发展中国家来华留学生化学预科全英文教学方式的探索与思考

Foundation Chemistry Education for Overseas Students from Developing Countries

随着我国综合国力的不断提升和在世界上的影响力不断增加,近年来越来越多的外国留学生尤其是发展中国家的留学生不远万里来到中国求学,成为中国成人教育的重要组成部分。然而,由于不同国家经济发展、教育水平、语言背景的差异,造成了留学生对化学基础知识掌握的水平参差不齐。因此,为了保证留学生大学化学的教学顺利进行,开设化学预科课程已经成为我校留学生教育过程中的必要环节。针对留学生化学预科这一崭新的教学课题,本文从留学生背景和筛选、教学内容选择、教学过程设计以及评价考核标准四个方面,对留学生尤其是发展中国家来华留学生化学预科教学进行系统的介绍并提出了相应的教学策略与应对思路,以便为我国高校留学生化学预科教育提供参考。

Since the economic and educational growth in China, there are increased numbers of overseas student to receive educations in China, especially for those of the students from developing countries. However, the differences in the students＇ backgrounds such as economy, education and language cause the different knowledge background about Chemistry. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a foundation chemistry course. This course will become the imperative stage for our overseas students. In order to discuss this new foundation course for the overseas students from developing countries, four major topics will be given in this discussion, including the background of overseas students, course contents, design of the course and evaluation standards. This discussion is aimed to give a brief introduction to the foundation chemistry systematically, in order to provide ideas of foundation chemistry education for overseas students.
