[討論]多益

[台灣英語網1.0]

引文:

對於「 TOEIC測驗的使用目的為何？」有百分之四十二的受訪者是為自我能力評估，而百分之三十五的受訪者則為了求職，另外百分之二十三的受訪者則是為任職公司升遷需求。高志豪指出，從這個比例來看， 多益成績已逐漸成為企業徵才、用才的評估標準，台灣受訪者對自我成績要求，也逐漸從環境被動要求，轉成主動積極爭取高分的現象。



自我能力評估 =>　求職　=> 升遷

多益考得好真得這麼有用?

沒有用

某些公司會要求員工通過某種英語的檢測
我以前的公司要求的就是 多益
但我現在的公司則要求 全民英檢
看公司而定

但若是老員工沒過
公司也沒折
不過新員工就一定會被要求
因為攸關薪水及未來升遷

I'm curious how many people have taken either TOEIC or TOEFL and scored high on it? Did it really help with your (career) advancement?

Lasai, could you tell us if you had taken either or any similar exam? I think your English is excellent. Can you speak as fluently as you write? Pardon me for asking! I'm just curious.

The story " 法官大人，我有罪" is a very good example that having studied English for years and passing the TOFEL exam don't really guarantee much in the real world. Just my 2 cents.

In responding to your question about English in my career;

My first job was in an airway company as a coordinator between the branches and the head quarter. English was the only way to communicate with my co-workers.
My second job was a secretary to the high administration in a big private enterprise. I had to write English letters for the executive, and do the translation in the papers as well. I also had to contact many foreign clients.
Now I am in the public service unit. English is less important now. But I have much more time to learn more sophiscated English.
Every winter, I may go to the USA for my vacation about 2-4 weeks. That's the time for me to practice my colloquial conversation with the native speakers.
Also taking chances as a part time job, I would do the translation for the cable TV subtitle from English to Chinese.
Speaking and listening may not be my strength though, I will keep on learning.

I did not take TOEIC before. I only took the tests of the old TOEFL and GEPT( 全民英檢). It's a requirement for me for the jobs.

Lasai,
Where do you find the translation for the cable TV subtitle from English to Chinese" job? And may I know what your TOEFL score is?

I would say Lasai must have a very high score. It's not an easy job translating subtitles. A lot of times you can't really get the meaning cross from one language to the other. My mom doesn't speak any English at all so watching any foreign movie with her is always a task - I have to translate for her.

For subtitle part time job, there're several agents in Taipei. I used to work for one on 八德路 for 1 and a half years. I just went to their office and did a test translation. And after 3-day-review from their supervisor, they accepted me and assigned me jobs in a weekly base. This meant that I had to finish an episode or a film in one week. But I am too busy to keep on when I changed my last job. So I gave it up then.
And now I help one of my friends to do it once in a while. My friend is a freelancer of subtitle translator as she knows many people in the cable TV stations.
The pay from the translation is not much. You have to take it as a chance to learn or a chance to watch a good film.
