The decision to send their child abroad for education is the biggest and riskiest decision parents can make.

magman, with a decade of foreign-educational experience in China, has a proven history of student-placements in Tier1 and upper Tier 2 foreign secondary schools.

The magman Foreign School Program addresses the three requirements necessary prior to the student commencement date in their foreign school, they are:

1. magman Foreign School Placement Program - Locating and applying to schools-of-best-fit to the student in consultation with the parents and the student. If the family is planning to visit the schools selected we will assist by arranging appointments with the schools.

2. magman Foreign School Interview Preparation – Preparation for the critical foreign schools interviews with a foreign school representative and the enrollment-assessment tests (Entrance Exams).

3. magman Transition Program - Designed to assist students transition from a very formal Chinese education system to a very different education system to maximize the classroom readiness of the student.

Please note, magman is not an “agent” it does not seek commissions from schools or exorbitant fees from local families for placing students in foreign schools.

把孩子送到国外留学对家长来说是不仅是一个很重要的决定，也是一个具

有风险的决定。

magman 拥有在中国超过十年的外国教育经验，对于帮助学生选择就读外国

一类长青藤学校和二类中的高端学校也有着不少成功的例子。

magman 外国择校服务旨在从以下三方面帮助学生在外国就读前做好准备：

1. magman 外国择校服务 – 我们根据和学生与家长的交谈，来选择

与申请最适合孩子的最优秀的学校。如果学生的家人打算去参观预

选的学校，我们可以帮助安排与学校的约见。

2. magman 外国择校面试准备 – 帮助学生为应对严格的外国学校面

试以及入学考试做好准备。

3. magman 外国学习过渡课程 – 帮助学生从传统的中国教育体系过

渡到有着天渊之别的外国教育体系，以便让学生尽快适应课程的学

习。

magman不是“留学中介”，既没有从学校获取佣金，也没有通过把学生介

绍到外国学校从而获取寄读家庭高昂的介绍费。

Foreign School Placement Program 外国择校服务

For the student to be successful in their new foreign school the selection of the right school must be based on student / school compatibility, not the financial gain of an intermediary.

Introduction:

magman is not an educational-agent; our motivation is to ensure a successful partnership is formed between the student, his/her family and the foreign school. As a non-agent we do not seek nor accept commissions from foreign-schools.

magman has a history of over ten years working in education in China. One of the educational responsibilities magman undertakes is assisting it's students in getting placed into foreign schools for further education. Overseas schools that magman has worked with can be found in all native English speaking countries.

For your information, there are generally three levels (Tiers) of foreign mainstream middle and high schools:

Tier 1: The schools of the highest academic and cultural level.

Tier 2: Good schools below Tier 1.

Tier 3: These are the average schools, the ones that most agents deal with, because, to attract students the schools have to pay commissions.

magman deals only with Tier 1 and selected Tier 2 schools. The upper level of Tier 2 schools rarely utilize agents because, like Tier 1, they do not pay commissions; also, the work involved in gaining acceptance can be daunting to say the least, most agents cannot justify the time expenditure.

‘Where, When, Why and How of Foreign Middle and High Schools’ is a detailed publication magman developed for it’s students and families. The booklet outlines all the necessary information required for making a decision about foreign education. This booklet is given free to all magman families.

magman…

Advice: - In order to provide advice, which is current and correct the student will undertake the magman Assessment Test. Then, in discussion with the family, we compile a detailed biography of the student and match the student to the school/s (not the other way around). Once the selection of potential schools is completed magman advises the family on the best way to apply.

Application: - To simplify the application process magman will provide a checklist of all the document requirements to complete the relevant forms and will processes all

.7.

the necessary paperwork related to the application process, including the translation of Chinese documents into English.

Interviews: - The school-interview (mandatory in Tier 1 and Tier 2 schools) is of critical importance in the enrollment process. magman offers an intensive two-day interview preparation course which will give the student greater confidence to excel at their interview. If the family intends to travel to the destination country to visit the selected schools they are applying for and complete the interview at the school, magman in consultation with the parents, will arrange the appointments at the schools to fit in with their itinerary.

Assessment: - Many Tier 1 and Tier 2 schools apply their own assessment tests in English, Math and Science. magman offers the Interview Preparation Course programs for these “English only” assessment exams. If you wish your child to be offered a place in a good school, exam preparation is critical if they are to successfully compete for a place against students from around the world.

