傣汉双语教学项目

学前班小班将和侗族项目一样使用百分之百的母语(傣语)教学。按照目前的计划, 将在学前班大班时开始将汉语作为第二语言过渡引入课程当中。这将使孩子们在读一年级之前有一个良好的汉语口语基础，并期望他们可以开始使用汉语教材。在一至六年级期间，孩子们每周仍需要上一节傣文课, 以持续提高其母语水平。

同时还有一个与孩子双语教学计划相配合的成人扫盲课程，主要是针对学前班孩子的家长们设计的。

目前工作人员正在编写小班的课程和教材。到目前为止, 我们已举办过几期教师培训，这类的培训也将会持续到下年度。此外, 我们也举办了一次教育官员研讨会, 非常感谢这些教育官员们的支持。我们对这个项目寄予厚望！

Dai/Han Bilingual Education Project

The first year of the preschool program will be similar to the Dong program; it will be 100% mother tongue, Dai. The current plans are that during the second year of the preschool program there will be a transition time into teaching the children Chinese as a second language. This will enable them to have a good foundation in oral Chinese before they begin first grade and are expected to begin using the Chinese textbooks. It is expected that during the first through sixth grades, the children will continue to have one Dai language class per week in order for them to continue to develop their mother tongue language skills.

There are also plans that an adult literacy program will be set up in conjunction with the children’s program, most directly aimed towards the parents of the preschoolers.

Currently the staff is working on curriculum and materials for the first year preschool. There have already been several teacher training sessions, and these sessions will continue throughout the next year. There has also been a seminar for education officials, and we are grateful for their support. We anticipate great things for this project!
