The universal globalization and cultural intelligence require modern human beings to master at least one foreign language. Today the more languages you know, the more opportunities you have in all the aspects of your life. If we work hard and hit the books a lot, at a certain stage we start to think that we can speak fluently and have a good command of the language we are trying to master. To identify how fluent is “fluent” there are a few evaluation systems with a set of criteria, which help us to understand how good we are with this or that foreign language. Today we will tell you about the CEFR.

History and Purpose of CEFR

CEFR – Common European Framework of Reference is a practical tool developed by the Council of Europe for setting up an assessment system aimed to validate linguistic competence among the member states.

It represents a list of standards for evaluation of linguistic abilities advancement and results from scientific work and wide international consultation. It was adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 2 July 2008 at the 1031st meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies. The aim of this document is to promote plurilingualism and develop a universal vision of evaluation.

As you might know the Council of Europe aims for identicalness of its members to facilitate their economic and social progress, upholding human rights, democracy and rule of law. It was founded in 1949 in London.

In 1954 the Council of Europe opened for signature The European Cultural Convention – an international treaty, Article 2 of which acknowledges importance of educational activities for further linguistic diversification. Article 2 is the basis and pivot point of the CEFR.

The Scope of CEFR

The scope of CEFR is based on 3 pillars: learning, teaching and assessment. Today it is available in 40 Language Versions: find the full list here.

Language Proficiency

The CEFR sets up six levels of foreign language proficiency: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2. “A group” means basic users, “B group” – independent users and “C group” means proficient users. Each level describes very thoroughly what a learner is capable of in terms of reading, listening, speaking and writing.

This scheme is helpful with the following aspects:

1)            Identification of learning objectives;

2)            Control over curricula;

3)            Teaching materials developing; and

4)            Language qualifications acknowledgment.

Learning, Teaching and Assessment

Apart from language proficiency definition the CEFR is a great tool for development and revision of the language curricula content. It helps to adjust it to the age, interests and needs of learners. Chapter 8 of the CEFR “Linguistic diversification and the curriculum” represents the strategic guidance for those involved in teaching foreign languages and responsible for curriculum.

To guide teachers and learners in their assessment of learning progress the CEFR offers plenty of online resources on its website. Teachers and learners are not the only categories of users, the CEFR is also very helpful to course designers, textbook writers and testers, as it provides a crystal clear definition of teaching and learning objectives and methods and provides the necessary tools for assessment of proficiency.

CEFR and Other Scales

Nowadays plenty of organizations such as language schools and certifications establishments claim their compatibility with the CEFR. For example, the European Association for Language Testing and Assessment (EALTA) has been created and funded by the European Community to advocate and advance the CEFR and its best practices. While various linguistic certificates and exams have their certain peculiarities, at the end their assessment of proficiency aligns with the CEFR. The CEFR is definitely the best way to identify where you are with your learning efforts. It is also the easiest way to explain to other people what your current level is and what you want to achieve with your further language study. Understanding your current level will help you to gain your point and this makes the CEFR useful for everyone.

We will remind you that an essay should consist of an introduction, theses, arguments, and a conclusion. In this article, we will show you how to compose a nice essay, while our topic for today is how to choose a profession. Let us start!

Introduction

Each person must make some key life decisions that determine their future fate. The decision on profession is one of them. From an early age, we think what we want to become: girls want to become teachers, doctors or models; boys dream to be racing drivers, pilots or businessmen. We grow, dreams change, and the time to make a selection comes.

It is necessary to choose the place that will bring the desired reality. However, lots of people, even until the end of the university cannot decide, and ask their parents for advice.

In developed European countries great attention is paid to the development of children, the determination of their abilities from an early age. The school system is constructed in such a way that allows the learning process to select spheres that fit student the best and develop his strengths. Centers and coaches may help to make this choice instead of your parents. They conduct the necessary testing and training with a child, in results of which student will be able to make a conclusion on what areas it is better to concentrate on.

Main Part

How to make the right choice concerning a future career? What are the stages in this process? What young people should focus on when choosing a career? A variety of methods and techniques exists to help a person with a choice.

Nevertheless, even after passing a hundred tests the selection cannot be made. After all, it is an internal process. High school students sometimes imagine meeting with a psychologist as a kind of miracle, the wizard will come and ask a couple of questions and will tell all about you. Psychological tests and career guidance are tools that help people to understand themselves.

The First Stage of Selecting a Career Path

Firstly, a person should remember professions that he or she liked as a child, and try to make a list of them. A person should try to understand what is common in all these professions. Maybe the fact is that they are creative. Maybe they all give a certain degree of freedom, or maybe they are all aimed at helping people? So, a student can understand what is crucial to them in the profession.

Then, an individual should make a list of his claims to working conditions. Does he want to work on the street or in the office? Doing sedentary work or permanent move? What is about travel? Is there a desire to work in close contact with colleagues or entirely in an individual mode? So, on this stage person should analyze professions that he chose.

The Second Stage of Choosing a Profession

At this stage a person should think of things that he is the best at; what type of problem it is always easy to solve for him; does he have more abilities to the exact sciences or humanities; what tasks does he prefer?