Liaise: - When the student has enrolled in their chosen school, magman maintains communication with the school to monitor the student’s progress in their new school.

Visa’s - magman does not provide or in any way assist in the application for Visa’s for students. This is the sole responsibility of the parents.

magman...

1) Based on an understanding of the student and family requirements selects a number of potential schools from which six are selected for application.

2) Requests confirmation of a vacancy for the relevant grade from the six schools selected (1 above).

3) Upon confirmation of a vacancy, magman completes all necessary paperwork including:

a) Translating of all necessary Chinese documentation into English.

b) Completion of all required forms, applications and supporting materials.

c) Lodging all forms pertaining to b) above to relevant schools.

d) Liaising with all schools so as to ensure prompt responses to lodged documentation

e) Organizing assessment and interview dates and related itineraries.

f) In regard to assessment tests, magman endeavors to host the exam in magman’s head office as opposed to in the target school.

g) Keeping the family informed of all communications with the target schools.

Foreign School Placement Program外国择校服务

我们基于学生的能力与学校的匹配情况来为学生选择最好的外国学校就

读，我们以学生的学业成功为己任，而非为了从中谋取利益。

简介：

magman不是一个学校中介，我们的主要职责是地把学生、家长、以及外

国学校联系起来。作为一个非学校中介，我们是不会向外国学校收取佣金

的。

magman在中国有着超过十年的教育经验。其中包括了帮助学生申请就读外

国学校。与magman合作的外国学校都可以在以英语为母语的国家中找到。

外国主流的中学教育一般分为三类学校：

一类学校：具有最高的教育造诣以及文化氛围的长青藤学校。

二类学校：仅次于一类学校优质学校。

三类学校：这是普通的学校，也是大部分学校中介所推荐的学校。因为这

些学校可以通过支付佣金的方式来招收学生。

magman只与一类学校和二类学校打交道。二类学校中较好的学校一般不会

通过中介进行招生，因为他们与一类学校一样，不会支付中介的佣金。而

且，这些学校对入学者的申请审批时间会很长，因此大部分中介对此无法

估算。

选择哪里的学校，在什么时候申请，为什么要选择外国学校，以及怎样挑

选学校 ….. 针对这些疑问，magman专门撰写了一本择校指南，为学生与

家长在选择外国中学和高中进行指引，详细地列出在择校中的重要信息。

这本小册子是免费赠予magman家长的。

magman…

建议：为了正确与准确地为学生提供入学建议，magman需要对学生进行

测试。随后，我们与家长见面会谈，整理出学生的简历，并根据他们的能

力与学校进行匹配。（其它学校中介则是反过来，拿着学校的资料找学生

的）。当找到适合学生的学校时，magman将会协助学生与家长以最有效的

方式申请学位。

申请：为了简化申请程序，magman会提供清单，列出申请学校所需的相关

.9.

资料以便填写各种表格，并协助准备各种申请材料，包括把中文资料翻译

成英文。

面试：学校面试是申请入学最重要的环节（一类学校和二类学校都要求面

试）。magman提供为期两天的面试培训课程，让学生能自信自如地参加面

试。如果学生的家庭有意对所选择的学校进行实地考察，并在该校进行面

试，magman将与学生家长协商适合他们旅行计划的行程，安排与学校的约

见。

评估：很多一类和二类学校自己编写入学试题，包括英文、数学和自然

科学三方面的考试。magman提供面试预备课程，辅导学生应对‘全英文考

试’。如果你希望自己的孩子能够在众多

的外国学生所参与的考试中脱颖而出并获取入读优秀学校的机会，那么为

考试作好充分准备是至关重要的。

联系：当学生获得学校录取的时候，magman会继续与学校和学生保持联

系，并跟进学生在新学校的学习进程。

签证： magman 不能提供学生签证服务，这是家长独自承担的责任。

magman…

我们根据对学生和家长需求的理解来选择出一批学校，再从中精选出六所

学校来提交入学申请。

我们向第(1)步骤中精选出来的六所学校发函咨询是否有学位。

我们收到学校的确认后，将准备以下材料：

把所有所需的中文材料翻译成英文

完整填写所有的表格、申请表以及相关材料

把所有(b)中提到的材料整理好，提交给相关的学校

与学校保持联系，以便尽快确知所提交材料的审阅进程

安排评估与面试日期以及相关日程

关于评估测试，magman尽可能安排在自己总部而不是在申请学校进行

把与学校的联系的情况及时通知家长

.10.

