On November 11, 2015, the pre-proposal session took place in the meeting room B1-314 and B1-204 of our School’s building among the Master students of Communication (Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages-TCSOL).

17 overseas Master students and 2 Chinese students did their presentations. The 19 applicants made their presentations on the subject choice and significance, literature review and methodology. The supervisors of the board commented their presentation afterwards. Despite a rehearsal, the pre-proposal was conducted in accordance with review procedure and standards of the formal defense session. The members of review committee reviewed students’ proposal and gave valuable comments for the students. They also indicated that students should enhance communication with their supervisors and actively listen to their suggestions.

Since offering program of communication to international students in 2011, our school would organize the pre-proposal session for students of the program. The purpose of the warming up activity was to help the applicants find out whether there was any problem to resolve in their proposal, to develop their ability to make spontaneous response to queries about the writings and to ensure that the applicants could complete proposal and approved dissertation writing with high quality.

Professor Su Hongyuan, Professor Zhu Jianfei, Associate Professor She Shihong and Dr. Jiao Wei from School of Journalism and Communication, and Professor Liu Cheng, Associate Professor Cui Shuhui, Associate Professor He Jijun, Associate Professor Shan Yunming, Associate Professor Huang Aiping and Associate Professor Li Bing from our school participated in the pre-proposal session as the members of review committee. Master Students in 2015 Journalism and Communication (TCSOL) also attended the session.
