爱城中英双语学校好消息

无用 · 发表于 2005-5-17 11:07

刚刚了解到，从2005年9月份起，爱城公立教育局对在各中英双语小学就读的幼稚园(幼儿园)的学前儿童提供免费校车服务。这样可以帮助很多家长解决接送孩子的困难。但请注意，校车还是按照原规定的区域接送指定学校的儿童，跨区尚不能免费(应理解为无论收费与否，现在尚无跨区校车服务线路)。

# T, G: p4 G. q& b* N _怎样算跨区？

市公立教育局将全市划分成5个区域，每个区域内都有一所中英双语小学校，各学校都有地图标明界限，以便清楚地向家长解释划区问题。当然教育局也能向你解释，但是直接联系中英双语学校会更方便些。

顺便问一下：victorw, 你能在这里提供地图吗？

楼主说明的是按照原规定的区域接送，然后说跨区尚不能免费，没有说明收费是否就可以跨区？

据我所知，收费也没有跨区服务，因为校车根本没有安排那种路线。要想跨区需要先与学校接洽好接受你的孩子，同时还要自己解决交通问题。

Why should my child learn another language?

Preparing our children for a changing world is one of the main objectives of education in Alberta and a primary concern for parents.

Learning another language can help your child to:

•       improve listening skills
•       increase cognitive abilities, creating a more flexible thinker
•       enhance communication skills in his or her first language
•       develop a deeper understanding of his or her own culture
•       improve overall school performance
•       make learning a third or fourth language much easier.

We are now more closely connected to our global neighbours than ever before. Advances in technology are making it easier to travel and communicate with people all over the world. Increasing immigration is making our local communities more diverse and enriched. In addition, our economic well-being is linked to our ability to succeed in the international marketplace.

Knowing another language can give your child:
•       a lifelong ability to communicate with more people
•       an increased understanding of and respect for people of other cultures
•       broader educational and career opportunities
•       a competitive edge in the job market
•       more opportunities to enjoy literature, art, music, theatre, sports and travel.

Knowing another language can prepare your child to be a part of the new global community.

And language learning is fun!

What effect will learning another language have on my child’s English language skills?

Many parents worry that their children’s English language skills will be affected by learning another language. The truth is that a child’s English will not be harmed by learning another language and may even be improved!

In studies that looked at the effect of learning another language on the English language skills, the results have been positive. Students in second language programs readily transfer the skills they learn in one language to the other. They learn a lot about the English language by looking for similarities and differences between English and the language they are learning.

All Alberta students take the same English language arts program and are expected to achieve the same standards. In early immersion programs, because of the initial focus on learning the second language, students do lag behind peers in the regular program in some English skills. However, they quickly catch up once they have had one or two years of English language arts. By Grade 5 or Grade 6, children in immersion programs do as well as or better than those in the English language program.

Many studies have found that English skills are actually enhanced by learning another language. Immersion and bilingual program students often outperform students in the regular program in some English skill areas.

Want to help improve your child’s English language skills? Suggest learning another language!

At what age should my child begin to learn another language?

There is no magic age to begin learning another language! Languages can be learned at any age or stage of life. Interest and motivation are the key factors.

Most language learning experts agree that it is easier to learn another language at a young age (before adolescence). The earlier children are exposed to another language, the greater their chances of learning to use the language like a native speaker. This is because:
•       language learning appeals to the younger child’s love of repetition and mimicry
•       younger children’s communication needs are less complex than those of older children or adults
•       unlike older children and adults, younger children are risk takers and not afraid of making mistakes
•       a younger child’s vocal structures are more flexible than those of older children or adults—this makes it easier to develop an authentic accent.

As a general rule, the more time your child spends learning another language the more proficient he or she will become.

For a young child, choose a language program or course sequence that begins in the elementary grades and continues throughout the secondary years. Encourage your child to stick with it.

When helping an older child choose a second language program or course sequence, discuss the options available. Talk about how the benefits fit with his or her future goals. Encourage a long-term commitment.

Remember, learning any language is a lifelong pursuit! Just as your child’s first language skills will improve over time, so too will your child’s second language skills. A long-term commitment will give your child the best results!
