雅思考生今年尤其闹心,疫情反反复复,考生数量巨大,官方只好加倍谨慎——出国类考试中,雅思永远第一个取消,最后一个恢复。要命的是,雅思不像托福有家庭版(Home Edition),一旦考试取消,除了等,没有其它选择。
雅思官方也接收到了这种焦虑,在2020年推出了可以在家考试的IELTS Indicator。可惜它的学校承认度远低于托福Home Edition,并且不对大陆地区的考生开放。
去年British Council宣布终止Indicator考试,在2022年启用新的IELTS Online,并在4月28日19:00进行了第一场内测。这篇小作文,就来分析一下大家最关心的,IELTS Online是线下考试的替补方案吗?

IELTS Online内测什么样?

这次内测,仅限收到邀请的10位考生参加。一位参加了内测的同学分享说,考试要用护照报名,而自己是在香港参加的考试。
内测的口语是视频形式,与另外三科在同一天进行。两部分考试都要提前15分钟登录。
考生需要提前在Windows或Mac电脑端(不支持平板或手机)下载Inspera Exam Portal (IEP)并测试。IEP下载链接随通知邮件一起发出,这位考生收到的口语和听力阅读写作是两封独立邮件,分别有两个Pincode。下载完成后,看到下面的界面:
考前15分钟输入Pincode,还要打开系统偏好设定-保安与隐私-隐私-屏幕录影,把除了IEP以外的应用关掉。再重启IEP,进入waiting room。
考试环境方面,考口语前,需要对着自己的脸和证件拍照片。在听力开始前,需要用摄像头绕自己周围录一圈,把手能触及的地方,还有地板、天花板、耳朵、键盘都照一遍,最后对着摄像头关掉手机。 考试实施全程一对一监考,如果你的镜头动了只漏出半张脸,或者手放在摄像头看不到的位置时,就会弹出提醒通知。内测结束后,官网进行了问卷调查:
从内测来看,Online的考试流程与雅思机考相似,只是需要自己提前下载考试软件,测试并登陆。下面是官网对于Online考试的解释:

1、不限考点,线上完成

线上考试将于2022年在全球范围内上线,考生可采取灵活且安全的方式在任何地点参加考试,考后3-5天出成绩。

2、四科考试,内容不变

考试将涵盖听力、阅读、写作和口语,其内容和形式与在考试中心进行的现有雅思学术考试相同(UKvi和G类考生仍需参加线下考试)。

3、口语测试,在线视频

口语是面对面的测试,与经过培训的雅思考官实时在线进行。

4、远程监考,杜绝作弊

雅思建立了一个远程监考平台,有一个集成的视频系统,并招募了自己的监考人员,这些监考人员都是直接接受培训和管理的。 现在内测结束了,官方也对考试流程有了明确说明,正式的IELTS Online是不是离我们不远了?

IELTS Online什么时候实现?

所有考生,都盼着尽快报名,但是官方邮件里这样说:
目前雅思官方没有在大陆地区推出正式的Online考试,也搜不到相关消息:
虽然现在还不能报名,但是通过内测收集的信息,就是为推出正式考试做准备,大家只要静心复习,当新的考试上线,就可以选择最早的考试时间。如果能考试,学校对于Online成绩的认可度也是个好问题:

IELTS Online认可度高吗?

疫情初期,雅思推出了Indicator考试。刚开始的时候,监考比较松,口语考试开摄像头,但是笔试不需要开摄像头,真实性难以保证。这也导致了Indicator从一开始在学校那边的认可度就比较低。 吸取了Indicator监考的失败经验,这次Online内测就规范了监考机制,保证考试的公平性,成绩也会和纸考和机考成绩一样得到院校的认可。 正式考试上线前,学校认可度可以参考之前Indicator的承认院校名单: 澳洲认可IELTS indicator成绩院校 Australian Film, Television and Radio School Australian Institute of Higher Education Bella College Australia Deakin College English

总结

总结一下,虽然IELTS Online还未正式推出,但内测的举行也是个积极的信号,被取消了考试的焦虑心灵总算能得到一丝安慰。 即使现在不能报名考试,也要按部就班复习,随时做好考试准备。另外建议有考试打算的同学们,一定要提前准备,尽快参加考试,这样才不会被狡猾的病毒打乱申请计划。
