Subjects usually taught in Chinese are: Chinese Language Arts, Social Studies, Art and Physical Education. The school has adopted an integrated approach which facilitates social and academic interaction with students in the regular program.

.....
% K* ]4 ^# I* G# a4 K) y这首先取决于父母的态度,刚出国时净遇上不知道自己属什么的,一上来就跟你整洋文。其实用不着别人介绍,就您那穿戴那作派,谁还猜不出您是什么鸟变的?英文您说得好也就算了,那腔那调的是人嘴里说出来的吗?闹得老美挺纳闷:你们不都是从中国来的,干嘛怎么费劲说英文呀?知道有鸦片战争八国联军,不是没成了殖民地吗?您说咱能告诉她:抗日战争打了八年就是因为汉奸太多吗?就这在那儿都喳喳呼呼生怕人家把她当哑巴卖了的主儿还挺自豪:我儿子在家里一句中文都不说。
6 W4 g% J7 F, [' X
3 o4 r0 ^+ L8 z% j( [近几年真没怎么遇上这号人,可能是交往的缘故。早年在学校,人多也杂,那会儿年轻气盛,遇上这号的总要损他几句。后来世故多了,不理会就是了,交往的都是憋着劲把儿女培养成中央电视台播音员的主儿。人在异乡,见了中国人说几句中国话,舒服。您说练英文的地方有的是,再不济您大街上跟那无家可归的聊,怎么著也能练成个半生不熟吧。' m' i% g2 I  l3 d* R
* w8 A% n% G4 e) T
我们家的小虎子小时候同爷爷奶奶相处了一段时间,那时节中文还算流利。就是越长大中文越退步,一旦上了学,中文就一溃千里,在家里只有虎子和虎太用中文问,他用英文回答,还挺麻利,看来将来真可以当翻译,不过只能中译英,反过来虾米了。
7 c) a$ ?4 v- R' [* ^
( @+ t; \: B7 w6 d家里的情况都是这样,所以才有了中文学校。刚来的时候中文学校基本上是台湾人办的,对大陆来的有些难度。好不好另说,他用的注音咱就不会,家长没法辅导。您说都是中文学的规矩不一样这怎么得了,所以一定要解放台湾把他的拼音废了。好在两岸外交战也落实在中文教育上,在使馆的支持下希望学校什么的雨后春笋,等小虎子上中文学校时台湾人改学咱的汉语拼音了,祖国统一首先在美国的中文学校里实现了!( Y) g7 v. Y2 P* w: b) @

中文学校上得是一开始孩子们兴趣不小,过了一年半载的没几个乐意的.....再往后一到星期六小虎子就闹别扭,为什么我们班就我一个礼拜六上学呀?我为什么要学中文呀?我真希望跟他们一样是美国人他意见大了。费了虎子夫妻多少嘴皮子,讲道理举例子,终於让他树立起身为中国人的自豪,和学中文的少许积极性。思想工作真是制胜的法宝,做好了立竿见影。小虎子碰见谁跟谁侃我是中国人我教你说中文:你好。要不怎么说不怕现代化就怕毛泽东化那。2 X3 I5 Z& @# t# K4 @( @2 D. X

6 ?! b& |" m; i8 C  z0 c有积极性了进步也不大,关键是没有环境。只有爹妈每天晚上这段时间还有其他事要做,象学校里的家庭作业、补习班、练钢琴、练游泳、踢足球、练空手道。中文学校每周也就俩钟头,而且除了上课,一下课孩子们立马满口英文。朋友聚会小孩也讲英文,因为基本上全是听得懂不会说的,听懂的也是只懂自己爹妈说话,换个人就不明白了。小孩中间即使有个能说的,一开口一群孩子没一个听懂的,多尴尬。; h% q% m, b6 |3 p1 P

6 C9 |8 S2 ^  J' K$ E0 b学好祖语这方面中国人真要向其他民族学习,说西语的咱比不了,他有那大环境。比比老印,咱也差远了,他有小环境,在他那圈里,孩子聚在一起就是本民族的话。咱是大人说大人的,孩子说孩子的。9 E# J+ ?  t( y, J# g0 v
7 [/ q% A; i0 a2 z9 n/ ]
其实这些都是客观原因,虎子也遇见家长持之以恒的,在家就不能说一句英文,定下了死规矩,孩子自然会说好中文。可是能做到这一点的能有几个?让这帮ABC讲好中文,虎子以为一是要改革海外中文教育,提高孩子学中文的兴趣和自觉性。二是在中国人中间创造小孩说中文的环境。说起来容易,前几天和一位同事聊起此事,他是德国移民后裔,从小爹妈也狠督促德文来着,现在,全忘了。

