What is a directly promoted language course?
The so-called language direct promotion class, as the name implies, is first of all a language training class; Secondly, it has a direct nature, that is, you can enter professional courses without taking IELTS or TOEFL.
The main purpose of language direct promotion class is to improve students' language ability, including listening, speaking, reading and writing; Different from the IELTS TOEFL standardized test, the course for the direct promotion class is based on future academic study, so the course not only improves basic language skills, but also includes academic learning-related contents, such as academic writing skills, academic discussion and communication skills, and so on. These skills are very important in future study. For example, many of our courses require writing papers, group discussions and making presentations. These are things that we rarely experience in domestic universities, and Australian universities have different requirements for these. Therefore, it is necessary to upgrade the language directly to the class. Almost every university in Australia can offer direct language classes, so we can use direct language classes with preparatory courses, freshman quick repairs, undergraduate courses, master's degrees and so on.
What are the advantages of the language promotion class?
(1) Provide a safer way to connect with future professional courses; Because of the uncertainty of IELTS, we can't guarantee that the next one or several exams can meet the requirements of the school. However, the probability of convergence of professional courses in language direct promotion classes is very high, not less than 80%.
(2) studying in the university language center and enjoying the same hardware equipment as the students in the university;
(3) Strengthen the language ability needed for academic study, including academic communication ability and academic writing ability. , so as to better connect professional courses;
(4) To solve the transition needs, many students hope to have a period of adaptation before the start of professional courses. Then, the language direct push course is only a short-term course that starts before the start of school.

Is it necessary to read a language?
On the Internet, people have different attitudes towards direct language classes. Some people think that it's not worth studying for the language promotion class, because the school cheats money. Some people think this is necessary and will be of great help to future study. Therefore, faced with different opinions, domestic students are completely at a loss.
In fact, this is due to their different perspectives. For students with strong language skills, there is naturally no need to go to the language direct class. It can save time and money to enter the major directly after passing IELTS or TOEFL. As for the papers, discussions, speeches and other forms of homework that are not suitable for Australian universities at first, these can be adapted while studying professional courses. There are also a large number of students who complete professional courses in this way.
For students with weak language ability, it is necessary for them to take language classes directly. First, if you don't read the language, the time for IELTS or TOEFL scores to reach the standard can't be determined, which will delay the enrollment of planned professional courses, and even cause professional courses to be postponed n times because of language problems. You should know that time is also money. In order to save the language cost of 10 week or even 25 weeks, is it a saving to delay for one and a half years?
In addition, for majors with extremely high IELTS requirements, such as 4 majors with 7 items or even 7.5 items in 7788. Asking yourself to meet this requirement before school starts really sets too high a standard for your progress. Therefore, we can achieve similar language scores and adopt the curve model of language course+professional course.
Finally, for majors that enroll students only once a year, delaying once is the loss of 1 year. Therefore, it is recommended to enroll in a language promotion class after getting enough grades. If you insist on taking IELTS, if you fail, you will lose twice as much time as other students.
