Ex-24 Chinese or English Medium of Teaching?
(Kar) As Hong Kong is an International City. English is commonly used in the commercial world. It’s obvious that the schools where using English as the medium of teaching are more popular than Chinese. Parents believe that if their children study in English, they will have bright future. Yet there is no guarantee.
Actually, it’s so difficult for some students to study in English. They sat through school lessons that may not understand what was being taught, except in Chinese lessons. Some of them became bored. Therefore, they might get the marks less and less. It led them to lost interest to study, even to give up. On the other hand, some students understood in all subjects since the schools used of Chinese as the medium of teaching, except English. They sat through school lessons comprehending all subjects in Chinese, except in their English lessons. Their results were improving. Consequently, they were confident of studies and enjoyed school life.
In my opinion, parents and teachers should suggest their children or students selecting schools where they are fit to study. It’s useful for them to improve their results. If they progress in theirs, they will be interested in all subjects, even to English. In the meantime, teachers should lead students to develop some interests in English: encourage them to speak in English in class, or take part in the English composition contest, or watching more English movies and so on. After all, English is useful in Hong Kong for students to learn as a second language.
