上师大附第二外国语学校美高部游学—学在威斯顿剑桥，访哈佛大学

近日，我校美高部学生在我校老师的带领下，开启了在The Cambridge School of Weston——威斯顿剑桥中学的游学之旅。
Recently, accompanied by some of our teachers, the students of the American High School Department at our school travelled to the USA for a study tour of The Cambridge School of Weston, a high school in Massachusetts.

虽然游学只有一周，但是行程安排紧凑，让学生收获满满。在这几天当中，学生学习地地道道的美国高中课程——历史、化学、生物等等。学生打破语言障碍，勇敢的融入当地社区生活。
Although the study tour lasted only one week, the schedule was filled with plenty of learning opportunities for the students. During their days at the school, students learned authentic American high school courses such as History, Chemistry and Biology. The students attempted to break language barriers and bravely integrate into the local community life.

12名学生被安排在12个不同的班级，与所在班级学生上课交流，参加Club和集会。游学不是享受，而是一种感受，是人生的体验，在国外亲身体验风土人情、接受异域文化氛围熏陶；走近国际化课程，参与国际化活动。
Twelve students were assigned to 12 different classes to communicate with the students in those classes and attend Clubs and rallies. Travelling to learn is not purely about enjoyment, but a life experience, in which one can experience the local customs of another country and absorb a foreign cultural atmosphere. They can also learn about international courses and participate in international activities.

带队老师说：“沉浸式学习不仅增加学生生活的磨练；提高学生的独立自主能力；培养学生全球化角度的思维习惯；更为学生日后出国留学做好准备。所以，虽然学生们熬夜写作业很辛苦，但是学生却从体验中明白自己的需求和渴望，反而越发奋进学习。”
One of the teachers said: "Immersion learning not only increases the training of students, improves their ability to be independent, cultivates students' thinking habits from the perspective of globalization, but also prepares students to study abroad in the future. Therefore, although the students had to stay up late to do their homework, they understand the benefits and goals of the experience, and this causes them to work much harder.”

返程的前一天，学生集体参观毗邻威斯顿剑桥中学的哈佛大学。在这里，学生了解到哈佛大学的发展历程：哈佛大学建立于1638年10月28日，是美国第一所大学。当时，马萨诸塞海湾殖民地议会通过决议，决定筹建一所像英国剑桥大学那样的高等学府，并取名为“剑桥学院”。几百年过去，哈佛大学从模仿到超越（参照多年Times世界大学排名），这样的精神激励了我校美高部学生考取名校的决心。
The day before returning home, the students visited Harvard University, which is adjacent to The Cambridge School of Weston. Here, students learned about the establishment and development of Harvard University: Harvard University was founded on October 28, 1638 as the first university in the United States. At that time, the Gulf Colonial Assembly of Massachusetts passed a resolution to prepare for the establishment of an institution of higher learning like Cambridge University in England, and named it "Cambridge College". Over the past several hundred years, Harvard University has gone from emulating to transcending, (referencing the Times World University Ranking for many years). Such a spirit has inspired the determination of the students in our American High School Department to be admitted to this prestigious university.

著名教育学家陶行知倡导：生活即教育，社会即学校，教学做合一。
威斯顿剑桥游学经历是“知行合一”实践的典范。希望在学校倡导类似的游学活动中，越来越多的学生明确人生方向，进入自己心中理想的大学。
Tao Xingzhi, a renowned education scholar, advocates that life is education, society is our school, and that teaching should integrate these principles. The study tour to Weston Cambridge School is a model of the “unity of knowledge and practice". It is hoped that by undertaking more of these educational study tours that it will enable more and more students to have a clearer understanding of the direction their lives should take, and be able to enter the university of their choice.
