One People, One Nation, One Singapore: Language Policy and Shifting Identities among Chinese Singaporeans. In Klöter, Henning and Saarela, Mårten Söderblom (Ed.), Language Diversity in the Sinophone World: Historical Trajectories, Language Planning, and Multilingual Practices (PP. 164-181). New York: Routledge. | Goh Yeng Seng | Book Chapters | |
| This chapter provides an overview of language planning in Singapore since the country’s independence in 1965. It examines official responses toward societal multilingualism and the ideologies underlying language planning, notably the promotion of English and Mandarin. Before independence, Mandarin was hardly ever used within the Chinese population. It was only after 1965 that it became an official language—alongside English, Malay, and Tamil Language—and gradually gained dominance over the other Sinitic varieties through education and intensive campaigning. The chapter argues that the evolution of bilingualism within the Chinese community, which accompanied a shift in identity from overseas Chinese to Chinese Singaporeans, resulted in an increasing percentage of Chinese Singaporeans using English predominantly as a home language. Meanwhile, in an era of global Mandarin, Singapore is gradually shifting toward a language situation where Chinese is increasingly learned merely as a foreign language and is not being used in the home context. | ||||

| It is sentence-completing element that determine whether a phrase can transform to be a sentence or not. The sentences should be identified as two different kinds belong to language level and discourse level. There are some shortcomings in those current interpretations of Chinese sentence-completing element. When the sentence information is calculated, both the cognitive inference for whole construction and the specific constraints of different sentence components needed to be taken into consideration. The minimal basic sentence should be regarded as a starting point to the determination of sentence-completing elements in language teaching, which can avoid the sentence-completing error being treated as other kinds of error. | ||||
| 汉语短语实现为句子需要完句成分作为支撑，现有完句成分的几种归因解释还存在一些不足。完句成分研究中应注意区分语言和言语这两个不同层面的句子，对于语句信息量的计算既要考虑整体的认知推理解读，也要考虑不同类型完句成分的分项要求，而教学中完句成分的确立应以最小基础句为出发点，避免将“完句”问题扩大为不同层面的多因语误。 | ||||

| Migrating from homeland in China to Singapore, Singapore Chinese put down roots, have a family and eventually become citizens in Singapore. The implementation of the racial integration policy in the past fifty years has not only forged a distinctive Chinese Singaporean identity, but also brought a major change in the sociolinguistic landscape. There is thus a significant variation in attitudes towards Chinese language and culture and ethnic Chinese identity across generational cohorts, due to different home language use and education background. It is essential, in the age of globalisation, for mainland Chinese and Chinese overseas to recognise and respect the fact that Chinese overseas has evolved a distinctive identity over time and space. | ||||

