Thanks for the interesting message.
I agree with you that the children should be given the mother language. However, for us in US, it is not possible to step away the english environment. We sent our kid to daycare everyday, and we are trying to talk in Chinese. It is a mixed environment.
I never worried about my kid not good at English, but we have to put a lot of effort to help my kid to learn our mother lanuage - Chinese.
Thank should go to this forum and a lot of nice people here. That helps me a lot.作者: palislee 时间: 2005-3-8 09:42
其实,关于双语教学有最好的范例:香港人。
香港人过去在英国统治下,就是以英语为官方的语言(包括学校里面),平时生活用广东话。几十年下来效果明显:英语很好,但是书面中文基本一塌糊涂。作者: pharmacist 时间: 2005-3-8 10:09
很多人认为在英文国家里孩子的英文必定不成问题,我想提醒大家还是不能大意。就象在中国很多孩子的汉语并不是一定过关一样,孩子说英文没问题不代表他英文程度就高。更何况在家里大家都千方百计制造中文环境,所以孩子的英文词汇比老外相对要少,那就更要求他在别的方面来增加词汇量及一些并非书面的英语应用。
