2018年托福考试费用要多少钱?很多考生报考托福都必须要先了解一下托福考试费用,所以今天为大家带来2018年的托福考试费用介绍,希望这些信息能对你报考托福有帮助。
我们都知道在2016年5月1日托福考试费用和相关的服务项目收费标准就已有所上调,而2018年托福考试费用不变,一些相关的服务项目收费微微上调,以下给大家展示2018年的收费标准:
1.托福网考考试费:1761元
2.逾期报名附加费:288元
3.转考费:576元
4.恢复已取消的成绩:144元
5.成绩增加费(每份):134元
6.口语或写作单项复议:571元
7.口语或写作双项复议:1139元
8.托福复习套餐Prem(不包含考试费):999元
9.托福复习套餐Prep:364元
10.托福复习套餐TPO:209元
11.折扣后报名费:1510元
12.考费差额:126元
13.考费差额:943.5元
14.考费差额:991元
15.考费差额:1226元
有些人想问,为什么托福考试费用这么高?而且是呈递增的趋势,其实托福考试收费标准增加是有多方面的原因,以下就三点讨论:
1.考试管理成本:每年托福考试和雅思考试都会在全球各地展开,可想而知,这些考试的管理成本有多高。
2.考试中心维护成本:托福考试的考点都是租而来,所以需要耗费庞大的租借费用,这些也都是算在了托福考试费用里面。
3.考卷出题费用:一套好的试卷的出题是有讲究的。托福考试可不像我们学校里出的试卷题目一样,随随便便出完了就行了。有几个标准衡量:一题目需要有区分度,不能太难,也不能太简单。二考题不能有歧义,造成批卷困难。三需要排除考生耍小聪明,特别是中国考生,不会的选择题就选长的,看不懂题目就选B或C。针对以上标准,官方雇佣了大量心理教育专家出题,不停测试,所以成本高昂。
所以归根结底,羊毛出在羊身上。这么多成本上涨,所以造成托福考试费用递增的趋势。但托福考试作为全球公认的英语能力测试,还是有一定价值,高昂的托福考试费用还是值得的。

换题季题目思路解析
Describe an interesting place that few people know.
描述一个很少人知道的有趣的地方。
如此圣地,四处都是熙熙攘攘的人群。然而,在园区的西南角有这么一个去处却人迹罕至。这是一座饱含地中海风情的房子,白墙,蓝顶,拱门,阳台,立柱,窄窗。在蔚蓝的地中海边,这是与蓝天白云呼应的画卷,然而在这一片紫色的海洋中,它只是一片孤帆。
The beauty of this manor makes it a tourist magnet. However, one region in the southwest corner sees few visits. It is a house of Mediterranean exoticism, white walls, blue tops, arches, verandas, columns and narrow windows. It should have been in the paintings in the shores of the Mediterranean against blue sky and white clouds. But here in the vast ocean of purple, it is nothing but a lonely pale sail.
*magnet表示有吸引力的人(或地方、物)
它隐于树荫下,没在秀色中。白色与蓝色显得那么枯燥。有的人一眼瞟过,随后便被其边上的粉色花门带走了眼神,忘掉了这近乎卑微的蓝白建筑。它面前的薰衣草都因为它的落魄而羞于斗艳。
It is hidden behind the trees, amid all those attractive colors, which make its white and blue so dry and dull. Some may cast a look at it and then immediately have their eyes glued to the glowing pink arch gates next to this house, completely leaving no room in memory for this humble western structure. Even the lavenders before this house feel shameful to look glowingly glamorous.