虎子一朋友河南人,那年带孩子回国探亲,在北京玩几天。有一次等公共汽车时,孩子看那站牌,好半天发现认识一个字特兴奋:爸爸,爸爸这字我认识,是那什么。他爸见到这么些年辛辛苦苦的中文教育终於出了成果也特兴奋:对,真棒!好儿子什么的紧着鼓励。说了两句发现旁边等车的人群眼神不对,其中有一位小声嘀咕:“哪儿来的外地老冒,弱智”。自己一想可不吗,穿着十来年前的款式,十岁出头的孩子站牌上的字看了半天只认识一个,搁在国内不是弱智是什么?2 u4 J+ h, f8 I

What effect will learning another language have on my child’s English language

What effect will learning another language have on my child’s English language skills?
4 X2 c7 v, P6 H4 g# D$ e, a0 R# e2 t9 u  P6 ~: ?/ K0 x) N+ L
Many parents worry that their children’s English language skills will be affected by learning another language. The truth is that a child’s English will not be harmed by learning another language and may even be improved!9 ^" U5 E! X. C6 z( ?

# l2 Z9 h' ~# e" k, z) R: tIn studies that looked at the effect of learning another language on the English language skills, the results have been positive. Students in second language programs readily transfer the skills they learn in one language to the other. They learn a lot about the English language by looking for similarities and differences between English and the language they are learning.  
3 c2 u: ?! f5 |; f1 P# Z. j7 R. }. T6 y3 [2 l+ w) c8 V
All Alberta students take the same English language arts program and are expected to achieve the same standards. In early immersion programs, because of the initial focus on learning the second language, students do lag behind peers in the regular program in some English skills. However, they quickly catch up once they have had one or two years of English language arts. By Grade 5 or Grade 6, children in immersion programs do as well as or better than those in the English language program.
2 K( w1 p8 X( v) O9 b, O2 b) n- X4 D8 c+ w  ?0 x0 R+ H( t2 x
Many studies have found that English skills are actually enhanced by learning another language. Immersion and bilingual program students often outperform students in the regular program in some English skill areas. * ^6 b2 Z/ s4 @- B: i

At what age should my child begin to learn another language?
' H# E, m. ~4 ]6 p) Z$ L; g" h+ \2 Z# r, m3 x6 W: K: P
There is no magic age to begin learning another language! Languages can be learned at any age or stage of life. Interest and motivation are the key factors.
0 I; R7 H+ p8 m" {. b% l
6 O4 R7 D; A7 i  F) T2 LMost language learning experts agree that it is easier to learn another language at a young age (before adolescence). The earlier children are exposed to another language, the greater their chances of learning to use the language like a native speaker. This is because:
- m5 [, i3 e# n. |9 y. R9 Q5 T' x& ~•        language learning appeals to the younger child’s love of repetition and mimicry
# I% m  t9 I- Y0 X, [% n•        younger children’s communication needs are less complex than those of older children or adults! J$ c3 Z8 ^, N3 V* b
•        unlike older children and adults, younger children are risk takers and not afraid of making mistakes
/ o3 N+ w/ x  T9 A•        a younger child’s vocal structures are more flexible than those of older children or adults—this makes it easier to develop an authentic accent.! ~$ p& k+ m! x- [
8 R" I/ k: O* {! b! D! h" _" ^" J
As a general rule, the more time your child spends learning another language the more proficient he or she will become. 0 o7 X/ v% G8 F
+ {6 e5 X6 |# r6 V8 F
For a young child, choose a language program or course sequence that begins in the elementary grades and continues throughout the secondary years. Encourage your child to stick with it.! v0 m% x1 b0 }; z  _
1 f: n9 M: C6 C" p0 x3 g
When helping an older child choose a second language program or course sequence, discuss the options available. Talk about how the benefits fit with his or her future goals. Encourage a long-term commitment.3 Z4 K2 P$ ], ]8 R& }7 s
% Q  ?1 X1 y4 T+ t* c# b) E9 R& P+ i
Remember, learning any language is a lifelong pursuit! Just as your child’s first language skills will improve over time, so too will your child’s second language skills. A long-term commitment will give your child the best results!" Q1 }$ t6 x1 g' n* ]2 H( Z+ q

