I majored in French as an undergraduate. After visiting the work, I found that the employment direction was not suitable for me and switched to teaching. I find that teaching is always a job full of novelty for me, which requires constant learning and constant collision with people's thoughts. I like this profession very much, but considering my poor academic qualifications, in order to have a better career prospect, I came up with the idea of taking the postgraduate entrance examination. I thought about taking the postgraduate entrance examination, but I found that the choice of taking the postgraduate entrance examination for French majors is relatively narrow, and I can only take the French language and literature or translation, and it is very difficult. Each school only accepts a few students every year, and nearly half of the places are given to students who are exempt from exams. Therefore, I decided to take an interdisciplinary examination and chose Chinese international education in combination with my actual situation.
After deciding on a major, choose a school. You can list your own requirements, such as professional ranking, city and school level (area A, area B, 985,211...), and then choose from the institutions that meet your requirements. For example, I chose Nankai because my requirements at that time were: northern universities and foreign universities can take French exams and enroll more than 15. Based on these conditions, I set my goal as Nankai. Nankai University is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education, with 985,265,438+065,438+0, double-class. It is the alma mater of beloved Premier Zhou and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. Nankai China Language and Culture College is one of the eight bases for teaching Chinese as a foreign language in China, with a strong faculty. Nankai is in Tianjin, near Beijing, and its resources are still good. Nankai University attaches great importance to the construction of Chinese international education degree. At present, the school has eight foreign professional practice bases, including the Confucius Institute of Hanna University in Jeju, the Confucius Institute of Aichi University, the Confucius Institute of Yedi University, the Confucius Institute of Maryland University, the Confucius Institute of Andean University, the Confucius Institute of Nuoou Business School, the Confucius Institute of Minio University and the Confucius Institute of Glasgow University. So I was very excited about Nankai and decided to be my first college directly. I am lonely and brave. Of course, when choosing a school, you can also find the real question. Take a look at the topic first and see if you are good at it. If you really can't cope, then change schools as soon as possible. For example, the second culture mentioned by Xiamen University is too broad for me.
Let's talk about Han Shuo's postgraduate entrance examination in Nankai. About 400 candidates apply for Nankai every year. In previous years, the number of students admitted was around 20-30, so the admission ratio was neither high nor low. The specific quota will be notified in official website every year, and candidates can pay attention to it in advance (only four students were admitted to class 202/kloc-0, mainly because the school was changing the question type and the direction of the question type. In fact, class 2020 was changed, but there were many students. The following is a bibliography of Nankai Han Shuo:

Since 2020, Han Shuo in Nankai has paid more attention to real-time language phenomena and cultural hot spots, and stopped investigating the dead knowledge in books on a large scale. Therefore, on the basis of learning professional courses well, it is also helpful to pay more attention to teachers' research direction and look at their representative papers.

Modern Chinese is the main book to review the basic knowledge of Chinese, followed by Mr. Lu's Practical Grammar Course for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. These two books must be taken seriously.
Modern Chinese mainly focuses on phonetics, grammar, vocabulary and Chinese characters. After the first time, the second time can be reviewed in turn according to the four sections. For example, the phonetic part should master the international phonetic symbols, phonetic features, phoneme variants, tone sandhi, spelling rules and so on. Chinese character configuration, stroke order, radicals, etc. Word formation, disjunctive words, semantic field, synonym discrimination, etc. Grammar review is particularly important, because the knowledge points of grammar basically include all types, so it is more flexible to examine. Therefore, when reviewing grammar, we must pay attention to understanding, read more notes after class and review with various questions. Moreover, there are many examples in the grammar part of modern Chinese. These examples need not be memorized. Just find a few classic examples and memorize them. At that time, the senior who instructed me said that grammar review skills should focus on understanding. During her postgraduate entrance examination, not only did she recite the words skillfully, but she also spoke many examples accurately.
What needs special attention is that the repetition rate of real questions in Nankai over the years is still very high, so when reviewing, you can add exercises corresponding to real questions in the recitation stage, which is more conducive to controlling the important and difficult points. A knowledge point can be asked from many directions. According to the real questions over the years, we can master the knowledge points more comprehensively by analyzing NTU's strategy, investigation direction and style. In the final stage, you should also summarize and test your review through real questions. It is best not to buy real questions from a platform and use them directly. You should learn to summarize and sort out the answers by yourself, check the knowledge points in the textbook, and at least convince yourself. In the review stage of the real questions, I suggest you go to the seniors for counseling. First, the accuracy of the answers to real questions can be guaranteed. Second, the explanation of the real knowledge points will be unclear according to their own ideas. Therefore, the experience of the seniors who went ashore is particularly important.
The annual exam of the Chinese Character Creation Method may be confusing at first, but it is easy to get interested by accumulating a little every day and reading Shuo Wen Jie Zi. In fact, I didn't have much review time at that time. Every time my senior sister is in class, she will ask me how to make words from time to time. After a long time, I formed a habit, and when I saw the words, I couldn't help but want to open them. In fact, if you observe and practice more, you will find that Chinese characters are regular, and some can be classified and memorized. Of course, we still need to find a suitable way to remember ~
Regarding the discrimination of synonyms, we can review the ideas in Peng Xiaochuan's Grammar Explanation for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language 20 1 Case, and avoid rote memorization. Memorizing synonyms by rote can be confusing, so you must understand the meaning more, remember several common aspects, such as the differences in time, style, collocation and pragmatics, and cultivate your ability to distinguish.
Teacher Lu's Practical Grammar Course for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language is also good-looking. The teacher's book of Nankai University is self-evident. Besides reviewing grammar rules, we should also practice after-school exercises in each chapter. The difficulty of after-class questions is generally less than that of real questions, but according to after-class questions, you can more clearly grasp the learning ideas and the division of important and difficult points in each chapter. Also, when reviewing, you should stand on the standpoint of books and understand the word "foreign" well. After all, our major is international education!