*glue to sth 全神贯注地盯着…看;目不转睛地看
近日,被媒体称为“中国雅思之父”胡敏的作品《最棒的方法学英语》隆重上市!本书由东方出版社出版,汇集作者三十多年的教学成果,分享如何用最棒的方法学好英语,希望孩子们爱上英语,感受英语语言的魅力。
英语学习并非为了应试,而应聚焦于核心素养的培养
作者胡敏主张英语学习并非单一的应试目的,而应聚焦于核心素养的培养。针对英语核心素养的培养训练,作者就学习英语的黄金年龄、父母应该如何引导等提出了自己的观点,还对英语的基础学习和各个环节的提高提出了具体可行的办法:“许三多英语学习定律”“10000个小时学习计划”“五步升级语音语调”“口语模仿的三重境界”等,并通过示例一一讲明该如何切实提高。
英语不再只是工具,它成为每位青少年必备的一种能力
作为英语教育专家与管理专家胡敏表示,如今,英语能力为王的时代早已悄然而至,英语不仅仅是敲门砖,也不再只是工具,将成为一种生活必备能力。英语学习最需要的是回归本源、脚踏实地,最呼唤的是真正掌握语言。
走近10后、00后,分享学英语的最棒方法
在写书动笔之前,胡敏跟许多学员交流过阅读习惯和阅读期望。了解清楚后,他才开始写。不说教,只分享。用图片可以呈现,就不用文字;用一句话可以讲清楚,就不用两句话。总之,他就是要用接地气的内容和形式去让孩子爱上学英语。
书名《最棒的方法学英语》有来历。胡敏之前有想过很多书名,总是觉得差点什么。胡敏有每周去视察新航道现场教学的习惯,会和孩子们去交流他们的体会。前段时间看到一个孩子从入我们新航道不到一个月的时间,进步非常之大,禁不住表扬他一句“你真棒”,马上想到为何不用“最棒的方法学英语”呢?父母在鼓励孩子时,最常用的形容词就是“你很棒”“你是最棒的”。最终选这个书名与写书的出发点是符合的。
父母是孩子的英语学习规划者和引导者
书中,胡敏跟家长分享有效的亲子阅读,助力孩子英语学习的方法。在孩子英语学习过程中,父母是孩子的英语学习规划者。父母为孩子的英语学习找准方向,规划英语学习,遵循英语学习规律,抓住孩子语言发展的敏感期,激发孩子有效学习10000个小时英语,培养孩子英语核心素养。同时,父母做孩子的英语学习引导者,激发孩子学习的内在驱动力,鼓励孩子在合作中学习,给孩子信任和学习的信心,培养孩子自我学习和终身学习的能力。
《最棒的方法学英语》凝结着作者三十多年来英语学习的亲身实践、体制内外的英语教学经验,汇集了成千上万英语学习者的学习心得以及家长们的育儿智慧,还存有国内外英语教学和语言学习的研究成果,确实是一本现场教学的英语学习宝典。
2017年7月21日,新航道国际教育集团与中国大学生“一带一路”协同发展行动中心签约仪式在对外经济贸易大学成功举办。天空虽然下了雨,却浇不灭大家火热的激情!
本次与会嘉宾有对外经贸大学党委副书记文君、团中央学校部副部长廉思、新航道国际教育集团总裁胡敏等,以及参与“一带一路”暑期实践活动的团队学生代表们。
“一带一路”是中国之道,是将中国的理念传播到沿线各国,将世界各国连接在一起。这是一个伟大的战略计划,新航道国际教育集团自此将参与其中,为“中国走向世界,世界走向中国”贡献出自己的一份力量!
