V. In Taiwan, junior high school students’ English proficiency is closely linked to their academic advancement. English is one of the core subjects tested in the Comprehensive Assessment Program for Junior High School Students (CAP), and the results directly affect students’ chances of being admitted to desirable senior high schools.
Moreover, many specialized high school programs—such as bilingual classes or gifted English programs—consider results from standardized English proficiency tests (e.g., GEPT, TOEIC Bridge, Cambridge English Exams) as part of their admission criteria or screening process.
Students with strong English skills also tend to perform better in entrance interviews, personal statement writing, and oral presentations, giving them an edge when applying to language-focused or internationally-oriented programs. Therefore, English proficiency assessments have become a strategic tool in the school admission process and have driven students and parents to place greater emphasis on English learning. Please choose one commonly used English proficiency test, either GEPT or Cambridge KET, and design an after-school English curriculum for one semester aimed at helping junior high school students pass the A2 level (based on the CEFR). The curriculum should include specific teaching materials, contents, and activity methods. (15%)
