Steal these tricks to improve your child’s Chinese score by 20-30 marks within 10 minutes at our upcoming DailyExcel Quickfix Workshop
You want the best for your kid.
That includes navigating the Singapore school system which, sigh, is hard.
To benefit most from the system, your kid must ace every subject, including their mother tongue - Chinese.
This is where it gets complicated. The year your child hits Primary 3 (P3), examinations will start and you realize their standard. Perhaps, your child is failing Chinese and that AL6 does not bring a good feeling.
Maybe, no matter how hard they try, your child is barely scraping through. This is dragging their score further and further away from AL4, and it’s worrying. They must score well to gain a spot in a good school.
Maybe your child is currently doing fine in Chinese, but there’s always a danger of slipping out of safety zone. After all, the Singapore school system is so competitive.
Chinese language isn’t your strong suit, and you struggle to help your child with their Chinese school work.
Perhaps you rely heavily on Google Translate to aid your child. Ugh, that’s time-consuming. Not ideal after a long, tiring day at work.
Your weekends are filled with more stress from the mountain of Chinese homework your child just can’t get right. The hopelessness of your situation is weighing you down. You feel lost, desperate, and miserable and you really want to see your child excel, but nothing seems to be working.
Your child’s self-confidence is at rock bottom. There is constant panic. This has dampened family time. Your relationship with your child has suffered.
Your child is Primary 5 or Primary 6 this year and PSLE is looming and panic and anxiety has set in! Furthermore, the Singapore government has announced that there will be no mid-term exams in schools from next year onwards.
In theory, this is great. Students get to enjoy learning rather than get fixated over mundane examinations.
However…. this is also worrying. Now, it’ll be harder to track your child’s standard and progress.
Waiting for the year-end exam might not be the most ideal wake-up call — oh no, my kid is lagging behind!
As such, we’ve got to get on top of the situation early as getting blind-sided is awful.
Moreover, with the introduction of the third-language program in secondary schools, this gives students the extra opportunity to shine, but…not simply anybody. Only the elite. The student has to do well in their mother tongue to qualify.
Which leaves behind those struggling in their mother tongue. The opportunity gap that already exist between the elite students and your struggling child is widening. Thus doing well in Chinese is very important!
Of course, easier said than done, many students struggle to have a proper grasp of Chinese. And with the pain comes an intense natural dislike for the subject.
It doesn’t help that many schools and tuition centers encourage memorizing and learning by rote.
Bye bye, love for Chinese.
Moreover, some of the materials in Singapore - teaching methodologies and assessment books - are from mainland China, which is detached from Singaporean culture.
To learn, Singaporean kids must be able to relate first.
If this is your experience, we understand the helplessness you feel. Your child needs to buck up their Chinese, and they need to do it fast and we are here to help!
