当地时间6月20日,澳大利亚本迪戈中学孔子课堂社区课青少班举行第二学期学习成果展示与中华美食制作及品尝活动。晚会伊始,孔子课堂负责人林俊财向大家分享了自己学习英语的经验,并传达了学好一门外语的重要意义。他鼓励同学们继续学习并提高自己的语言能力,为将来个人职业生涯的发展增加筹码。 On Wednesday, the 20th of June, we invited our students and their parents to come for a showcase night at which we had our students to show their parents some of their achievement through a range of different activities and performances. Although it was very cold in Bendigo (the lowest temperature was negative one degree on that day), but our students’ and their parents’ enthusiasm for learning the Chinese language and culture have already heated up the air. As a strong believer in the importance of community, I don’t think you could find a better example of parent and community engagement than inviting and involving the parents to share their children’s progress and achievement together. The showcase night was started with a warm welcome speech from Mr. Lin, the Chinese language coordinator from Confucius Classroom at the Bendigo Senior College. He firstly expressed our appreciation for the great support and encouragement that the parents have given to their children. He then shared his own experiences of learning English as a second language. He also told the participants the importance and benefit of learning Chinese as a second language, and encouraged the students to enhance their language skills so that they can pursue a better career around the world. 林俊财致辞 随后,学生们向家长展示了自己的学习成果。唱完《数鸭歌》以后,学生们通过数来宝的形式,向家长介绍了中国复杂的家庭成员关系图。接着,学生们用双语分角色阅读了孙悟空的故事,他们清晰的发音,抑扬顿挫的表演,给家长带来极大的惊喜。最令人感动的是同学们凭歌寄意,透过《数星星》这首歌向父母表达了深深的感谢和浓浓的爱。 After the speech, our students successfully hosted a mini concert and joyfully demonstrated their great success for the Semester One in 2018. A rapping of Chinese family was after the song ‘Counting Ducks’, through which our kids showed their patents the differences in describing family members in Chinese and English. Then our students surprised their parents again by reading a simple bilingual story from the great classical novel called ‘Journey to the West.’ The highlight of the show was the students sang the song ‘Counting Stars’ to express their thanks and loves for their family. Of course, the beaming smile on our parents’ faces can tell you how proud they were when they see their kids’ great performances. Since food has been a major part of every culture in the world, after the show we also invited our kids and parents to make dumplings together. In the dumpling making session, our students and parents happily experienced this cultural activity by cooking and eating like Chinese people. They have learned the art of making their own beautiful dumplings in the hands on session. They learnt about some Asian ingredients and how to use them. The parent helpers also learnt some secret recipe of making juicy and crispy dumplings from the teachers. Both the food and the experience were excellent, no wondering the students always asked us ‘Can we make dumplings this term? 学员演唱《数鸭歌》 活动当天,孔院还邀请了学生和家长一起制作和品尝煎饺,切实地体验了一次地道的中国饮食文化。 The showcase night was a resounding success! We have great feedback from both the students and parents. Definitely, it was a wonderful broader community event, with excellent cultural experiences for all the participants. It was terrific to see our confident students performing Chinese dances and songs in front of their family. Thank-you to the parents who attended and provided an audience for our student performers. 合影 本迪戈中学孔子课堂社区课每周三晚举行,共设有四个班,分别是成人初级班、成人高级班、少儿班和青少班,全部由孔院教师授课。
