Useful website for Chinese teaching

 

It is not easy to find ideas and worksheets online in teaching Chinese language. This may because most of the Chinese parents prefer to buy workbooks from bookstore rather than prepare themselves as what Western countries did. Home schooling seems not that common in Malaysia, most of my friends decided to send their kids to nursery school or kindergarten since age of three. I am very impressed on homeschooling or tot school in Western Countries. Kids are not force to study but enjoy to study.. no pressure in doing home works, interesting study methods and materials. I do appreciate the way they teach English, Geography, Bible study, Art, Music, etc, but still feel that mathematic subject are better to teach in Chinese as what I learned in my school time.

There are not much materials or printout available online for Chinese and Mathematic (in Chinese)subjects, but gladly found some website that are quite useful and interesting:

1. 学乐 （小学华文教材数码教学资源）

http://xuele.moe.edu.sg/xuele/slot/u107/index.html

Created by Singapore’s Ministry of Education, Chinese lessons according to their primary and secondary school syllabus. Having articles and songs which you can choose to read for you or read it yourself.

2. e知识网

http://www.ezhishi.net/index.asp

Also according to Singapore syllabus.This is a online study website that encouraging home based learning, provide supplement study materials. If you want to have full access then you will need to pay some price, however there is free trial that allow you to view and access part of the materials. It is more computer based study, utilising animations as  teaching tools.

It looks good, however, I personally do not hope my kid put too much time in front of the computer, especially when she is still a toddler, and animations can be improved.

3. 教育资源吧

Chinese Lesson - 华文课的开始 (早安 - 问候）

第一次教DEBO华文，准备了好几天。毕竟在家教学(homeschooling)并没有太多教华文相关的参考。

我是参考小学一年级课本，哈哈。。恰好我有一年级的参考书，可以借用一下。第一课里要学的生字有： 太阳，鸟，天，爸爸，妈妈，树，早。这次的主题是 “问候”。

开始上课之前，我们先练唱两首儿歌：早安歌 和 早安老师，都是从youtube下载的。这两首歌都很适合教课前唱，可以练习华文也可以让小朋友提起精神和活力来上课。DEBO很喜欢唱这两首歌，一直要求重唱。

唱完歌后，我先闪生字卡让DEBO看，之后我们读了两遍课本（第一课）。

我把生字黏在白板上，这个星期里都让DEBO练习读和认这些生字。

为了让DEBO容易记得这些字的写法，我把这些字分别出来：

“爸”= 父 + 巴，

“妈”= 女 +马，

“天”＝　一＋大，

“早”＝　日＋十

最后是做作业了。我印了参考书里其中的一页，让DEBO粘上真确的答案。
