漢基和 ISF的問題

eit2003

求教，為什麼CIS和 ISF的 ib成績和uni admission表現只差很少，但普遍被認為是不同級數？

supervi

有冇人去左ISF open day?

係呀，係同一邏輯。

美國唔知，但英國應該唔太睇你係咪bilingual cert，最緊要夠分。

唔.......睇下你的期望是什麼，我期望是兩個語文A，雖然明白chi a + Eng b在 ibo定義也是bilingual diploma, anyway, thank you

咁DP 公布的bilingual diploma % 是否也包括chi a and Eng b, 而不是全部兩種語文也是A？

如果計 Bilingual diploma 依家已不是什麼強項或特別，所有 offer IB 嘅 local school 應該是 9 成以上 Bilingual diploma 啦。

thank you.

for those who don't have bilingual cert, do they take eng B?

根據 Bilingual MYP Cert 的 criteria，我估計攞不到 bilingual cert 的應該是 Chin B。因為其他科目的 eAssessment (如 Science 和 Math）一定是英文，所以 Chin A Eng B 嘅都應該可以拿到 Bilingual Cert 吧。孩子已畢業離校，其實他一直也並沒有認識同學是讀 Eng B 的，同班有是從上海來插班中學的，都是讀 Eng A。當然佢識唔哂全校學生。

"language acquisition"means language B

"language and literature" means language A

Bilingual MYP Certificate 是考 MYP eAssessment 的證書：
The IB MYP Bilingual Certificate is awarded to candidates who also achieve an IB-validated grade 3 or higher in:• two language and literature courses or• a course in any MYP subject group (other than Language acquisition), or interdisciplinary learning, or the personal project, in a response language that is not the same as that chosen language and literature.

ISF G10 學生都會考 MYP eAssessment，只要是 MYP 時修讀 Chin A 和 Eng A, 都會有這證書。

ISF Chinese curriculum is extremely tough and some may say unnecessarily so! ...

I cant agree more with this AMC observation. By the way, I tend to find kids behave differently at HKJC.

Thank you very much your reply.
It only mentions English A and B, but neither A nor B is mentioned  ...

"language acquisition"means language B

"language and literature" means language A

The profile only shows Chinese B HL.
Bilingual MYP Certificate

I just noted in the school profile that "73% of all students received the Bilingual MYP Certificate".  This could be something new as I have not heard of a bilingual MYP certificate.

yes, Chinese B ...

Thank you very much your reply.
It only mentions English A and B, but neither A nor B is mentioned about Chinese.
As 70% are bilingual graduates, therefore either English B or Chinese B should be allowed.

As Chinese B HL is offered, is Chinese B SL offered too?

ISF比較不那麼國際，太過重視學術，我個人覺得有點壓抑，當然它依然是非常優秀的學校。

說得很對的，親歷其景！

香港的雙語學校是母語外語並重，而不是以雙母語以目標。除非家庭有長期用兩種語言，一般不能做到雙母語。如果家庭語言不是英語但過份側重英文，的確有可能影響母語發展

There are really slim chances for those HK Students (LSs Especially) who are targeted in Ivy League ...

Part of the reason is due to the different requirements if you target UK vs US top unies. For UK you just need to focus in academic and maybe one or two related ECA.
For US you need to be really all round in sports, charities, leadership etc and being presentable, which are not the strengths of HK LS students.
If you have only 24 hr a day, you need to decide which way to go and how to allocate your time. My friends in US who target Ivies are all spending a lot of time in sports and charities, science projects etc rather than just attending tutorials and academics.
