Our Purpose
The International Foundations Program was created to help academically-qualified students gain English Language Proficiency for undergraduate and graduate program admission. The International Foundations Program provides students planning on doing degree programs at the U of C with an on-campus program to help them achieve their academic goals. Students in the International Foundations Program gain fluency in their use of the English language while learning in an academic environment which prepares them for their university studies. The program is full-time and intensive, for undergraduate and graduate students.
預(yù)備課程的目的
國(guó)際預(yù)備課程旨在幫助符合學(xué)術(shù)資格的學(xué)生獲取本科入學(xué)和碩士入學(xué)所要求的英語(yǔ)能力。國(guó)際預(yù)備課程為計(jì)劃在卡爾加里大學(xué)攻讀學(xué)位項(xiàng)目的學(xué)生提供校園課程，幫助他們實(shí)現(xiàn)學(xué)術(shù)目標(biāo)。學(xué)習(xí)國(guó)際預(yù)備課程的學(xué)生可以熟練地使用英語(yǔ)，并有機(jī)會(huì)在學(xué)術(shù)化的環(huán)境中學(xué)習(xí)，為他們的大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)做準(zhǔn)備。該計(jì)劃是集中的全日制學(xué)習(xí)，針對(duì)本科和研究生。
Many students who need English Language Proficiency (ELP) choose to come to the International Foundations Program to satisfy this admission requirement. Gaining proficiency in the English language is often the first place a student needs to begin. The International Foundations Program assists both prospective undergraduate and graduate students to gain English language proficiency.
許多需要英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言熟練證書(shū)的學(xué)生都選擇加入國(guó)際預(yù)備課程，以此來(lái)滿足入學(xué)要求。熟練地使用英語(yǔ)通常是學(xué)生第一步需要做的。國(guó)際預(yù)備課程同時(shí)幫助未來(lái)本科生和未來(lái)研究生熟練掌握英語(yǔ)。
What is the International Foundations Program?
The International Foundations Program is a uniquely focused English language program that prepares English as a Second Language (ESL) students for university studies. It is designed especially for intermediate to advanced ESL students who want to learn English in a challenging and effective environment that trains them for academic success at the undergraduate or graduate level.
什么是國(guó)際預(yù)備課程?
國(guó)際預(yù)備課程是一個(gè)獨(dú)特的英語(yǔ)集中學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃，為英語(yǔ)為第二語(yǔ)言的學(xué)生準(zhǔn)備大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)。計(jì)劃特別針對(duì)想在富有挑戰(zhàn)而高效的環(huán)境中學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的水平在中級(jí)到高級(jí)的學(xué)生，這個(gè)計(jì)劃有助于學(xué)生在本科和研究生階段獲得學(xué)術(shù)上的成功。
The program is comprised of three tiers with students taking rigorous language assessment to place them into the appropriate tier. Each tier consists of thirteen weeks (approximately 260 hours) of instruction, including exams. Students who place in tier one normally take one year to complete the program.
國(guó)際預(yù)備課程分為三個(gè)級(jí)別，學(xué)生先參加嚴(yán)格的語(yǔ)言測(cè)評(píng)，然后被分到適合的級(jí)別。每個(gè)級(jí)別有十三周的教學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)(大約260個(gè)學(xué)時(shí))，包括考試。分在第一個(gè)級(jí)別的學(xué)生一般需要一年學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間。
Students who join the International Foundations Program are highly motivated to develop the language skills necessary to succeed at university. By the end of the program, successful students are able to:
Write effective summaries, responses and essays at a university level
Use their increased speaking skills to participate actively in all aspects of university life
Employ improved speed and accuracy for both reading and listening comprehension in academic contexts
Implement critical thinking skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking
Make use of effective learning strategies both inside and outside of the university classroom
加入國(guó)際預(yù)備課程的學(xué)生具有高度自覺(jué)性，積極培養(yǎng)大學(xué)學(xué)業(yè)所需要的語(yǔ)言技能。計(jì)劃結(jié)束的時(shí)候，學(xué)生可以有能力：
1.有效寫(xiě)作大學(xué)階段的總結(jié)、回復(fù)和文章
2.借助獲得的口語(yǔ)技能，積極參與各方面的大學(xué)生活
3.調(diào)動(dòng)閱讀與聽(tīng)力能力，服務(wù)于學(xué)術(shù)文本學(xué)習(xí)
4.將批判性思維運(yùn)用到閱讀、寫(xiě)作、聽(tīng)力和口語(yǔ)中
5.充分利用大學(xué)課堂內(nèi)外的學(xué)習(xí)策略
Instructors in the program have advanced experience and training in teaching ESL. They use an active, learner-centred communicative approach that focuses on helping the students themselves arrive at an understanding of the English language proficiency requirements necessary for academic studies. This inquiry based methodology fosters research skills and initiative in the students in order to help them succeed at a research-intensive university like the University of Calgary.
