来自家长的问题：“我想让孩子学习剑桥英语系列，除了打好英语基本功外，目的之一(只是之一，并非全部目的)逐步通过剑桥五级考试。可是上网一查，冠以剑桥二字且自称是剑桥五级考试推荐教材的很多，比如《剑桥少儿英语教材》 系列是由教育部考试中心中英教育测量学术交流中心组编，是“剑桥少儿英语”学习系统唯一指定的培训版教材；《剑桥中学英语》系列由英国剑桥大学的英语教育专家依据当代英语最新发展理念为全球中学生研发、设计的最新教材和“剑桥五级等级考试”的推荐教材。还有高教社/剑桥英语青少版/第2级/PET考试教材/学生包。” 曹老师，到底要选什么样教材呢？针对剑桥五级考试系列，您有没有权威的推荐呢？

From the parents:"I want to let children learn to Cambridge English series,In addition to good English basic skills,One of the purpose(Only one of,Not all purpose)Step by step through the Cambridge category five test.But a check on the Internet,The word called Cambridge and claiming to be 5 Cambridge exam recommend teaching a lot,Such as[Cambridge children's English teaching materials] Series is by the ministry of education test center in the education measuring academic exchange center to compile,is"Cambridge dictionary of English"Learning system only designated training edition of teaching materials;[Cambridge middle school English]Series of English education of the university of Cambridge in England experts based on the latest development in contemporary English idea for middle school students' research and development around the world/The latest materials and design"Cambridge 5 grade exam"The recommended materials.And higher grade 2 / club/Cambridge English youth version/PET examination materials/student package." CaoLaoShi,Are what you choose teaching material?Aiming at Cambridge category five test series,Do you have the authority of the recommended?

　　这位妈妈好，您的问题很有代表性，我必须写一篇博文而不是三言两语就把您的问题回答了。

The mother good,Your question is very representative,I have to write a blog instead of a few words to answer your question.

　　首先，我们要清楚剑桥少儿英语考试(YLE)和剑桥通用英语五级考试(MSE)是剑桥大学外语考试部开发的独立于任何课程的一套英语测评体系。这些考试的大纲、样题和辅助资源等信息全部都是免费公开的(www.cambridgeesol.org)，任何人都可以根据这些信息开发配套的教材，不用谁授权，也不用谁认可，除非他们要用官网上的资源，这就是为什么市场上可以有很多冠以剑桥的教材，有些可能是剑桥大学出版社出的，有些可能是与剑桥考试有关的。剑桥大学外语考试部从来没有“指定教材”的概念，因为出考题的不能做培训或出辅导教材(大纲和真题除外)，这是测评行业最基本的良知，只是在中国，有的时候情况正好反过来，所以考试的公信度差。但考试部会推荐一些相关的教材。

In the first place,We want to clear Cambridge dictionary English exam(YLE)General English level test and Cambridge(MSE)Cambridge university foreign language examination department developed independently of any course of a set of evaluation system.The exam outline/Sample questions and auxiliary resources such as information all are free and open(www.cambridgeesol.org),Anyone can according to these information development form a complete set of materials,Who don't have authorized,Who don't,Unless they want to use the resources of the official website,This is why the market can have a lot of words in Cambridge materials,Some may be Cambridge university press,Some may be related to the Cambridge exam.Cambridge university foreign language test part no"Appoint teaching material"The concept of,Because of the questions can do training or out of the support materials(Outline and prints),This is the most basic assessment in the conscience,Just in China,Sometimes it looks in turn,So the test is only.But the test department recommend some related materials.

　　第二，针对英语考试的辅导教材其实有三个种类，第一类是水平提高类，就是根据考试的大纲开发的课程，目的是让学习者通过学习综合提高英语水平达到考试的要求；第二类是模拟题类，就是模仿考试真题的套路开发的模拟题；第三类是真题类，这个类别必须有出题机构的授权，就是历年考试的真题。如果我们学习英语希望最终以考试来衡量进步，那么学习的顺序应该是第一类、第二类和第三类，这样的准备是最充分的。

The second,In view of the English test support materials in fact there are three types,The first kind is level,Is according to the outline of the development of the course,Purpose is to let learners through comprehensive study to improve your English to meet the requirements of the test;The second type is simulation problem classes,Is imitation test prints for the development of routine simulation;The third class is really writes,The class must have a set of authorized,Is the calendar year exam.If we learn English hope to test to measure progress,So learning the order should be the first kind/The second class and third class,This preparation is one of the most fully.

　　第三，第一类教材一般都是为课堂学习开发的，如果用于自主学习就要牺牲很多互动的环节，特别是现在学习剑桥系列的都是12岁以下的孩子，他们的自主学习能力不够高，如果自学，必须有一个懂行的家长带着。而如果选择去培训机构，那么用什么教材其实是机构说了算。有品质的机构不会选择太离谱的教材，所以我们应该更多地关注其对课程的设计(比如是否包括我说的三个步骤)以及师资质量(比如教师的英语水平、对考试的熟悉程度和经验等)。

The third,The first kind of teaching material is the development of learning in the classroom,When used for autonomous learning will sacrifice a lot of interactive link,Especially now study the series of Cambridge are children under the age of 12,Their autonomous learning ability is not high enough,If the self-study,Must have a parent with one of.If choose to training institution,So what kind of material is actually agencies have the final say.Is the quality of institutions will not choose too wide of the mark,So we should pay more attention to in the course of the design(Such as whether including me. I said three steps)And teaching quality(Such as teachers' English level/For their familiarity with the examination and experience, etc).

