美国大学“有条件录取”变了味 The American university"Conditional admission"Changed taste

　　本报讯 这两天，美国旧金山大学商学院副院长黛尔·史密斯(Dayle Smith)的一封辞职信，给中国的留学热泼了一盆冷水。

Report from our correspondent this two days,San Francisco university business school vice President dale Smith(Dayle Smith)Resignation letter,To China's study abroad heat pours cold water.

　　据《旧金山纪事报》9月23日报道，商学院主任韦伯在对员工的信中说，史密斯的辞职是鉴于外国学生的“大幅增加”。史密斯在信中写道：“鉴于有如此多的学生英语能力差，且生源国比例不平衡，我们将会面临一些独特的教育及文化挑战。”

According to[San Francisco chronicle]September 23 -,Business school director Chris webber said in a letter to employees,Smith's resignation is in view of foreign students"increase".Smith wrote:"In view of there are so many students' English ability is poor,And germ countries proportion unbalance,We will face some unique education and cultural challenge."

　　报道说，史密斯将离开的原因归咎于学校招收过多的中国学生，而且很多都不会说英语。她认为，大学招收这些学生影响到了对全体学生的教育。

Reports say,Smith will leave school recruit due to too many Chinese students,And many do not speak English.She thinks,The university recruits these students affected of all students' education.

　　报道中提到，该校今年有10017名新生入学，其中781人来自中国，大部分进入商学院，但是许多学生英语能力薄弱，个别学生有时上课甚至要戴耳机收听中文翻译。这些中国学生一年交3.6万美元的全额学费。

The report mentioned,This year the school there are 10017 new students,781 of them have come from China,Most into business school,But many students' English ability is weak,Individual students sometimes class even to wear headphones to listen to the Chinese translation.These Chinese students a year 36000 dollars full tuition.

　　昨天，记者通过邮件联系上“辞职风波”的当事人史密斯教授，她回应了记者的采访。

yesterday,Reporter through the mail contact"resignation"Client professor Smith,She responded to reporter's interview.

　　问：你对中国学生的印象如何？

ask:You on Chinese students impression?

　　答：我一直很珍视中国学生，此前还曾前往香港浸会大学商学院教过一年书，和成千上万的中国学生一起学习和工作过。

a:I have been very cherish Chinese students,Previously had to Hong Kong Baptist university business school taught in a book,And tens of thousands of Chinese students to study together and work.

　　我目前仍在美国旧金山大学商学院工作，之前辞去的是商学院本科副院长的职位，现在转回到了普通教授的岗位，继续担任本科生(包括许多中国留学生)的指导老师。我尊重每一位中国留学生，我所在的旧金山大学，眼下和将来都深切地、长期地欢迎中国的留学生。

I still in San Francisco university business school work,Quit before the vice President of the business school undergraduate course position,Now turn back to the ordinary professor's position,To continue in undergraduate(Including many Chinese students)Guidance teacher.I respect every Chinese students,I in the university of San Francisco,At present and in the future are deeply/Long-term welcome Chinese students.

　　问：你辞职的原因是什么？

ask:What is the reason you resign?

　　答：我认为一些美国的大学，很遗憾也包括我现在任教的旧金山大学，目前录取了过多“有条件录取”的中国留学生。这些学生在英语能力和处理新的社会关系方面的准备并不充分。

a:I think some American universities,We regret including me now at the university of San Francisco,At present admitted too much"Conditional admission"Of Chinese students.These students in English ability and the processing new social relations is not fully prepared.

　　问：你认为中国学生在学习上存在哪些问题？

ask:Do you think Chinese students in learning what problems exist?

　　答：中国留学生在新生中占了35%，这些中国留学生不能遵循美国的教育经验，躲在只说中文的语言学习班，只获得他们在中国就能得到的经验。而这些经验的获得，显然不需要花费高昂的学费，以及其家庭为之所做的牺牲，这个潜在问题必须引起大学重视。

a:Chinese students in new accounts for 35%,These Chinese students can't follow the American education experience,Hiding in only speak Chinese language classes,They only get in China can get experience.And these experiences to obtain,Apparently does not need to spend the high tuition,And his family to do sacrifice,The potential problems which must be pay more attention to university.

　　问：这次事件带给你的影响是什么？

ask:The incident bring you: what is the effect of?

　　答：很高兴我所在的大学已经开始积极解决这一问题。我也很高兴现在能脱离行政岗位，担任普通教师，每天开心地工作，确保小规模的成绩、学术进展，提高我的学生的专业水平，这其中也有很多中国学生。当然，最终证明我的话会是我的行动。

a:Glad I in the university has started to actively solve this problem.I am also very happy can now from administrative position,In the general teachers,Happy every day,Ensure that small achievements/Academic progress,Improve my student's professional level,There is also a lot of Chinese students.Of course,Eventually prove my words will be my action.

