Tips for oversea students study in China
As living
conditions in China are getting better, parents who want their children to have
a bright future invest large sums of money to send their children to study
abroad in the hope that they can succeed in a special field of study and return
to China. However, experts remind parents that sending children to study abroad
does not mean that their children already have a carefree future.
Many examples have shown that
studying abroad is only the beginning. There are countless difficulties and
frustrations that students have to face and resolve when they study abroad.
Therefore, it is necessary for Chinese overseas students to be aware of certain
things to which they must pay attention.
1.
Safety issues
Safety issues before and after studying abroad have been one
of the focuses of parents. It should be said that in most cases, countries and
regions that Chinese overseas students live in are safe. However, parents and
students still need to pay attention to the safety issues and should not take
them lightly.
2.
Adjust mental attitudes
All experts from the website www.lxu.com.cn consider the
safety issues as well as the attitude adjustment and psychological preparation
as the two most important things for students studying abroad to consider.
The experts believe that students must clear their position
and set their mental attitude straight. They should know that they are going
abroad to study and receive training and not for leisure. And they should have
the attitude that not everything abroad is good and all things from China are
bad. Students should prepare themselves for the differences.
3.
Adjust to learning methods
Chinese students have been grown accustomed to the domestic
exam-oriented education style that is completely different from the more open
foreign education mode. They will face changes in education methods when
studying abroad and cannot adapt well to the new form within a short period.
The period of adaptation can be shortened considerably if
parents can make some preparations before their children's overseas studies,
such as learning about the differences between the domestic and foreign
education styles and providing their children with more solutions to adapting
to the open education method in order to make them mentally and practically
prepared. This will help the students adjust to overseas studies more easily.
4.
Make and adhere to learning plans
Making and strictly adhering to proper learning plans is one
aspect of learning ability. There should be both macro and detailed learning
plans. Macro learning plans require students to hold on to the primary
direction of their overseas studies and detailed learning plans require them to
arrange learning content for each course and semester according to their own
objectives and school requirements.
Students should formulate plans consistent with their
practical condition and may ask related teachers to help make plans. After the
plan is formulated, they should strictly adhere to them. Otherwise, the plan
will have no effect.
5.
Parents should help children with financial planning
Chinese students mostly do not have awareness of financial
management, so it is easier for them to spend extravagantly without
supervision. Parents should help their children with financial planning. They
should not only help them make consumption plans but also often check their
accounts to learn of their children's financial condition in a timely manner.
6.
Be willing to communicate
Communicating will be the toughest problem facing children
after they leave home. As they are not familiar with the place and people, and
have no relatives by their sides, the first feeling they will feel is
loneliness, which makes it especially important to learn to communicate with
people around them.
The first step of learning to communicate is to develop the
courage to open your mouth and talk with others. Foreigners really like
children who are good at communicating and willing to solve problems through
open communication. The second step is to learn to understand the culture and
customs of local people as well as the preferences and habits of conversation
partners, so that communication will be effective and pleasing, which is the
ultimate goal for learning to communicate.
7.
Develop self-motivation and initiative for learning
The most basic thing that children need to know is that
studying abroad requires more self-motivation and independent learning skills.
Foreign children are used to learning by themselves in or after class, but Chinese
children are used to teacher-oriented education.
Chinese children mainly listen and take notes in class, do
homework and take numerous exams. Guided and supervised by parents and
teachers, they may score high in exams, but they may have lost their
self-motivation and initiative for learning. Foreign education is
student-oriented.
It is hard for parents to supervise their children who study
overseas, so it is particularly important for children to develop
self-motivation and initiative for learning.
