Permettant de certifier les compétences d’un candidat en langues étrangères, la certification CLOE est disponible en anglais, allemand, espagnol, italien et français langue étrangère. Pour les entreprises, elle représente un gage de crédibilité supplémentaire, puisque qu’elle porte sur la communication écrite et orale au quotidien ainsi que dans le cadre professionnel.

Quatre compétences sont mesurées : l’expression orale et écrite ainsi que la compréhension orale et écrite, avec une attention particulière portée à la structure grammaticale des phrases. D’autres éléments entrent en ligne de compte, tels que la cohésion, le vocabulaire, la prononciation ainsi que l’aptitude à dialoguer.

À savoir : la préparation à la certification CLOE est éligible au CPF. 

Quelles sont les choses à savoir sur la certification CLOE ?

L’examen associé au passage de la certification CLOE demande notamment de :

• Comprendre un texte court et d’en dégager le sens global et des détails spécifiques.

• Identifier et utiliser des expressions de la vie courante ou professionnelle.

• Comprendre un énoncé, des instructions ou des questions d’un interlocuteur anglophone.

• Employer un vocabulaire courant ou professionnel adapté à la situation de communication.

• Construire des phrases cohérentes.

• Communiquer de façon naturelle à l’oral.

Les résultats de la certification CLOE font référence au Cadre européen commun de référence pour les langues (CECRL), qui est une norme internationale permettant de décrire la compétence linguistique. Cette norme se décline selon plusieurs niveaux allant de A1, premier niveau de compréhension à C2, considéré comme le plus haut niveau.

Comment bien préparer la certification CLOE ?

• Gardez toujours à l’esprit la structure de l’examen, en sachant que vous devrez comprendre et intervenir à l’écrit comme à l’oral. Vous n’avez pas de raison d’avoir de mauvaises surprises le jour J puisque vous avez d’ores et déjà en tête que les deux aspects seront testés.

• Pendant tout le temps de votre préparation, tâchez d’échanger le plus possible dans la langue de votre future certification. Achetez des journaux, magazines et lisez des articles en ligne afin d’enrichir petit à petit votre vocabulaire.

• Le jour de l’examen, prenez le temps de lire deux fois les questions qui vous sont posées afin de ne pas faire d’erreur de compréhension.

• Apprenez à maitriser votre temps. Lors de votre préparation à la certification CLOE, n’hésitez pas à prévoir des « examens blancs » dans un temps imparti.

À savoir : la certification ouvrant droit au CPF, c’est le moment d’utiliser vos heures de formation afin de préparer sereinement votre examen. Rien de tel qu’un professeur natif pour vous encourager et faire en sorte que vous soyez parfaitement prêt(e).

It was nice to 'meet' you earlier today and to spend a little time getting to know you. As I said, the Zoom link for all lessons with me is constant and unchanging. I have, for record purposes, amended our Google meeting entries to include the link.

After each lesson (it can take a maximum of 48 hours for reports to be posted) I will update your Padlet with a summary of the lesson, any commments and links that might be useful to you.

Today's lesson was based on B2 vocabulary for work and jobs. We worked through exercise one and the score you achieved was 7/10. There were some phrases in the sentences that were new to you and you can always click on the link (above) to have a look at them in your own time.

Thanks and regards,

Sandra

NOTES:

We 'do' sport

Plants (in a manufacturing environment) and, if there is more than one, is a plural noun.

Made to spec - that is made to specification.

Nice to see you again earlier.

We worked through two more web based vocabulary exercises and, after working through the meaning of some words and phrases, you did well in exercises 2 and 3. I have made some notes for your to review below about some previously unknown words.

As I said in the lesson, your reading is delivered well but please take care to read words as they appear and to make sure an 's' at the end of a word is spoken and heard. EXAMPLE plural nouns = flights, parents, tickets or possessive forms = the dog's ball, the company's sales.

The link to the lesson resource appears above if you would like to have another look at the explanations or any of the exercises.

Enjoy your long weekend and see you next Friday.

Regards

Sandra

NOTES:

"Snowed under" is an idiom that means to be overwhelmed or overpowered, especially by something that is beyond one's capacity to deal with. For example, you might say "I'm snowed under with work right now". 

Being laid off from work means that your employer has terminated your work contract, either temporarily or permanently, through no fault of your own.

A dead-end job is a job that offers little or no chance of career advancement or improvement. It can also refer to a job that requires further education to progress, but that education is difficult to obtain. 

Perks are special benefits that are given to people who have a particular job or belong to a particular group. ...a company car, private medical insurance etc.

To struggle to experience difficulty and make a very great effort in order to do something: [ + to infinitive ] The dog had been struggling to get free of the wire noose

Good to see you earlier. Today's lesson content was challenging but you waded through the rules and we had some time to start exercise 1. I suggest, when you have time, you review the rules for purpose, reason and result and then try to do the exercises. If you do so, make a note of your scores for the exercises. We can always do more work together if needed.

A note from the lesson: When asking yourself a question - "What did I do yesterday (last week etc)? When I ask you a question about a past event I would say "What did you do yesterday".

Our next lesson will be held on 29 November and I will send Google calendar meeting requests shortly. We can always make alternative arrangements if necessary.

As you had not had an opportunity to look at the topic we covered in our previous lesson, we used today's lesson to work through the exercises on clauses of contrast, purpose, reason and result. As I said, if you can learn the grammar rules, you will certain improve the scores achieved:

Ex 1 = 8/10, ex 2 = 6/10 and ex 3 = 6/10.

What delightful news you shared today: a holiday in Algeria to find your wedding dress! I wish you a safe, happy and successful trip.

I await to hear from you as to dates for future lessons.
