[留学朋友圈]在美国留学 薅一把大学的免费“羊毛”

2017-09-18 13:11:59   央广网

编者按:《全球华语广播网》推出一档新栏目《留学朋友圏》,从周一到周五,每天你都会看到地球那一端、五大洲留学生的观察视线和声音讲述,听到他们的日常学习、他们的生活出行、他们的成长纪录,让《留学朋友圏》栏目,成为一台记录中国在全球化进程中,教育人文交流的留声机。

以下为经历分享:

大家好,我是ANGELA,就读于北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校UNC-CHAPEL HILL,我们学校的中英文名字挺长,好像这样才能配上它美国排名第一公立大学的身份。

今天想跟大家分享一则有关合理利用美国高校免费资源的经验——只要你有心,人人都能薅到大学的免费“羊毛”。

从小到大,每到升学关口,英语绝对是我的弱项。我已经记不清从中学到考博、出国这中间,上过多少个英语补习班了。曾经我还跟朋友开玩笑说,估计从小到大我交给英语培训机构的钱都够买一辆车了。

让我万万没想到的是,来到美国留学居然有这么多机会可以让我免费学习外语,甚至还有一对一免费上课的机会。

刚到学校报到的第一天,学院组织的Orientation介绍了学校各种机构。混迹国内高校多年的我发现其中一个极为陌生的机构被老师多次提及,它就是——ESL,也就是English as a Second Language Center,学校附设的语言中心。

ESL是国外很普遍的一种教学机构,后来跟其他学校的小伙伴一打听才知道,基本每个美国大学都开设了这个机构。甚至一些学校还会要求学生选ESL的课程并修取相应的学分量,最关键的是免费的。

于是我立马申请了空闲时间内所有的ESL课程,从学术写作、到学术演讲、口语发音。

与国内语言教育不同的是,UNC-CHAPEL HILL的ESL课程更多的是针对于如何更省力地使用英语,来完成各种研究。比如,学术写作课会带领我们了解传统美国学术论文的结构以及每一部分的写作技巧,还会在课上留大量时间进行练习,老师再进行认真且具有针对性的批改。

再说学术演讲课,侧重于英语学术演讲的技巧。什么演讲的语音语调、演讲时的体态与肢体语言、面对提问时的“万金油”答案,还有针对PRESENTATION的PPT或POSTER的制作设计技巧。

口语发音课则是我们挤破头也要选上的课程之一,因为每个学生都会给配一位母语为英语的教育学或英语相关专业的美国志愿者,全程帮助我们纠正发音,练习对话。在课堂上,增进语言能力是一方面,结交来自不同国家的同学、扩展自己的人际交往圈子是另一大好处。我就在学术课上认识了来自日本、泰国、意大利、法国的小伙伴们。

除了英语课程之外,各大高校还配备了WRITING CENTER,义务帮助我们修订课程作业、学术论文。

总体上看,我个人认为美国高校对于学生基本科研能力的培养非常到位。除了ESL和WRITING CENTER这些英语语言上的帮助外,学校还开设了针对研究帮助中心,基本每周都有大量且免费的研究方法、研究软件等课程,欢迎学生与社会人士参加。

除了我提到的这两个学术资源之外,美国高校里还有很多不得不用的免费资源,像免费的法律帮助,可以帮你打官司,分析案子的成功胜诉率,还有免费的职业规划中心,帮你修改简历、指导面试等。

要到美国读书的小伙伴们,请多多关注下身边的各种资源服务——留心身边事,机遇自然来。