Also, this is time to describe personal qualities. Are you responsible or not, neat or sloppy, the individualist or collectivist?

The Third Stage of Career Selection

At this stage, there is an individual need to explore different types of professions. Each of them requires certain person’s abilities, skills, and personal qualities. All this is called professionally crucial qualities. The career can give the opportunity to realize certain values, provides the certain working conditions.

The question arises: what profession to explore.

Of course, firstly it will be the descriptions of those professions that have something attractive. However, it is crucial not to dwell on this and get to know a large number of professions related topics that the person chose in the first place. Unfortunately, it often happens that the student is focused on one profession, even without considering alternatives and certainly not seeing a huge variety of interesting professions.

The Fourth Stage of Career Path Choosing

It is necessary to find data on what kind of experts are now in demand in the current area of your living. Here person should pay attention to the educational opportunities in occupations that he is considering. Is it possible to get a free education and if not, how much will he have to pay for the studying?

The Fifth Stage of Making a Choice on Your Specialty

This is, of course, the most difficult task. The person needs to make a choice. The final decision will only depend on you. However, remember that the choice is not fatal. Later, you can change the profession if it turns out that the chosen is not for you. So, there is no need to escalate the situation if there is a sense of “my profession.” This understanding comes in the mature age to many people. In the case of uncertainty, select the optimal variant for the moment, weighing all the “pros” and “cons.” Experience will tell you which way to go next.

Conclusion

When you ask any person how he chose his profession, it is unlikely that someone will be able to clearly justify their selection. Most likely, you will hear that it happened that the parents were advised that dad was in the military, and “I followed in his footsteps.” In other words, for the majority career choices is a spontaneous step.

The selection of profession is one of the critical aspects which determine the entire future path of a person’s life. Since everything in life is interconnected, properly chosen profession has an impact on all other areas of life. The correct selection of profession brings confidence, peace of mind and material well-being in adulthood. The better selection is made, the more interesting, richer and more successful will be the way of life than ever before, the longer it will remain on the career growth.

We are sure that everyone can make a choice on profession that suits them personally and love their work. It is just crucial to make the right choice – the choice of your career!

Of course, over time, the above list will change. However, some professions, such as a surgeon, IT-specialist, analyst and genetic engineer will certainly retain their positions. Consequently, these professions will remain well-paid for a long time.

Have you made your choice? If you have not, we would advise you to look through the list of the most popular professions in the world.

When the long exhausting semester and exams are over and you get your freedom, you have been looking forward to, it is time for traveling. Whether you go home to see your parents, on vacations to the sea side or hitchhiking around Europe, there are some simple tips and hints, which may help you to get ready for your trip quickly and easily, reduce your anticipation stress and minimize possibility of unpleasant surprises.

Travel Packing List

The first thing is the list. It might sound boring, but believe me, it is worth creating it. If you are the person, who easily forget to put important stuff into the suitcase, or the person, who use only half of the taken clothes in the trip, you will be very much relieved to have it. I have more good news for you – you have to create it just once and then you can use it any time you feel this travel lust in your bloodstream. I have created a few lists depending on the purpose of my trip. They are: business trip packing list, home trip packing list, seaside packing list and yes, I have a separate packing list for gym and swimming pool, because I have a memory of a gold fish. I keep my lists in my Evernotes application and thus can access them from my phone, home and office computers and, if I edit them, they synchronize immediately. More than that, I have shared them with all my best friends (because I am that kind) and they liked them a lot.

Important Things

I suggest having a few categories in each of the packing lists. My first category is called “Important Things” and contains the following items: passport, money, credit and debit cards, tickets, mobile phone, charger and medicines. I put a tick to the box in front of each item and then put those things to the bag. For sure your list of important things may be different, though needless to say that your trip will not last long without tickets, documents and financial resources.

Gadgets and Devices

My second category is “Gadgets and Devices”. Here I list everything that technology is offering us today, i.e. electrical toothbrush, laptop, its charger (please always specify each and every charge separately, because better safe than sorry), Kindle, camera, hair dryer, flesh drives and ear phones, etc. The most fragile ones need to travel with you in your hand luggage, keep also the chargers you might need on your way in it.

Clothes and Shoes

Then it is probably time to think about your clothes and shoes. I have stopped folding my clothes, as it has been recommended by some life hacker, I now roll it. It was a brilliant advice, as somehow it really helps to save space and minimize wrinkles. By the way, knitted, woven and jersey garments are the best to travel with, as they always look good and don`t need ironing after unpacking. If you need something warm with you (and my personal opinion is that everyone needs something warm while travelling, as I easily get cold, especially on board of a plane) choose cashmere. Not only it is warm, it is also very soft and will look good even if you use it instead of a pillow.

Learning from Mistakes

For those who tend to bring excessive wardrobe everywhere, I highly recommend an audit upon returning back. Look through your clothes and make a mental notes on those items, which you have not used in your trip. The best option is to amend the packing list upon arrival, removing items you have not used and adding items you were missing.

