In the study abroad service, language training is a crucial link, and its importance is reflected in the following aspects:

1、 Language proficiency is the basic threshold for studying abroad

Meet the school's application requirements

Foreign schools have clear requirements for the language proficiency of international students. For example, many universities in English speaking countries require students to provide IELTS or TOEFL scores as one of the necessary conditions for admission applications. Taking British universities as an example, undergraduate courses generally require an IELTS score of around 6.0-6.5, while graduate courses may require a higher score between 6.5-7.5. If students' language scores do not meet the standards, they may not even be eligible to apply. Language training can help students improve their language skills in a targeted manner, meet the language score line set by the school, and smoothly embark on the path of studying abroad application.

Adapt to the teaching language environment of the study abroad country

Studying abroad means that students need to learn and live in an all foreign language environment. Whether it's classroom listening, reading literature after class, participating in group discussions, completing assignments and exams, good language skills are required. Through language training, students can familiarize themselves with the language habits, academic vocabulary, and expression methods of the study abroad country in advance, better understand the content explained by the professor, and communicate effectively with classmates and teachers. For example, in European and American university classrooms where lectures and seminars are the main teaching formats, students need to be able to understand complex academic concept explanations and actively participate in discussions. If the language is not proficient, it will be difficult for them to adapt to this teaching mode.

2、 Improving language proficiency has many benefits for application

Increase application competitiveness

In the process of studying abroad, especially when applying to high-quality schools and popular majors in popular countries, the competition is very fierce. Excellent language scores can help students stand out among numerous applicants. For example, for students applying to Ivy League schools in the United States, higher TOEFL or IELTS scores may become one of the key factors for school admission when other conditions (such as academic performance, extracurricular activities, etc.) are similar. Language training can help students tap into their language potential, improve their language exam scores through systematic learning and specialized exercises, and enhance their competitiveness in studying abroad applications.

Expand the range of school and major choices

The requirements for language proficiency vary among different schools and majors. Some top schools or majors with high language requirements (such as humanities and social sciences majors such as literature, media, law, etc.) may set higher language score lines. Through good language training, students can achieve a higher level of language proficiency, thus having the opportunity to apply to schools and majors that were previously deterred by language requirements. For example, a student's initial language score can only apply to schools with lower rankings, but after improving their IELTS score from 6.0 to 7.0 through language training, they can consider applying to schools with higher rankings, higher teaching quality, and majors with strict language requirements.

3、 Helps with adapting to life after studying abroad

Daily life communication

In the study abroad country, students need to use the local language for various daily activities such as renting, shopping, seeking medical treatment, and applying for documents. Good language skills can make these activities smoother. For example, in scenarios such as communicating rental details with landlords, inquiring about product information at supermarkets, and describing medical conditions at hospitals, if one can proficiently use the local language, misunderstandings and inconveniences caused by language barriers can be avoided. Language training not only teaches students daily language, but also involves local cultural customs and language habits, helping students better integrate into local life.

Integrate into the local social circle

Studying abroad is not only about acquiring knowledge, but also about experiencing different cultures and making international friends. Proficient language skills can help students better establish friendships with local classmates and residents, participate in social activities, and broaden their international horizons. For example, when participating in school club activities, community gatherings, or international student exchange activities, being able to fluently express one's thoughts and opinions can make it easier for students to integrate into the local social circle and enrich their study abroad experience.
