　　在两个月的暑期里，和气温一样高烧的是家长给孩子制定的各种各样的暑期计划。而时下最时髦的暑假活动，不得不首推暑期国外游学。

In the two months in the summer，And as the temperature of high fever is parents give children made all kinds of summer plans。And nowadays most fashionable summer vacation activities，Have to travel abroad, however, is a summer。

　　记者在采访中了解到，本地及外地的培训及留学机构组织学生出国游学考察，一般为期10～20天，费用3万～5万元。家长不惜重金为孩子报“名校游”，想的是让孩子增长见识、感受一些国外名校的魅力，为的是对将来送孩子去留学做铺垫；然而，开销了这笔高昂的费用后，孩子们所能收获的能否达到父母心中的期待呢？“游学”到底是“游”还是“学”？

　　7月8日清晨，一群穿着统一文化衫的孩子从兰州中川机场登上飞往北京的航班，他们是某英语培训机构组织的“梦想之旅——美加游学营”。孩子手里的行程单显示，未来3周时间里，孩子们将游览美国、加拿大两国六大著名学府，在语言学校练习口语，并有机会和接待家庭共同生活、住宿。

　　对于很多有让孩子出国留学打算的家长来说，“游学”正好可以提供一个出国预热的机会。“我们计划让孩子高中毕业后去美国留学(微博)，这次报名美国常春藤名校游学团，就是为了让孩子提前体验一下大学生活，减少留学的盲目性。”家长郭先生的话代表了众多给孩子报游学团的家长的想法。

For many have let the child go abroad to study abroad the parents to it，“travel”Just can provide a chance to go abroad preheated。“We plan to make children after graduation from high school to study in the United States(Micro bo)，This application an ivy American study Tours，Is to let the child the experience ahead of university life，Reduce the blindness of study abroad。”Parents Mr Guo words represent the many to children whose parents of study Tours of the idea。

　　“国内现代出国游学是2002年后才快速发展起来的，省内参加出国游学的人数也一年比一年多。”澳际教育集团兰州分公司经理、留学顾问侯娟介绍，甘肃省国际游学机构和参加国际游学的学生绝大部分集中在兰州，而兰州没有直飞国外的航班，因此无论是参加兰州本地游学团还是在兰州报名异地游学团，都需要经由北上广等地飞往目的地。在人数上，兰州市报名出国游学的学生虽然逐年增多，可总体上比北上广等发达地区，还是相差很多。

“Domestic modern to travel abroad is 2002 years to developed rapidly，The number of people to travel abroad to participate in the province also than the one more than a year。”Macao border education group the lanzhou branch manager、Study abroad HouJuan adviser introduced，International travel agencies in gansu province and international students study most of the focus in lanzhou，And lanzhou have no direct flight to foreign flights，So whether to participate in local study Tours in lanzhou or sign up beyond the lanzhou study Tours，All need to go through north to fly wide destination。In number，Lanzhou city registration study Tours though students increased year by year，But on the whole wide than north developed regions，Or is quite different from。

　　游学营的报名者中，约有60%是为今后留学提前热身。“通过游学，这些学生会对未来的留学生活有更真实的感受，了解自己是否适应海外生活，还需提升哪方面的能力等，因此海外游学也被形象地喻为‘微留学’。”一家留学机构负责办理签证的郑女士还向记者透露，学生良好的出境记录也会为他们今后出国、留学“加分”，这也是很多家长让孩子提早参加游学营的原因。

The camp in the study group，About 60% is for the future study of anticipation。“Through the study，These students to study in the future life is more real feeling，Understand yourself if you adapt to life abroad，Still need to improve what ability，So overseas travel was also the image of the yu‘Micro study abroad’。”A study visa agencies responsible for the ester also has revealed，The student good exit for them in their academic record to go abroad、Study abroad“Add cent”，This is also a lot of parents let children study in the cause of the camp early。

