回复 #187 韩山元 的帖子
韩老师说的是事实。不管联合国教科文组织怎么定义,我国教育部也没有规定英文为母语,虽然它是很多科目的教学媒介语。不少家庭可能自认英语为母语,这是他们的自由,我们也不用诅咒他们,如果他们因此不去学多一个语言,那也只能说明他们不够机灵。以下是转自教育部网站,关于母语政策的几段文字,这里面说得很清楚了。
Mother Tongue Language Policy
Our Mother Tongue Language (MTL) policy requires all students who are Singaporeans or Singapore Permanent Residents to study their respective official MTL: Chinese, Malay and Tamil. A non-Tamil Indian may choose to offer as his/her MTL: (a) Tamil, or (b) a non-Tamil Indian Language such as Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi or Urdu.
Students will offer their respective MTLs at the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) and the GCE ‘N’, ‘O’ and ‘A’ level examinations.
