Application requirements and language courses for studying in Australia

To apply for studying in Australia, not only the academic background must meet the school standards, but also a certain language level. Students are generally required to score IELTS 6-6.5 (individual majors such as translation, education, law, etc. have higher requirements). But for domestic students, it is not easy to reach this level before going abroad. Most international students still need to study in the Australian Language Center for some time. Language curriculum requirements

The school will assign students a relative language cycle according to the IELTS scores submitted by students or the language tests in the school and the admission requirements of the main courses. According to the immigration law, the longest visa period for 1-2 is 60 weeks, and for 3-4, it is 40 weeks. However, the language courses of most applicants in Australian universities are generally 10 -30 weeks:

For example, IELTS requires undergraduate students to have a total score of 6.5 and a single subject of not less than 6.

A. If students get four 6 points, the general school will assign them 10 weeks of language study;

B. The students scored 6 points, and the single subject score was less than 6 points. The general language cycle was 10 week 15 week.

C. If you get 5.5 points, some schools will allocate 20 weeks of languages. (specifically subject to school regulations)

The teaching time is generally 20 hours per week, with autonomous learning 15 hours.

Advantages and disadvantages of reading language course

profit

? English teaching, experienced teachers, improve listening and speaking ability and understand Australian culture.

? Flexible choice, in the case that IELTS can't meet the direct main course requirements for the time being, 10 week language learning must be? Roast duck? Gospel.

? Time flies. When you first arrive in Australia, you should not only adapt to school, but also to life in Australia. 10 week's language learning pressure is less than that of the main course, and the activity space is larger. Students can not only learn the language, but also better adapt to life here.

? In addition to English, language schools also provide skills training for preparatory, undergraduate and graduate students, and give students some notes and thesis training. If you use the library and do composition, you can strengthen your basic ability.

shortcomings

? The charge is more expensive. The cost of a language week is about 370? 470 Australian dollars, and the IELTS test is 330 Australian dollars, so economically speaking, instead of reading the language of 10 weeks, it is better to spell IELTS again.

? Is it easy? Get together? Generally speaking, most of the language classes are foreign students who have just arrived in Australia, and there are also many foreign students from China. It is understandable that students who have just arrived in Australia like to be with people from China. Although you can make friends, language progress may be slow.

International students are advised to consider the following factors whether to read a language:

First of all, my English level is the first decisive factor. Although I haven't passed the exam, after a period of training, I can meet the requirements of three exams and directly enter the main course, so I don't consider reading a language.

Second, its own adaptability. Language learning time is actually a period to adapt to Australia. If you feel that you need to adapt for a while before the main class, you can learn the language 10 week.

Finally, economic factors should also be considered. Although the tuition fee of about 400 Australian dollars a week is relatively expensive, if the investment in this language continues, the results of the following main courses can be passed smoothly, and even high scores can be obtained, then the effect of chopping wood and sharpening knives will be highlighted. After all, the annual tuition fee is about 30 thousand Australian dollars, and the cost of failing the course is too high.
