清華附小語文課本「捲入」香港國際學校Tsinghua Primary School Textbooks Turn Up in Hong Kong's International Schools

走一趟香港國際學校展,從各校展位看中文教學的最新動向。A walk through the Hong Kong International School Fair, and what the stands reveal about how Chinese is being taught now.

港國際學校展於9月21日在黃竹坑海洋公園萬豪酒店舉辦,超過50家學校及機構參展,現場人頭攢動,熱鬧非凡。The Hong Kong International School Fair was held on 21 September at the Marriott Hotel at Ocean Park, Wong Chuk Hang. More than 50 schools and organisations took part, and the venue was packed.

相比往年佈展形式,今年的場地安排更具新意。除展廳面積更大外,還增設了兒童活動區域。大家看展娛樂兩不誤,玩得不亦樂乎。Compared with previous years, this year's layout showed rather more imagination. As well as a larger exhibition hall, there was a new children's activity area, so families could take in the fair and enjoy themselves at the same time.

小編一早來到現場,本次展覽多達五十六家參展單位同台競技。除了看到經常參展的老朋友們,我們也藉此機會了解到更多創辦時間不長或剛登陸香港的國際學校訊息。不得不再次感嘆香港的確是擁有國際化教學土壤。除了傳統英美體系,來自新加坡、韓國、澳洲、法國、加拿大、馬來西亞的名校也紛紛登陸。這裏既有名校連鎖旗艦,也有小而美,注重個性發展的精品學校,給家長們提供了不同的選擇。We arrived early. Fifty-six exhibitors were showing side by side this year. Alongside the familiar faces who come every year, we took the chance to learn about newer international schools, including several that have only just arrived in Hong Kong. It is a reminder that Hong Kong really does have the soil for international education. Beyond the traditional British and American systems, well-known schools from Singapore, Korea, Australia, France, Canada and Malaysia have all set up here. There are flagship campuses of large school groups, and there are small, finely run boutique schools that focus on individual development — a genuine range of choices for parents.

國際學校知多少How Much Do You Know About the International Schools?

出於專業的角度,我們把着眼點放在了各大學校的中文教學上,中文不但是國際學校廣大家長的「心頭之痛」,更是今年的學術「卷王」,個別學校的中文分層已經蔓延至小一階段,家長們的緊張情緒可想而知。我們拜訪了幾個展位,着重介紹幾所新晉後起之秀的學校中文教學現狀。Professionally, our attention went to how each school teaches Chinese. Chinese is not only the sore point for many international-school parents, it has become this year's academic battleground: at one or two schools, streaming in Chinese now reaches as far down as Year 1, and one can imagine how anxious parents feel. We visited a number of stands, and set out below how Chinese is currently taught at several of the newer, up-and-coming schools.

香港道爾頓學校(DALTON SCHOOL HONG KONG)Dalton School Hong Kong (香港道爾頓學校)

該校今年最大熱點就是學校合併及搬遷。今年9月9日,司徒拔道新校舍第一天啟用,承用了之前玫瑰崗學校的校舍,寬敞明亮,家長和學生無不拍手叫好。The school's big news this year is its merger and relocation. On 9 September the new Stubbs Road campus opened for its first day, taking over the premises formerly occupied by Rosaryhill School — spacious and bright, and warmly applauded by parents and pupils alike.

該校教學體系的最大特點是兼顧國際班與本地班(私立),家長可自行選擇。本地班中文一至三年級用普通話及繁體字,四至六年級用廣東話及繁體字,幫助本地學生更好貫徹「兩文三語」的香港語文政策。國際班則選用清華附小的語文課文,運用普通話及繁體字教學。The most distinctive feature of the school's system is that it runs both an international stream and a local (private) stream, with parents free to choose between them. In the local stream, Chinese is taught in Putonghua with traditional characters in Years 1 to 3, and in Cantonese with traditional characters in Years 4 to 6, helping local pupils meet Hong Kong's 'biliterate and trilingual' language policy in full. The international stream uses the Chinese texts of the Primary School Attached to Tsinghua University (清華附小), taught in Putonghua with traditional characters.

思貝禮國際學校(SHREWSBURY HONG KONG)Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong (思貝禮國際學校)

該校最近宣佈將於2025年開設中英雙語幼兒教育課程。思貝禮漢慶雙語課程將秉承學校現有的優質辦學理念、創新教學方法和國際化教學標準,為學生提供更廣泛的語言及文化學習機會,同時也將促進學生中英文閱讀和寫作能力的卓越發展。The school recently announced that it will open a Chinese-English bilingual early years programme in 2025. The Shrewsbury Hanqing (漢慶) bilingual programme will carry forward the school's existing educational philosophy, innovative teaching methods and international standards, offering pupils wider opportunities for language and cultural learning while driving excellence in reading and writing in both Chinese and English.

威雅學校(WYCOMBE ABBEY SCHOOL)Wycombe Abbey School (威雅學校)

該校注重中文分層教學,因材施教,以確保每個孩子都能通過適合自己的教學模式達到最佳的學習效果。中文一語(first language)使用人教版語文,中文二語(second language)使用輕鬆學漢語,第三級外語教學使用快樂學漢語系列。This school places great weight on streamed Chinese teaching, matching instruction to the child so that every pupil learns in the way that works best for them. Chinese as a first language uses the People's Education Press (人教版) textbooks; Chinese as a second language uses Chinese Made Easy (輕鬆學漢語); and the third tier, taught as a foreign language, uses the 快樂學漢語 series.

茵維特(香港)學校(INVICTUS SCHOOL HONG KONG)Invictus School Hong Kong (茵維特(香港)學校)

這所來自新加坡的學校已在香港第五個年頭了,該校實行IGCSE+A LEVEL體系,中文使用普通話及簡體字教學。學校注重新加坡式學術教學外,也希望通過創新及啟發式教學培養學生全面發展。This Singaporean school is now in its fifth year in Hong Kong. It follows the IGCSE and A-Level system, and teaches Chinese in Putonghua with simplified characters. Alongside its Singapore-style academic rigour, the school aims to develop well-rounded pupils through innovative, inquiry-led teaching.

朗思國際學校(THINK INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL)Think International School (朗思國際學校)

該校設有幼稚園部及小學部。小學部實行已認證的IBPYP課程體系。中文有自編教材,使用普通話及繁體教學。The school has both a kindergarten section and a primary section. The primary section runs the authorised IB PYP curriculum. Chinese is taught from the school's own in-house materials, in Putonghua with traditional characters.

小結In Summary

在國際化的香港,許多家長都希望孩子能夠接受優質的雙語教育。香港國際學校的中文教育的目標是培養雙語精英,多所國際名校也將於2025年度推出雙語文憑,可見中文的認受性及普及性大大提升,香港的國際學校也具備了更強的競爭力。In a city as international as Hong Kong, many parents want their children to have a first-rate bilingual education. The aim of Chinese teaching in Hong Kong's international schools is to produce genuinely bilingual young people, and a number of leading international schools will introduce bilingual diplomas in the 2025 academic year. Chinese is plainly gaining in recognition and reach, and Hong Kong's international schools are the more competitive for it.

我們將在之後的文章中為大家具體介紹香港各大國際學校的中文教學特點,希望助您一臂之力,幫助孩子選擇最適合的學校。In later articles we will look in detail at what characterises Chinese teaching at each of Hong Kong's major international schools — we hope it will lend you a hand as you choose the school that suits your child best.