“辞职事件”引发深思 "Resign events"Cause deep

留学，到底是为什么 Study abroad,Exactly is why

　　随着大量中国留美学生涌入，美国的大学正受到所谓“独特教育及文化挑战”。旧金山大学教授辞职事件，正是这种情绪的一次爆发。

As a large number of Chinese students crammed into the United States,American university is being called"Unique education and cultural challenge".San Francisco university professor resigned event,It is this emotional outbreak.

　　据国际教育协会最近统计，2011年留学美国的中国学生比2010年增加23%，达157558人，占留美学生总数的21.8%。在这些留学生中，绝大多数是自费生。而美国国土安全局统计，2011年留学美国私立高中的中国学生比2006年增加了100倍。

According to the international education association recently statistics,2011 Chinese students study in the United States than in 2010 increased by 23%,Up to 157558 people,United States account for 21.8% of the total number of students.In these international student,The vast majority of ich bin selbstzahler.And the American homeland security statistics,In 2011 the United States private high school Chinese students than in 2006 increased by 100 times.

　　中国社科院研究员张晓明说，出国留学，在不同的阶段，有不同的动机。现在有很多因素导致学生留学，导致家长把孩子送到国外学习，比如说家庭移民的问题，有许多人出国留学的动机不再是学习，而是为了家庭移民做准备。所以也就出现了报道中的各种问题，学习不认真、混文凭甚至买文凭等，因为对于这些人来说，学习不再是唯一的目的，反而是混身份变成了主要的目标。

By the Chinese academy of social sciences researcher s. said,Study abroad,In different stage,Have different motivations.Now there are many factors cause students to study abroad,Lead to parents send their children abroad to study,For instance the family immigration problem,There are many people who study abroad is no longer the motivation of learning,But for families to prepare immigrants.So also appeared in the report problems,Doesn't study hard/Mix diploma and even buy diploma, etc,Because for these people,The purpose of learning is no longer the only,It is mixed identity becomes the main goal.

　　而被史密斯教授质疑的“有条件录取”这一招生方式，正好给有这样那样动机的人开了绿灯。

And be professor Smith questioned"Conditional admission"This recruit students way,Just to have such as motive opened the green light.

　　那些英语水平不达标的中国学生“误入歧途”，把“有条件录取”当成“录取”，以为学校降低了录取标准，结果花了大价钱远渡重洋去学英语，坐在洋学堂里听天书。有些人因为无法通过语言中心的毕业考试，始终上不了大学。

The English level of the students in China"Go astray",the"Conditional admission"as"admission",Think school reduces the admission criteria,Results spent a fortune to the ocean to learn English,Sitting in the school to listen to a sealed book.Because some people are unable to through the language center's graduation examination,Always go to university.

　　“有条件录取”目前在美国大学比较普遍，而且据说还是排名比较靠前的大学才有。那么，这条“留学捷径”，为何会在中国留学生面前变了味，遭到质疑和诟病？

"Conditional admission"Common colleges in the United States,And it is said that or ranking is the front of the university have.so,This article"To study",Why Chinese students in front changed taste,Were questioned and reviled?

　　21世纪教育研究院副院长熊丙奇接受记者采访时说，“有条件录取”在教育界其实一直有争议，不同的人在不同的立场，有不同看法。

The 21st century education institute, vice President of the XiongBingJi told reporters,"Conditional admission"In the educational circles in fact has been controversial,Different people in different position,There are different views.

　　史密斯教授辞职有她的理由，站在老师的角度，当然希望每一位学生都达到入学标准，这样方便开展正常教学；对学校来说，这未尝不是一种吸引生源的办法，有的学生暂时语言不行，但学习潜力可能很大；中介通过这种方式，可以尽快把学生送出国；家长认为，虽然国内学习语言的花费会相对便宜，但不可能有国外那么好的语言环境。

Professor Smith resignation has her reason,Standing in the point of view of the teacher,Of course I hope every student to standards of admission,So convenient to carry out normal teaching;For schools,It might be a way to attract students,Some students temporarily not language,But learning potential can be very large;Intermediary in this way,Can the students as soon as possible to go abroad;Their parents think that,Although domestic language learning cost will be relatively cheap,But there can be no foreign so good language environment.

