在国际化学校中文不重要？很重要！| BMH Chinese Liberal Arts

优秀的语言能力离不开扎实的语文素养，特别是母语素养。联合国教科文组织也曾强调，作为21世纪人才的基本素养，“第一是母语能力，第二是外语能力，第三是信息能力”。研究表明，“母语教育是提供优质教育和实现基本教育需要的先决条件”；“当第一语言有坚实基础时，第二语言的良好说写技巧就更容易形成“（E.Miler）。

在博观，由学科教学走向学科教育是我们进行学生培养的终极目标。作为学校近九成的家庭及学生在社会生活、求学及工作中所使用的第一语言，面对传统国际化学校中存在的对中文母语教学重视不足的行业现状，自建校以来，如何在国际化学校中开展行之有效的中文教育教学是博观中文教研改革的重点。

相较于传统的国际化学校概念中的汉语学习，立足中文教育教学的广阔视野，博观中文教育团队吸纳了众多有着丰富的国际化学习及教学经验的双语中文教师，经过多年的建设发展已经以形成了一套清晰的、坚实可靠的教学方案。其中，以语文、道法、历史、地理等以中国国家课程标准为纲领，以中文母语学习为核心、兼顾以中文为第二语言的学习需求，辅以中文为学习媒介的多学科教育教学的沉浸式中文学习项目更是成为了我校中文教育的新名片。

此外，各课程教师始终致力于促进学生综合素养的形成，充分利用学校各项资源，有机结合学校育人目标，落实学生中文学科培养核心要求，以学科教学为主要阵地，以中国国家课程教材作为主要的基础达标教学资源“1”，以“全语文”作为教育教学延伸的“X”，聚焦学生学习兴趣、学习习惯、学习方式和学习内容等领域，兼顾双语学习支持需求，借助常态教学，中文选修课程（CCA及社团）、学科竞赛、中文周等各类中文学习活动，逐步发展学生以中文为目的的语言实践及应用能力，提升学生学习兴趣、思维品质及其他综合素养，从而致力于实现培养以BMH美德和价值观等为鲜明特色，符合社会、国家及时代发展所期待的优秀公民。

在博观，我们深切地意识到孩子的每一次成长都凝聚了家长和老师们共同的期望，而和谐的家校沟通更是构筑孩子成长最有力的支持之一。因此，我们殷切地期待能够与每一个家庭建立更多的联系，共同探讨孩子的成长与发展。为了满足所有关心孩子教育需求的人士，在今年的4月到6月，博观中文教学团队也将组织4场家校联谊咖啡晨会，聚焦家校共育，我们将围绕家长们感兴趣的学生课堂观摩、家庭育儿、政策法规解读、中文实用学习策略、中学人文学科建设等话题，开展专题的家长工作坊，共建中西育人互通桥梁。

第一场文科组的咖啡晨会已经于4月7日圆满结束，家长们真实地参与到学生的课堂之中，在学校后花园了解每一株植物的中文名称，体味文言文的趣味，感受汉字的美妙。

我校督学张春晖教授还为参与的家长们开展了一场关于“家庭教育”的讲座。张教授从《家庭教育促进法》延展开来，分享她多年来她作为一名教育者、一名家长对家庭教育的思考。讲座现场家长们也纷纷表达自己的观点与想法，与张教授积极沟通如何进行更好的家庭教育。

我们更加诚挚地邀请对教育有想法、有思考的您能够成为家长工作坊的演讲嘉宾，与我们展开面对面的交流，和我们一起共建学习型社区，共筑孩子发展之路。

UNESCO has stressed that the basic qualities that are essential for human beings in the 21st century are " first, the ability to speak the mother tongue, second, the ability to speak a foreign language and third, the ability to communicate".

And as E. Miler says "Good speaking and writing skills in a second language are more easily developed when there is a solid foundation in the first language".

As Chinese is the first language spoken by nearly 90% of our students and families in their social, academic and professional lives, the BMH Chinese team has always focused on how to provide effective Chinese language education in our schools.

The BMH subjects of Chinese, Morality, History and Geography are based on the Chinese National Curriculum standards.The team of bilingual Chinese teachers with extensive international learning and teaching experience has developed a clear, solid and reliable teaching programme over the years.

The Chinese National Curriculum textbooks are used as the main teaching resources, focusing on areas such as students" learning interests, learning habits, learning methods and learning content, taking into account the need for bilingual learning support.

Through regular teaching, Chinese CCA and club, competitions, Chinese Immersion Week and other Chinese learning activities, students will gradually develop their language skills, and enhance their interest in learning and comprehensive skills.

We are keenly aware that every child"s growth is a joint effort between parents and teachers, and that harmonious home-school communication is one of the most powerful supports. Therefore, we are eager to establish more contact with each family to discuss the growth and development of their children.

From April to June this year, the Liberal Arts team will organise four coffee mornings focusing on home-school co-education. We will conduct thematic parent workshops on topics such as student lesson tour, family parenting, policy, Chinese learning strategy.

The first Coffee Morning for the Liberal Arts team was successfully held on 7 April. Parents were able to participate in the students" lessons in a real way, learning the Chinese names of each plant in the rear garden of the school, experiencing the fun of the literature and Chinese characters.

Our Deputy Headmaster, Professor Zhang Chunhui, also gave a talk on "Family Education" to the participating parents. Professor Zhang shared her thoughts on family education as an educator and parent over the years. Parents also expressed their own views and ideas on how to better educate their families with Professor Zhang.

We would like to invite you to be a guest speaker at our parent workshops, to meet with us face to face, to build a learning community and to build your child"s development.

The next coffee morning will be held on 21 April for Year 3 and 4 families, and parents are welcome to come and experience it.
