作者: 超凡遠距英語口筆譯

擁有好的語言能力最重要的元素是「環境」，超凡遠距在台灣創造這個環境。

課程有三大目標。

1. 站上國際演講台：具備英語公開演說能力。培養高階口筆譯技能，建立中英兩種語言流暢移動的能力。
2. 學習歷程檔案：每周全英文發表及每月演講紀錄，做為學習歷程檔案中的多元表現。
3. 考試及檢定輔導：針對國高中生的考試內容，幫助學員有效準備考試，並針對考試重點解說。

確保達成上述目標，訓練內容如下：

1. 全文輸入輸出訓練：按層級進行聽說讀寫全文輸入輸出訓練作業。普通高中學員可以選擇將段考範圍課文納入口說訓練中。請看實例。
2. 每周線上全英語應答訓練1.5小時。請看實例。
3. 每月一次全英文演說，以影片存檔。請看實例。
4. 每周評量進行段考及大考的測驗項目。隨時線上解惑。

為什麼實體+遠距可以學更好？

學好語言的關鍵是在於下課之後做了甚麼訓練！傳統學習讓學習者花大量時間重複聽課，超凡遠距訓練讓學習者省下重複聽課的時間，讓學習者大量實作。

1. 單字片語文法等基本學習項目全部在雲端虛擬教室進行，可以不限次數重複學習，並且可以進行模擬測驗。
2. 學習者個別在家進行全文說寫訓練，將全文說寫練習的時間極大化。
3. 學習者進行公開演說訓練時壓力較小，可以盡情發揮。

Once upon a time there was a little boy.

His hair curly and eyes watery.

At age of five he was full of joy.

His parents showered him with love and toys.

He kept all his goodies in a big smiley trolley.

All day long he played and cuddled with mommy.

For all the snacks from daddy he turned out chubby.

But nonetheless he was happy.

Eat sleep and play, in the blink of an eye 5 years gone by

At age of 10 he was full of passion.

Ready for expressive exploration

His mind was curious and always in action

For he found interest in artistic creation.

His world was a safari wild imagination.

All day long he sketched and made flip-page animation.

For all the crayons he used up, art was an addiction.

But nonetheless he was happy.

Sketch, learn, and daydream, in the blink of an eye 5 years gone by.

At age of 15 he was living in a foreign land.

Now a teenager trying to understand

Future uncertain and nothing was as planned

For he had a lot to adjust and comprehend.

He swam hard to outlast this survival quicksand.

All day long he trained and prepared to take his stand.

For all the trials his will to win was hard to bend.

But nonetheless he was happy.

Adapt fight and cope, in the blink of an eye 5 years gone by.

At age of 20 he was rolling all on his own.

Becoming an adult the boy had grown.

It’s time to get real with fairyland long gone,

For he had lots to prove and doubts to contain.

Nervousness was a goblin rattling his bone.

All day long he studied and learned in the battle zone.

For all the challenges he managed his best to shine.

But nonetheless he was happy.

Study, equip, and excel; in the blink of an eye 5 years gone by.

At age of 25 he worked years straight in a row,

Entering business hoping for a dazzling show.

His calls never stop and was always on the go,

For the first taste of victory his ego grew.

He would kill for more with a big crossbow.

All day long he plotted and manipulated with his claws,

For all the toil and blood his career thrived but left many in woe.

But nonetheless he was happy.

Work, hustle and grind; in the blink of an eye 5 years gone by.

At age of 30 he had given work all his soul,

Danced with wolves and kept goons on payroll.

His portfolio grew but his heart a black hole,

For he started to ponder life’s true meaning and goal.

He prayed for revelation but heard fuck all.

All day long he wandered while keeping mind in control.

For all he achieved and built, it was time to leave it all,

So he could eventually save his soul.

He set sail to take back what the world stole.

Travel, read and reflect; in the blink of an eye 5 years gone by

At age of 35 he made new plans to expand.

By fate he returned to his motherland,

Refocused for life’s meaning now he understands.

He set hands only on works delightful to command,

Balancing his life because love he had found.

All day long he worked on the wonderland of his own.

For all the art and beauty we have on hand, life can be grand.

There is nothing wrong to be curious once again.

We can have fun even with a pot of sand.

We can play with words like waving a magic wand.

I’m here sharing with you my poem for you are my dear friends.

The boy was once lost but saved himself.

He used to chase blindly with a butcher knife.

Now he savors time and cherish his pretty wife.

There are no little moments in life;

For the little moments are life itself.

Be happy now for there is no afterlife.

