More kids learn Chinese
At Broadway Elementary School (百老汇小学) in the U.S.,the children are surrounded with Chinese characters on everything from the name cards on their desk to the drawing of a fish on a wall.Chinese teacher Kennis Wong says she never speaks English in front of her pupils so that they can get used to only hearing Chinese as soon as possible.
Recently,a growing number of Chinese language programs,like the one in Broadway Elementary,have started at schools across the U.S.As of 2010,there have been more than 60,000 students learning Chinese in American public schools.As Chinese becomes the hottest new language,many parents are scratching their heads.Why should their kids learn Chinese when so many children in China are already fluent in English?The answer to that comes in “English Next,” a new study on language.
“Few students can speak a foreign language in both Britain and the U.S.It will weaken the competitiveness of the countries,” says the report.As China becomes the world’s second largest economy,many countries hope that better language education can get their children advantages in the globalized workplace of tomorrow.“One doesn’t need to be good at Chinese in order to do business in China.But to show that one understands and respects the Chinese culture is really half the battle won,” explains a researcher.
