如何准备名校口语面试,准备攻略请查收
三月到,春日渐暖,好读书。今天这篇文章主要为同学们说明面试中英语部分考察内容,以及准备方法。
对于管理类专硕的考生们来说,英语口语与听力测试,也会出现在面试中。越来越多的院校会在提前面试*核英语面试能力,一部分院校(例如北京理工*)则在提前面试中专注考生综合背景考察,将英语放在来年面试中一起考察。
(北京理工*提前面试内容,英语面试*察)
01面试中英文考察方式
1-全英文面试
主要集中在全英文授课的项目中,深度考察英语。
2-英文自我介绍
有的院校只需要同学们用英语做一个自我介绍,这种相对比较简单,也可以提前准备。
3-英文问答/现场抽题用英文作答。
这种考察方式看似毫无范围,但是我们通过整理往期学员的面试问题来看,较为高频的考察话题为:报考动机、教育背景、工作经验、个人品质等方面,和中文面试问题类似,但是用英文作答有一定难度。
4-英文总结
多在小组面试中,*后1分钟英文总结。
在面试*察的英语,对于广大MBA考生提出一个更高的要求,即口语中需充分体现工商管理的自身特点,不仅要口语流利,而且要结合基本的管理知识回答问题。
对于咱们的考生来说,英语有截然不同的两种极端情况,对于一些英语基础较好,毕业后在外企和英文工作环境中工作的考生来说,这样的口语面试难度很低。
但大多数考生属于第二种情况,那就是早就把英语知识交还给了老师,就连英语二笔试的过线问题都要头疼,更别说"张口难"的英语了。所以,为了大家能够顺利地通过英语面试,英语听说能力,需要慎重对待,提前突击。
02如何准备名校英语口语面试
对于名校MBA来说,英语是一道难关,因为英语口语的水平是需要日积月累地下功夫,这样训练出的英语口语比较纯正,但是临近面试的紧张时刻,我们也可以有针对地进行练习,也可以取得很好的提升效果,借此以解燃眉之急。
英文口语注重逻辑性、连贯性和清晰性,即使出现差错也要坚持下去,不要害怕说Sorry、Pardon。不要过分强调语言本身的技巧,而应言之有物,展示自身特点。
此外,有一些问题几乎每次面试都会碰到,比如自我介绍、工作实习经验、优缺点等等。
那么我们应该如何准备英文面试呢?建议就是以下:
1)英语每天积累,坚持发音,多朗诵,多交流,不要糊弄。
非常时期用非常对策,在职的考生大都忙着日常工作和复习笔试,长时间不接触英语的发音和交流,一开始会觉得张嘴说英语句子都非常困难,更别提流畅表达了。建议大家尽可能的提前一些时间准备,增强语感,单个的是单词,单词连起来就成了句子。像一位"英语*"说的那样:讲英语就是要喊出来。当然我们不必非要大声喊,但是朗诵英语单词或短文,是一个非常好的培养语感的方法。
2)熟悉一些固定回答模板或面试题目,提前练习
可以尝试结合简单的管理学基本知识,将每一个曾经问到的问题努力用自己的观点解释清楚。今天在文章后面附了一些有一些常用的问题类型,并给大家总结了回答模板,这些句子看起来很简单,但是也需要大家多多练习,才可以做到流畅熟练。
3)熟练的英文自我介绍
其实英语的自我介绍跟中文的自我介绍差不多,基本把中文的自我介绍翻译过来即可,但是有以下几点大家一定要注意:
①英文不像我们中文,如果没有十分把握的话,不可刻意的追求语句华丽,以免张口就忘,简单自然就好。
②语速快慢不重要,重要的是说而且是连贯的说,但不可表现出你是在背诵稿子。
③英文自我介绍除非有相关的时间规定,一般来说控制在2-3分钟左右*佳。
对于大多数院校来说,英语面试是一项考核内容,但并不是一项决定性因素,当然一些国际项目除外,例如天津*全日制MBA、*财经*的全日制MBA和同济*的国际MBA项目等。
但是大家若是想借此申请名校的MBA,英语口语是一定得要认真准备的。
