Due to the outbreak, Australian universities not only experienced a serious economic blow, but also not long ago, the Australian media exposed a major event on campus!
135 letters of complaint received 1. the University of Sydney a yea
According to the Australian newspaper, Australian university lecturers were bullied by foreign students, resulting in some lecturers having to compromise. Therefore, the professors who taught in the eight major schools said :" Australian universities rely too much on foreign students, only for money! "and" Chinese students are even worse at English, not even the basic sentences with correct grammar! "
The University of Sydney reportedly received 135 complaints a year. In fact, friends who have read in Australia must know that Australian universities take a wide approach to education. Some teachers and professors have harsh teaching standards, complicated examination paper difficulty, so many students have a headache, even in the campus also spread a reputation.
It is reported that because of the high teaching requirements of some teachers, they are being complained by the students. The main reason for their complaints is that the teachers' scores are unreasonable and unfair. And the object of the complaint is also concentrated in a few teachers.
It is reported that this phenomenon of collective complaints is becoming more and more frequent, people can not help but doubt that it is really a problem for teachers?
In fact, not necessarily, the professor just told the fact that foreign students learn by rote. They will refer to last year's examination papers, know a few knowledge points and problem-solving ideas, memorize the answer. Finally, I look forward to this year's examination paper and last year's similar.
Once the test questions are different, the group of foreign students will organize more than 100 students to sign complaints.
It is said that a large number of student complaints, will let the teacher encounter no small trouble. Some of the teachers who suffered were forced to lower their scoring standards and the composition of the curriculum. They had to learn to compromise ." If the scoring requirements are relaxed, students may give high ratings. "
It is reported that the university management attaches great importance to these complaints, and the teacher must explain to the supervisor exactly what the situation is.
And the cause of this situation, summed up the position of professors:
English 1. foreign students is terrible
2. college just wants to make money
2. English for Chinese students is too poor to teach
Why is the English of foreign students so bad?
It turns out that most Australian universities require IELTS scores of 6 to 7.5. But most students, in fact, did not meet the standard admission requirements. Even if you don't get an English test, you do n' t relationship, to read a language course for 10-20 weeks.
"I don't know very well how to learn English in China, but most of the Chinese students I meet do n' t even have the most basic English ," said the eight professors. "
"Not even a simple sentence with correct grammar, and these are graduate students! "
Because they don't understand English, Chinese students also take translators in class. (Schematic: Pixabay)
In addition, even more outrageous, there are more Chinese students in class ," buy one free one ", directly with the translation of the class, let the teachers silly...... It is said that when the teacher persuaded him to finish the exam independently, he refused.
In addition, most local students are reluctant to join Chinese students. They have to translate and explain with Chinese students. Chinese students are not very willing to communicate with local students, just want to warm up with Chinese students, which exacerbates the lack of daily English communication, even when they come to Australia, English is not used.
3. Australian universities just want to make money and are being over-depended on Chinese students
Education is a pillar industry in Australia with a total assets of 34 billion. Australian universities attract hundreds of thousands of overseas students. According to a report on the StraitsTimes website, about 38 percent of the nearly 365000 students enrolled in higher education this year came from China, bringing the total to 13718!
A review of seven top universities found that all schools relied on 12-23 percent of the income of Chinese students! If Chinese students are leave, many schools will have a significant decline in their income sources. Therefore, Chinese students are widely regarded as "cash cow" of universities, and they have received special treatment from many schools during the recent epidemic.
In short, foreign students for diplomas, teachers for performance, schools for money, so the Australian University today. In any case, it is best for foreign students to study hard, especially to learn English well, and not to waste expensive tuition. Teachers and schools should guide students to improve their academic ability.
