成功案例展示

对外汉语专业申请名校教育学专业

　　学生姓名：李同学

　　咨询顾问：张印鹏老师

　　学术背景：福州大学 对外汉语专业

　　申请院校： Oxford university Edinburgh university

　由于本科是对外汉语专业，所以李同学对自己的留学目标比较谨慎，一直在选择专业上向我询问。在得知他想申请名校之后，在和他的沟通中我一再对李同学的优秀之处进行赞扬，比如她优秀的专业课成绩和奖学金。从她的经历中挖掘她的优势，在与李同学建立了良好的沟通之后，我发现她对于自己的本专业还是很喜欢的。因为这个专业是中国特有的，并横跨了中文，英文和教育三个领域。而且对于她的专业，她也有着丰富的实习经历。她曾经作为志愿者 辅导外国人学习中文。因此我建议她选择TESOL-涉及英语、教育、文化的跨学科专业为申请方向。

　　在确定申请方向后，李同学首要解决的就是语言考试。TESOL专业对于英语要求普遍比其他专业要高，因为李同学所涉及的实习也是汉语教学。所以我建议李同学加强在英语教学的相关实习。他找到一家英语培训机构担老师。

　　这次英语教学经历让李同学充分的喜欢上了英语教学，也坚定了自己的专业选择。而选校方面李同学的要求是TOP50的学校，之后我分析了他的背景 条件和选校要求之后，为他制定了选校计划。因为他选择的专业在前50的学校中并非都有设置，所以在文书写作中，我帮助他挖掘出教学评估及评估工具中的思考 与实践，重点展现了李同学对于语言教育的认识和对教育事业的热爱。

　　之后再等待学校审核材料的时间中，李同学听取了我的建议积极和教授套磁。不仅能帮助转专业的他更好的接触TESOL专业知识，也对她的申请起到了良性作用。并最终拿到所有申请学校的Offer。
