作者: minicooper0808    時間: 16-11-5 23:20

其實女兒近呢一年先開始講野!仲係一個bb.
有私校收佢係因為第一間,我係教職員,第二間,新校。
好大機會會收的另一間私校,係因為過往,都收番8-9成佢地幼稚園的學生。
而另一間國際學校,我2年前買了公司債券,會有優先權

全部都同阿女的能力冇關係的。

因此,若某學校有權話事及高層管理者若非本身是native English speakers及自幼接受西方現代教育模式長大,他們所辦及管理的學校,無論是採用那個學制,也無法辦出一間真正的國際學校,而那些學生的平均英文水平也無法可跟真正國際學校學生相比。


So, you are saying a student that has a 7 in English A in say ISF or VSA, has poorer English than a student who has a 7 in English A at CDNIS? Well, I respect your views. You have your rights to believe in things you prefer to believe in. But for university application purposes, top universities do not see things the way you prefer.

If you are talking about IS vs LS, then it has nothing to do with the the spent on learning English. Rather, the main difference is with design of the curriculum.
Local school is using the local English curriculum which was designed to be at second language level.
So even if you have learnt English from P1 to F6, you have always been learning English as a second language.
Even at local elite schools, they are also following the local curriculum and thus their top students who get 5** in DSE English are only considered to have English at second language level.
On the other hand, students in international schools (most if not all), students will be learning English as a first language. Students that eventually sit for IB English A exams are all considered to have English as first language.
Universities do not judge you with your ethnicity. They look at what exam you write.

It is because the curriculum is different.
IB, GCE, AP, have English as first language curriculum.
DSE has English as second language curriculum.
So even if you spend the same number of years learning English, you will not achieve first language English in a local school.

語言是同生活語境有關,家庭語境及生活環境的因素很重要,所以學語言是immersion的。人腦所接受的資訊潛意識是有主有次,如果playground language朋友仔都用中文,那英文就变成2nd Language了。所以student mix是其中一個重要因素,還有本身教學的老師是否native? 老師除了傳授的學術知識,自身的文化對學生也是有影響的。
又例如,本地家長都看本地電視,而美國長大的家長都看美國電視,那孩子的英文水平就有分别了,達出來的文化也有差異。

我的意見,用比較師奶的講法:俾小朋友讀國際學校,即係養鬼仔。希望大家明我意思。

課程設計/Student mix/老師背景/辦學人士背景/管理層態度,呢D全部都係因素。好難話咩野因素佔幾多個%,總之炒埋一碟,讀國際學校一定係養鬼仔,問題係作為父母/校方,你入返幾多中國傳統的養份俾小朋友,呢點就人人唔同,學校取向亦有別。

I believe she refers to Private Independent Schools (PIS) vs International Schools.  I never knew the difference but I have browsed the info in the Edu Bureau's website and found that both categories are part of the private school sector.  There are only 7 PISs (  CKY, DC, ICS, ISF, RC, VSA, Yew chung Secondary) but there are 51 IS.  Yew Chung Primary is an IS but its Secondary School is a PIS.  According to Edu Bureau's definition, a PIS is required to take in at least 70% students who are permanent residents of HK.

"PISs are required to ensure that at least 70% of the student population are Hong Kong Permanent Residents."


So under this definition, people that have obtained a permanent resident id card do qualify? Then this is easy. I know a lot of gweilo have lived here long enough and have got permanent resident id card.

因此DC有許多外國學生而仍能滿足教育局的要求,而有些新興IS 收許多香港人也無問題,因為均持海外護照;每間學校都有不同student mix, 就算under the same category, e.g. PIS 或 IS, 所以去學校參觀/school tour好重要。

True. So whether a school provides an international education depends on a lot of factors, like many parents above have pointed out.  PIS is a type of school which has received land grant at a nominal premium plus a one-off capital grant for construction of school premises. ICS is a PIS under this definition although I view it is an international school. Many non-locals can have HKID. Likewise,  locals can have foreign passports.

So PIS vs IS is the wrong question to ask as they have so much in common in some cases and yet so different in others.

Parents should review both the list of IS and PIS, short list them based on other more important criteria and use PIS/IS as one attribute.

Heard from other parents it is quite common for students from other countries to take English B and then self study their own language.

You can have your own definition of "proper IS".

yes it is my definition of Proper IS whether it is IS by EDB definition.  why would i want to argue with people on my definition of Proper IS?

I have nothing against PIS. my daughter studied in one and almost got into another one.  

To the contrary, I said time and time again PIS and DSS are the best thing in HK education. why would i dislike them. I know very smart and bright students in DGS, SPCC.

I have suggested in this thread to mix PIS and IS together when shortlisting school by the parents.   Does that sound disliking PIS to you?

also I never claim how much I know about IS. I quoted my "Proper" IS.

My choice of words like "I would be skeptical" was far from being aggressive.

If I were a parent of the German stream in GSIS, I would take German A and English B. How can a German have second language German level when he may need to go back to Europe to work in future? It's not necessary for the kid to take both German and English A either. I'd rather let him take more HL subjects related to his university subject. Similarly, if my kid were to work in Hk in future, I don't think it's necessary to take both Chinese and English A. Why does he need so much learning of literature if he wants to study medicine/science/engineering? He should take more HL science subjects instead.