会议开始,对外经济贸易大学党委副书记文君书记致欢迎词,并对中国大学生“一带一路”行动丰硕成果进行了总结。
2017年,共有近600所高校,1500个团队,12000多名学生参与到“一带一路”专项实践活动中。实践地点遍及甘肃、新疆、宁夏、云南、陕西、浙江等34个省、自治市、直辖市,哈萨克斯坦、马来西亚、印度、英国等20多个国家。
对外经济贸易大学党委副书记文君致欢迎词
今年的社会实践,是希望中国学生能通过对中国形象的调研,增强国家意识和民族文化的认同,同时向沿线的民众,推广“一带一路”的政策和中国的传统文化,也希望中国学生能用自己力所能及的专业力量去推动贸易往来。
结尾时,文君书记动情说道:“今年我们与新航道一起开拓‘一带一路’合作的新航道,也期待未来我们在团中央的指导下,在项目成果的转换、双方未来战略发展上,有更多合作的契机和可能。最后希望我们合作顺利,让丝绸之路成为青春之路、认同之路、共享之路。”

受聘仪式
新航道总裁胡敏受聘为中国大学生“一带一路”协同发展行动中心专家委员会委员
新航道公关媒体总监李纯受聘为2017年“丝路新世界·青春中国梦”全国大学生暑期社会实践专项行动宣传总顾问
签约和受聘仪式结束后,参与“一带一路”暑期实践活动的团队学生代表们就各自活动的计划和设想进行了一场精彩纷呈的汇报。
其中丝路新贸团队的“噫吁嚱”小队讲述了他们以“‘一带一路’背景下重庆咖啡产业在现代电商环境下的发展前景及咖啡创意产品的推广”为主题的实践设想和计划。
“一方面,重庆虽然不产咖啡,但属于‘一带一路’与长江经济带节点的优势地理位置,为咖啡产业的发展提供了便利条件,重庆咖啡产业的发展前景光明;另一方面,由于重庆地处中国腹地,咖啡文化氛围较为薄弱,咖啡产业开拓本地的市场难度较大,对客户的吸引力弱,这些都是重庆咖啡产业在发展过程中可能遇到的问题,而这就需要我们提出合理有效的推广方案,以促进其成长。”
今年暑假,“噫吁嚱”小队将前往重庆,针对当地咖啡产业进行调研,汲取国内外经验教训,提出合理建议,助力咖啡文化创意产品走向世界。
实践团队代表汇报中
除此之外,有两个专门奔赴海外的精英团队:俄罗斯“勘察家”团队和格鲁吉亚先锋团,其中格鲁吉亚先锋团的项目格外受人瞩目。
格鲁吉亚项目是团中央指导下,以“丝路新世界·青春中国梦”为主题的六个分项活动之一。格鲁吉亚项目以其独有的“走出去”国际视野和跨国实践安排,践行着“一带一路”推动沿线地区和国家发展的宗旨,是大学生参与新时代丝路文明建设的大胆尝试。
本次实践活动不仅涵盖了丰富的实践活动,也给予了同学们以自身行动在国际舞台上推动新时代丝路发展的机会。团队以打造“一带一路”沿线国家大学生实践经典项目为目标,希望以此带动一批有为青年,为未来投身国家“一带一路”发展战略积蓄力量。
实践团队代表汇报中
另外还有两支团队参与的是“一带一路”政策和扶贫政策相结合所成立的项目,旨在关注“一带一路”沿线西部的城市和乡村。
其中“研行学堂”团队是一支非常成熟的实践团队,已经走过了15个省、自治区、直辖市,并在去年囊括了团中央所有的活动奖项,其所拍摄的纪录片更是入围了北京电影节的单元专项。今年8月份团队将参与“一带一路”乡村关爱专题,为当地的小学生送去教育,拓宽他们的视野。
实践团队代表汇报中
听完团队学生代表们的发言,总裁胡敏已记了满纸的笔记,他激动地点评道:“听到同学们的报告,可以用四个字来形容——热血沸腾。不能不感叹同学们真是生活在一个非常伟大且幸福的时代,我们那时候上大学完全没有这样的机遇。同时,我也很感动,这几个团队都有非常系统且深度的计划和行动方案,这是大家的共同特点。”
“除此之外,涉及的面也比较宽广,主要以经济贸易和文化教育两条线铺陈开来。一方面,同学们现在在学校就学习这两方面的专业知识;另一方面,同学们有机会去实践自己在大学校园里所学到的知识,这是检验也是反思的机会,能帮助大家得到一个更快的成长。”
总裁胡敏精彩点评中
总裁胡敏继续说道:“现在我在这里表个态,今后不管哪个实践团队,在任何方面,有需要我们新航道或者我自己具体做些什么的地方,我们一定尽力而为。比方说,我听到其中有两个团队要到比较落后的地区去支教,那么我愿意跟其中一个团队去进行一次深度体验,真正送去我们的关爱、知识和希望。非常有幸能够跟同学们一起学习、并肩战斗,真心祝愿大家活动取得圆满成功。”
最后,总裁胡敏为即将开拔的实践团队各送出了三套书——《最有价值的梦想》《奋斗成就梦想》《最棒的方法学英语》,祝愿同学们今后都能成长为具有国际视野和出色能力的祖国栋梁之材!

