Teacher instructions and answer key

Administering the Placement Test

Allow a maximum of 30 minutes for the Test.

The questions in the Placement Test become progressively difficult. Students should only attempt as many questions

as they feel they are able to within the time allowed.

Placing students

Placement of candidates according to the scores on the Test is based on the assumption that students have attempted

to answer all 70 questions.

Item Corresponding course level

1–6 Language Hub Beginner

7–20 Language Hub Elementary

21–34 Language Hub Pre-Intermediate

35–48 Language Hub Intermediate

49–62 Language Hub Upper Intermediate

63–70 Language Hub Advanced

Placement is at the teacher’s discretion. For example, a score of 18/70 would mean a candidate would probably

be ready for Pre-Intermediate, while a score of 27/70 would place a candidate in the second half of

Pre-Intermediate. A score above 60 would place students at Advanced.

..1–6 Language Hub Beginner

HUB — это термин с несколькими значениями, в зависимости от контекста:

1. HUB (сеть): В контексте компьютерных сетей, "hub" (или "сетевой концентратор") — это устройство, которое соединяет несколько компьютеров или других устройств в сети. Оно передает данные, поступающие от одного устройства, ко всем остальным устройствам в сети. В современном сетевом оборудовании концентраторы менее распространены, так как часто используются более эффективные коммутаторы (switches).

2. HUB (центр): В более общем значении, "hub" означает "центр" или "узел". Это место или объект, который соединяет или объединяет различные элементы. Например, "транспортный узел" может быть крупным аэропортом или железнодорожной станцией, через которую проходит много транспортных потоков.

3. HUB (платформа): В контексте бизнеса и образования, "hub" может означать платформу или ресурс, где сосредоточены важные ресурсы и информация. Например, "Language Hub" — это образовательная платформа для изучения языков, где можно найти материалы и инструменты для обучения.

История слова "hub":

1. Происхождение: Слово "hub" происходит от староанглийского слова "hubb", что означало "колесный центр". В древности "hub" использовалось для обозначения центральной части колеса, на которую крепились спицы.

2. Развитие значения: Со временем значение слова расширилось и стало обозначать любой центр или узел, который связывает различные элементы. В современных технологиях и бизнесе оно используется для обозначения центральных точек, узлов или платформ.

Таким образом, "hub" имеет широкое применение и используется для описания различных видов центров и узлов, как в техническом, так и в более общем контексте.

Language Hub Beginner — это название учебного ресурса или курса, предназначенного для начинающих изучающих язык. В этом контексте "Language Hub" означает "языковой центр" или "платформа для изучения языка", а "Beginner" указывает на то, что курс предназначен для начинающих.

История и использование:

1. Language Hub: Это название часто используется для образовательных платформ или ресурсов, которые предлагают материалы и инструменты для изучения языка. Такие ресурсы могут включать уроки, упражнения, тесты и интерактивные задания, которые помогают учащимся развивать навыки в языке.

2. Beginner: Этот термин указывает на уровень сложности курса. Курс для начинающих обычно охватывает основы языка, такие как простая грамматика, базовая лексика и основные фразы, необходимые для начального общения.

Пример использования:

Курс "Language Hub Beginner" может включать:

• Основные уроки по грамматике и лексике.
• Интерактивные упражнения для практики произношения и понимания.
• Аудио и видео материалы для улучшения навыков аудирования.
• Тесты для оценки прогресса.

Такие курсы обычно предназначены для тех, кто только начинает изучение нового языка и стремится освоить базовые навыки для дальнейшего обучения.
