什么是零障碍双语教学？

What is Zero Barrier Bilingual Education?

在学前教育阶段，以民语教育为主，汉语学习为辅，使学生在学前阶段母语得到较好发展的同时，汉语水平得到相应发展，极大限度降低少数民族学生接受学校教育的语言障碍。

At the preschool stage, these students start with minority language education, supplemented by Mandarin-Chinese. They develop their mother tongue language and at the same time Mandarin-Chinese level is developed correspondingly, thus greatly reducing the language barriers placed in front of the minority students in their primary school education.

17 to 26 September 2011, government officials from Yunnan Provincial Ethnic Affairs Commission, Yunnan Foreign Affairs Office, Kunming Municipal Public Security Bureau to visit SIL International and GIAL in Dallas, JAARS in Waxhaw and Canada Institute of Linguistics in Vancouver.  In this visit, they had the opportunity to interact with our colleagues in US and Canada. The government officials expressed much appreciation on this trip.  The program was packed with information.  They were very impressed with expertise and IT programs that presented SIL's leadership in the technical arena. 

Year 2011 was a year of activities. After signing the 10-year Zero Barrier Bilingual Education MOU on 30 June 2010, SIL East Asia continue to see our activities in Yunnan to continue to expand. From 30 May to 2 June 2011, Yunnan Ministry of Education gathered a panel of experts to evaluate the Bai and Dai projects in Jianchuan County and Jinghong City respectively.