新航道国际教育集团总裁兼校长胡敏做客中国网演播室
中国网:中国网教育频道,传递中国教育最强音!亲爱的观众朋友们大家好,这里是《教育名人堂》,我是主持人晓霞。
近年来,出国留学成为一种趋势,因其不仅能够锻炼学生独立思考和解决问题的能力,同时也能扩展视野,扩大知识面。今天我们有请到的是新航道国际教育集团总裁兼校长胡敏,听听胡总给我们讲讲有关出国留学的问题以及他对此的思考与建议。胡总您好!
胡敏:王主编好,观众朋友大家好。
中国网:近年来出国留学成为了一种非常风靡的现象,而且低龄留学也正逐渐成为一种趋势,您如何看待目前出国留学的这种现状呢?
胡敏:现在出国留学确实是一浪盖过一浪越来越热,低龄化现象也越来越普及。现在的情况是:如果你不出去走一走,去看一看外面的世界,你还真以为你眼前的就是世界。尤其在这个移动互联网的时代,现在的年轻人都是新生代,他们更是有这种想去了解世界的渴望。
我们暂且不说现在这些孩子,我们先站在历史的角度,从历史的长河里看看那些看过世界的人。中国个看世界的人应该是出使西域,开辟丝绸之路的张骞。 20世纪30年代,钱学森先生背井离乡,远赴美国去留学深造和工作,回国之后成为了中国航天之父,推动了整个中国科学的发展。从历史走到现今,我们国家“一带一路”的倡议也是在加强国际交流与拓展国际关系。除此之外,不得不提到“千人计划”,它围绕着整个国家的发展战略目标,旨在推进整个海外高端人才的引进过程。
从方方面面我们都能看出来,国家处在如今高速发展的时代,是急需要大量的国际化人才的。2010-2020国家中长期教育改革发展与规划纲要就明确提出,我们现在需要满足的是适应整个国家经济社会对外开放的需求。这就需要培养一大批具备国际视野、通晓国际规则,并且能够参与到国际事务与国际竞争中去的国际化人才。
所以从整体上来看,以上体现的就是出国留学的必要性。接下来咱们再来谈谈第二个——可行性。最近这些年,中国的经济实力越来越强大,中国已经成为了全球的第二大经济实体。在这种情况下,咱们普通老百姓的日子越来越好过,生活越来越富裕,有这个经济实力能够把孩子送出国留学,有权利去选择更好的高等教育资源。这就是我所说的出国留学的可行性。
除了上面提到的必要性和可行性,咱们还需要了解中国的现状。大部分情况下,我们只注意到了中国学生出国留学的数目,而没有留意国外学生来中国留学的数目。现在我拿数据来跟大家分享一下,2016年中国学生到海外去留学的人数突破了54万。而同年来华的留学生是44万。对比来看会发现,这个差距在越来越缩小。而且很有意思的是这44万人里面超过20万是来自“一带一路”沿线国家和地区。所以现在是中国在走向世界,世界也在走向中国。这是我们要了解的一个现状。
新航道国际教育集团总裁兼校长胡敏做客中国网《教育名人堂》
中国网:您刚才提到了出国留学的必要性和可行性。我们也知道在民国时期,有很多大家出国留学,然后回国建设祖国,目前我们学生出国留学他们的目标是什么呢?
胡敏:我觉得他们的目标主要以下是几个方面:一是拓展国际视野,你若没有走出去看,你不会知道外面世界的丰富和精彩;二是提升国际文化交流能力,即与世界对话与国际接轨的沟通能力;三是学习专业知识,也就是学习到世界上发达国家和地区比较好的教育理念、先进的科学技术,以及特色文化和历史习俗等。
这几个方面可能是他们最直接的收获。
中国网:那么随着全球一体化的发展,国与国之间的交流也非常的迫切,这方面的需求正在日益扩大。那么新航道是如何面对新留学时代的到来呢?