　　据了解，目前参加海外游学团的人群大致可分为三类：第一类以“增长见识”为主要目的，希望通过游学了解国外的文化、生活，小学生和初中生占多数；第二类以“留学预考察”为主，多数是已有出国留学打算的高中生，希望提前体验相关国家和学校的留学生活，事先了解报考院校的氛围等；第三类以“减压放松”为主，多为刚刚参加完高考(微博)(微博)的学生，一方面为了放松身心，另一方面则是希望利用这次机会接触到海外的大学，为日后申请研究生或交换生做铺垫。

According to understand，At present to participate in overseas study Tours can be divided into three kinds of people：The first class with“informative”As the main purpose，Hope to study abroad through the cultural understanding、life，Elementary and junior high school students are in the majority；The second type to“Study abroad the investigation”primarily，Most have to go abroad to study abroad is going to high school students，Hope to experience the relevant countries and schools in advance of the life abroad，Understand enter oneself for an examination the atmosphere of colleges and universities；The third kind to“Decompression relax”primarily，For more than just attended the university entrance exam(Micro bo)(Micro bo)students，On the one hand to loosen body and mind，On the other hand, is hoping to use this opportunity to access to overseas university，For future applications exchange students graduate student or groundwork。

　

　“贵”族化 “your”Family of

　　价格从3.5万到8万元不等 Prices from 35000 to 80000 yuan

　　记者了解到，目前“游学”产品通常分为国内游和国外游两种。业内人士透露，相较于利润较低的国内游，目前各大旅行社、培训机构、留学中介等更倾向于推出以美国、英国、澳大利亚等英语国家为主的国际游产品。今年暑假，一张到美国的单程机票已经涨到1.2万至1.3万元人民币，还是一票难求。另据首都机场统计，去年8月，首都机场出境的人数高达79万多人次，其中学生所占出境总人数比例超过一成。而国内的游学团，也就是“夏令营”，至今年为止，基本被暑期亲子游所取代。

The reporter understands，At present“travel”Products usually divided into domestic travel and foreign swim two kinds。Industry insiders said，YuLiRun compared with low domestic travel，At present the travel agency、Training institutions、Study abroad intermediary tend to launch to the United States、British、Australia and other English country primarily international tour products。This summer，A one way ticket to the us has gone up to 12000 to 13000 yuan RMB，Or a ticket, it is difficult to find。Another according to the capital airport statistics，Last August，The number of the capital airport exit as high as more than 790000 people，One student accounts for more than ten percent of the total number exit。And the domestic study Tours，Also is“Summer camp”，To so far this year，Basic be summer parent-child swim replaced。

　　不少网站发布的信息显示，游学产品价格不菲。短短十几天的行程，报价基本在3万元以上。以美国为例，洛杉矶两周寄宿学校营，哈佛大学东西海岸探索营，“天才之旅”TOP名校营等等，价格从3.5万到8万元不等。

A lot of that information on its web site，Travel products the price does not poor。Short 10 days of travel，Offer basic is in 30000 yuan of above。In the United States, for example，Los Angeles two weeks a boarding school camp，Harvard University things coast exploration of the camp，“Genius trip”TOP school camp, and so on，Prices from 35000 to 80000 yuan。

　

　动辄数万元的游学费用，究竟贵在哪里？ Tens of thousands of yuan cost of travel easily，Where exactly is the？

　　“国际游学的利润空间很大，以美国为例，如果能够拿到便宜的机票，组织机构从每个营员身上至少会赚到5000元。”一位长期在国际游学组织工作的人士告诉记者。

“International study a big space to profits，In the United States, for example，If can get cheaper ticket，Organizations from every campers will earn at least $5000。”A long-term study in the international organizations working people told reporters。

