How to adapt life in abroad studyFrom my multilingualism narrative paper I shared my experiences in the USA and I also found many Chinese international students studying abroad are hard to adapt to life here, while the other parts can quickly change their pace of life, make many friends, and enjoy a good life on abroad.One main reason is coterie. The students who cannot blend into abroad life http://www.ukassignment.org/mgessaydx/ when they are beginning to study in the United States cannot get along well with the local students. Can't spontaneously associate with the locate students, blending in them. They do not understand, as a matter of fact the United States actually attaches great importance to group activities. “This demand on the students’ part does not mean that they will always accept our guidance. This one of the joys of education as the practice of freedom, for it allows students to assume responsibility for their choice.” (Teaching to Transgress P19) In American colleges and universities, many courses have not teaching materials, even notes and outline is not necessarily to provide in the classroom, teachers priority to give the heuristic teaching, they more emphasis on participation to the students in their class, also pay more attention to the interaction between teachers and students, many courses to finish in the shape of groups. With group work it will be totally different, you are not alone you can share your thoughts with group members and listen to their experiences. These are completely different from other state schools. Therefore, some students can bravely and boldly express his views, even if the view does not entirely correct or expression are not perfect, will get the teacher's encouragement, so it can boost confidence and interest naturally.While the second is lack of learning methods, it can lead a lot of students lost the direction as soon as get out of the hometown, with the result that learnt nothing. There are many another reasons, such as the Language problem. “To study overseas, the language for 80 percent of the people is the most painful.” (Hennessy, 1995) While the language is bad, it is difficult to keep up with the course over there. The understanding on the local religion is also a big reason. “90 percent of the people in America are religious” (Crozier, 1981) Those who cannot blend in abroad life mostly because they didn't understand American religious beliefs. The students who can quickly blend into abroad life will read the bible in high school, from these aspects to understand the culture of the United States. Adapt quickly to theirs’ own study of life. Following shows a real experience about one of my best friends here that changed a lot in one year abroad study life. In the beginning of his university life, he think of the level of language will be improve quickly. But really came to America he afraid of develop social circle. “At my side are almost Chinese friends. As a result language capability is not obvious changed”. He realized that must have more communication with the American people. Prejudice actually mostly from oneself, even if it is the reason of character also should be forced to change, to learn to have interaction with local students is the most important aspects of the study we must accepted. Many American students are easily to accept foreign culture; Chinese students can easily blend into their groups. Of course, if you're in the United States is always complaining about the American indifference, and can not to make contact with Americans; it would have to start your own brains. He is an introversion person so at the initial study he was shy to express his thoughts and questions with local students in group activity. But several weeks later he realized that he must put down the language barrier inferiority. Then he gradually found that America people are so friendly, Americans are relatively high profile and make widely known, this is their social overall a characteristics. Only a few months he makes lots of friends. Above shows that overseas students who can quickly blend into the life of the students they would ahead of time go to school at the start of the year in one or two weekly, to understand the school information, to acclimatize themselves to the school environment in advance. Once in the United States, boldly making local friends, inviting them introduced American life habit. They know that American families are very kind and helpful, they will be happy to assist students familiar with American life. So only a few months he makes lots of friends. In short, when study abroad and integrate into the new environment, before the journey to the United States, extra tutoring the cultural customs and learn the local customs, living habits and etiquette taboo is a good choice. Accommodating the cultural differences brings by cultural diversity as soon as possible. Beginning to abroad you can set up an independent life consciousness, exercise self-care ability, learn how to http://www.ukassignment.org/mgessaydx/ communicate with people and enjoy group activity time. Students just focus on admission letter, and obtain visa to study abroad, but don’t realize it’s just take the first step of your abroad study life may get lost and learn nothing in study life abroad. |
