Celebrating our Chinese Language Learners | 中文学习者的庆祝活动
In recent weeks, Chinese as an Additional Language (CAL) students at YCIS Beijing have been taking part in Learning Celebrations to showcase to our community what they have learned. Learning Celebrations are interactive presentations students make in front of their teachers, classmates, parents and staff members to show what they’ve achieved by the end of each learning unit.
最近几周，北京耀中的中文作为非母语(CAL)学生参加了学习庆典，以展示他们本学期取得的成绩。学习庆典是学生们在老师、同学、家长和教职员工面前进行的互动演示，在每个学习单元结束时展示他们所学到的知识。
An important aspect of the learning at our school, “Learning Celebrations are an authentic display of what children have been working on in their Chinese lessons.” according to Chinese Vice-Principal, April Peng, who also states “The purpose is to give students great opportunities to speak in front of a larger audience” as these celebrations are attended not only by parents but also by other groups of people, including their peers and homeroom teachers.
作为我校学习的一个重要方面，“学习庆典是我们在课堂上学习的真实展示。”小学中方副校长彭曼女士表示，“这样做的目的是让学生们有更多机会在公共场合发言”，因为参加庆祝活动的不仅有家长，还有其他人，包括他们的同学和班主任。
The array of Learning Celebrations encompassed a multiplicity of activities from poetry, self-introductory videos, reading, role-playing, singing and dubbing. Many of our Chinese learners made a great effort to recite words and poems, perfect their pronunciation and collaborate with their classmates during the preparation.
最近，我们的校园里举行了一系列的学习庆典，包括多种多样的活动，从诗歌、自我介绍视频、阅读、角色扮演、唱歌和配音。我们的许多中文学习者在准备期间努力背诵单词和诗歌，完善发音，并与同学合作。