　　针对剑桥少儿英语的教材我熟悉的有两个版本，一个是西安交通大学(微博)出版社出版的《剑桥少儿英语》，一个是剑桥大学出版社出版的由外研社引进的《剑桥国际少儿英语Kid’s Box》。我会推荐后者，理由很多，尤其是从课程设计方面，但在这里就列举一些显性的理由：第一是由英语是母语者编写，第二是编写年代新(2008年以后)，第三是多媒体支持足(互动白板、CD, 多媒体CD-ROM，点读笔，网络学习平台)，第四是由剑桥大学出版社组织编写的，第五采用了适合少儿的CLIL教学法，第六美工设计很棒 …

Aimed at Cambridge dictionary of English I know there are two versions of the text,One is xi 'an jiaotong university(Micro bo)The publishing house[Cambridge dictionary of English],One is published by Cambridge university press, introduced by FLTRP[Cambridge international children's English Kid’S Box].I would recommend the latter,The reason a lot of,Especially from the aspects of course design,But here are some of the dominant reason:The first is written by the English is their mother tongue,The second is to write s new(2008 years later),The third is the multimedia support(The interactive whiteboard/CD, Multimedia cd-rom,Some reading pen,Network learning platform),The fourth is compiled by Cambridge university press,5 using the CLIL teaching method suitable for children,6 the graphic design is very good …

　　针对剑桥五级的教材就更多了， 如Cambridge English for Schools《剑桥中学英语》(外研社)， English in Mind《剑桥英语青少版》(高教社)， Connect 《剑桥国际英语教程》(外研社)，这些都是已经引进的版本，而剑桥出版社近年出版了与剑桥五级相关的很多原版系列教材，比如KET/PET/FCE Complete，KET/PET/FCE Objectives, KET/PET/FCE Direct等等，不能说哪个好，只能说是百花齐放吧。但跟就跟好一套，不要来回换。我们的老师在授课过程中采取的是选择一个核心教材，然后从其他教材中选取精华部分进行补充，过程中贯穿模拟题，最后阶段贯穿真题训练。所以，最好的课程肯定是一个集合，特别是针对孩子的弱项和难点开展强化训练。

In view of the Cambridge category five more materials, Such as Cambridge. English Schools[Cambridge middle school English](FLTRP), Spending in Mind[Cambridge English youth version](Higher education club), Connect [Cambridge international English tutorial](FLTRP),These are already introducing version,, Cambridge university press published in recent years related to the category of Cambridge many original textbook series,Such as the KET/PET/FCE Complete,KET/PET/FCE Objectives, KET/PET/FCE as and so on,Can't say which one is good,Can only say that..But with just like a good one,Don't change back and forth.Our teacher in the teaching process to take is to choose one of the core materials,Then from the other parts of the teaching material selection in essence are added,Process throughout the simulation,Final stages throughout the prints.so,The best course must be a set,Especially for the children's weakness and difficulty to carry out intensive training.

　　当时我们的剑桥五级教师团队曾就采用《剑桥中学英语》还是《剑桥英语青少版》展开讨论。这两套教材采用的都是CLIL教学理念，从各方面讲都不相上下，但《剑桥英语青少版》出版年代新一些。它们与剑桥五级的对应关系没有我上面所提到的Complete, Objectives, Direct那么直接，但是对英语综合实力的打造和通过英语拓展知识是非常有用的。最终我们还是选择了《剑桥中学英语》，是因为老师们认为其中的主题对孩子们的吸引力要强一些，而其与考试对应不直接的问题则通过融入Complete系列的内容来解决。这套教材的吸引力我有体会，因为我儿子在四年级和五年级的时候自学了这套教材，他喜欢到什么程度？我就规定他每次学两页，结果他一下就看了六页，然后告诉我太有意思了。《剑桥国际英语教程》的整体设计和水平还行，但有些浅。虽然这套教材是为KET和PET设计的，但经过我们的可读性分析，在KET的程度更多些。

At that time our Cambridge category five teachers team it has adopted[Cambridge middle school English]or[Cambridge English youth version]discuss.The two sets of teaching materials used are CLIL teaching idea,From various aspects, the athletes are equal,but[Cambridge English youth version]Published in the new.Their corresponding relationship with the Cambridge 5 is not Complete as I mentioned above, Objectives, As so directly,But the comprehensive strength of English through build and expand the knowledge of English is very useful.Finally, we chose[Cambridge middle school English],Because the teachers think of the theme of the appeal are some of the children,And corresponding with the exam does not direct problem is solved by into the content of the Complete series.This attraction I have experience of teaching materials,Because my son is four and five grades of time self-study the kit,He likes to what degree?I stipulated that each time he learned two pages,He just looked at the six pages,Then tell me is too interesting.[Cambridge international English tutorial]The overall design and level of ok,But some shallow.Although this book is designed for KET and PET,But after the readability of our analysis,In the extent of the KET more.

　　至于第二大类模拟题教材，针对剑桥五级的目前国内只有一套，是北京大学出版社引进Cengage Learning的，有总比没有好吧，但是近似度不能说很高。

As for the second categories of simulation problem teaching materials,Aiming at Cambridge level in China only have a set,Is Beijing university press in Cengage one,Something is better than nothing,But approximate degree can't say is very high.

　　第三大类是真题类，目前没有任何出版物，属于内部资源(剑桥五级的考点可以从剑桥大学外语考试部购买，但也不容许翻印)。如果参加考试，真题一定要做。

The third category is nowadays,There is no any publications,Belongs to the internal resources(Cambridge level examination can be purchased from Cambridge university foreign language test department,But it does not allow).If you take the exam,Nowadays must do.

　　谢谢您的问题，帮我梳理了这些思考。但说到底，英语实力是根本，只要这个上去了，什么考试都不用担心。

Thank you for your question,Help me to comb the thinking.But in the end,English ability is essential,As long as this,Don't worry about a test.
