Introduction to preparatory courses
Many students are not very clear about the "Korean preparatory course for studying abroad", and it is easy to listen to the opinions of some educational institutions, which leads to being deceived. In fact, preparatory classes are preparatory courses before studying abroad. On the basis of language learning, help foreign students learn Korean economy, culture and life guide. Generally speaking, three months' preparatory classes in China are enough. Spending too long is not necessarily a good thing.
Some so-called "preparatory classes for studying in Korea in a university" boast their docking modes of "1+4" and "2+2". In fact, they are all affiliated with a university or rented university facilities. They are actually using the reputation of the university to deceive students. The tuition fee of this course is not cheaper than that of foreign countries, and the quality of teachers is uneven and the time is long. After studying for a year, you may not be able to study directly as an undergraduate. Another serious problem is that Korean universities simply don't admit it. Therefore, it is suggested to find a short-term prestigious preparatory class in China, about 3 months, which is the most suitable course for preparation before studying abroad. After studying in Korea for 3 months, because I have a foundation, the grammar I learned in China is more systematic and clearer than that taught by Korean teachers, so my grades are basically good, which will play a great role in my future promotion to undergraduate courses. Remember, three months is the shelf life of language interest.
A good preparatory class for studying abroad in South Korea, in addition to the necessary language courses, should also help students gradually liberate themselves from passive education and cultivate the spirit of active learning and independent research. Preparatory classes for studying abroad should also be combined with the characteristics of China students to help them choose the courses of future university majors, and do a good job in career design and major selection. It guarantees the study and life of students after entering the undergraduate course.
The characteristics of preparatory classes can be summarized as "three effectives": effective use of time, effective use of money and effective reduction of pressure. From preparation for studying abroad to going abroad, make effective use of the blank time to learn Korean and make the most direct preparation for studying abroad. This can avoid the dilemma of language barrier when I first arrived in Korea. If you study in the preparatory course in China, you can be fully prepared to adapt to the language environment, food, clothing, housing and transportation in Korea, and your study and life in Korea will become more comfortable.
Application preparation
Preparatory course type
At present, there are mainly two kinds of preparatory courses in China. One is the preparatory course with relatively loose curriculum management in China. Most courses last from three months to half a year, and some even last for one month. Some standardized school-running institutions took advantage of the loopholes, found a classroom and hired several amateur teachers to open preparatory courses, but students' ability tests often only reached the primary level, and some only recognized a few words. When I arrived in Korea, I couldn't take university courses and had to spend money to learn the language again, which led to the postponement of my university studies.
And a sound preparatory course. How to tell? First of all, the qualifications for running a school and the teaching settings are sound. In the true sense, the cooperative project between Chinese and foreign universities is the supervised teaching of foreign universities, and students reach the intermediate level or above through more than half a year's study. This preparatory course has full-time teachers, independent school buildings, students boarding all day and studying for more than ten hours every day. After this preparatory course, the actual level of students is above the intermediate level, and four-year universities can graduate normally or half a year ahead of schedule, laying the foundation for future employment. However, this preparatory institution has invested too much, which is rare in China at present.
Language standards should not be ignored.
The standardized preparatory college has set up different teaching plans and teaching arrangements for overseas students with different language levels, especially those with zero language foundation. The college has given comprehensive and professional language follow-up, and professional Korean teachers have strengthened pre-school pronunciation to meet the needs of students with different language levels. Professional teachers, perfect teaching equipment, semi-militarized management mode, localized language training, and original textbooks in line with the actual situation in Korea are the guarantee for students' needs, which can lay the foundation for students to study in Korean universities and provide guarantee for completing their studies and future employment.
It is very important to choose preparatory courses in China. Loose preparatory courses only reach the second grade level in one year, and there is no full-time teacher to teach them, especially some preparatory courses. In universities, their classrooms, language labs and accommodation are all used by undergraduates, which makes teaching and management very inadequate. It is difficult to meet the standards in a short time, which will cause losses to students studying in Korea.
In fact, the first-class universities in South Korea have very strict language requirements. Many students who go abroad can only enter the independent accounting language school in the university, which has nothing to do with the university itself. To enter a foreign language school, students often need to spend 65,438+0-200,000 yuan on the language stage, and their Korean proficiency must reach 4-5 or above. One of the reasons for studying in South Korea is the low cost, and the result is not only not low, but even exceeds that of European and American countries, which makes many parents complain.
Economic input should be clear.
If you want to enter the first-class universities in South Korea at a low cost, I might as well give you a suggestion: in the standardized preparatory courses in China, you can get a certificate of language level 3 or above in the shortest time (about half a year) and go abroad to enter a higher-level language course directly. This not only shortens the language stage, but also ensures low-cost access to universities.
The future of studying abroad is bright, but the process of studying abroad is important. Therefore, it is suggested that parents must choose preparatory colleges with high teaching quality, strict management and formal qualifications in China to lay a solid language foundation for students and relieve worries for completing their studies and future employment.
To study in Korea, you must first pass the language barrier. In recent years, many foreign students are eager to get visas before going abroad, ignoring the language requirements. When I arrived in Korea, I found myself lacking in language, helpless in communication and learning obstacles. Therefore, it is particularly important to study in Korea.