Interview Preparation Program面试准备课程

The magman Interview Preparation Program is a five hour a day, five days a week monthly immersion program designed to develop the skills necessary to maximise the opportunity conferred by the school interview, in addition to develop skills in English reading, writing, speaking, mathematics vocabulary familization with Verbal Reasoning Testing; all skills required to perform well in both the interview and the Assessment and Entrance Exams for foreign Tier 1 and Tier 2 schools.

magman的面试准备课程为每天五小时，每周五天的全月封闭课程。该课程通过培训学生面试所必备的能力来让他们在学校的面试中得到最好的发挥；同时提高学生在英语阅读、写作、口语、熟悉数学词汇与口头分析考试方面的能力，让他们在一类与二类学校的面试和入学考试中取得优秀的成绩。

A weekly timetable (see the sample timetable at the end of this section) is provided and will be adjusted as required to suit the student’s needs plus weekly reports to parents, of their child’s progress.

我们会制定每周的课程表（请看这节末所附的范本），并给家长写每周的学习汇报，让家长了解孩子的学习进度。

The school interview, either face to face or via Skype, is the ultimate determiner of acceptance into the target school. A student who has a great academic, social and athletic history in China may lose out because of a poor interview; conversely, a student that has a less than an ideal history may, in the interview, exemplify a trait that appeals to the interviewer.

学校的面试，有面对面的，也有通过skype的，这是学生是否可以考取目标学校的关键。有的学生即使在国内的德智体方面都非常不错，但也会因为面试原因而落败。相反，如果学生的在校表现并不是非常优秀，但他在面试中的出色表现也会给他带来机会。

Warning! A school that waives the necessity of an interview is a school that is more concerned about making money from the student than about the student’s academic and social welfare.

当心！如果学校没有设置入学所必需的面试，那么很可能这间学校更注重从学生那里获得经济利益，而不是注重学生的学业和能力优势。

How important is the school-interview?

Very important! It is important to recognize that each school has its own evaluation system leading to an interview and then to acceptance. Although admission committees strive to be as equitable and objective as possible, interview presentation is critical. Applicants will be confronted with different types of interviews and these interviews will be weighted differently in the overall evaluation by each school.

.11.

学校的面试到底有多重要？

非常重要！我们需要了解不同学校基于各自不同的评估体系而制定的面试和录取标准各有不同。招生委员会努力去做到公平和客观地评估学生，但面试的表现仍至关重要。申请人将要面对不同的面试，而这些面试的成绩在不同学校中所占的分量都各不相同。

Although Chinese students generally perform well in mathematics, it is not the mechanics of maths or science which can hinder a students progress through the assessment process, but a lack of knowledge in mathematics and science English vocabulary. At magman we strive to improve and increase the students knowledge and understanding, which in turn promotes excellence in the assesssment performance.

虽然中国学生在多数情况下数学都不错，但在入学考试中往往不是数学或者理科能力，而是缺乏这方面的专业英语词汇而让学生在考试中吃亏。magman将尽力帮助学生去提高他们在这方面的理解能力，使他们在评估中表现出众。

In addition to English, Mathematics and Science, foreign school’s Assessment Tests and Entrance Exams often include a test in Verbal Reasoning, our course will familise the student with Verbal Reasoning and prepare the student for any future tests.

除了英语、数学和自然科学，外国学校的入学考试通常还有一门科目：口头分析。通过我们的培训课程，学生将对口头分析有一定的了解，并为日后的考试做好准备。

Verbal reasoning is understanding and reasoning using concepts framed in words. It aims at evaluating the ability to think constructively, rather than at simple fluency or vocabulary recognition.

口头分析是运用词语构造框架来表达看法和逻辑推理。这个科目的考试旨在评估学生思考的条理性，而不仅仅是考察学生语言表达的流利程度与词汇理解能力。

It is our belief that if a student is correctly prepared and encouraged to excel, they will achieve.

我们相信，如果学生能够做好充分准备并得到鼓励，他们就能有优秀的表现并取得成功。

.12.

What is the purpose of a school- interview?学校面试的用意何在？

In general, the purpose of the interview is to assess the applicant’s personal characteristics. The most common characteristics foreign schools are looking for are:

一般来说，学校的面试是为了评估申请人的性格。外国学校对学生个性的

基本考察包括：

• Motivation and commitment to education 学习的主动性和专注性

• Interpersonal skills 人际关系

Transition ProgramPurpose and Aims

The principal purpose of the magman Transition Program is to maximize the success potential of your child once they arrive in their selected foreign school and that school’s culture. The magman Transition Program recognizes the huge academic and cultural challenges that young Chinese (Asian) students confront in their foreign education adventure; the magman Transition Program empowers the Chinese boys and girls with the skills necessary to succeed.

