A Team to Unite Cultures 多元文化融合的团队

This week we talk to Amy Zhang 张琛 who, from the beginning of the new school year, will be focusing her attention on a new Chinese team teaching model for Year 6. 

本周我们采访了张琛老师。下个学年开始，张老师将负责为6年级引入新的中文团队教学模式。

Please explain your role in the Chinese team teaching that is being introduced for Year 6

请解释你在中文团队教学模式中的角色。

In Year 6 we have formulated a new transitionary phase that lies between the co-teaching of Primary school and the team teaching of Secondary. From the beginning of next year, it will be implementing this new style of team teaching. My main role will working with teachers to integrate Chinese culture and references into the curriculum – bringing added relevance and a more global perspective to an otherwise English curriculum. 

在6年级，我们制定了一个新的过渡阶段，介于小学合作教学模式和中学团队教学模式之间。从明年开始，我们将实施这种新式的团队教学。我的主要任务是与教师合作，将中国文化和参考资料融入课程—为英文课程带来更多的关联性和更全球化的视角。

What are the benefits of this type of team teaching?

这样的团队教学有什么好处？

Continuing with a curriculum that integrates Western and Chinese history and culture is an important part of our global education model. At YCIS Beijing, we aim to prepare students for linguistic and cultural proficiency in English and Chinese – and increasing exposure to Chinese culture, history and ideas is an important part of this.

继续这种融合中西方历史和文化的课程是我们全球教育模式的重要组成部分。在北京耀中，我们的目标是同时培养学生的中英文语言和文化水平，很重要的是，增加学生对中国文化、历史和思想的理解。

In addition, students take more readily to subjects when they include points of reference that they relate to. In incorporating Chinese concepts into the curriculum, we hope to increase the relevance of our subjects for our Year 6s who are more familiar with China.

另外，当课程提供更多相关参考资料时，学生通常很容易掌握。将中文概念融入6年级的课程，我们希望能够增加学科之间的相关性。