What if the school does not have Chi A?

What if the kids study IS at Eng A level from Kindy?

What if the Asian kid was adopted by white parents?

Just looking at the surname and the color of the skin to determine if Chi B is 走精面 does not make sense.

If I were a parent of the German stream in GSIS, I would take German A and English B. How can a Germ ...

Of course the German stream's first language is German, therefore they do not have to have Eng A.

DSE students taking DSE Chinese at Native level and none of them are expected to achieve native level English.  Although some of the smart kids can achieve both Eng and Chi at native/near-native levels in DSE.

I was saying International stream students whose first language is supposed to be English and they take Eng B should be "rare" cases.  If an IS international stream has a lot of Eng B students, I would be skeptical.

I don't really know what Nintendo was upset about.

Was the student from a IS?I just can't figure out how the student is to blame if the school does not have Chi A at all.

IB looks troublesome from this perspective. If the IS kid takes the national exam of an overseas country, be it GCE AL, AP, Canada/Alberta, Australian etc, the kid will not be expected to have a high level of Chinese.

副校主動講呢樣野?
係,係個power point 入面。

因為我買了債卷的國際學校,要明年2,3月才面試。而又唔係100%收佢。
其他學校,最遲12月面試,如果收,2,3月前就要交留位費。
所以好難選擇比阿女讀咩學校。我們打算等她中學時,比佢去外國讀書。

有外國護照嗎?打算將來在外國工作,不回港?不懂中文在香港較難找工作。

有jm已講,就是收生比例。真正國際學校要70%學生攞外國護照。相反,其餘的私校就要收本地生多於持外國護照。

其實我覺得IS同PIS兩者不太大,分別只在於收生比例(有護照vs本地生)。
家有一個讀IS,一個讀PIS,除了讀不同學制外,其他各樣都差不多。全校上上下下都係 native speaker(除了校工姨姨,保安員及部份校務處職員),全英語環境,中文老師來自台灣或內地。英文程度一定比本地深好多。中文就一般,照樣要默書,默下拼音等,唯獨是不用做本地的閱讀理解。

如果家長只講廣東話,幾歲小孩兩下就跟住講,唔會堅持的。
至於中文,你要考慮清楚。除非真係唔返亞洲,否則自斷中文係好可惜。

睇完你對女女的形容,有些PIS根本不用考慮,ISF、CKY和VSA考小一的競爭極大,如你本身是教職員,更明白這三間學校校內"中文科"有好高要求,女女入到去也恐怕好辛苦。

RC & DC與其他ESF小學一樣,都是行IBPYP,中文科分 3 PATHWAYS、有CHINESE FOR NATIVE 及CHINESE FOR FOREIGNER兩類,教學內容、用書均不同,適合不同中文程度的學生。

有不少新興國際學校均加強了中文課程,眾用家可深入介紹; 有些傳統國際學校則繼續其傳統,只提供程度較淺的中文科,如GSIS就是。

十分認同!
科技時代變遷 互聯網的普及資訊爆發,知識及資訊瞬間可獲得。 而大部分的新知識及現代科技的交流都用英語,英語變成世界語言,學習英語变成essensial, 並非專業 擁有。而母語非英語的國家, 具有雙母語能力的新一代會更具競爭力。第一種母語是自已民族文化的語言,另一種母語是英語。 兩種語言都是因為身處環境而变成通用。 自己民族文化的母語就是 在自己民族服文化内交流, 英語就是要與全世界交流,因為互聯網科技與世界交流變得十分直接。 用自己母語在自己民族文化内交流就更不用說了。

The actual issue is not the Group 2 language. The issue is which 3 HLs a student take.
There is no HL for ab initio so taking ab initio for Group 2 means he has to take another HL of another Group.
The case you mentioned, if the boy has taken Chi B SL instead, he would have taken another HL (may be Math HL since he is a science student, or Group 3 in HL). That would solve the issue.If the school insist that he has to take Chi B HL (as this is determined by the actually ability of the student, some schools are strict), then he should have taken a fourth HL, so that he would have 3 HLs that are relevant to the program he applied.
Note that Chi (whether A or B) in HL is not quite a "relevant" subject for students wanting to study in a western country.

明白,我相信申請UCL的孩子申請前已查清楚大學要求,假設只指定那兩科要HL, 那第三個HL選什麼就要考慮,該孩子學校無提供 Chi B SL, 如另一科選HL, 中文要修Chi A SL, 整體分數可能会低D, 又未必達到大學要求

As Chinese B SL is not available, would it also mean this school has really high chinese standard generally?
I do believe universities in other countries know a lot more about different schools in Hong Kong than we presumed.

係學校要求,話佢地係學校自然有方法令小朋友識用英語溝通。在家一定用自己最熟悉語言(母語)同小朋友溝通。我想情況就似一些混血兒,父講語言A,母講語言V,小朋友自自然然學會2種語言。

因為佢2歲時,語言慢左年幾,我地當時只可以選擇一種語言。佢讀國際幼稚園,全班小朋友同老師也只講英文,工人姐姐也唔識廣東話。

直到3歳後,先肯講小小野。

所以,只要佢肯出聲,已經好好。暫時唔會push佢講第二種語言住。
