3.Jingjing Wu greets the American students as they enter the classroom."Ni hao",she says,in
Mandarin Chinese.For the next hour,Chinese is all the children will hear.They are learning the
language through songs,games and lots of talking."They pick it up really fast,"Wu says."Kids
remember so much."
The students go to Lomond Elementary School,in Shaker Heights,Ohio.Each week,all
students in Grades One through Five in this school attend a one-hour Chinese class."We're trying to generate great interest in the language,"school official James J.Paces said.
Other US schools are doing so,too.The number of schools where Chinese is taught has grown,according to a report.Ten years ago,about 300schools had Chinese programs.Today,about 1600schools teach Chinese."Schools are looking to the future,"says Nancy,one of the author of the report."China is becoming a real powerful nation,and it makes sense that we have young people who not only know the language but also understand the culture."One-fifth of the world's people live in China.The country's products,including clothes,toys and electronics,are sold around the world.
Some US schools are working with the Chinese government and the College Board,a nonprofit educational group,to bring Chinese teachers to this country.Teachers can stay in the US for one to three years.Instructors give lessons in their language and teach about China.Other Schools offer more intensive language programs.Instead of studying only the language itself,students learn all of their subjects in Chinese.They don't begin to learn in English until they are in the second grade.Students are expected to know both languages.The goal is to foster(培養(yǎng)) true bilingual (雙語的) students.
More people speak Chinese than any other language.Students who learn Chinese may have greater opportunities in the future.If you know how to speak Mandarin Chinese,you open a huge door for yourself.