　　在某培训机构的网站上，在线客服人员告知，如果现在想参加美国的修学游，已经没有名额了，因为很多同学在4、5月的时候就已经报了名，建议走十月份的其他线路。记者在该机构的网站上发现，该机构每条游学路线费用中都包含有签证费、培训费、活动费、往返国际机票费、司导小费、保险费及在境外的吃、住、行等费用。“去美国往返机票约1万~1.5万元，提前预订更便宜很多，甚至可低至六七千元，由于是承诺住在美国人家中，吃、住都会相比真正旅行团便宜，加上每天的路费，平摊到每个人身上每天800元左右，20天的行程在美国逗留的时间最多也就是16天，加上机票每人花费最多2.5万元左右。”前述业内人士说。

In a training organization's web site，Online customer service staff to let us know，If now want to participate in the study tour，Have no quota，Because many students in four、May have signed up，The other lines suggested coming in October。Reporters on the agency web site found，The agency each route of travel expenses contains a application fee、Groom cost、activities、Round international airfare、Company guide tips、Insurance and in the outside to eat、live、Travel expenses。“A round trip ticket to go to the United States about 10000-15000 yuan，More advanced reservation is a lot cheaper，Even to 67000 yuan low，Because of the commitment in their lives in the United States，eat、Live will be really cheap compared to the tour group，Plus everyday the tolls，Lay open to each person, 800 yuan every day，20 day of travel in the U.S. linger time at most is also 16 days，Add up to 25000 yuan per ticket cost to the left。”The industry insiders said。

　　游学时要看所选择的项目 Travel to see when the choice of project

　　对于很多有让孩子出国留学打算的家长来说，“游学”正好可以提供一个出国预热的机会，所以不少人决定尝试一下，但效果其实并不理想。

For many have let the child go abroad to study abroad the parents to it，“travel”Just can provide a chance to go abroad preheated，So many people decided to try，But the effect is not the ideal。

　　去年暑假，白银的李女士抱着提高英语口语水平的目的，给上初二的女儿报名参加了“英伦风情游学夏令营”。然而女儿回国后，说英语的积极性没见提高，却如数家珍地翻出大包小包纪念品，向梁女士讲英国的乡村风景如何优美，城堡之旅多么神奇。

Last summer vacation，Ms. Li embrace of silver to improve oral English level of purpose，Give the second daughter signed up“Study English charm summer camp”。However daughter after returning home，Said the enthusiasm of English haven't seen increased，But, as he sees them through the suit cases souvenirs，Ms liang to speak English countryside scenery beautiful how，Castle trip so magical。

　　原来，梁女士拿到的合同中并未写明游览景点和参观高校的日程比例。据孩子反映，16天中，旅行社只安排了4天上午游览牛津、剑桥等名校，其余时间都是观光景点，每到一地导游都会安排购物活动。走马观花式的参观让女儿疲于奔波，根本没有机会和校园里的学生们深度交流，全听导游用中文讲解，英语口语更是无从提高。

The original，Ms liang to get the contract does not indicate scenic spots and visit the university schedule proportion。According to the child reflect，16 days，Only four days travel agency for the morning visit Oxford、Cambridge elite，The rest of the time is tourist attractions，Every one can arrange the tour guide shopping activities。Typically the visit of the type lets the daughter struggling anyway，No chance and campus students communicate depth，The tour guide to explain in Chinese，Spoken English is not improving。

　　市民丁先生前段时间就给即将上高三的儿子报了一个欧洲游学团，“当时想着他可以借这个机会好好感受一下各所名校的氛围，等到留学申请的时候也可以有个参考，挑选适合他的学校。”然而丁先生很快发现，他的想法只是一厢情愿，结束了这次“微留学”之后，儿子回到家只是一个劲表示“玩得很high”，但对于学校却没什么印象。

Mr. Ding some time ago to give citizens to the son of high for a European study Tours，“When thinking about him can take this opportunity to experience the each school atmosphere，Wait until the study application when also can have a reference，Choose suitable for his school。”However Mr. Ding soon found，His idea is just wishful thinking，Over the“Micro study abroad”after，Son came home just a strength said“Had a high”，But for the school but no impression。

