讀國際學校既父母------是否必需用英語同學校溝通?????

pollybell

現在小兒讀N1,粵語/英語上課,現在我同老師溝通係用粵語,但下年開始如希望一直升讀國際小學,就需要開始轉全英語班,預備考國際小學做準備,問題就出現,我係全職媽咪,老師有問題一定要聯絡我,但我英文程度真係唔可以與外藉老師溝通,但爸爸就完全無問題,但爸爸有時需要外地公幹,這點如果解決,請賜教?????

Pollybell,
請問你的小朋友讀緊邊問幼稚園?希望入邊問升讀國際小學？通常老師會用email, 手冊或有時緊急事件會打電話家長。你唔駛太擔心溝通問題。同埋國際學校裡有其他老師識講普通話或廣東話。

謝謝你回覆,我個仔讀THINK INTERNATION SCHOOL.學校都有兩文三語,但如果讀全英語,班主任都係外藉老師.
但問題都唔係咩小學,問題就算俾我入倒,我點同學校溝通先最大問題.
cuteb :你講晒我心中所擔心既問題,但你叫我train up自己,對於我黎講真係好困難,自從仔仔出世開始,我已經睇英文台,又一齊同佢睇Disney既教材,但此終都係資質有限,應該點????

pollybell,

keep住做你而家做嘅嘢, 或者揾外藉老師教, 一星期幾次, 每次1.5-2hrs, long-term一定會改善, 大陸書城有套中英對照DVD, 美國電視劇, 曰曰, 又唔駛查字典, 應該會學好多生字, 唔係disney小朋友英文, 可 ...

Pollybell,
我想知你小朋友讀邊間幼稚園是因為若果同我小朋友同一間幼稚園我可以幫你睇手冊、覆Email同埋接老師電話。可惜不是同學校。我好明白你感受，以下有些方法希望幫到你。
1) 開學時問同學仔媽媽交換電話，最好揾到住同一個屋苑嗰D。講俾佢聽你的問題，問佢可唔可以幫你睇手冊。同埋叫佢哋可唔可以收到任何學校消息通知你。我估極大部份媽媽都會幫你。
2) 通常老師寄出Email一定唔會急事，所以叫老公覆email。
3) 如果老師有急事打電話俾你，你叫佢打俾其他媽媽，然後再通知你。你當然事先通知老師同埋"好心媽媽"。
4) 你可以請個讀到中學嘅菲庸又係香港做過野識講中文嘅。菲庸幫你覆email，睇手冊，聯絡老師。
希望幫到你啦!
我識有D媽媽係日本人同埋韓国人佢地一樣有你問題。放心啦！一定有人幫你嘅!

How poor can your English be? My child in primary school has Japanese and Korean classmates, whose mom can hardly speak English. So far, all communications are mainly by emails or newsletter. And there are only around 3 - 4 times a year that you are ask to go to school to speak with the teacher personally face to face.

If your English is not good, it is true that you are going to have problems with mingling with other parents. There are functions and getherings that you can probably not take part in actively. Like helping out in class outings, helping out at the PTA, etc. Just ask yourself whether you would fee bad about that.

To train up yourself, just watch more English channel. Lots of dramas, like CSI, Ugly Betty are enjoyable.

Pilotkid :謝謝你回覆,我諗我最大問題係如果老師直接打電話俾我,同我講有關仔仔學校既情況,或者問題,我真係唔識答佢......如果睇通告,手冊都還可以,寫都免強.

其實你個辦法幾好,可惜我湊仔仔放學,見親都係工人姐姐,或者公公婆婆,真係無乜媽咪,想識都難,加上我跨區返學,難上加難,我諗搵你幫手,重容易得多....講笑...你好鬼好人,可惜大家唔同學校,可否日後有關升國際小學,有問題時PM再請教下你,真係好多野唔明,無從入手.


cuteb : 謝謝你資料,有問題一定會再PM請教你,如果你可以得閒講電話就最好,我日後一定有大堆問題請教你.

almon :謝謝你回覆,我英文有幾差????睇你這篇回覆可知一,二,大致上明白八九成,但你叫我講一定唔可以,有些字如PTA,CSI...唔識.咩意思?????

Not exactly too bad then.
PTA is the 家教會
CSI is a very popular drama series http://www.cbs.com/primetime/csi/

Good luck

if you think CSI is too bloody, try criminal mind or the mentalist.

hi pollybell,

i personally don't think you need to worry too much. there'll be 2-3 PTA a year. you can ask your husband to attend the PTA. whether you can mingle with other western parents depend on your character as well. i have seen some japanese mothers can mingle well with other western mothers too, even though the japanese mothers are not the fluent English speakers. and i guess  most teachers understand that we are local parents, can't speak perfect English.

don't worry too much and give yourself too much pressure. i think you are such a good mother willing to learn English for your kid.
