听写也疯狂

作者:李卖蚬

老李自认所谓的错误,是他当初以为学生们都能掌握双语??!!

哇噻!这样你还能怪他吗?那可是个有理想的错误呀!简直就像是个Honest Mistake了。不是吗? 但。。是吗?那是造成今天学生讨厌中文,中文水准低落的主要原因吗?

我认为他的错误是把新加坡的中文母语生态环境严重的破坏了。而且那是只凭他个人的经验与取向,这才是疯狂的。。但是,这错误他会承认吗?

老李很认真似的说,“我的结论是没有任何一个人能以同样的程度来掌握好两种语文。如果你认为自己可以,那是在自欺欺人。。”

谁在自欺欺人呢? 政策上几时有企图做到“同样程度”呢? 所谓的掌握双语,实质上是转变为以英语为主,华文为副;就好比所谓的“讲华语运动”,实质上却是打压方言,简直是把本地华人的DNA也被engineered掉了!

结果是今天60%以上的华人小学生家庭以英语当母语(70年代时只有少过5%的华人家庭以英语当母语)。而随着对华文教学一再妥协的恶性循环,那百分比只有上升的趋势(新公民不算)。This is truely madness!!

听写疯狂吗,老李为何不提一提神经心理学上对书写与记忆和学习之间的关系的研究呢?

其实,如果方向与态度正确,书写可以是引发学生对华文的兴趣的来源之一。我建议学校不要听信老李对于听写、默写也疯狂的见解,而反其道以创意的方式鼓励学生多写,比如,办一个华文涂鸦墙壁,让学生随兴在上面用华文书写;带低年级小学生到沙滩上用树枝来写字。。等等的活动。

【雷风雨】评论:

李光耀大概不知道即使是现在,许多小学,尤其是小一至小四低年班,教英文都免不了SPELLING 和 DICTATION。看来不只华文教师疯狂,英文老师也疯狂。李何以单挑华文老师来说事呢?在新加坡,华文就是负有原罪。

李光耀早年发动的“文化革命”致使多少人在精神心理上受到戕害,这些往事至今都没人敢从地毯下扫出来。不道歉也就罢了,岂料他老人家一边承认错误,一边却振振有词,继续弹他那“都怪死记硬背教学法”的老调,都听了几十年了,虽然是大选年的招牌炒饭,好歹下点新鲜的料。

    I will never agree that curbing dialects is the way to promote mandarin. For a guy to think of it this way is truly madness in the making. Hitler madness.

  • cy:

    even SAP schools students are now speaking english. during my school days, chinese was still widely spoken.

    i am lucky to escape the dumbing down of chinese standards before it went “crazy”. if not, i wouldn’t have been able to read this article today.

  • fpc:

    As if this is the biggest mistake?

    There are people he jailed for no reasons for 20 years and he never apologise (yet).

    What a joke!

  • KK:

    Now teachers are allowed to use English to teach Chinese.
    Very soon students will be allowed to use English to answer questions in Exam for Chinese.

    The logic? To prove that they “understand” the passge in chinese, they could answer in English. So the Chinese teacher must understand their answers in English. If not, they would complained that the teacher is wrong.

    Things are getting more interesting.

  • 老李飞刀:

    李光耀统治新加坡,不知不觉已有五十年.看他最近还在拼老命的样子,也许他还可以顶多几年.

    五十年来,他在消灭华文教育方面的成就,有目共睹.但他新引进的几十万大陆人,会不会倒过来让华文教育得以重生?

    也许只有在他走了之后,我们才会有答案. 希望到时候他不会从坟墓跳出来.

  • common sense:

    Singapore young generations will answer Chinese exams questions in the following manner:

    1. Good Good Study Day Day Up
    好好学习,天天向上

    2. I call you come you no come, I no call you come you come.
    我叫你来你不来,我没叫你来你却来

    3. Moon up the tree, people confirm after evening
    月上柳梢头,人约黄昏后

    Good luck Singapore.

  • common sense:

    1. Old see you
    老见到你

    2. How old are you
    怎么老见到你

    3. Couple lung slice
    夫妻肺片

    4. Sping night one cut $1000
    春宵一刻值千金

    新国的如今的不中不西不印不马的怪语言,难听加不知所云,词不达意。比邯郸学步更可怜,而成‘新国滥语’。李光耀祸害一代新加坡人。

  • rainbow:

    What if he makes another mistake again now?
    Wahlau, sipe cham!!

