有感于康州华夏中文学校2011-12学年开学

黄安年文  黄安年的博客/2011年9月10日发布

多年来，美国华人依赖华人教会和社团组织、华文学校、华文报刊来增强凝聚力，其中华文学校分布于美国许多州里，对于华人子弟学习和了解汉语，增加对华人文化的了解具有的组织和促进作用。这些华人学校的教职员多数是义务的,极少数是专职人员，许多学校设置是借用当地的学校等场所。

今天上午9：30-11；30，我参加了在丹伯里康州华夏中文学校011-12学年的开学活动。这所借助康州西部学院的设施开办的中文学校共有18位教师为不同家长和学生开办的12种语言课程，和6文化课程。我们的小外孙参加了学前教育班课程，有21位小朋友参加,不少家长陪同。我参加了家长大会，校长等三位教职工在会上讲话（所有讲话使用英语，作为华文学校如果开会使用汉语就是顺理成章的）。10；30后又在学前教育班里听了新任教师王亚晴生动活泼地组织的教学活动。

华文学校学生水平差异议很大,教学要求和国内同年级想比差距很大，指望靠每周一次来解决汉语问题是不现实的。经验证明幼儿时期的语感和语言能力极其重要, 如果坚持幼儿时期双语并重侧重英语，打好幼儿时期的汉语听、说、读的基础,并且能够默写数百汉字，那么孩子的汉语学习有可能坚持下去,否则华人子弟能否在幼儿时期掌握汉语还是个问题,目前，我们的大外孙的汉语水平和有可能跟上国内同年级的中等水平。
