The RT3000 v2, launched in 2005, set the standard for automotive testing, becoming the reference system for testing across the automotive industry including for Euro NCAP testing, the v3 has raised the bar even further.
At OxfordAQA, we have a unique tool to make sure the language in our exam papers is as clear as possible. It gives international students who speak English as a second language the same chance to achieve a top grade as native English speakers.
An exam is not valid if complex vocabulary prevents students from displaying their skills and knowledge in a subject. We use the Oxford 3000 across our International GCSE, AS and A-level exams to make sure that all students can focus on the key terms and understand the task they have to complete in an exam question.
This means that all our OxfordAQA exam papers can be benchmarked to a maximum B2 level in the CEFR framework, as a level of English that is accessible to non-native English speakers at GCSE, AS and A-level.
International student for whom English is a Second language are not disadvantaged, because the language in our question papers is accessible and guarantees that they can give their best to demonstrate their subject skills.
*The Oxford 3000 is a list of the 3000 most important words to learn in English. The keywords of the Oxford 3000 have been carefully selected by a group of language experts and experienced teachers as the words which should receive priority in vocabulary study because of their importance and usefulness.
1.3 billion people around the world speak English either natively or as a second language. This clearly makes English the lingua franca of Earth. But every day more people emerge wanting to learn English faster and easier.
Now, you probably heard about Oxford Practice Grammar before, but what about the Oxford 3000? If you want to work smarter, not harder, and build your English vocabulary fast with high-frequency, high-value words, read on to find out more.
The good news is that when it comes to the English language, Oxford University Press made it easy for you and actually put together a list of the most important words you have to learn to achieve a certain language level. This list is known as the Oxford 3000 and it includes the 3000 most important words in English.
Additionally, there is an extended list of 5000 words called the Oxford 5000 which will give learners a very high coverage of the words they are likely to encounter or use in spoken or written communication in English.
Launched in 2005, the aim of the Oxford 3000-word list is to help learners identify the high-frequency, high-value words that are especially useful when it comes to learning English as a second language.