胡敏:在这个新的留学时代,新航道作为一个专注出国留学语言培训的专业机构,我们肯定要有所作为。我们首先做的一个事情就是顺势而为,顺着大时代的潮流前进。具体做到什么呢?,我们在一些主要的城市,如北京、西安、济南、青岛、武汉、长沙、上海、广州等推出了一站式的出国留学服务。
也就是说,若孩子有出国留学的意向,先与我们的专业留学顾问沟通,然后再看看他的语言培训的需求,进行语言培训。紧接着就是留学申请服务,这就包括他整个留学申请过程中具体的升学指导。无论是家长带着孩子前来,或是学生自己来新航道,他所有的问题,我们都会提供一揽子的解决方案,语培留学一站式通关。
那第二,我们特别关注现在这些低龄化留学生,尤其是找出他们的痛点是什么。首先是英语技能不过关;其次是团队协作能力比较差,因为现在大部分都是独生子女,平时家里管得比较严,与外面基础互动少,导致社会交往能力比较差;还有就是批判性思维能力薄弱。
针对这些孩子英语不过关、社会交往能力和团队协作能力比较差,以及批判性思维比较弱等方面新航道给这些孩子量身打造了一款系统的课程,这套课程叫做留学英语能力预备课程。这个课程是我们和全球的英国教育机构——麦克米伦教育集团联手推出的,旨在全面提升学生们的英语素养,重点攻克三座大山,即刚才所提到的:社会交往能力、批判性思维能力、团队协作能力。
以上提到这两点,都是属于顺势而为的范畴 。
另外一方面,我们还要为这些学生做一些引领性的工作。在现今整个培训行业里面,我们要深刻地意识到一点,就是每个孩子都是独特的,个性化教育是现代教育的一个重要特征。所以在新航道我们就主打一种服务方式——个性化服务。有人可能把个性化服务简单地理解为一对一。但其实并不是这样,一个班几十个孩子,也可以做到个性化。这种个性化的含义是基于对每一个孩子整体情况的了解,做出相对应的教学指导实践,帮助孩子提升英语能力。
综上所述,在新的留学时代,新航道主要做三件事情:,给学生提供一站式的留学语培服务指导;第二,攻克低龄留学生痛点,提升英语能力,搬走三座大山;第三,提供专属个性化服务和培训。
新航道国际教育集团总裁兼校长胡敏做客中国网《教育名人堂》
中国网:您刚才提到了学生出国留学的痛点,包括批判性思维能力、社会交往能力、团队协作能力等。这些可以通过英语学习获得吗?
胡敏:对,应该说英语是一个载体。低龄化留学生所面临的三大问题,即社会交往能力差、团队协作能力差、批判性思维弱,你深层次去看的时候,实际上核心问题是其语言能力问题。因为他不具备语言的表达能力。所以提升英语能力很关键,但如果只是教学生语音语调语法、听说读写,没有将上面三个方面的核心问题融进去,即便学生英语有所提升,一旦参与到社会生活中,其核心问题还是会暴露出来,无法得到解决。
中国网:那实际上涉及到了一个应试和素质的问题。
胡敏:对,您说的非常对。确实是这样,现在培养孩子一定主打其本身的素质或者是素养。在这个基础上,其他能力的提升就是一个水到渠成的结果。所以在这个新时代留学背景下,新航道主要做的就是刚才所提到的三件事情。这几个方面,成果还是比较显著的,很多孩子经过我们的语言培训和留学升学指导成功进入了心仪的学校,甚至一些还去了美国常青藤院校如哈佛、康奈尔、麻省理工,或是英国剑桥牛津等,这些榜样的故事在新航道经常是发生的。
中国网:所以新航道有一个与众不同的核心理念叫做高能高分是吧。非常巧合,我在上高中的时候参加过一个辩论赛,辩题叫高分是否高能。那么我们新航道是如何以终为始来促进学生能力的增长呢?