　　熊丙奇认为，评价“有条件录取”的好坏，关键取决于这一招生方式对学生本身的效果好坏。一些中国学生将有条件录取单纯理解为录取，以为留学已经成行，在语言中心不好好学习，结果不得不反复读语言班，这是“有条件录取”遭人诟病的主要原因。“有条件录取”是个留学途径，但不应成为降低录取标准的招生办法。要避免史密斯教授所担心的那种情况出现，最好的办法是让学生在走出国门前弄明白一件事，为什么去留学？(记者：沈蒙和)

XiongBingJi think,evaluation"Conditional admission"Is good or bad,The key depends on the recruit students way for the students themselves good or bad effect.Some Chinese students will conditional admission simple understanding for admission,It has been thought to study abroad,In the language center don't study hard,The results have to read language class,This is"Conditional admission"Was the main reason for."Conditional admission"Is a study way,But should not be lower admission standards to recruit students.To avoid professor Smith fear in that situation,The best way is to let the student go abroad in front understand one thing,Why to go abroad?(reporter:ShenMeng and)

什么是“有条件录取” What is"Conditional admission"

　　有条件录取(conditional offer)是指英语水平没有达到入学要求，或申请时大学第4年尚未毕业的同学，由校方给予的有条件录取。“有条件入学”院校的开学时间灵活， 被“有条件录取”的学生并不是真正意义上的留学生，他们必须先前往美国大学的语言中心学语言，只有通过语言中心的毕业考试，才能进入本科学习。

Conditional admission(Conditional offer)Refers to the level of English did not reach the entrance requirements,Or apply for university in 4 when not graduate students,By the school give conditional admission."Conditional admission"Colleges and universities on the flexible time, was"Conditional admission"Students are not really in the sense of students,They must first go to the American college of language center to learn language,Only through the language center's graduation examination,Can enter undergraduate study.

留学专家说 Experts said study

“有条件录取” "Conditional admission"

致中国学生过于集中 The Chinese students are too centralized

　　新通留学美国部总监姚晓磊，也注意到了这起和中国留学生有关的“辞职风波”。在她看来，旧金山大学中国留学生比例不到8%，这在美国大学中并不算是最高的。纽约大学、南加大等美国牛校，其中国留学生比例要高得多。

The new general director of the United States department YaoXiaoLei,Also notice the and the Chinese students"resignation".In her eyes,San Francisco university Chinese students proportion less than 8%,This in American colleges and universities is not the highest.New York university/University of South America, such as cow school,The proportion of Chinese students would be much higher.

　　“不过，有可能多数中国留学生选择了史密斯教授所在的商学院，造成商学院的中国留学生比例奇高。”

"but,Most Chinese students may choose the professor Smith in the business school,Cause business school of Chinese students unusually high proportion."

　　对于史密斯教授所说，中国留学生语言程度差的情况，姚晓磊表示确实可能存在：“主要是该校‘有条件录取’这一招生方式决定的，该校有语言中心，所以允许托福成绩不到80分的学生先到当地学语言，这些学生的语言能力会较弱，但也不是所有中国留学生都如此。”(记者：沈蒙和 通讯员：张雨佳)

For prof. Smith said,Chinese students language degree of difference,YaoXiaoLei said really possible:"The school is mainly‘Conditional admission’This recruit students way of decision,The school has a language center,So allow toefl score less than 80 points first students to learn the local language,These students' language ability will be weak,But not all Chinese students are so."(reporter:ShenMeng and correspondent:ZhangYuJia)

出国上语言班 Go abroad on language class

不努力也要被淘汰 Don't work hard will be eliminated

　　记者联系到了现在正在英国读硕士的同学小陈，她告诉记者，自己当初的雅思成绩并没有达到学校的要求，也是通过“有条件录取”的方式进入到爱丁堡大学的。为此，她不得不提前三个月到英国，读学校规定的为期十周的语言班。

Reporter contact now are British students read a master Chen,She told reporters,His original ielts scores and the school did not meet the requirements,Is through the"Conditional admission"The way to enter to university of Edinburgh.therefore,She had to advance three months to Britain,Read the school rules for ten weeks the language class.

　　不过，她认为“有条件录取”对自己来说其实是有好处的，因为入学前读一段时间的语言班，可以帮助在开学前熟悉当地的环境，提升语言能力。

but,She thinks"Conditional admission"To me it is good,Because before entering school read a period of language class,Can help in before the start of the familiar with the local environment,Ascending language ability.

　　“跟我一起上语言班的同学都很努力，因为语言班结束的时候会有一个final exam，考试不及格的同学也拿不到最终的offer”。小陈说，“有条件录取”对中国学生来说是个很好的契机，但是自己不能放松要求，英语太差来了也跟不上。”(通讯员：张雨佳)

"With I together language classmates were very hard,Because language at the end of the class will have a final exam,Fail in the exam students can't get the final offer".Chen said,"Conditional admission"For Chinese students is a good opportunity,But you can't relax requirements,English is so poor also can't keep up."(correspondent:ZhangYuJia)
