劍橋大學(xué)是英國一所頂尖大學(xué)，學(xué)校目前有三十一所獨(dú)立自治學(xué)院，以及150所學(xué)院等研究機(jī)構(gòu)。雖然劍橋大學(xué)每年都招收很多國際學(xué)生，但是錄取標(biāo)準(zhǔn)相當(dāng)嚴(yán)格。那么國際學(xué)生想要成功去劍橋大學(xué)留學(xué)，應(yīng)該如何準(zhǔn)備呢?下面和出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)一起來看看吧。
Studying at Cambridge
Going to study in another country, another culture and possibly in another language can be a daunting prospect. The online learning tool has been designed to help international students prepare for studies at Cambridge prior to arrival. The interactive training modules have been developed primarily for students who have English as a second language and have not previously studied in the UK although other international students unfamiliar with UK Higher Education and Cambridge may find some aspects useful. Whilst the modules have been written for graduate students, undergraduates are likely to find them a useful introduction to study at Cambridge in the context of developing academic English skills.
The aim of the online learning tool is to guide you in what to expect from academic study at university in the UK, introduce you to cultural aspects of life and study and help prepare you for the transition to Cambridge and its methods of teaching and learning. Both students and academics have contributed to the development of the modules and you will read and hear their views on a wide range of matters central to successful studying in English as part of the modules. Each section features activities, audio clips and videos, and offers notes on UK HE and the University of Cambridge, its history, culture and conventions. We hope that this will help you prepare for your studies here and will be of use to you during them too.
Your College, Faculty or Department will send you information to prepare yourself for your time in Cambridge. You may also find it useful to look through the general information for new students on student registration and University policies.
在劍橋大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)：
前往另一個(gè)國家、另一種文化、甚至可能是另外一種語言的地方學(xué)習(xí)可能是一個(gè)讓人望而生畏的事情。網(wǎng)上學(xué)習(xí)工具旨在幫助國際學(xué)生在抵達(dá)劍橋大學(xué)之前，為自己接下來在劍橋大學(xué)的學(xué)習(xí)做好準(zhǔn)備。交互式訓(xùn)練模塊已經(jīng)發(fā)展成為主要針對以英語作為第二語言，并且之前沒有在英國學(xué)習(xí)過的學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)。雖然其他的國際學(xué)生并不熟悉英國高等教育制度，但是劍橋大學(xué)可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)一些有用的東西。雖然這個(gè)模塊的信息是提供給研究生學(xué)生，但是本科學(xué)生也可能在發(fā)展學(xué)術(shù)英語能力的情況下，找到一些有關(guān)在劍橋大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)的有用信息。
在線學(xué)習(xí)工具的目的在于指導(dǎo)你了解自己想要從在英國大學(xué)的學(xué)習(xí)中獲得什么，為你介紹生活和學(xué)習(xí)方面的相關(guān)信息，并且?guī)椭氵m應(yīng)劍橋大學(xué)的學(xué)習(xí)和生活。學(xué)生和學(xué)者都對于這個(gè)模塊的發(fā)展作出了一定貢獻(xiàn)，你可以了解到他們對于成功學(xué)習(xí)的很多問題的看法。每一個(gè)特定活動(dòng)、音頻剪輯和視頻、以及提議都會(huì)在英國高等教育以及劍橋大學(xué)、它的歷史、文化以及傳統(tǒng)留下印記。我們希望這個(gè)能夠幫助你為在劍橋大學(xué)的學(xué)習(xí)做好準(zhǔn)備，并且在你之后的學(xué)習(xí)生活中也是有用的。
你的學(xué)院、系或者部門會(huì)提供給你一些信息，告訴你如何為自己在劍橋大學(xué)的學(xué)習(xí)做好準(zhǔn)備。除此之外，瀏覽學(xué)生注冊和大學(xué)政策上面提供給新學(xué)生的一般信息也是一個(gè)很有用的方式。
Developing Academic English Skills
Since you will study in English, the University requires all applicants to demonstrate competence in the English language at a very high level and in an idiom suitable to their subject before beginning their proposed course of study. Do not be surprised if you experience a period of linguistic, cultural, and academic acclimatisation on arrival. You may need to work continuously on refining your academic English literacy skills throughout your time at Cambridge. After all, these skills are not innate for native speakers but must be learned and continually practiced and refined.
The University provides many sources of guidance and support for students whose first language is not English to ensure that they can achieve their academic potential. However, in preparation it is helpful if you recognise the challenges that studying in English will pose. This is not simply in terms of language proficiency, but more importantly in terms of the approach and conventions of academic English, which may vary quite considerably from those of your first language.
Experience with students whose first language is not English shows that where they encounter difficulties this has far more to do with their lack of awareness of the expectations and conventions of studying in English and far less to do with their competency in the language.
The Academic Development & Training for International Students (ADTIS) section at the Language Centre offers programmes and support to students who wish to improve their academic English literacy skills.
提高學(xué)術(shù)英語語言能力：
因?yàn)槟銓?huì)進(jìn)行英語授課的專業(yè)課程學(xué)習(xí)，所以劍橋大學(xué)要求所有的申請者，在開始自己的意向?qū)I(yè)課程學(xué)習(xí)之前，證明自己的英語語言能力達(dá)到一個(gè)比較高的水平，并且能夠理解適合學(xué)科的慣用語言。如果在到達(dá)之后經(jīng)歷了一段時(shí)間的語言、文化、和學(xué)術(shù)適應(yīng)期，請不要驚訝。當(dāng)你在劍橋大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)的整個(gè)期間，你可能需要繼續(xù)努力，來提供你的學(xué)術(shù)英語理解能力。畢竟，這些能力對于英語母語學(xué)生也不是先天性的，也是需要學(xué)習(xí)和不斷實(shí)踐提高的。
劍橋大學(xué)提供很多的資源來指導(dǎo)和支持第一語言不是英語的學(xué)生，來保證他們可以實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的學(xué)術(shù)潛力。但是，在留學(xué)準(zhǔn)備過程中，如果你意識(shí)到英語學(xué)習(xí)于你而言可能是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)的話，那么這些資源對你也是很有幫助的。這不僅僅只是在語言能力方面，而更重要的是在學(xué)術(shù)英語的語言方式和慣例方面，這可能與你的第一語言有很大的不同。
有關(guān)對于第一語言不是英語的學(xué)生的研究顯示，在他們遇到困難的地方，這更多的是和他們?nèi)鄙儆⒄Z學(xué)習(xí)的期望和習(xí)慣意識(shí)有關(guān)，而與他的英語語言能力關(guān)系不大。
劍橋大學(xué)語言中心的國際學(xué)生學(xué)術(shù)發(fā)展和訓(xùn)練(ADTIS)提供了很多的課程學(xué)習(xí)，并且對于想要提供自己的學(xué)術(shù)英語語言能力的學(xué)生提供了很多幫助和支持。
