、
僕はESLのグループクラスにも参加していました。
ESLのグループ授業は発音と熟語を主に学び、IELTSのグループ授業はハイスコアをとるためのボキャブラリーを学びました。
３カ月間のカリキュラムを素晴らしい先生方と過ごし満足のいく結果をとることができました。
この経験は、カナダに移住するのに欠かせないものになり、人生の分岐点だったと思います。
もちろん、まだまだなところはありますが、AELCでの３カ月の経験は忘れずにこれからも勉強を頑張っていきたいです。
Hi,
I decided to study IELTS in the Philippines 3 months prior
to going to Canada after receiving the working holiday visa. At first, the
decision was made so that I could speak English better before arriving in
Canada but I needed good IELTS score if I were to immigrate there and I heard
the academic course was more difficult compared to the general course which led
me to choose the academic course so that I could improve my English skills and
raise my IELTS score. I believed that if I chose the academic course which is
harder, then I would be good at the general course as well.
I raised a wall between me and English after high school and had
gotten farther away from English after living in Japan and learning Japanese.
10 years has passed after high school and I was able to get a surprising grade
of 5.55, above average score, in the span of 3 months I have stayed here.
At first, this was possible because of the amazing teachers. There
are good teachers for every aspect of English and they did everything to
enhance my skills in English. In my writing class, I learned how to use the
right expressions to explain and the appropriate words and vocabularies. In my
reading class, I was able to learn how to solve different types of questions. I
prepared for my listening class as if It were real and was able to see
what mistakes I had with the scripts that were prepared beforehand. In my
speaking class, I had lessons with my teacher for speaking class and prepared
for the IELTS exam in the Philippines by gathering information and how to think
and answer to suit the questions of IELTS. My speaking teacher always provided
me documents, files, videos willingly, hoping that it would help me with my
English proficiency.
I was able to have very
informative group classes aside from 1:1 classes with these amazing teachers.
Because I was aiming for a high score in IELTS within a short span of time, I
took excessive amounts of 1:1 and group classes and they rewarded me with high
scores. Group classes are mainly divided into ESL and IELTS group classes and
IELTS group class was specially made for IELTS students. I also enjoyed
listening to ESL group classes and I went to the pronunciation and phrasal verb
classes by U.K teacher Phil and I can say that those classes are the base of my
English. IELTS group classes were helpful in a way that the vocabularies were
of higher level and the quality of the classes were good since there were only
IELTS students in them. I was able to solve and learn questions from actual
IELTS tests and answer them with the teachers which was also very helpful.
After preparing at AELC
with very professional teaching staff and splendid curriculum, I was able to
attain a satisfactory grade. It became the bridge for immigrating to Canada, a
turning point in my life. Of course, I can not say that I was satisfied with
the life I had in the Philippines but the 3 months at AELC were very
satisfactory and beneficial.
