To study abroad, you must have good foreign language skills

To study abroad, you must have good foreign language skills. Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to successfully complete your studies, and you will not be able to achieve ideal academic results. However, the foreign language mentioned here is not just English. Studying abroad is not limited to pure English-speaking countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

Therefore, some students ask, is it okay to study abroad in a country with a small language if your English is not good? The answer is, of course. At present, the destination countries for Chinese students to study abroad can be said to be in every corner of the world. Generally speaking, in addition to the above-mentioned English-speaking countries, there are many countries with relatively good education quality, relatively safe societies, and relatively developed economies. Small-language countries in Europe that mainly use their own language for teaching include Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, Ukraine and Nordic countries; Asian countries including Japan and South Korea are also target countries for a large number of Chinese students to study abroad. Of course, studying abroad in the above-mentioned countries, if students have good English skills, is very helpful for integrating into the local society, and it is also helpful for students to obtain more information and knowledge. Some countries even assess students' English skills when they graduate. Moreover, even if you study abroad in these small-language countries, if your English is good, you will be more competitive when you return to your country for employment. Therefore, you still cannot give up English.

So, another student asked, can I apply to study abroad without IELTS or TOEFL scores? The answer is, in most cases, you can apply to study abroad without IELTS or TOEFL scores. Most universities in the UK, Australia and even some institutions in Europe and the United States can first review the student's other conditions if the student does not have qualified language scores. If the student is qualified, a conditional offer or degree can be issued. The course is accompanied by a so-called "dual enrollment" in a language course. Students can choose to submit qualified IELTS or TOEFL scores before applying for a visa or enrolling, or they can choose to go to the university's language center or a designated language training institution to take a language course for a period of time before entering a degree course.

What is the conditional offer?

Is dual admission good? Conditional admission is just a type of pre-admission. It does not mean that students can definitely enter the degree course. This is when the university believes that the student meets other admission conditions besides language ability. A kind of "admission" issued by students. Before entering a degree course, they still need to pass an assessment, whether it is taking IELTS or TOEFL, or taking an on-campus test. Dual enrollment is actually a kind of admission where the school assigns language courses on the basis of conditional admission. It is essentially the same. The advantage is that after booking a place in a degree program at a university, if you complete the language course and pass the assessment, you can enter the degree program as scheduled. The disadvantage is that it will definitely cost more time and money. In reality, there are also students who have obtained "dual admission", but failed to pass the language course as scheduled, were delayed in entering degree courses, and were even forced to return home.