胡敏:王主编实际上已经把我们新航道高能高分界定得非常清楚了,就是以终为始。但现在很多教育培训机构,甚至一些公立学校依然还停留在应试教育的层面上,唯分数至上。这是一种急功近利的表现。真正的教育要着眼于孩子未来的职业发展,乃至整个人生的成长最关键最核心的事情是要提升孩子的能力。
英语也不例外,所以开始创建新航道的时候,我们就想做一个不同的英语教育培训机构。这个不同一定是本质上的不同,骨子里面的不同。在这样一个时代背景下,太多的人急功近利非常浮躁时,我们要静下心来回归英语教育的本质,告诉大家事实的真相。什么是真相?真相就是当你的英语不具备沟通能力时,你的英语分数就什么也不是。
但追求真理是一个比较艰难的过程,所以最开始表达高能高分理念时也不是那么容易被公众接受。但到后来,越来越多的家长发现自己的孩子因为英语能力的欠缺而在国外遭遇了很多困难,甚至到了寸步难行的地步。有了这种血的教训后,他们才开始深刻地领悟到提升英语能力的重要性。
这么多年,新航道的信念一直不曾动摇过,我们坚决相信:因为高能所以高分。千万不要本末倒置,一味地追求分数,而忽略了能力的提升。
中国网:大家经常说教育是农业,它需要一个缓慢生长的过程。我们在跟学校教育沟通和交流的时候,也能够感受到,其实学校也面临着来自于社会、家长的压力,我相信新航道肯定也是如此。我们怎么样能够得到家长的理解呢?
胡敏:我们会跟家长们分享一个道理,即:这个世界就是这么现实和残酷,你在任何领域、在任何阶段干得最漂亮,取得成就的事情,往往是因为你在上面花费了最多的精力。大家都知道八二原则,讲得就是很多时候你要下80%的功夫才能得到那个20%的成果。但大部分情况下,我们是直奔主题,只追求成果,而忽略了在整个过程所需要的付出和努力。在新航道,当我们追求和实践英语高能高分的教育理念时,是想告诉大家,你要把80%的时间花在英语听说读写技能的提升上面,剩下20%的时间花在英语具体的某一种考试的备考上面。但现在大家方向都跑反了,80%的时间在天天刷题、刷分,而真正用于英语能力提升的时间可能20%都不到。所谓的美其名曰:我来补习英语实际上压根就不是那么回事,他是天天在刷题。这是我们不希望在新航道看到的。
我们坚定地相信这是一个正确的方向,我们要有一个正确的认识:把80%的时间用来提升孩子们的英语实际能力;20%的时间用来提升他们的考试技巧和策略等应试方面的能力。
中国网:您刚才强调了是高能高分,也就是说先有能力才有分数。新航道提出了高能高分,我相信您个人也非常认同这个理念,我们听说您有一个非常的儿子。您是如何培养您的孩子的?
胡敏:我们家孩子,他在考试的准备上面花的时间是很少的,比如托福考试。他平时比较注重英语修养的提升,经常会把自己浸泡在一个英语世界的氛围里。所以后来他托福考完后,我让他去考一考雅思。我给他准备了几本备考的书,一本书里有四套题。我说你要好好准备,把这几本书全部干掉。但孩子就把本书套题的听力和阅读部分翻了翻,写作口语部分压根都没看,就直接走进了考场。他当时还只是一个中学生,但他的雅思总分是7.5分,几乎算是裸考分数,非常不错,毕竟雅思满分9分,7分以上申请去世界前十的院校都没什么问题。。
这个现象说明了对孩子教育要注重四点。,要注重孩子语言能力的提升,这才是我们追求的目标。学生可能对考试结构等都不了解,但因为他有实力,所以他冲进考场也可以考个高分,这才是的效果和结果。 第二,在孩子的成长过程中,家长要学会欣赏孩子的一些想法,然后要大胆地鼓励他去追求他的这些想法。我家孩子曾到美国参加一个游学项目,回来以后他就有到美国去上大学这个想法。作为家长,孩子有这个想上更好学校的渴望,那我们就应该鼓励,并且及时地给予充分的肯定和鼓励。这是很关键的一点。
当家长在鼓励和认可孩子想法时,实际上就是在帮他树立目标。我们经常说树立一个小目标,确实始终要让孩子心里有一个目标。有了目标后,比方说他想到美国留学深造,想去上的大学,学的专业,就能够帮助孩子快速地提升和发展。第三,在孩子树立目标的过程中,要帮助孩子得到真正的成长。什么成长呢?比如沟通表达能力的提升。现在很多孩子沟通和表达都是有问题的,面对一个情境时很多孩子都无话可说,他们不知道如何表达自己的观点和看法,甚至无法理解这个世界。再比如领导力的培养,在现代社会,若想有个成功的人生,领导力是必不可少的。第四,家长不要帮孩子搞定一切事情,要让孩子自己大胆地去闯世界,去参加各种各样的社会实践活动,包括兼职、打工、实习等,与社会可能性地接轨,这样孩子才能释放出自己的能量,发挥他的无限潜能。
中国网:在跟您交流的过程中,我能感受到您是一个非常开明又智慧的父亲。我很好奇,在公司您是一个什么样的形象。我听员工说,好像很多员工不是特别认识您。所以有一次电视台过来采访,您把直播间让给了家长和学生,自己却在书房接受了采访。您为什么这样低调呢?