ACADEMIC: The more rapidly that a student can be class room acclimatized in all subjects, the more quickly they will reap the benefits of their foreign education and achieve a standard of high academic and personal excellence. The most common scenario for a young Chinese heading overseas is that prior to enrollment they undergo a local ESL program and/or take part in an English summer camp; alternatively, the school they are enrolling in may provide an ESL program for them. Prolonged ESL studies in isolation of the core subjects to be studied in their mainstream education like math’s, history, science etc., is demotivating, confidence sapping, and from a student’s perspective, a waste of time. The ESL or English summer camp is unable to arm the student with the vocabulary, logical thinking, and academic skills that are vital to their success in their destination country and school.

The magman Transition Program positively reacts to the greatest challenge that ALL Chinese students face… vocabulary; specifically, it’s application. In order to put the necessary vocabulary into the context of it’s relevant subject, magman, in cooperation with the destination school, not only enhances and prepares the student with the necessary vocabulary; but just as importantly, magman provides a good grounding in those core subjects about to be studied, facilitating a smooth transition into the class-room.

In addition to “academic preparedness”, magman prepares and coaches your child in the critical skills that are vital ingredients for success in the foreign school of choice; techniques which are alien to Chinese schooling. The western education concepts of independence, self-management and autonomy in study are key attributes for your child to master in order to excel, not just in middle and high school, but in university as well.

.19.

CULTURE: One of the prime reasons why many Chinese/Asian students fail is attributed to a cultural ignorance of the destination country. The alien nature of the country of foreign study, results in many, if not all Chinese students seeking out their Chinese peers and creating an artificial cultural Chinese raft in an unknown foreign sea as a comfort zone for themselves. The quasi-Chinese environment that most Chinese students create, seek out and hide in is one in which English is all but ignored and one in which a China-town mentality emerges and flourishes. In insulating themselves in their Chinese-world in the destination country and school, any good that an expensive foreign education may achieve is diluted to the point of ineffectiveness. Basic to any academic success is having the confidence to live and perform in the chosen society; having the confidence to ask for help and realizing that in western society, seeking help is considered an attribute, not a negative.

Your child must be imbued with the confidence and inner-fortitude to resist negative and counter-productive approaches from those less fortunate Asian (Chinese) students that lack the benefit of the magman Transition Program. magman will give your child the knowledge, confidence and skills they will require to gain the respect of his/her foreign peers, teachers and citizens alike, in the face of the pressure applied by your child’s Chinese/Asian classmates, by insisting on utilizing English in and out of the classroom; as well, respecting and learning from that countries native culture.

Purpose and Aims海外晋级课程

目的与宗旨

magman海外晋级课程旨在让您的孩子将来在他们所选定的外国学校学

习时更好地发挥自己的潜力并取得成功，同时更好地适应当地的学校文

化。magman的海外晋级课程的创办人深深地意识到：很多的中国（亚洲）

年轻学生在国外学习的时候，将会遇到学习上的困境，magman海外晋级课

程正是针对这方面的问题，让男女学生在留学前作好充分的准备，并在将

来的学习中获得最大的成功。

学术：学生在留学期间如果可以更快地适应所有的教学科目，那么他们就

能更迅速地在海外学习中得益，并取得更卓越的个人成就。中国的年轻学

生在留学前，一般是先参加当地的ESL课程以及/或者参加英语夏令营；而

他们所选取的学校一般也会提供ESL课程。然而，当学生长时间脱离了其核

心科目的学习如数学，历史，科学等学科教育而单纯地强化ESL培训时，他

们会感到情绪低落与缺乏自信心，从他们的角度来看更是浪费时间。对于

每个学生来说，无论他们是在本国学习还是在海外留学，获得更大的词汇

量，提高逻辑思维能力和学术技能都是至关重要的，而 ESL 课程或者英语

夏令营则无法满足他们这方面的需求。

词汇，尤其是词汇的应用，是所有中国学生在留学时所要面对的最大挑

战。

magman的海外晋级课程从词汇方面入手，积极帮助他们提高这方面的能

力。为了让学生获得海外留学所需要的基本词汇，并能了解它们在各个学

科中的真正含义，magman与海外学校紧密合作，从海外教育的核心科目入

手，让学生在增进其词汇量的同时，更好地适应与平稳过渡到日后的外国

留学环境。

.21.