　　记者在多家留学机构、旅行社、培训机构的网站看到，修学游线路琳琅满目，但仔细观察后发现，几乎所有的线路旅游占了一半以上的时间，并没有真正达到“修学”的目的。以一条双语学校的游学线路为例，在长达18天的游学行程中，美国线路未见任何学校为参观对象，也未见任何培训课程。但是行程安排中却不乏名牌折购店购物中心、迪士尼、环球影城、拉斯维加斯等地的娱乐购物项目。英国与加拿大的行程中虽然分别有剑桥大学和英属哥伦比亚大学参观时间，但总体而言依然是游览观光占据了游学中最绝对的时间。

Reporter in several study institutions、Travel agency、Training organization's web site to see，Study tour line wide variety，But after careful observation found，Almost all of the line tourism accounts for more than half of the time，And not really achieve“study”purpose。With a bilingual school study as an example of the line，In a study of 18 days of travel，The United States did not see any line for visiting school object，Also did not see any training course。But the schedule of famous brand discount store there but for shopping center、Disney、Universal studios、Las Vegas and entertainment shopping project。Britain and Canada trip though there were respectively Cambridge university and British Columbia University visit time，But in general is still dominated the sightseeing in the study of absolute time。

　　“带着学习之名，游走异国风情。”一位留学机构工作人员坦言，“游学时要看你所选择的项目，有的游玩和学习各占一半，有的就是纯游玩。其实这是个人的选择。有些家长把游学当做是对孩子的一种奖励方式，主要考虑安全问题，并不会太关心游学的实质内容，只要孩子玩得开心就好。”

“With the name of the study，Wander the exotic amorous feelings。”A study in agency workers said，“When study to see your choice of project，Some play and study all accounts for half，Some is the pure play。In fact this is a personal choice。Some parents of children is the study as a reward way，The main consideration security problems，Don't be too concerned about the essential contents of the study，As long as the children had just happy。”

　　但兰化一中教师赵媛认为，游学是青少年成长的其中一个途径。无论是国内还是国外，游学都受到了学生和家长的欢迎。我们现在在大街上不难看到外国来中国游学的学子，同样中国人有条件的也可以走出去。但是她有一种忧虑：“我觉得现在大批中国孩子出国，有个最大的问题，是成人化、贵族化。路线是走马观花的成人路线，住豪华酒店，吃法国大餐，逛商场特卖场，买奢侈品，这是一种误区。”

But LanHua one teacher ZhaoYuan think，The study of youth development is one way。Both at home and abroad，Travel by students and parents are welcome。We are now in the street is not hard to see foreign to study Chinese students，The same Chinese conditional can also go out。But she has a kind of anxiety：“I think now a large number of Chinese children go abroad，A the biggest problem，Administer is、nobility。The route is typically adult route，Live luxury hotel，Eat French restaurant，Go shopping on sale field，Buy luxury，This is a kind of error。”

　　赵媛非常推崇有些学校所进行的朴实无华的交流活动，学生们有机会住民宿，这样才能真正接触到异国生活和文化。

ZhaoYuan thinks highly of some schools of simple and unadorned exchange activities，The students have the opportunity to live a home stay facility，In order to truly access to foreign life and culture。

　　“冷”思考 “cold”thinking

　　游学最好还是由学校来做 Travel by the school to do better

　　“不可否认，孩子到国外游学可以开拓视野、增长见识。特别是对准备将来出国学习的孩子而言，是对未来留学生活的一次探路。但存在的问题是，一哄而上的海外游学往往偏离了初衷。”美籍华人、爱美信国际教育机构(AIE)总裁白铁军博士直指目前游学市场的乱象：“从心态上看，跟风现象普遍，‘攀比’情结严重；从效果上看，往往名不副实，甚至只‘游’不‘学’。”

“undeniable，The child to study abroad can widen our sight、informative。Especially to prepare for a child to study abroad in the future，The future of abroad life a scout。But the problems are，YiHongErShang overseas travel often deviated from the original intention。”Chinese American、Love the international education institutions letter(AIE)President BaiTieJun pointed to study abroad in the market at present, dr mess：“Look from the mentality，Follow suit phenomenon common，‘comparisons’Complex serious；Look from the effects of，Often given the，Even just‘swim’Don't‘learn’。”

