Ministry of Education: We will continue to improve mother tongue teaching materials children need support from parents in learning Chinese

The Ministry of Education (MOE) said that "there is no best language but better" in the development of mother tongue teaching materials. The authorities will continue to improve the teaching materials, but in an environment where English is the main language of communication, the support of parents and the community is needed to ensure that children can learn The Chinese language well, especially learn pinyin.

 

In a recent letter to Lianhe Zaobao, parents complained that the Chinese language teaching materials lacked new ideas and failed to arouse students' interest. As a result, heated discussions on Chinese language education were triggered and many readers submitted their opinions to our exchange site.

 

Responding to the news, Wang Meifeng, director of the Ministry of Education's Curriculum Planning and Development Department (Mother Tongue Section), said that the ministry could see from the articles that people are eager to improve the standard of mother tongue. With the changes of The Times, the family language and socio-linguistic ecology of Singaporean students have undergone profound changes, and the teaching and learning of Chinese language are facing certain challenges.

 

How to adapt to the changing times and enable children to learn Chinese well in an environment where English is the main language of communication requires the joint efforts of not only the Ministry of Education and school teachers, but also parents and all sectors of the community.

 

The contents of teaching materials are also related to humanities and natural sciences

"Those who follow the development of mother tongue teaching materials will find that mother tongue courses have kept pace with The Times and that mother tongue teaching materials have been developed around the concept of 'learning and using'," she said. We are very concerned about 'who is learning' and have developed a differentiated curriculum structure to meet the needs of different students. We also pay attention to 'what to learn'. For example, we have added new sections such as' Listening and speaking Theater 'and' life application 'in textbooks, and introduced life corpus to improve students' language communication skills."

 

Wang Meifeng said: "The development of teaching materials' there is no best, only better ', we continue to optimize the teaching materials, with teachers to deepen teaching, in the implementation of the 'happy learning and good use' road innovation, strive to move forward. The ecology of Chinese language learning needs the protection of the whole community. We are looking forward to working with people who love and care about the Chinese language to make the learning of the Chinese language more active.
