Looking Ahead: New Technology, New Society, and Chinese Language Education in Singapore 前瞻：新科技、新社会与新加坡的华文教育
In Commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of the Department of Chinese Studies, NUS. 新加坡国立大学中文系70周年庆活动
Co-organised by the Department of Chinese Studies, Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre and The Society of Chinese Education Singapore. 新加坡国立大学中文系、新加坡华族文化中心、新加坡华文教育学会联合举办
The Chinese language education in Singapore has undergone numerous changes and drastic transformations since the 19th century. In the past decades, there has been a growing concerning with the issue of declining Chinese language proficiency among local Chinese students. This roundtable discussion shifts away from extant emphasis on how to re-energize Chinese language education for Singaporean students in anglophone setting, and instead adopts an anticipative perspective to explore how Chinese language education should respond to the new trends in technology, particularly artificial intelligence, and to the new social realities that the new immigrants are becoming the major group of local Chinese language speakers, in order to nurture a new generation that can lead Singapore into the future.
The discussion will bring together representatives from the Ministry of Education, universities, research institutions, and the Chinese media, with the aim of engaging wider societal discussions and raising awareness on these pressing issues. Admission is free and everyone is welcome to attend. Seating is limited so please register to attend via: https://sccc-lectureseries-4mar2023.peatix.com/
新加坡的华文教育从19世纪以来，经历了多次的变动和转折。“本地学生华文水平低落”的说法已持续了几十年。本次座谈会的重点，不在于“老调重弹”，探讨如何在英文至上的环境中扭转这个趋势，让学生和家长重新重视华文的学习，而在于采用具前瞻性的视角，思考本地的华文教育应该如何因应新科技（尤其是人工智能）和新社会现状（新移民逐渐成为本地使用华文的主要群体）所带来的挑战和机遇，培养能够带领新加坡面向未来的新一代。
本次座谈会邀请教育部、各大专学府和研究机构，以及华文媒体的代表参与并发言，希望能够集思广益，抛砖引玉，带动社会重视和讨论这些课题。入场免费，欢迎公众参与。请通过以下网址报名，名额有限，额满为止。报名：https://sccc-lectureseries-4mar2023.peatix.com/
