BEC商务英语:一张证书多种用途(考试介绍)
□魏华
商务英语证书(BEC)考试自1993年由英国剑桥大学考试委员会与中国教育部考试中心合作推出,现已从中国推广到亚洲、欧洲、北美洲、南美洲、澳洲等60多个国家。
BEC考试共分三级,从听、说、读、写四个方面考察考生掌握英语的能力,是目前国内各种海外英语考试中少数有口试的英语能力考试之一。
BEC由于其考试单位———英国剑桥大学考试委员会考试的科学性、权威性,已被国内大多数外企、商社和涉外单位认可,是招聘雇员优先录用的主要条件之一。
已于2000年开考的、由英国剑桥大学考试委员会与中国全国高等教育自学考试指导委员会联合推出并颁发证书的“商务管理”、“金融管理”两个专业指定BEC为其英语课程。获得BEC1、2、3级C以上成绩证书者免考该课程。
BEC3级已被英国许多大学和中国一些大学定为MBA必修课之一。并被英国50多所大学认可作为入学英语语文能力证明。全国已有26个省、直辖市、自治区的34个城市设有58个考点。每年3月、9月报名截止;
5、6月,11、12月考试。
随着我国即将加入WTO,今后各行各业都要与国际标准接轨,作为权威的国际英语能力证明,BEC证书必将对你的求职应聘具有重要的作用。欢迎广大大学、大专、高职、中专、职高的学生,以及有志于应聘到外企商社工作的人士参加BEC考试,通过考试提高、检验自己的英语水平。
