ESF中文程度

nicolelaiyy

Dear all,
想問吓學生讀ESF的中文程度，他們大多能看懂一份中文報紙嗎? 以及他們能寫一封簡單的中文信件嗎?

Thanks! looking  forward to all your sharings

小兒讀RC，按ESF的中文分組，屬pathway 3，即能力較好的一班，他們Year 6 學生能在課堂上寫250字的中文作文。

每間ESF學校裡屬不同pathway (1, 2, 3) 的學生人數不同，所以還看個別小孩自己的努力。

Depends on students and families individually.  Some can't read properly, some write beautifully.  In general ESF Hong Kong can read newspaper, and write a simple correspondent letter with no problem if parents support and encourage their learning at home persistently.

So many people ask about the chinese level of different international schools.
It is hard to answer generally.
First, I think everyone has his own expectation when it comes to "being able to read chinese newspaper" and "being able to write chinese letters".
Second, there are students with very wide range of abilities. Even if we are only considering home grown ESF students (i.e. those that got into ESF since Year 1).
Even in local schools, there are students that get 5** in Chinese and there are students that get 2 or 1 in Chinese.
I would say, (1) student effort and (2) family support are extremely important

我自二歲起同女兒說大量中文書，和教她認中文生字，她也很有興趣學習，她現在三歲，我不太擔心她不能閱讀中文書本，只擔心日後她不肯練習寫中文生字

ESF would give Chinese homework and reading materials that suit your daughter.  You have a good start, and I would recommend you to think of 'BIG' to support your girl to achieve Chinese level as good as local school students, or even better.  Good luck!

同意！
我個仔讀QBS六年班，他是讀pathway 3 (最高班）中文。校內很多中文人家庭，我們家里說英語（我兒子在校外補中文），但除了我們外，大多pathway 3 的學生家里是說普通話的。他班內的同學要通過中文benchmark test, 中文作文（簡體字）最少能寫二百五十字以上。但他們多能寫五至六百字，聽寫看講沒問題。班內中文成績最好的女孩，整本「西遊記」文言版也看得懂，比香港本地小學的孩子還强！

有否想過讀國際學校的最大原因？如果國際學校極多中文人家庭，會否少了國際文化的互動？

雖然是中文人家庭，但絕大多數是有海外護照或居留權，如以國藉來算，不是中國人。孩子長大後很大機會到海外升學，就算undergrad 在港，postgrad或以後工作也會向外闖。

學生在校可以英語或普通話交談（但英語佔絕大部分），絕不鼓勵只圍着一堆説廣東話。因廣東只是方言，不是正式的語言。 但學校是鼓勵學生在家里說自己的語言和保留自己的文化。

他的同學來自世界各地，各様膚色也有。他們除了慶祝中國人新年，聖誕等。還有印度人的Divali及猶太人的Hanukkah 等。

ESF/QBS allows students to use Mandarin as a language among students?  What is the E in ESF?

When we say foreigners we don't mean passports, we mean ethnicity.

Yes, in fact it's encouraged. As all kids at school are learning PTH at their own pace in different pathways.It is a common language in a way.

E means English. Their teaching medium is English in all subjects except Chinese. All teachers, except in Chinese and other foreign languages in secondary, are native English speakers. Most of them are from the UK.

As IS in HK, ESF has to have a majority of foreigners as students (by passport, NOT ethnic group), as required by the Education Department. Although many foreign passport holders are of Chinese origin (including mixed Chinese).

Most people know these facts. Does the school have a target ideal mixture of playground language?  How do they Maintain that ideal mixture?  What if the playground has 80% PTH?  How do they know the best mixture?
