  我要花多少时间在课堂之外的学习上?

  • Previewing the material: You can expect to spend about 1-2 hours each week preparing the reading, 词汇表, 和听力. 
  • Taking the quizzes: You can expect to spend about 20 minutes to 1 hour each week completing the quizzes.

  • 在语言学习中，“把时间放在任务上”是非常重要的. 你投入的时间和精力越多，结果就会越好. 
  • 我们认为这是一种伙伴关系, with our job being to make this process as efficient as possible for you (we’ll provide the material to learn new things, 让你有机会运用你的英语, 给你反馈.)
  • To help you get a basic idea of what type of improvement you can expect in your Reading and Listening ability, 夏季学期学生, 2020, 在50分钟的EFSET测试中平均提高了约3分. 我们在下面提供了更多信息:
    • EFSET的最小和最大总分为0-100.
    • 1-30是A1初学者
    • 31-40是A2初级区
    • 41-50是B1中间体
    • 51-60为B2中上
    • 61-70是C1高级
    • 71-100是C2精通
    • We require students to take a 50-minute EFSET test at the beginning of the 10 week class and at the end of it. Below we’ve provided the descriptive statistics and the results of a paired sample t-Test from the beginning of the term (EFSET1) to the end of the term (EFSET2) from 28 students in Summer, 2020. We acknowledge that this is not a perfect measurement and there are many reasons why someone’s test score could have improved over the 10 weeks (in fact, 简单地重新参加考试可能会导致分数的增加.) We excluded students with missing scores or who only provided a pre or post test score.

    • 3个百分点似乎是一个小的增长. 但是，记住学习一门语言是一项艰巨的任务. For second language learners the rule of thumb is that it takes 200 hours of serious study to advance one CEFR level (查看剑桥在这方面的信息). EFSET的CEFR B1、B2、C1为10分. So, in order to increase 10 points on the EFSET, a student would need to study for about 200 hours. A three point gain would then require about 60 hours of study - which happens to be about how much the average student spends studying English while taking one of our 10-week online English courses (see the answer to Question 3 above).