Grooming

Next category is “Grooming”. It is of vital importance for ladies, who usually need much more staff than gentlemen. My advice is to itemize literally everything you might need. Not only you will feel more comfortable, knowing you have everything you need with you, you might avoid spending a lot of money as well. Never take the whole bottles of shampoo, creams and lotions with you. Buy a set of travel size refillable containers and bottles or travel size (i.e. not more than 100 ml) versions of your favorable products. Thus your luggage will become a way lighter and you may have your favorite items in your hand luggage.

Hand Luggage

Speaking about hand luggage… Though I don`t want to spoil your mood before your trip, but if you go by plane, always remember that checked in luggage may be delayed or lost. Try to put essential items to your hand luggage and let me wish you a very safe and comfortable trip.

Always, even in the most difficult times, on the labor market, employers would like to see people who are willing to achieve results, who love their job, and are highly motivated to develop themselves. It is an important advice for choosing a profession – do not chase the most popular professions and do what you love to do.

It is necessary to do things that you love, be open to new knowledge and strive to achieve professionalism.

However, today we will talk about the most popular jobs in the world. So, let us start!

IT-Specialists

IT-sphere is one of the most fast-growing industries in the world and the undisputed leader in demand for specialists. Therefore, IT-specialists will not lose their popularity in the next five years. However, the rapid development of this industry and modern technology will cause the emergence of innovative professions, which we do not even imagine now.

In the meantime, we can say that IT-specialists will be in demand. For several years the specialists of this profession among the other professions are in minority. In most cases, employers need Java programmers, C++ and C# developers, as well designers of Big Data and mobile platforms. Multichannel will ensure stable demand the online marketers.

Medical Specialists

Experts carry positive prognoses for specialists in medicine and pharmacy. Being healthy and beautiful today is fashionable and prestigious. The universal desire to care about health, youth, and beauty ensures the growth of the popularity of these professions. Another reason for the increasing demand for these professionals is the development of new technologies and their use in the diagnosis and treatment systems. The medical profession has been and always will be in demand.

If we talk about the most popular areas of medical practice, there are primarily diagnostics (ultrasound, MRI, CT), cardiology, oncology, neurosurgery, pediatrics, and gynecology. Over the next five years, an increase in demand in two or three times will be experienced for nutritionists, homeopaths, psychologists, doctors, non-traditional healing practices (Tibetan, Chinese, and others).

Salespeople and Marketers

Sales managers, salesmen and marketing specialists, office managers and executives in the business development were in demand a year ago. However, they are still popular among employers nowadays.

A fairly high level of salary is offered by companies for salespeople, professionals who are working with clients, and all those who are ready to expand and better the business. Low competition for one workplace is consistently recorded among the blue-collar occupations, so today, these professionals can find work easy enough.

Agriculture

The agricultural market continues to demonstrate its activity. During the last few years the interest in agricultural jobs has increased due to the foreign investments in enterprises. Many companies are attracted to youth internships for further employment of the interns. The demand for agricultural specialists will grow.

Experts in the Sphere of Tourism

A person’s striving to travel increases with each year. Even yesterday, a trip for a picnic was just a dream for an ordinary family. Today, people are drawn to the Red Sea, or to the green Himalayas. Directing the customers to the right place, finding the most appropriate route and way to reach the destination, as well as providing a comfortable stay is a work of a professional tourism manager.

Ecologists

The “nerd” experts in environmental education have become the rulers of the world. Humans are close to being buried in the trash, emissions, and exhaust. Without the express solution for the conflict with nature, the humans’ self-destruct program can be accelerated. Today, the only hope is in hands of environmentalists. For the salvation of humanity, people are ready to pay a lot of money to those who know how to save the world from an environmental disaster.

Chemists

The holy human’s faith in the immensity of the natural resources is broken. The energies of the earth will not be enough. Today, the word is united in a search for alternative sources of energy as well as in the ways to increase the energy efficiency. Production of solar panels, individual heating systems, air conditioning systems requires new technologies and new solutions. Thus, anyone who has a diploma on Chemistry will definitely be in demand in the close future.

Nanotechnologists

Nanotechnologies are applied in the spheres of mechanical engineering, medicine, and even the food industry. Every day range of applications of robots and chips expands, and thus, the demand for specialists in the sphere of nanotechnology grows.

Journalist and Image Maker

Any serious company cannot work without promoting their products or services at the information market. Describing the competitive advantages of the company and its unique (or trivial) product in the correct words is a task for professional.

Service Experts

A business lady wants to have a beauty expert handy. A top manager does not want to go to the hairdresser who is located at the other side of the city, and a highly-educated kindergarten teacher must be based in the residential complex. Such requests give birth to the demand of millions of specialists in the sphere of service and education. Therefore, hairdressers, beauticians, governess are required not only have a talent from God, but also the diploma of the best educational center.

Specialists in Engineering

This job can be chosen by those who plan to keep up with the progress. The rapid development of the construction industry and industrial automation is just around the corner. The main thing is not to be lazy and to delve into the intricacies of production.
