❖ Tapescript
John : Now Christ, can I get this right. You've just completed a MSc course on which a large proportion of the students were international students. Is that right?
David: That's it. Yes, I was in AERD, that's the department of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development.
John: And how do you think the students from other countries got along on that course?
David: Pretty well.
John : What advice would you give students, particularly international students, based on your experience as a student here?
David : I think the most basic thing is to make use, full use, of the tutors and lecturers. Maybe some of the overseas students are a bit too shy to take questions or problems to tutors.
John : What do you think they should do?
David : I think they should find out at the beginning of the course the time at which the tutor is going to be available for tutorial appointments and then make full use of them.
John: So, any problems, they should tell the tutor as soon as possible? Let's move on, what about the amount of reading that you have to do as a university student?
David : Yes. It looks pretty dauntine al first, with those long reading lists. Don't think that the students have to read everything that’s listed. Try to find out which are the most important items on the list - ask the lecturer or tutor if necessary, and then, if your time is limited, spending it reading those books thoroughly.
John: OK, that’s very helpful, David. Thank you very much.
David : No, Not at all.
❖ After You Listen
Work in pairs. Ask and answer the question. (Làm việc từng đôi. Hỏi và trả lời câu hỏi)
“Would you prefer to do an undergraduate course abroad or in your country?" Explain your choice. (Em thích học chương trình cử nhân ở ngoại quốc hay ở trong nước hơn?" Giải thích sự chọn lựa của em.)
A. Where do you like lo do your undergraduate course, abroad or in your country?
B. If you ask me, I prefer to do it abroad.
A. Why?
B. In the present situation, most of the universities in the country are behind those in developed countries, such as the US, Australia, Singapore. Germany, etc,...
A. Can you give me clearer explanations?
B. OK. For example, the teaching aids in the schools: laboratories, equipment and specially libraries. Most of our laboratories are lack of modern equipment. Next, the size of classes, the number of students in each class is very large. I mean the classes are often very crowded. usually over 60 or more. Don’t you realize the noticeable problem in our universities?
B. What’s that? Do you refer to the methods of teaching of most of professors and lecturers?
A. That’s it. Most of them still use the old and obsolete way of teaching: “Professors read and students listen and write down.” Rarely can a student ask his / her professor a question. And this makes it worse, hardly ever can a class discussion be seen in most of our universities.
B. What's wrong with it?
A. Oh! How can such a one-way method help students to develop their creativity and even their independent work?
B. Sorry. I didn’t know any about it!
