Re: LCM vs ESOL

HuiTung,
What is ESOL?  Daniel took the LCM Stage 1 exam in April.  Honestly, he didn't learn much from stage 1.  To me, it  was just "for the sake of taking an exam" and getting a certificate but nothing more.

Re: LCM vs ESOL

danielboy,

The full name of the course is ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Certification Coming for Young Children.  Two of the authorities providing assessments & cert. are Trinity and Cambridge.  It has 4 levels.  Foundation level is for kindy.  Standards ranging from primary 1-6 in UK upon completion.  Spotlights Club has a summer course for ESOL and I want to know the comments about it.

Ha ha ...  you think Dan Dan did not learn too much from LCM Stage 1?  It's probably his English is high above Stage 1 lei!

Re: LCM vs ESOL

HuiTung,
No la!  Daniel's English is not up to standard.  LCM Stage 1 only requires the child to do the following:-
1. Simple Conversation (eg. What is your name? Where do you live?)
2. Sing a song (Daniel sang Twinkle Twinkle)
3. Imitate an animal (Daniel roared like a tiger)
I am sure it's too easy for Tung Tung too.

Where is Spotlights Club?  How do I contact these people for more information?

ianmami,
Ian did an excellent job!  The face of the examiner was really scarry and 樣衰, even大人都嚇死, 我10世無老公都唔嫁佢

Re: LCM vs ESOL

For ESOL in Spotlights Club, they have seminer on 3/6, can go and take a look.
我仔舊年都有考過LCM, 唔記得係stage 2定3啦. 大致上覺得對英文幫助不大, 我連張cert.都未去拿.
我認為學額外既野唔好一心諗住為左考試拿cert., 小朋友會好反感.
就算係要考小一, 以我經驗作用唔係太 大, 除非成績好突出.

Re: LCM vs ESOL

Well said.        When I enrolled my son in the LCM course, I didn't realise the classes were so boring.  My son really didn't learn much.  Luckily, he only attended the course for a short period.  He enjoyed the exam though.  My son is a rather weird person.  He likes exams, perfomances, competitions but hates classes.

Re: LCM vs ESOL

上門NET無請啦! 1對1呀仔話好悶, 上堂時成日扭計. LCM又係人報我報, 覺得幾無謂, London test of English就through學校報, 果張通告寫到好似學校好想你考o甘, 點知呢排好忙(係我), 都無同佢prepare就上啦! 到時唔知考個乜鬼出黎!
ESOL我都係for暑期班咋, 我唔考啦!
妳咪話呀! 高d年級果d喇叭仔英文係好叻架, 唔keep住train到時d人又話水準低落, 龍頭學校失守等等.

Re: LCM vs ESOL

Hi HuiTung

If you are referring to the ESOL Programme arranged in Spotlight, I'd suggest you to try to directly call the organising party to have a check.  The target exam is AQA or EAAIE (not Trinity or London Tests).  Personally I think the examination (ESOL) is quite an extensive one (covering oral, reading, written, etc), though it would be a bit difficult for young kids (if they are tested according to the syllabus specified).  The course seems to be quite examination-oriented but I'd question about the qualifications of the tutors.  You may notice the number of grammatical mistakes in the leaflet

Re: LCM vs ESOL

510,

Thank you so much for the reply.  The pamphlet said "ESOL assessments & certificates are provided by AQA, EAAIE, Trinity & Cambridge accordingly." ga wor .....  How come the target exam is not Trinity or Cambridge?  Have they ever mentioned the names of the tutors?

What you said about the exam is quite contradictory to the pamphlet wor ....   I need more info ar ....  Please help!  

BTW, what do you think about LCM then?    Any other similar English course that you think is good?

Re: LCM vs ESOL

Hi HuiTung

May be we are referring to different courses 'la'.  
For AQA JET -> click here.  From the syllabus (if they really mean so), you may get an idea how much it is expected.
I've no much information regarding EAAIE but they said it is somewhat equivalent to AQA.

I don't mean to be personal; I just thought that there is not much proofreading for the leaflet (the A4 one)
