Under The Progress Of Internationalization Of Basic Education The Mixed Picture Of Foreign Students' Study In Local Classes

With globalization, the world's population migration and the process of internationalization of education, the impact on class teaching and management brought by teachers and students from different culture context can not be ignored,"International Class" is everywhere in New York, Paris and other metropolis, the school's goal of educating is not only learning to survive, but also learning to coexist. New Immigrants make migration education of Shanghai become urgent, and the strategic of building Shanghai as an international metropolis has directly spawned the internationalization of basic education. In2010, the population of foreign resident in Shanghai has reached162,481people, those Shanghai builders who urgently need support to solve their children's education problem. Despite international schools, International Department and other specialized schools for children of foreigners in Shanghai, there are still many parents giving high praise of domestic basic education and competing to send their foreign children to a local class. In the international context of basic education, foreign students who choose to study in local classes, their cross-cultural adaptation in campus, communication and integration as a new area of research into my threshold was at the end of2008, due to an accidental fortune. As attending a the New Year's party in one high school, I got to know the student called Hui-Min Li who served as a guide for guest members. But not until six months later when I went to this the school again, I heard from the director of school adminster that this was a Korean girl, I was so surprised that I didn't find out early and treated her as an ordinary high school girl. Thus, my curiosity drove me to enter the school, participate and observe of those "special groups", listen to teachers, Chinese students, educational administrators and other related groups and try to understand what they told, collect the positive response and negative response. As an instant research lasting for more than three years, from the tedious detailed and interview records, finally I try to depict a picture of foreign students'studying in Shanghai local classes under the background of internationalization of basic education. There are seven chapters in this thesis:Chapter â… :Research Background and Significance.

Foreign students and their parents'high expects have caused gap which can't be met, the parents of different nationalities have different educational needs; local Chinese students and their parents struggle on the ambivalence of educational resources and their own development; school administrators have thought about what are favorable for the development of the school. Teachers gain their experience and constantly sum up.Chapter â…¦:Retrospect and Prospect. Rational thinking of the relationship between internationalization of basic education and the scene of foreign students studying in local classes which should be an important part of the internationalization included in the measurement. Steadily promote the internationalization of basic education in Shanghai requires the program of intercultural training for international teacher, and construct assistant system like teaching foreign students Chinese as second language and so on.
