XXX幼稚園開放日 2011
今早上午十時左右便到場參觀人家幼稚園開放日。 感想如下： 全校佈置十分美觀 每個課室都安排不同的活動給到場的家長及小朋友參與(大部分活動要逹1.5歲以上) 很多人感覺好擠擁。 學校安排部分幼兒在indoor playground踏三輪車，但因人太多好容易撞到別人。 因為每個課室都有活動安排，老師很忙碌，所以沒有機會了解他們學校的教育方法及理念。 部分老師給我的感覺像PR，不太像老師。 學校應該是用Thematic Approach (主題教學)但感覺有點像Project Approach，不過沒有機會問。 問到如何教英文拼音，得到的回答是：「PN和K1同Letterland而K2和K3同Synthetic phonics。」接著我又問：「Letterland和Synthetic Phonics又何分別？」接著她回答說：「Letterland同擬人法來教字音而 Synthetic Phonics會將 /c/及/h/合音介紹/ch/的音。」 我心中不太明白但我沒有追問 首先，Letterland都有教/ch/的音，而將兩每而將兩個英文字母拼寫變成另一個新的音叫 digraphs (two letters that make one sound e.g. /sh/, /ch/, /ng/……)相等於 Montessori Language 的green scheme. Synthetic Phonics的精髓是(a carefully selected … Continue reading
