External Event 如何有效幫助孩子學習中文 Date and Time: April 27, 2025. 2:45-4 PM at PDS Shephard Common 講者:許雅寧博士 許雅寧博士在哥倫比亞大學師範學院任職教授多年,教授雙語教育課程,並擁有教育博士學位及諮商心理學的背景。經歷了許多年對海外家庭的研究與實踐,雅寧博士的三個孩子即便父親不懂中文,仍能夠在中文閱讀、書寫、甚至文言文與古典小說的理解方面達到相當水準。雅寧博士的經歷讓她更深刻理解家長在孩子學習中文過程中可能遇到的困難與挑戰,並且在這條路上持續不斷地努力與探索。 本次講座將探討家長如何在輕鬆的氛圍中,幫助孩子有效學習中文。我們將分享雙語教育的培養策略,並介紹激勵孩子學習中文的方法,讓孩子對中文產生興趣並持續學習。此外,我們也會討論如何堅持長期學習中文,讓中文學習成為孩子成長中的一部分。歡迎家長們一起來交流與學習!