Cheng's Introduction to China Culture (4th Edition) must be carefully read. Sometimes the choice of fill-in-the-blank questions is more detailed in the exam, and you will understand when you do the real questions. For example, there is a question in the real question of 2020. Who is the ninth son of the dragon? These knowledge points may be noticed during review, but most of them may not be carefully remembered and feel irrelevant. Therefore, you must pay attention to the details when you endorse, and you must also do the questions after class. Mind mapping can be established when you endorse, and it will be clearer to remember according to the timeline. For example, the source development of calligraphy and painting, the characteristics of each period. After sorting out the timeline, look for small details according to the big framework and connect all the knowledge points in series, so that you don't have to worry about not mastering them completely when reviewing.
The book An Introduction to China Culture is all about big topics, but you will know after reading it. The writing of this book is vivid and not difficult to understand, but the content is relatively more. When reviewing, everyone should make a good thinking frame and mark the key points. For big questions, the knowledge points are mainly based on understanding, and then the key words inside must be remembered. When writing specific answers according to keywords in the exam, you must distinguish the answers.
If the introduction doesn't take a big score, it will basically lead to big problems. This book is the foundation of the whole major, so we must pay attention to it in the review process. At that time, in order to improve the learning efficiency, my senior shared her notes for preparing for the exam with me, so that I could review them with my notes. If you understand the book "Introduction to Pedagogy of Chinese as a Foreign Language", the thinking is actually very clear, which contains several aspects, such as psychology, pedagogy, acquisition theory and teaching methods. After I roughly sorted out my thoughts, my senior asked me to summarize my study notes to deepen my memory.
Introduction to Cross-cultural Communication is a book written by Nankai teacher. In previous years, it was basically a big exam, mainly a case study. The explanation of survey words (subjective culture) in 2020 is the content of this book. Some students didn't notice this, and the score of 445 may not be ideal. For case analysis questions, the content of the answer must be useful. Don't write a cliche with a template. Combine the knowledge points of books to sort out your own answering ideas and provide specific solutions.
About foreign languages
Although Han Shuo is a master, he has high requirements for foreign languages and takes an English test. However, I took the French exam myself, using catti level 3 reference books for preparation. Because there are no real questions, I can only accumulate words to review grammar and recite some composition templates. For cross-examination of small languages, these are enough. Nankai Han Shuo's second foreign language French is 244 French, focusing on subjective questions and grammar. Students with French cross-examination can review in a targeted way.
Politics is mainly a subjective question in the early stage of multiple-choice questions, which can be reviewed in September-June. 10. Politics is divided into several parts: philosophy, modern history, ideology, politics and current affairs. Generally speaking, you can choose a teacher, follow his online class, brush the multiple-choice questions two or three times, and then recite the subjective questions almost half a month before the exam. Multiple-choice questions are divided into single-choice questions and multiple-choice questions. Multiple-choice questions, fewer-choice questions and wrong-choice questions are not scored, so those who win more will win the world. It's just teacher Xiao's bucket.
About the exam:
Tips for taking the exam: Han Shuo is a major with many things to recite. After August, I basically recited it, but there are also some tips for reciting it. I read aloud in an open place alone, recite it for an hour or two, then go back to the study room to read grammar or ancient Chinese, then go out to recite another book, and change places from time to time, such as the roof of the bedroom, the roof of the library and the stairwell, which will deepen my memory. In addition, I also prepared some small cards to write down the detailed knowledge points that are easy to forget, so that I can review them in scattered time between classes. Finally, make good use of the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve in the mobile APP to plan the daily reciting content, which can be downloaded to help you remember. If there are difficulties in specialized courses, you may wish to sign up for a specialized course remedial class. It is better to have a teacher to answer the questions.
About the second interview:
Due to the epidemic situation, the re-examination is conducted in the form of remote comprehensive interview, and the questions extraction and interview questions and answers of the network re-examination need to be carried out under video connection. Before the exam, you need to prepare the corresponding network equipment according to the exam requirements of the college. Nankai is a remote interview system using Xue Xin. Com, with flying book as backup system, dual-computer mode.
Nankai's second interview is a comprehensive interview, and all candidates choose their own questions and answer them. When taking an exam, you must pay attention to your attitude and voice. Teachers are very friendly, so students must calm down and deal with it calmly. Because the teacher also understands that under the condition of high tension, candidates can't answer every question perfectly, so candidates only need to answer as completely as possible and cooperate with the questions.
About mentality:
In terms of learning methods, because of the cross-examination, I have explored many methods, which are worth learning and have shortcomings. Mentally, we should constantly give ourselves positive hints, and don't be too anxious when encountering bottlenecks, because everyone will encounter such a period of time, so we must believe in ourselves and stick to it. In the end, no matter what the outcome is, it is actually a stage and choice of life, hoping to get more opportunities for struggle. Your own struggle is actually a good process of getting rid of your original self. Life has to go on, and everyone needs long-term uninterrupted transformation to change themselves. Come on, I'll wait for you at Nanda!
