教材使用

马立平中文教材编辑说明及要点:

一、拼音和汉字的关系——直接认字,后学拼音

为了先入为主地发展学生识别汉字的能力,本教材在开始阶段不用拼音,而是通过韵文,直接进行汉字教学。在学了七百来个常用汉字以后,再教汉语拼音。语音教学由课堂教学和多媒体练习共同分担。

二、认字和写字的关系——先认后写,多认少写

海外儿童学习中文的时间十分有限。本教材采用先认后写、多认少写的原则。一至四年级教材要求学生熟练认读的1500个左右常用汉字,在一般中文读物中的出现频率为95%以上。熟练书写的五百个左右最常用的汉字,可构成1000个以上的常用词汇,以满足日常生活中的书写需要。在五年级教授学生用电脑输入中文。学完十年级,学生可接触到2794个汉字。

三、精读和泛读的关系——课文和阅读材料并重

考虑到海外语言环境的特点,教材采用了课文和阅读材料相互交织的结构,每篇课文都配有阅读材料数篇,纳入正式教学。这些阅读材以中国历史故事和寓言为主要题材,用学生已经学过的汉字撰写。

四、阅读和写作的关系——先读后写,水到渠成

语汇是写作的基础。一至四年级以认字和阅读教学为主,让学生掌握大量的语汇。六至七年级以写作教学为主,学习如何用中文来状物、叙事、写人;中间则以改写的《西游记》等作为过渡。

五、素材选择和改写的依据——求知欲、成就感、常用字先行和高频率复现

本教材中课文和阅读材料的素材来源很广。选材的依据,一是根据海外华裔儿童的兴趣和求知欲,二是注重培养学生学习中文的成就感。素材经改写后,自成一个完整的中文教学体系,常用字先行,并且高频率复现。前后呼应,环环相扣。

六、汉字结构的教学

汉字的笔画、笔形、笔顺和部首是掌握汉字结构的重要手段,本教材用英文介绍部首的意义,使用“Meaning clue和“Sound clue” 等概念帮助学生 认记汉字。

七、多媒体练习光盘

和课文配套的多媒体练习光盘,应在PC电脑上使用。光盘含有课文朗读、写字示范、生字和词汇的练习游戏等内容。光盘按自由练习(开放式)和规定作业(封闭式)两种方式组织。规定作业每周四次,完成作业后出现该次作业的“密码”,由学生登记到作业本上,交给老师核实。