    Actutal, spelling, writing and listening is a good way to learn any languages. I really don’t know what he is talking about.

    对华文教改的一些疑问

    社论

    2009年11月23日

      教育部长黄永宏前天对未来的华文教学宣示了重大政策方向,即让华文教师用英语在课堂上讲解以及把电脑科技应用到教学上。教长提出了所谓的三个R: 实事求是(realistic)、切题(relevant)以及负责(responsible),为这个教学方法的转向作出阐释。

      这项宣布并不完全让人感到意外,因为几年前,政府已有这样的思考,事实上,几年前便有学校试验性地实施类似的双语教华文的方法。

      教育部的数据显示,华族小一学生的家庭用语为英语的比例已由1982年的10%增加到今年(2009年)的60%。尽管内阁资政李光耀曾经多次呼吁华族家庭用华语跟下一代交谈,为孩子的华文学习从小创造有利条件,但事实显示,华族家庭用语转向英语已是不可扭转的趋势,而教学用语的转移是顺应时局,无可回避,教育部正式宣布为政策,却又可能加速这种趋势。华语家庭已非主流,意味着什么?这不只是对教育,对我国社会今后的发展也有长远的影响,我国有朝一日成为单一的英语社会并非不可能的事。

      英语家庭成为主流的今天,华语虽然还不至于变成一种“外语”,但政府要继续说服华族新加坡人相信华语是他们的“母语”也许会越来越困难。今后要鼓励国人学习华文恐怕只剩下一点经济利益的动机,这是政府现在就应该思考的问题。

      用英语教华文固然是因应时势,但其中所引发的一些疑问还有待政府进一步澄清。

      首先,在华文师资上,我们并不担心找不到能够在华文课上用英语讲解的华文教师,因为在我国双语教育制度下产生的教师,英语并不是问题。人们过去对华文教师的疑虑是他们的华文水平,今后华文教师可以名正言顺地讲英语,是否会造成他们的华文水平停滞不前?

      其次,那些来自华语家庭的学生有条件和能力学习更高水平的华文,尽管黄永宏重申这类学生的潜能会得到充分发挥的机会,但处于“非主流”的社会地位,他们的兴趣和士气是否会在进入学校之后得以持续?政府要如何继续鼓励这类有华文潜能的学生把握机会,而不致埋没他们的天分?有鉴于此,从外地引入高水平华文教师的作法还是应该继续,他们可以跟我国教育制度培养出来的华文教师扮演互补的角色。

      2004年,在李资政的主导下,华文教学确定了“因材施教”的原则,过后教育部也实行了“单元教学”的方案,现在黄永宏部长又宣布成立“特别工作小组”,对华文教学作出重大改变,难免给人一种改革太过频繁的印象。人们也难免要问,过去几年才开始的“因材施教”方案是否又要被推翻?华文教师和家长现在若感到难以适从是可以理解的。

    几天前才正式开幕的新加坡华文教研中心,其宗旨之一是要提高华文教师的素质水平,教育部所要成立的“特别工作小组”要如何跟这个中心的工作协调?

      此外,所将推行的重大华文教改是否会对培养双文化精英的既定政策造成冲击?特选学校今后如何确保它们继续存在的价值?

      至于用电脑科技教学,本是学校里的普遍做法。华文科今后要进一步在电脑科技教学上注入趣味和创意的元素,只要学校的态度更开放,相信这方面是不乏题材可以发挥。华文的创意教学,让趣味性和历史及人文知识互相结合,可补华文课内容不足之处。

      话说回来,我国的华文教学改革是否已经到了过分强调“乐趣”的地步,而忽略了任何学科都必须有“苦”的成分,从英文、数学、科学、音乐、美术,学生若没有下点苦功(除非学生本身具有天分),他们所能达到的水平也只是“蜻蜓点水”、“浅尝即止”,如果这是未来学生的华文普遍水平和能力,则要每年培养足够的双文化精英的目标将是遥不可及。

      与此同时,我们也不应该放弃鼓励华族家庭用华语沟通的努力,一个有利的家庭和社会语言环境才是提高学生学习华文兴趣和动机的关键。华文要成为一种“有趣”的语言就必须是一种“活”的语言,否则我国学生学华文跟学日文、法文、德文又有何区别?

  • 老李罪人:

    若非一翻寒刺骨,那得梅花撲鼻香!

    用英语,趣味和创意教学法就能掌握好中文吗?是天真的老傢伙? 不,這是有他政治上的意圖的.
