Differentiated teaching according to aptitudes
Posted on: May 16, 2010
What is the Prime Minister’s vision for bilingual education in 10 to 20 years? Is he confident of reaching this vision?
- Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong believes the bilingual environment will change in 10 to 20 years
- Everybody may not be reading Chinese books
- But they may be surfing Chinese websites, posting in Chinese on Facebook or sending Chinese Chinese SMS, with the emergence of different types of strange abbreviations
- In this circumstances, PM Lee hopes that Singaporeans have a good mother tongue foundation which will enable them to listen and speak the language clearly, hava a certain level of reading ability, and be able to write simple short messages or postings if necessary
- If there is a business or strike out by himself in China, then he has a good foundation
- We have to reform and improve our teaching materials, the system, if we want to achieve this vision
* Mother tongue is very important! One such like Chinese is also growing increasingly important as China is becoming more and more influential. In order to conduct or invest in China, we must first have a strong grasp of their language ^^