胡敏:说实话我个人认为,经营一家企业和建设好一个家庭,两者之间,道理都是相通的。比方说,作为家长,自己不严格要求自己,却对孩子提很多要求,这是很过分的,所以家长要以身作则。其次,如果家长要培养孩子好的习惯,自己却没有好的习惯,这也是不合理的。最后,作为家长,要经常跟孩子互动,要陪伴他成长,共同成长。
以上这些都可以应用到一家企业里。企业负责人这个身份就相当于家长的身份。那么同样要以身作则,要有好的习惯,并能够感染到大家。同时还要以平和的态度与员工互动和交流。为什么很多人作为家长是失败的,因为他在孩子面前总是居高临下;为什么有些企业让员工感觉不温暖,同样因为老总总是一副高高在上的姿态。
在新航道,我们希望能营造一个比较宽松比较和谐的公司文化氛围。如果家长、学生,甚至员工在电梯里面不认识我,实际上我是窃喜的。为什么?我觉得当没几个人知道我胡敏时,才是新航道真正的成功。在我心里面,新航道是远远高于大于胡敏两个字的。这是我心里坚持的一个原则。
也就是说,新航道的成功才是每一个人的成功。只有新航道成功了,才能够说是我的成功。其次,新航道在所有员工同事、学生家长,以及社会各界人士的关注下得以成长为一家全国知名机构,有了社会价值、社会认可度和社会公信力,这是新航道的成功,也是大家的成功。所以我们对新航道员工有个要求就是,要把新航道当成大家的一个命运共同体,而我也只是其中的一分子而已。
刚才您提到我把那个约好了的直播间腾出来给家长和学生的事情事,其实这样的情况在新航道是经常发生的。比如寒暑假高峰期时,因为学员人数众多,在教学场地严重不足的情况下,我们这些老总、校长的办公室全部都要让出来。为什么?学生的利益永远是要放在位的。在新航道,所有的事情都要为学生和家长让路,这是我们秉承的一种信念。
我经常跟老师们经常说一句话,就是当学生踏入新航道的课堂,那么从此时此刻开始,学生就是你天大的事,其他所有的事都要放在一边去。你看现在我们录节目,我的手机直接就关机,这是我的习惯。而且现在我也把这个习惯渗透到了我们的新航道的课堂里。现在在新航道,全国所有的三百多个学习中心的任何一间教室里,只要老师和学生开始上课,手机都要放到一边去,这个叫无手机课堂。
注重这样的细节,都是源于我们始终都在为学生的学习效果着想。
中国网:就如您所说,新航道不是一个人的,而是大家的。在新航道有一个破天荒的举动,就是实行总裁办公会制度,每月初的一天,咱们执行部门的负责人和分校的校长,都会轮流当一次主持人。他们不仅负责主持,同时还要担当集团的CEO角色,推动集团事务发展。我听说有好几位轮值的CEO还是80后,这个举动真是非常大胆也非常有魄力。您为什么实行这样的制度?成效怎么样?
