To Australia shortly after, I had the opportunity to visit South Australia and Western Australia has been part of Chinese schools.
As a engaged in teaching Chinese as a foreign language teacher for more than 20 years, the current students and overseas Chinese in their children’s education in Chinese were thinking of is how to do a good job and Australia, Chinese students studying Chinese language education of their children a little present their case.

First, interest in learning and motivation of the children learn the Chinese language is a prerequisite for

In Western Australia and I talk to the students, deeply felt, almost all of the students and overseas Chinese all want children to learn Chinese, they wanted their children in the age of four or five years on Chinese schools in the hope their children Be able to inherit the fine traditions of Chinese culture. As a result, their children and schools have high hopes about the Chinese language proficiency of children in a short period of time greater progress. Their feelings are understandable, but a new know-how, after all, through their own children in order to truly embody, the parents can not replace. As a result, how to raise children’s interest in learning Chinese, children learn how to mobilize the Chinese initiative and enthusiasm, this is the students and overseas Chinese to do first of all, this is the children learn the Chinese language on the premise.
The children of students in English, the exchange has not encountered any difficulties and obstacles, it is difficult to comprehend the need to learn the Chinese language, it is hard to understand parents asking them to learn the Chinese care and thought. Therefore, parents should want their children in accordance with the intention to do so. First of all, it is necessary to foster parents from the child’s interest in learning and motivation to start, usually it is necessary to give children the Chinese language to talk about the knowledge of the local Chinese people, China has a long history, and seize every Chinese child-related activities to participate in the So that children look at the Chinese animation and so on, uncles and to get them interested in Chinese language and Chinese. So the children will be able to take the initiative to become a passive act, At the same time, parents should also help keep children excluded from the process of learning difficulties and emotional fear of difficulty.

Second, select the appropriate teaching materials and teaching methods is to do a good job of teaching the basic guarantee for Chinese

In the pre-school children of the Enlightenment in Chinese education, the best use of Chinese characters and Pinyin, a professor at the same time the ways in which students in the initial stage of the Chinese to have a correct concept of integrity - is the Chinese characters written in the form of expression, Chinese Pinyin is to help understand the character of a complementary approach.Chinese characters in the teaching of teachers must pay attention to science, Chinese characters by up to a small, easy to difficult, from less frequently used to. Five or six-year-old child is still in the stage of early childhood education, they should be allowed to learn the Chinese language in the entertainment and cultural knowledge, the teachers even have to rack their brains to find ways to textbooks in the school to change the content of songs, paintings, hand - , Games such as teaching, so that children can be an entertainment environment easy to learn and master the knowledge of Chinese.

Some Chinese textbooks for each class of teaching time for students (only 1 per week, the first 3 hours) too much, then the teachers in the use of the materials may not be for every lesson, students can take into account the specific , To learn a new lesson, a review of the old course to enable students to have a process of digestion and absorption.

Third, the selection and training of qualified teachers, pay attention to teacher training is the key to doing a good job of teaching the Chinese language

At present, overseas Chinese schools is the need for teacher training in teaching, classroom teachers at present are basically hired from the local, and they come from different places have different experiences, and some more experienced teachers, the lack of any more. Some of its better conditions (defined as the ability of Putonghua), and some not so satisfactory. In the face of the arduous task of teaching, in the face of my parents very much look forward to, in the face of the introduction of new teaching materials, teachers and enthusiasm alone in the past that the point is the savings fall far short of the needs of teaching, there was an urgent need for these teachers Standardize the teaching of Chinese as well as the knowledge and cultural knowledge training.

Under the present circumstances, we can consider the skills of teachers between each other, each other’s needs, or good teachers teaching classes in public, points to areas of ways to improve the general level of teachers.

Fourth, to create a good environment for learning the Chinese language, Chinese language study is to deepen an important condition for

It is understood that the students studying in Australia and overseas Chinese are the majority of children use the weekend to Chinese school to learn Chinese, and almost all Chinese schools, teaching almost all the time scheduled for the weekend once a 2,3 hours. From the point of view of time is indeed less, because although the children are learning in their mother tongue, but are second language learners.
As a result, the school’s point of view, really should make full use of the limited time teaching, effective teaching methods, as far as possible to the children more knowledge to enable students to progress at a faster pace. But from the perspective of parents, are also charged with the same task, as in the best foreign language environment is for each family. If the family to create a Chinese-speaking, the Chinese language environment, and on a regular basis, the child’s progress on the nature of the self-evident. The reason is very simple to learn things at school, must have a chance to practice, and the home is the best, but also the only Chinese practice.
This shows that live abroad are a wanderer overseas, we want to be a very good grasp of the next generation to inherit the Chinese nation and Chinese traditional culture, the Chinese rely on the weekend of education in schools is not enough. If every family with school, the family created that the Chinese talk about traditional Chinese culture and atmosphere, and that the children will unknowingly be progress and improving.

Five, so that the children could “take a look at Chang Huijia” is an important opportunity to learn Chinese

Almost every major cities in Australia have a Chinatown. Take this street, just like walking in Beijing’s Wangfujing street, where you can buy any Chinese food, eating authentic Chinese meal, and the acquaintance did not know that the Chinese people. But you can not live in every moment of this street, Australia, you might see in the visible or customs of Australia, anywhere, or hear English.

The children are now learning the Chinese language textbooks, their cultural background and large are against the backdrop of China’s national conditions. And let the children only from the textbooks on understanding China’s customs is a very abstract, but also far enough. Children in learning the Chinese language, if we can create opportunities for children to “take a look at Changhui Jia”, to experience first-hand experience of contemporary Chinese people’s customs, in particular, be able to see their books in the school over China’s scenic spots and historical sites, and personally experience the The teacher said that the Chinese customs, and so on, it will greatly enhance the children’s interest in learning, their learning will play a considerable role in the promotion.