　　“游学的目的是‘学’，过早游学脱离了孩子的年龄和性格特点，难以达到游学的真正目的。因此，我们在搞清楚何为游学、何时游学、游学何为的基础上，不妨再冷静地思考：我们的孩子是否需要海外游学？”白铁军认为，孩子的知识积累和判断能力没达到一定程度时，并不适合参加游学活动，“游学的价格动辄三四万元，家长的期望与实际回报会产生较大的落差”。

“The purpose of the study is‘learn’，From the early travel the child's age and personality traits，It is difficult to achieve the real purpose of study。so，We make clear what is in the study、When travel、Based on the study of what is，Might as well to ponder calmly：Our children need to study whether overseas？”BaiTieJun think，The child's knowledge accumulation and judgment not to a certain extent，Does not fit for travel activities，“The price of travel easily three or four ten thousand yuan，The expectations of the parents and the actual return will produce larger gap”。

　　侯娟则建议，学生和家长在选择游学线路前，一要看课程安排，是不是真正做到了游学兼顾，还是只有观光游览没有学，或者“学”的内容不够到位；二看安全保障，组织机构是否具备相关资质，是否购买保险等；三看孩子兴趣，孩子的兴趣和所要去的目的地、游学营的主题是否吻合，首先保证孩子有积极的学习心态，主动学习的孩子收获更多。

HouJuan it is suggested that，Students and parents in the choice before study lines，Want to see curriculum，Is truly both study，Or is it just a sightseeing tour didn't study，or“learn”Content is not enough in position；2 see security，Whether the organization has the related qualification，Whether to buy insurance；Three see children interest，The interests of the child and the destination、The theme of the camp if it fits the study，First make sure your child has a positive learning attitude，Active learning the children get more。

　　“看只是一方面，但更重要的是在看的过程中，能激发孩子的一个兴趣，一个更上进的心，挖掘一下孩子的潜能，这个名校摆在我面前，我想到的是什么，或者给自己一个规划，这是我们中国孩子比较欠缺的地方。”侯娟认为，游学的重要意义是对孩子观念与意识的提升。“游学对于孩子与成人的触动是不同的，不同年龄段的孩子回来后会有不同的收获与改变。这些点滴的触动，对于十几岁孩子人生观与价值观的形成，甚至他们的一生，都可以产生潜移默化的影响”。

“See only on one hand，But more important is the process of looking at，Can stimulate a child's an interest，A more aggressive heart，Mining the child's potential，The school before me，I think of??? What??，Or to give yourself a planning，This is our Chinese children is the flaw place。”HouJuan think，The significance of the study is to children concept and consciousness of ascension。“For children and adults study of touches is different，Different age paragraph the children come back will have different harvest and change。These every touches，For more than ten years old children outlook on life and values of the form，And even their lives，Can produce a subtle influence”。

　　赵媛表示，游学的确可以让人开眼界、长见识。但不必过分夸大海外游学的教育功能。一些中介过分夸大国外教育成效，只会给学生带来误解，事实上，一些自制力不强的学生到国外后，面临的问题可能更多。而且，国内中介鱼龙混杂、资质不一，没有相应部门对其进行监管。她认为，游学最好还是由学校来做，因为很多学校都与国外学校结对，更了解对方学校的教育特点，成效可能更大。

ZhaoYuan said，Travel can indeed be a real eye-opener、Long experience。But don't be exaggerated overseas study education function。Some intermediary overstating the education effect abroad，Will only give students bring misunderstanding，In fact，Some of students is not strong self-control after abroad，Are faced with the problem may be much more。and，Domestic intermediary good and evil people mixed up、Qualification is differ，No corresponding to the department of supervision。She thought，Travel by the school to do better，Because a lot of schools are paired off with foreign school，Learn more about each other school education characteristics，Results may be even greater。