胡敏:创办新航道这些年,我一直希望能在方方面面都开辟一个新的航道,包括运营管理方面。CEO办公会的轮值制度是比较大胆的尝试。而这实际上是受到咱们国家最伟大的企业之一——华为轮值CEO创意的启发。但在新航道,我们是每个月开设总裁办公会。每一个总裁办公会成员,就是刚才您所提到的这些校长、总经理、总监等,他们来组织这一个月的工作。
为什么可以这样做?首先,我觉得现在的这些年轻人,真是富有激情、富有理想,又能够吃苦耐劳,舍得拼。我经常被我团队的成员们感动到。我团队的核心成员,基本上都是80后,90后当校长、总经理也有。我把这些人放到最重要的位置上,我的个出发点就是希望他们有全局意识。
原来他只分管这个部门,或是分管他这个分校,他可能更多的是考虑自己的立场。但当他作为办公会轮值成员组织会议时,他就会站在全局的角度考虑问题,这样实际上有助于他把自己分内事情做得更好。一个人有全局观念,局部就会做得更好,这是我背后的理念之一。
其次,按照整个新航道现在的发展速度,我们需要大批有全局意识、有情怀、有追求的年轻人能够快长起来。所以开会时,我一般是听他们说。听他们说完后,我再进行适当的点评。在吃饭间歇,我们也会有一些交流。通过这样的方式能够帮助到他们,让他们从这个办公会里学到一些东西,收获一些经验。这是第二个出发点,希望他们能够得到成长。
第三个出发点是希望能挖掘出有巨大潜力的人。通过总裁办公会,让我能够有机会观察到这些人的优点、缺点以及他们未来几年的潜力和提升空间。这是为了集团的战略发展,进行一些这样初步的评估分析,希望他们中间有一些人能够脱颖而出。对于这些年轻人来说,都是很好的成长机会。,你给我信任。第二,要有责任,压担子。第三,你信任了我,你给我压了担子,我也有收获。收获是两方面的,一个是成长方面,第二个是待遇方面。他们现在身兼要职,承担了更多的责任,自然有更大的这种回报。总得来说,总裁办公会轮值这种形式,到现在为止效果还是非常不错的。但今后我们还会进行更多的探索。这个世界很多事情就是这样,从来没有人做过的,你就要去冒险去探索,才会有更大的成功。
中国网:所以您的这个总裁办公会制度,实际上也是一个人才培养和选拔的制度。咱们新航道给了年轻人很多的信任和发展的空间。
胡敏:对,这只是其中一个很重要的方面。当然在其他很多方面,他们得到了更大的信任,也被赋予了更多的责任。
中国网:最后一个问题,您是英语培训机构的总裁,圆了百万学子的留学梦。我听说您非常喜欢一首歌叫《我的中国心》,每次在新航道的联欢会上都会演唱这首歌。那您觉得出国留学和爱国是一个什么样的关系,二者之间矛盾吗?
胡敏:我先说一说《我的中国心》这首歌吧。我是1983年大学毕业,这首歌是张明敏先生在1982年唱的。次听他唱这首歌的时候,我还是一个在校的大学生,当时我就被他饱满的深情和爱国之心深深感动到。这些年这首歌一直在我的心里面。歌曲整个的韵味、主题和情感,在我的成长过程中打上了一个深深的烙印。
至于爱国跟现在出国留学的关系,表面上好像是有矛盾,但实际上,很多学生,出了国,才知道自己多么爱国。而那些真真实实有爱国情操,心里面有一颗强大中国心的留学生才能有作为。我们不能说出国留学就是否定自己,就是变成了另外一个国家的青年。这些留学生走出去以后,在拓展国际视野时,在学习国外先进的教育理念科技文化知识时,是应该充当一个讲中国故事的传播者。
你去讲中国故事,向这个世界介绍中国。如果我们对自己国家都没有这种身份的深刻认同,我们很难说,你到底能够走多远。我们不用举很多的例子。前面提到的像钱学森这些伟大的科学家,包括最近越来越多回到祖国参加建设的留学生们,他们最后能够有所作为,有所成就,都是因为他们深深地热爱着自己的祖国——中国。
所以要有一颗中国心,然后再放眼全球。让中国走向世界,让世界走向中国。
中国网:感谢胡总。
高能高分是新航道的核心教育理念,那么学生只有具备了良好的学习素养和较高的英语能力,才能考出更好的成绩,那么期望在新航道等留学机构的影响下,有更多的学生出国留学拓展视野,促进国际间的交流与发展。
我们本期的《名人堂》就到这里,谢谢大家。