Learning a Second Language will Prepare Your Child for the World of Work
5 Q( z8 L; F6 s' Y( n7 @$ X3 h6 w* G8 m: C: H: y. ]# y/ x( S
In the late 1990s, a common reason for learning a second language is preparation for the workforce. Whether it is a part-time job or a long-term career, your child’s second language skills will provide a competitive edge and/or simply make work easier and more rewarding.
$ z! _% t% P* W) ^' ]0 C+ [
: Z+ _+ N6 q9 xThe experience of learning a second language also develops and enhances important job-related skills. Prospective employers are recognizing that people who have second language skills also bring other skills to the workplace. For example, in a second language class students learn to:

The Rationale for Learning the Chinese Language (Mandarin) in the Province of Alberta5 M6 w2 l% B3 c9 N% G# ?1 Y! g9 n; I9 F* a
, u  e0 ^, L$ T- ]- ?7 @. p- {
The value for Canadian society as a whole of learning the Chinese language is significant and can be summarized as follows: " h: w" l$ M' c  Q$ x
        •         increased awareness of and sensitivity to cultural and linguistic diversity , f) U. h5 _% V  ]# J+ _$ w. ?. w
        •         improved potential in the Canadian and global marketplace and workplace 2 `" f/ `* h5 S5 n# ~
        •         enhanced role in the international community. 7 \3 G1 ~( R/ E) B

  F' d  k% ?3 M% o' X1 xApart from the common advantages related to the learning of an international language, the learning of Chinese permits an insight into the rich and varied cultures developed in the Chinese-speaking world and bestows more opportunity to communicate directly with its people.  The learning of Chinese, as any other language, develops awareness of and sensitivity to cultural and linguistic diversity.  In addition to preserving cultural identity, it is also a means of cultural enrichment and is the best means of fostering understanding and respect among peoples and countries.
9 S4 j+ n* g' V! \+ P, \4 r( N1 ]2 z% l9 r* \' j' J4 f
Furthermore, it gives the opportunity to identify, question and challenge one’s own cultural assumptions, values and perspectives and contribute positively to society. These are benefits that can be gained by all students of Chinese, regardless of their backgrounds or heritage.
( p) X  E7 q+ y% `& z' |5 u9 x0 l4 S
For those students who already have some knowledge of the Chinese language or a family connection to the culture, learning Chinese offers an opportunity to renew contact with their language and culture.  For some, it may contribute to maintaining and developing literacy.
( [2 L0 J( H( [( ~# W" l- h2 E. u+ s
There is significant evidence to suggest that learning another language contributes to the development of first language skills and enhances cognitive functioning. Learning a second language increases the ability to conceptualize, to think abstractly, and it fosters more cognitive flexibility, greater divergent thinking, creativity and metalinguistic competence.
& n5 N: ?* ?2 M- e8 X
5 u) y, f' r: f$ s3 \6 t; {3 o7 @In today’s global world, the knowledge of a second language and culture in general, and Chinese in particular, is an economic advantage for the individual, providing language skills that enable people to communicate and interact effectively in the global society.

9 L- k3 i. X# P! M+ G        汉语拼音当今已广泛应用在现代通信、交通、贸易、中文信息处理和工业生产、国防等领域,并作为国际标准被许多国家认可和使用。汉语拼音为汉字和普通话提供了科学、准确的记音和学习工具,在识字、阅读、写作、学习普通话方面发挥了重要作用。特别是进入信息时代,在中文信息处理中,利用字母键盘直接输入汉语拼音转换成汉字输出,是中国电脑和移动电话用户采用的最主要的中文输入方式,极大地方便了中国信息技术的普及和发展。因此,在双语学校中,教学汉语拼音、借助汉语拼音学习汉语汉字是极为重要的。
  b$ u1 p4 g: ~3 |0 T  v! X  T5 O! Z" p5 R
以奥华学校为例,用汉语拼音学习汉字是该校采用的基本模式。大部份双语学生用电脑写作时选择汉语拼音输入。因为速度快。也有极个别的学生用部首或注音输入。只要学生按时交作业,按时交卷,使用哪种输入方法都可以。教师不对任何方法加以限制或歧视。:):P:):P
