Information: Cultural assessment questions will be added to the application for studying in the United States.

According to the China International Education Exhibition 20 10, with the launch of the American Cultural Assessment Examination, intercultural communication ability is expected to become a reference factor in the evaluation of American application for studying abroad.

It is understood that the American Cultural Assessment Examination will be launched in the autumn of 20 1 1 and will be piloted in some American universities.

American colleges and universities can use this test to evaluate the level of understanding American culture and the readiness to integrate into American society for international students applying to the United States. Enterprises and institutions can also test the intercultural communication ability of foreigners working in the United States through this test.

Some experts pointed out that some international students studying in the United States could not integrate into the local society because of their insufficient cultural adaptability, which led to psychological problems and even extreme behavior. Adding relevant tests and providing counseling to the application for studying abroad can not only help students prepare well, but also contribute to the development of studying abroad.

In fact, American immigrants have always had similar cultural tests, such as the color of the American flag, American history, and who was the first president? This will enhance the national identity of new immigrants in the United States. The current "American study abroad culture test" is estimated to be exactly the same.

Having said that, let's take a look at various related statements about American immigrants. First of all, the Immigration Bureau is the Citizenship and Immigration Service, or USCIS for short, and both foreign students and new immigrants have to deal with this institution. In addition, the test we just mentioned is called "immigration test" or "citizenship question". You can literally see the purpose of this test.