除了有效的“学术准备”之外，magman还注重于培养您孩子的核心技能。

这是他们将来在海外留学时要取得学习成就所必不可少的能力，而中国传

统教育中缺乏了对孩子这方面的能力培训。培养学生的独立性、自我管理

能力、以及学习上的自主权是该课程的另一核心理念，即使在中国，这方

面的能力培养也将指引您的孩子在初中、高中、甚至是大学学习上取得不

可估量的成就。

文化：许多中国/亚洲学生在海外学习失败的首要原因之一是他们对于其

留学国家的文化一无所知。学生在出国求学过程中，出于对异国环境的不

适应，他们往往会和自己的同胞聚在一起，在国外环境中营造自己的安乐

窝。当这些中国学生把自己封闭在这种准中国的生活环境里，他们不使用

英语交流，形成了思想上的“中国城”。这样不仅有悖于他们出国留学的

初衷，更是白白浪费了昂贵的海外教育费用。要在学术上取得成功，最根

本的一点是要对其所选择的社区和环境充满自信，拥有向他人开口提问和

求助的勇气和自信。在西方的生活环境中，请求别人帮助并不是负面的行

为，它更是个人能力的体现。

在海外求学的历程中，您的孩子必须充满自信，内心强大。

magman的海外晋级课程正是要培养起您的孩子在这方面的能力，让他

们能自信地抵御来自其他缺乏这方面培训的亚洲（中国）学生的消极影

响。magman将给予您的孩子知识、信心和技能，让他们不受其他亚洲（

中国）学生的负面压力的干扰，形成在课堂内外都使用英语的习惯。这将

有助于他们在外国留学期间赢得外国同学、老师、当地居民以及他人的尊

重，并能更好地尊重与了解当地文化。

.22.

Transition Humanities.

The study of Humanities and the methods employed in teaching practice in the West are entirely different to that employed in China. Asian students and in particular, Chinese students are not generally well prepared to embrace the requirements that foreign schools demand.

Transition to Humanities as conducted by magman, is predicated on the premise that the teaching of English as applied to such disciplines is imperative to allowing the foreign student to successfully transition into foreign school curricula.

Without a considered and comprehensive preparation program to cope with the demands that the English language places upon students, let alone the methods and the skills required to evaluate, to understand, to research and to logically present, Chinese students invariably fail to perform to the demands of the subject requirements.

The disciplines will be presented in a manner that rigorously reinforces the language applicable to that discipline.

.23.

海外留学晋级课程之人文学科。

西方在人文学科上的教学与实践中所采用的方法与中国在这方面的教育是

截然相反的。因此，亚裔学生尤其是中国学生，一般不具备外国学校在人

文学科方面的能力要求。

magman推出的海外留学晋级课程之人文学科课程，以加强学生在英语语言

与学科理解的能力为前提，并在此基础上让学生顺利晋级到海外的课程学

习中，适应外国的教学方式，取得学业上的成功。

如果缺乏一个深思熟虑的全面准备计划，学生在应对这方面的英文用语就

已经相当吃力了，更不用说他们还要适应新的教学方法，并具备评判、理

解、研究、和进行逻辑推理表达的能力。因而中国学生难以在这方面达到

学科的要求。

这门课程不会深入展开人文学科方面的科目学习，而是通过严格训练，让

学生获得这些科目的相关语言技能。

.24.

Transition Science and Mathematics.

It is an accepted and documented fact that Chinese students are well prepared to embrace the Math’s and Science disciplines that foreign schools demand.In fact, it is an area they excel.

The primary cause of disappointing results in Science and Math’s is normally not a problem with the mechanics of the subjects but with the English vocabulary. The magman Transition Program understands the vocabulary challenge and addresses it by implementing an intensive vocabulary regime.

Transition to Math’s and Science as conducted by magman, is entirely predicated on the premise that that teaching of English terminology as applied to both Science and Math’s is imperative to allowing the foreign student a satisfactory path to successfully transition into foreign school curricula.

An introduction to:Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Algebra, and General Math’s; with required English terminology will be undertaken, specifically under guidelines established after consultation with participating foreign schools.

.25.