Learn to take it easy and be kind to yourself.

TOEIC SW是甚麼？有多大的價值？

TOEIC SW是許多人不知道的英語能力檢定，知道的也多半不去考。SW代表Speaking及Writing，多益跟全民英檢最大的不同就是全民英檢GEPT必須初試聽讀及複試說寫都達到標準才有通過證書，但是多益聽讀以及多益SW沒有通過不通過的問題，反正有考就有分數證明，這導致多數多益考生不參加說寫考試(反正不會不通過)，正好避開弱項。

以生意角度來看多益這招真是高明，不像全民英檢考生可能要尷尬地說「我沒通過」，多益考生只有分數證明，無論考幾分都沒有不通過的問題。難怪近幾年來愈來愈多人考多益(但不考多益SW說寫)，愈來愈少人考全民英檢。

換個角度看，多益SW才比較接近真正的英語能力，尤其是考試模式極具挑戰，相信需要員工具備英語能力的企業主也知道。所以TOEIC SW高分是求職升遷利器！即使多益聽讀金色證書的人未必能考到多益SW140分以上。畢竟聽讀比較容易進行機械化訓練拿高分，但說寫則不然，多益SW可不像參加面試是可以預測要講些甚麼，多益SW真的不簡單。

以下是多益官方2012台灣1000大企業員工英語能力調查報告；可知有三分之一的企業機構以英語能力作為招募員工標準。

下圖即是企業對於國際人才的期待值調查，可知道企業機構對於英語能力的期待就是說寫溝通能力，尤其公開演說能力更是立即凸顯個人優勢。

所以英語，或者國際語，的溝通能力在職業生涯有其必要性。其實在個人生活層面也有其優勢，出國旅遊洽公或網路搜尋資訊都派得上用場。

TOEIC SW到底考些甚麼？挑戰性在哪裡？

我個人是英語演說教練，是KTC (高雄國際英語演講會)會員，最近剛完成羚羊、獅子、父親的英語演說，但是我沒有拿到TOEIC SW滿分🙂。我們來看看考試內容如何有挑戰性。

TOEIC SW每項考試的滿分是200：

1. 口說題型包含(1)朗讀45秒內完成；(2)描述照片內容45秒；(3)即時回答問題兩大題六次回答15~30秒；(4)依據提供資訊提出解決方案60秒；(5)陳述意見60秒。
2. 寫作則是包含(1)描述照片8分鐘；(2)回覆書面要求20分鐘；(3)陳述意見30分鐘。
3. 挑戰就在於有時間限制以及立即回答問題。請至多益官網閱讀更詳細考試內容。想進行模擬測驗可至超凡遠距官網的各項考題。

誰該去考？

建議TOEIC成績 700以上的學習者才去應考，因為口語與寫作測驗很需要大量單字，而且當中有很多題型需要一定程度的閱讀與聽力，加上考試很燒錢，所以一旦決定去考，就要充分準備，至少說寫各拿個160。否則考出來的成績不具有說服力，若只是當作經驗，那就是很貴的經驗。下表是多益機構的調查，多益聽讀滿分只能在多益SW得到170，顯見說寫對英語做為國際語的學習者的挑戰是在說寫。超凡遠距希望應徵工作時拿出金色證書的朋友可別在公開演說時表現落差太大。

超凡遠距如何幫你？

由於超凡遠距以全文輸入輸出訓練幫助學員，在聽說讀寫都能夠均衡成長，所以對於說寫兩項目是我們學員比較有信心的項目。我是超凡遠距創辦人，所以以身作則參加考試，結果兩科都是190分，沒有滿分有些扼腕，但對於沒有留學經驗、不曾補習英文的農村小孩，加上職業生涯大部分時間都是在建築業，這應該是可以接受的成績了。但這背後意義大於成績，台灣的未來工程師、護士、會計師… 只要用對方法，可以不必花大錢或許多時間也能將英文提升到相當不錯的程度，請參考學員演講及創作。

全文輸入輸出訓練對提升學習者語言競爭力是非常有幫助的，這是目前在台灣唯一遠距離為學習者創造大量的英語使用環境的訓練課程，不必出門卻能進行大量英語說寫訓練。從最基礎(小五)到最高級(博士或英語教師)都可進行訓練，學習者將聽讀輸入的文本以說寫從新輸出，並且每位學習者都有專屬英語教練陪同訓練，遠端提供改善建議，參與的學員對於說寫項目多能有效率有效果提升，請參考全文輸入輸入訓練的網頁，或到連絡我們留下資料，我們會立即跟您聯繫。
