With the advancement of globalization, more and more Chinese high school graduates choose to study abroad after the college entrance examination. In the face of this trend, Preparatory Study Class has become an important bridge to overseas higher education. So, how about going to preparatory classes after the college entrance examination? This article will discuss its advantages and disadvantages as well as the key factors to be considered.
1、 Help students adapt to foreign education mode in advance
Compared with the domestic education system, foreign universities usually adopt small class system and discussion teaching. The preparatory courses can make students familiar with this teaching method before entering the university, and reduce the sense of maladjustment at the beginning of studying abroad.
2、 Preparatory courses are essential for improving language skills
Whether in English or other languages, the preparatory stage provides a large number of practical opportunities for students to receive intensive training in listening, speaking, reading and writing to meet the language requirements of overseas universities.
3、 Foundation courses also provide opportunities for cultural adaptation
In the preparatory class, students can gradually understand the culture and social customs of the target country, which is valuable preparation for future life and study. In addition, the exchange of international students during the preparatory period also helps to broaden the horizon, cultivate cross-cultural communication skills and independent life skills.
However, there are also potential shortcomings in choosing preparatory classes for studying abroad. Although it is convenient to study preparatory courses in China, it may lack real language environment and cultural immersion. While studying preparatory courses abroad, although the experience is more real, the cost is higher, and students need to have a certain ability to take care of themselves. In addition, the quality of preparatory courses varies from institution to institution, so care should be taken when selecting preparatory courses to ensure that they are recognized by the target university.
Finally, candidates should consider personal circumstances, such as college entrance examination results, economic conditions, future professional direction, etc. The preparatory course may not be the best choice for everyone. If the results are not ideal and you cannot directly apply to a good foreign university, the preparatory course is a good choice. For students with excellent scores, solid English foundation, clear professional direction and strong adaptability, it may be more appropriate to apply directly to universities.
