一 Introduction to BEC3

1 Examination structure and paper format

BEC3 has four components, covering four language skills of Reading and Writing (in one single paper), Listening(using a Cambridge tape made for a specific examination on a specific day) and Speaking (involving a paired assessment in three parts)

Reading : 包括商务报告,会议记录,广告,商业文章,通知,日程安排,信息转换,说明书,产品目录等

Writing : 包括信函写作,商务报告,建议书,图表描绘等 Listening : 一般是电话会话,面谈,讨论,日常商务交流,解释和说明等

Speaking : 包括一般性对话,商务内容讨论,陈述观点等

2 Level of BEC3

BEC3 is a proficiency test of Business English at an advanced level and this level can be characterized in terms of the following

------what learners can do in the real world of work/study
------what materials and types of tasks learners can handle
------what topics learners can cope with
------the grammatical and lexical areas learners can recognize and produce.

The "business" aspect of BEC3 affects the vocabulary, the type of texts and the situations in the tasks.

Other aspects of linguistic competence, involving vocabulary and grammatical systems are tested at a high level, assuming that very few errors of structure will occur.

BEC3 study can improve our business knowledge ,business English level , not just teach students how to pass the examination.

二 New changes in BEC3

变化使考试的实用性增强,更符合时代的要求。

考试名称发生变化,分数分布发生变化,评分等级发生变化。

写作和口语发生了很大的变化。写作、口语时间变长(40分钟-70分钟,15分钟左右-20分钟左右),难度加大,思路起变化。
