Many Asian students in Australia faces language barrier. Among the many international students in Australia, Asia has been outstanding students to gain wide acceptance. However, Australia to a new survey has shown that more than 1/3 of Asian students ' English is very bad, not qualified to work in Australia, including 43% of Chinese graduates. This statement immediately aroused widespread interest, but experts believe that criticism of Asian students exaggerating for Australia to tighten immigration policies do bedding.
The main criticism of Korea and Thailand student
Education is one of Australia's fourth largest export industry, each year into the various schools of foreign students have 10 million people. Australia demographers biehler recent 1.2 000 students (primarily from Asia) conducted a survey found that in 2006 for Australian permanent residence visa of graduates, 34% of English non-compliance, more than half of Korea and Thailand student after graduation to work in Australia is engaged in the profession. In addition from Nepal, China, Japan, Viet Nam and Indonesia and other Asian countries, English is very poor. Even if you are using the English more general India and Singapore, 17% are not eligible. Biehler Professor finds that this statistic applies to all students, this reflects Australia school admission standards, these students "did not deserve to be admitted to school."
According to the global times reporters understand, in fact, Australia formal university applicants have more stringent English requirements. As the top ranking University of new South Wales requires at least 6.0 IELTS. In addition, different professions require English is not the same as for the medical, legal and other professional, IELTS requirements are higher, the score (listening, speaking, reading and writing) also provides for specific criteria. However, in order to expand education export market, there are also some schools in practice taken "easing", such as providing "pass-through classes" courses to receive IELTS is six minutes of the applicant, the result is reduced admission standards, the impact of the new students ' quality. It was disclosed, Australia schools are largely dependent on international student tuition fees to maintain the running, they do not want to provide language courses, lest thereby increasing tuition fees will take students to "scare".
Difficulties on many concentrated in the spoken language
Journalists in the survey also found that the survey had underestimated the English proficiency of Asian students. Language training in Australia engage in young teacher told reporters that she learned Chinese students most in school English has reached the qualifying standard. By contrast, India, Singapore students in adaptive capacity have stronger certain on. Especially in the written test, the Asian students also significantly better than students from other regions.
Asian students for jobs in frustration of is more common, the Chairman of the Board of Australia University President, said that the Asian students Sutton's language difficulties more concentrated in the spoken language. In school examinations, except in a few subjects are onsite presentations, most examinations to the written test, particularly the Chinese students and centralized accounting and it professionals. Chinese students with diligence and hard work can often obtain superior results. While on the job, oral abilities are the biggest obstacle. Many people accept broker first round after the telephone interview was eliminated. Even kill into employer interview, often because of the linguistic disadvantage is a local one.
Miss Yang told reporters, I thought out of the country to improve English nature of ideas is one-sided. To Chinese students, for example, many people in the Chinatown area partnership rental, to Chinese shops working interact with Chinese friends. In this way, and no domestic language environment, far from improving oral and written.
Students easy Yang is a typical example, she arrived in Australia is hosted in a local home English improve quickly. But since moved out, and Chinese people sharing, in addition to classroom speak almost less than a year in English, it has slipped in English.
To improve the English requirements for immigrants
In this survey released, Australia immigration officials immediately expressed to consider raising the threshold requirements for immigrants, foreign students finish their studies after several years of work experience can apply for. But also for new immigrants English requirements also increased from 5 to 6 minutes.
Experts believe that this investigation is most likely to raise the threshold to provide data in support of immigrants. But o official said: "to raise the standards is not to stop people, but rather to ensure that new immigrants in the employment rate of Australia.
