🇳🇱荷本申请注意事项：

📍想去荷兰的学生，建议考虑下短期和长期目标，荷兰学校的综排不靠前，但是大U直录还是需要语言成绩达标的，如果是国内体制高考生，也不是非要卷高考，建议提前转入国际课程，认可高考成绩的学校有，但只是部分；

🔓本科直录：这需要提供高中成绩、毕业证书和高考成绩单及高考录取结果（或国际课程），对于已经持有语言成绩或者国际学校毕业的学生是一种优势。3年可以获得荷兰学士文凭；

🔓本科预科：如果学术背景不符合荷兰大学的录取要求，或者不想在国内就读大一，可以考虑选择荷兰大学提供的本科预科课程，这将提供更好的升学机会。预科可以帮助你提高语言水平并为攻读更好的本科院校做好准备，1+3的模式不会浪费时间。但是同样预科升学率无法保证，建议慎重考虑！

🔓本科转录：在国内大学大一结束后转录荷兰本科课程，需要在荷兰重新读大一。大一期间获得语言成绩并申请。

AP 中国文化和中国文化 Chinese Language and Culture

AP Chinese Language and Culture

The AP Chinese Language and Culture course and exam are an important step in a commitment by the College Board to further multiculturalism and multilingualism in secondary school education.

“Through the world language programs, the College Board hopes to make a significant contribution to secondary school curricula,” College Board President
Gaston Caperton said. “World events make it ever more obvious that a broad knowledge and understanding of other languages and cultures is essential for our young people.”

The AP Chinese Language and Culture course is designed to be comparable to fourth semester (or the equivalent) college/university courses in Mandarin Chinese. These college courses, which deepen students’ immersion into the language and culture of the Chinese-speaking world, typically represent the point at which students complete approximately 250 hours of college-level classroom instruction. Course work provides students with opportunities to perform Intermediate- to Advanced-level tasks, and students are expected to achieve proficiencies throughout, and sometimes beyond, the Intermediate range, as described in the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Proficiency Guidelines.

The AP course prepares students to demonstrate their level of Chinese proficiency across the three communicative modes (Interpersonal, Interpretive, and
Presentational) and the five goal areas (Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities) as outlined in the Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century. Its aim is to provide students with ongoing and varied opportunities to further develop their proficiencies across the full range of language skills within a cultural frame of reference reflective of the richness of Chinese language and culture. AP Chinese Language and Culture teachers plan and implement a course that focuses on language proficiency while interweaving level- and ageappropriate cultural content throughout the course and providing for frequent formative assessment of students’ developing proficiencies within the context of their learning. Instructional materials and activities are carefully and strategically adapted from authentic sources to support the linguistic and cultural goals of the course.

The Cambridge IGCSE Foreign Language Chinese is designed for learners who are learning Mandarin Chinese as a foreign language.

The course is based on the linked language skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing, and these are built on as learners progress through their studies. It also aims to offer insights into the culture and civilisation of countries where Mandarin Chinese is spoken, encouraging positive attitudes towards language learning and towards speakers of foreign languages.
