Some U.S.universities now conduct phone interviews for prospective Chinese graduate students.All this is to insure that students culled from the highly reputed Chinese talent pool have the linguistic skills to bring their talents to bear those tasks with which the university needs help.
For most Chinese graduate students the language problem soon begins to resolve itself after arrival in the U.S.. Be that as it may,a large number of Chinese graduate students continue to struggle with English years after arrival and even years into their professional lives here,which does have a negative impact on finding jobs,especially in times like these when market downturns dictate massive layoffs across many industrial sectors.
The crux of the problem lies in the Chinese student community.Not surprisingly,most Chinese graduate students begin their U.S.experience in a shared apartment or house exclusively with other Chinese.If they happen to work in a lab where there are other Chinese graduate students then there is often no need to interact with Americans.
The long and short of this is that it is well worth a Chinese student’s trouble to learn English well—spoken English.Not just testtaking,TOEFL—blasting English.U.S.university admissions officers are less and less to be fooled by only a poor to middling command of the spoken language.And for those with little or no opportunity of improving this aspect of their foreign language skill while still in China,if you are lucky enough to get a chance to come to the U.S.for study,make full use of opportunities here.Take an English as a second language class.Most universities have them.City governments and community colleges offer them.Join some university clubs to begin to get to know some American students.Get to know your American classmates and office mates.Do not be shy.Force yourself to join conversations.Find an American roommate.This last can be such a big boost in so many ways if you find the right match.
