The research proposal is designed to explore the rise in commercial pathway programs by considering the value they create and leverage. (A pathway programme is a language school that is run by a multinational corporation, and which partners with English-speaking universities.) Specifically, the proposal seeks to track pathway student expenditures and activities that arise in transnational movements from Beijing to universities located in London. The suggested approach draws on methods used in expenditure tracking studies, including interviews with students, parents, and recruiting agents in Beijing and London. The theoretical novelty of this proposal comes from considering what role the physical movement of students-through pathway programmes-plays in the creation of value. This is a promising avenue to uncover tensions between (local) value systems and (global) markets. Applied in tandem, economic and anthropological understandings of value can help make these tensions visible, and inform our understanding of the rise of pathway programs. The aim is to capture rich expenditure and mobility data, which in turn can deepen contemporary discussions about the commercialisation and globalisation of education.

该研究计划旨在通过考虑商业途径课程创造和利用的价值来探索商业途径课程的兴起。（衔接课程是由一家跨国公司经营的语言学校，与讲英语的大学合作。）具体而言，该提案旨在追踪从北京到伦敦大学的跨国流动中出现的衔接学生支出和活动。建议的方法借鉴了支出跟踪研究中使用的方法，包括与北京和伦敦的学生、家长和招聘代理进行访谈。这一提议在理论上的新颖之处在于，它考虑了学生的身体运动——通过衔接课程——在价值创造中所起的作用。这是揭示（当地）价值体系和（全球）市场之间紧张关系的一个有希望的途径。经济学和人类学对价值的理解结合起来应用，有助于使这些紧张关系变得可见，并告知我们对途径项目兴起的理解。其目的是获取丰富的支出和流动性数据，这反过来又可以加深当代关于教育商业化和全球化的讨论。