課程老師在對(duì)英語(yǔ)為第二語(yǔ)言的學(xué)生的教學(xué)方面有豐富的培訓(xùn)經(jīng)驗(yàn)。他們的教學(xué)以學(xué)生為中心，集中幫助學(xué)生培養(yǎng)起對(duì)學(xué)術(shù)學(xué)習(xí)所要求的英語(yǔ)能力的理解。這種以調(diào)研為基礎(chǔ)的方法有利于培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的研究技能和創(chuàng)新精神，幫助他們?cè)诳柤永锎髮W(xué)這樣的研究型大學(xué)中獲得成功。
Students who successfully complete the International Foundations Program with a grade of C or higher fulfill the English Language Proficiency requirement for most undergraduate programs at the University of Calgary. Additionally, successful completion of the International Foundations Program is accepted in lieu of Alberta English Language Arts 30-1.
順利完成國(guó)際預(yù)備課程、成績(jī)?cè)贑及以上的學(xué)生，滿足卡爾加里大學(xué)大部分本科課程的英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言要求。另外，順利完成國(guó)際預(yù)備課程課程還會(huì)被認(rèn)可為拿到相當(dāng)于阿爾伯塔省英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言藝術(shù)30-1的證書(shū)。
Why choose the International Foundations Program?
Why is the International Foundations Program your best choice to satisfy the English Language Proficiency (ELP) requirement for admission to the U of C?
The International Foundations Program is a better tool than standardized English tests like CAEL or IELTS for achieving English language proficiency
為什么要選擇國(guó)際預(yù)備課程?
為什么國(guó)際預(yù)備課程可以最好地滿足卡爾加里大學(xué)英語(yǔ)入學(xué)要求?
相對(duì)于諸如加拿大學(xué)術(shù)英語(yǔ)水平考試和雅思考試這樣的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試，國(guó)際預(yù)備課程可以更多地掌握英語(yǔ)熟練能力。
1.A CAEL or IELTS score does not teach you how to do research; how to give a successful oral presentation; how to write effective papers for your professors; or how to do other important academic tasks. The time you spend comprehensively acquiring these skills before you begin your degree studies means less time acquiring these skills when you face a deadline.
2.A CAEL or IELTS score is simply a test result. You either pass or fail with no benefit to the development of your proficiency. University instructors will not slow down to accommodate students struggling with their English even if they have achieved an acceptable CAEL or IELTS score. Prepare yourself now for your best success later. You are further ahead to invest your time and energy now to prepare for your future academic success.
1.學(xué)術(shù)英語(yǔ)水平考試或雅思考試不會(huì)叫你如何做研究、如何掌握熟練的口語(yǔ)、如何有效寫(xiě)作給教授看的文章，以及如何完成其他重要的學(xué)術(shù)任務(wù)。在開(kāi)始學(xué)位學(xué)習(xí)之前就全身心投入到這些技能的學(xué)習(xí)，意味著以后面臨截止日期的時(shí)候可以更快地掌握這些技能。
2.學(xué)術(shù)英語(yǔ)水平考試或雅思考試成績(jī)僅僅是一個(gè)考試結(jié)果。要么通過(guò)要么通不過(guò)，對(duì)英語(yǔ)熟練能力的培養(yǎng)沒(méi)有什么幫助。即便是通過(guò)了學(xué)術(shù)英語(yǔ)水平考試或雅思考試，拿到了被學(xué)校認(rèn)可的成績(jī)，也可能面臨語(yǔ)言困難的問(wèn)題，而這時(shí)，大學(xué)老師不會(huì)放慢節(jié)奏讓你適應(yīng)。因此現(xiàn)在就開(kāi)始準(zhǔn)備吧，以便往后有更好的成績(jī)?，F(xiàn)在就投入時(shí)間和經(jīng)歷，準(zhǔn)備你未來(lái)的學(xué)術(shù)成功。