海外留学晋级课程之理科与数学。

中国学生在理科和数学方面的能力对于外国学校的要求来说一直都是得到

认可并有事实为证的。

实际上，这正是中国学生最强势的一个领域。

然而，学校在理科和数学方面的成绩有时仍尚未令人满意。造成这个问题

的原因并不是他们的理科方面的能力，而是他们的英语词汇量。magman海

外留学晋级课程深深了解到学生在这方面所遇到的困境，并对此实施严格

词汇学习方案。

magman推出的海外留学晋级课程之理科与数学课程，以加强学生在理科和

数学方面的英语术语能力为前提，并在此基础上让学生顺利晋级到海外的

课程学习中，适应外国的教学方式，取得学业上的成功。

这门课程将会对以下科目进行总体介绍：

物理，生物，化学，代数和基本数学，以及与这些科目相关的英语术语教

育。这门课程是在相关外国学校的咨询与指导下建立设置的。

.26.

Culture & Communication Course.

This course is designed to prepare the foreign student for the “culture-shock” of living and studying in the foreign country of their choice. The cultural challenges that confront students are divided into two areas:

Educational and Living.

Research: Instruction for the student on both Internet and library research. This course requires a student to undertake research projects and document reference sources, as is done in foreign schools.

Note Taking: Critical for foreign school success, students are instructed on effective note taking techniques from text and oral (teacher) sources. As well as taking the notes, we instruct the student how to prioritize and place notes into a meaningful format, including indexing.

Autonomy: Students are continually being challenged to develop and exercise their autonomy via the assigning of exercises in all subjects. All Transition courses will be taught in a student centered environment with the emphasis being placed on students taking responsibility for their own academic development.

Questioning: To question is to learn. Once a student realizes asking questions is a face-gaining activity, the fears of showing ignorance by asking questions will dissolve. Questioning will be encouraged as a learning vehicle.

Peer Behavior: Students will be placed into carefully designed role-play scenarios that illustrate the correct methods of dealing with positive and negative situations they may confront in their schools. Chinese students will be encouraged to determine correct and acceptable behaviour and to respond accordingly.

Cross-Cultural Communication: As an important element in the Program our Chinese students will be well versed in a large variety of foreign cultural situations and correct responses to these.

Whole Year Performance: magman will introduce a “whole year performance” measuring criteria.

Life skills: This ingredient in the Transition Program is “hands on” for the student. Students will be instructed on survival; how to wash and iron clothes, how to make a delicious sandwich, how to catch a bus, etc. Students will be coached in good citizenship and closely monitored to ensure that they put into practice what they are taught.

.27.

海外留学晋级课程之文化与人际交往课程

本课程旨在帮助学生在外国学习和生活中克服所面临的“文化冲突”而设置的。

在外国求学期间，学生所面临文化挑战包括两方面：

教育与生活。

资料搜集：教导学生如何通过互联网和图书馆的资料进行信息搜集。这门课程要

求学生在外国学校学习的模拟环境中，着手进行资料搜集项目，并整理相关的文

献参考资料。

课堂笔记：这是学生在外国学习取得成功的关键。我们将教导学生如何从老师的

文本和口头讲述中做好笔记。除了做好课堂笔记之外，我们还教会学生如何通过

整理笔记和索引，来提高其学习效率。

自主学习：学生通过应对来自不同科目的功课挑战，来提高和培养他们自主安排

学习的能力。所有的海外留学晋级课程将会以学生为中心，让他们来安排自己的

学习计划，并承担取得学习进步的责任。

提问能力：懂得提问才能有效地学习。学生只有意识到提问其实是一个很有面子

的事情，他们才不会惧怕向别人提问时会被认为是无知的错误观念。在该课程

中，提问将被视为学习的载体，而老师也将不断地鼓励学生进行提问。

同伴行为：我们将对学生进行角色分配，通过情景交流来演示他们在外国留学生

活中将面对的各种正面和负面的状况，并向他们展示正确的处理方法。我们将鼓

励中国学生去做出正确的令人接受的处事方式，以及对此作出回应。

跨文化交流：作为这个课程中的一个重要元素，我们的中国学生将在复杂的外国

文化背景中得到锻炼，并作出正确的应对。

全年表现评估：magman将会引入“全年表现评估”体系。

生存技巧：这个课程旨在“手把手”教会学生他们所需要掌握的海外生存技巧，

例如：如何洗衣服和熨烫衣服，如何做出美味的三明治，如何赶上公车等等。我

们要把学生教育成良好公民，并对他们进行监督和指引，以确保他们把学到的技

巧付诸于实践。
