英語教材的禍害?

llb

本人一直深信學習兩文三語之重要，固特別著重小兒的語文教育。打從小兒三個月開始便讓他聽迪士尼英美語世界，又買大量英文書給他看，發展一直令人滿意：到七、八個月時他已經懂得認英文字，一歲四個月已經認得晒A-Z，而且見到英文字就很興奮，未到兩歲已經識讀超過500個英文字，而且發音十分標準，亦可以讀英文句子。然而，小兒學習中文的進度卻不理想，我見他九個月時已經開始接受英語，便自此對他說廣東話，但由於我日間要上班，坊間亦找不到優質中文教材作配合，白天照顧他的祖父母又說家鄉話，所以直到現在剛滿兩歲，他的第一語言仍然以英文為主，只是叫他說的廣東話，他就跟著說。亦由於我現在重點說廣東話，他的英文亦好像停滯不前，現在十分害怕他兩種語言都不能學好，我當初認為嬰兒有能力同一時間學習多過一種的語言，但事實並非如此。今年九月會送他到廣東話全日幼兒班，因擔心他應付不了年尾的K1 interviews。

各位有經驗的家長，請問你們子女有否該情況，入讀哪類型的幼稚園？特別是自小讓嬰兒接觸英語教材的父母，可否分享經驗？

搵間2文3語KG...小朋友好快pick up, 平日在家, 家人最好有3種語言會好D.

如: 工人- 英文, 家長-廣東話/國語

我囡細細個都唔肯講中文, K1 幼稚園有教中文,但佢唔想學又唔肯講.. 後尾佢見個個同學仔都識, 慢慢就肯講...
佢K2 都係講英文多過中文, 唔緊要嘅... 打好英文底日後會易D上手,  香港 以廣東話為主, 一上小學好快就會講好流利嘅廣東話, 英文底好, 對普通話 拼音都有幫助..

佢地唔係唔識, 只係唔願意講, 有時仲會唔願聽架... 你用廣東話問佢, 佢完全聽唔到無反應... 你轉channel 講英文佢即刻答你~~ "家長初初會好驚架, 點解會咁嘅??"

D細路 咪係俾我地D大人寵壞咗, 樣樣都要人就.... 語言都係...

K1 interview 可以用英文的.

no need to worry. Some kids like to Chinese, other like English. It is normal.

What is important is you need to provide a more balanced environment for him. You can buy interesting Chinese story book and Canonese/Mandarin music CD. Fix a time at home that you will read him only Chinese. It works for my son. Now he will not say "I don't want Chinese" and will not put aside the Chinese books.

Berenstain,

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I tried to do what you did to your son: buy him more Chinese books and play Cantonese CD/DVD. But he's not very interested in the Chinese words and just look at the pictures! And since I dont' want the Taiwan books with pin-yin next to the Chinese character, I find there is a very limited choice of the Chinese books. I mainly buy him those published by 新雅文化. Do you have any recommendations?

mmak,

多謝你的鼓勵。我仔仔除了不喜歡中文，佢亦不喜歡同其他小朋友相處，所以我才驚覺其嚴重程度。

我想同佢報一ｄ活動教學、著重啟發學習興趣的學校，如啟思、創價等幼稚園，請問可以用英文interview嗎?

You may try to look for publishers like 小樹苗, 晶晶, 風車. Most of them available in Library.

My kid likes to read their stories cos funny and easy to understand.