| Bilingual and bicultural scholar Yeng-Seng Goh offers the first in-depth English language analysis of global Chinese, exploring the spread of Chinese beyond China and its emergence as a global language. Approaching the topic from a Singapore perspective, Goh uses this fascinating language ecosystem, with its unique bilingual language policy, as a case study for Chinese language learning. Offering clear insights into the pedagogy of teaching Chinese as an international lang+G3uage (TCIL), this book covers a range of important topics, such as the sociolinguistic profile of Chinese language student-teachers, the use of English in the teaching of Chinese, the teaching of Chinese by non-native teachers, information and communications technology in L2 learning and teaching, the progressive Chinese pronunciation programme and the progressive testing of receptive skills. In doing so, it presents a new, integrative approach to the compilation of Chinese learner’s dictionaries, an innovative bilingual hybrid model for training TCIL teachers, and a solid theoretical framework for Masters of Arts programmes in TCIL and a unique perspective on the establishment of translation as a service industry. | ||||
| 2017 | Corpus of Primary School Chinese Teaching Materials in Singapore: A Study on its Construction and Application Luo, Q.M. (2017). Corpus of Primary School Chinese Teaching Material in Singapore: A Study on its Construction and Application. Beijing: Chinese Social Sciences Press 教材语料库的建构与应用 | Luo Qingming | Scholarly Book (Refereed) | |
| This study constitutes an exploration of the construction and application of the Singapore primary school Chinese textbook corpus. It focuses mainly on three major objectives: a) the construction of a pedagogically tagged Singapore primary school Chinese textbook corpus; b) the utilization of the constructed primary school Chinese textbook corpus to conduct relevant research on language elements and to explore the content and methodology of textbook corpus-aided primary school Chinese teaching; c) to further undertake research on second language vocabulary acquisition in conjunction with teaching. As textbook corpora are important teaching resources and aid, they play a significant role in aiding language teaching experts in the compilation of teaching syllabus, extraction of vocabulary table for teaching, and the provision of teaching reference materials. Nevertheless, textbook corpora are used mostly for indirect applications in the field of second language teaching. The application of textbook corpora to directly serve classroom teaching has yet to receive sufficient attention, especially in the field of Chinese language teaching. Based on usage objectives, data sources and annotation methods, textbook corpora can be further divided into pedagogical corpora, textbook corpora and textbook-information databases, all of which vary widely in terms of usage. The textbook corpus constructed under this study can be directly applied to classroom teaching and textbook language research. While the development and application of this type of corpora remain in the infancy stage for non-Chinese languages, this study is the first of its kind in the realm of Chinese language. Textbook corpora that target classroom teaching and textbook language research are different from other corpora in terms of corpus selection and annotation, functional design and interface presentation. Complying with the basic principles and procedures of corpus development, the Singapore primary school Chinese textbook corpus further exhibited innovation and breakthroughs in the context of functional development and search software design. It achieved the extraction and computation of language information such as phonology, Chinese characters, vocabulary, collocation, etc and was able to address the demand for diverse, personalized and convenient teaching in relation to search method and interface design, thereby realizing the designated research objectives of this study. This study makes reference to corpus-based and corpus-driven research models and utilizes the constructed textbook corpus to undertake a non-systemic statistical analysis of the language elements of Singapore primary school Chinese textbooks. Firstly, Claude Shannon’s Information Theory (1951) is applied to undertake a more comprehensive analysis of the phonological load of Singapore primary school Chinese textbooks. Results indicate that the total load is unevenly distributed within the internal Chinese phonetic system - vowels have the highest phonological load, followed by consonants, with tones having the lowest phonological load. In terms of the average load of phonemes, tones command the highest phonological load, with a greater divergence in the phonological load of the internal subsystems of consonants, vowels and tones. The divergence in the usage frequency of phonetic elements and the internal configuration of phonetic systems is the main cause for the differences in Chinese phonological load. These preliminary conclusions are of reference value to the study and pedagogical research of Chinese phonetic acquisition. Secondly, this study uses statistical methods to undertake a comprehensive analysis of the vocabulary system of Singapore primary school Chinese textbooks, revealing a skewed distribution of Chinese word classes in textbooks, including a significant difference in the recurrence rate of different word classes as well as the internal recurrence rate within the same word class, and an abnormal distribution phenomenon of few high frequency words and numerous single frequency words. Textbook concurrence is not common, accounting for approximately 6%-10%. Concurrence occurs more between content words, with a close relationship between the number of syllables of multi-category words and word class. In exploring the application of the Singapore primary school Chinese textbook corpus to the teaching of Chinese, reference is made in this study to Tim Johns’ data-driven learning theory (1991). From the perspectives of the applicability of textbook corpus to different teaching stages and segments, and the combination of textbook corpus with internet multimedia technology, this study further sets out an in-depth discussion of the feasibility of the application of textbook corpus to Singapore primary school Chinese teaching and puts forward concrete methods and examples to further prove that based on pedagogical principles, textbook corpus can achieve an effect unmatched by printed textbooks in aiding classroom teaching. This study uses the constructed textbook corpus to conduct research on vocabulary acquisition in conjunction with teaching. Through a small-scale comparative experiment on pedagogy, this study further illustrates that teaching pedagogy which utilizes textbook corpus-based vocabulary repetition has a positive effect in improving the effectiveness of vocabulary learning of students. This study concludes with a summary of the research topic, including the research findings, and further points out existing inadequacies as well as the direction for further research. | ||||
| 本研究探讨新加坡小学华文教材语料库的建构和应用，主要围绕目标：建构具有教学法标注的教材语料库；用建构的语料库进行语言要素相关研究，探讨其辅助华文教学的内容和方法；最终开展与教学相结合的二语词汇习得研究。 新加坡小学华文教材语料库实现了语音、汉字、词汇、搭配等多项语言信息的提取和统计，在检索方式和界面设计上满足多样化、人性化和便捷化的教学需求，达成本教材语料库的研究设计目标。 本研究利用所建构的教材语料库对新加坡小学华文教材中的语言要素进行了非系统性的统计分析。首先，采用Shannon（1951）的信息理论对新加坡小学华文教材的语音负担进行了较全面的分析，结果显示，汉语声母、韵母、声调内部子系统的语音负担存在较大差异。原因主要是语音要素的使用频率和语音系统内部的配置差异。这些初步结论对汉语语音的习得和教学具有参考价值。其次，本研究运用统计学的方法对新加坡小学华文教材词汇系统进行全面分析，发现教材中的汉语词类呈现偏态分布特征；不同词类的重现率差异显著；教材兼类现象并不普遍，多发生在实词之间。 在探讨新加坡小学华文教材语料库在华文教学中的应用方面，本研究借鉴Johns（1991）的语料驱动学习理论，从教材语料库在不同教学阶段、不同教学环节的应用，以及它与网络多媒体技术相结合等三个角度，对教材语料库应用于新加坡小学华文教学的可行性进行了深入探讨，提出了具体方法和实例，从教学原理上证明了教材语料库在辅助课堂教学方面能起到纸本教材无法达到的作用。 通过一个教学法对比实验，证明了基于教材语料库的词汇重现对学生提高词汇学习的效益具有积极的作用。 本研究最后课题总结，研究中存在的不足，确定了进一步方向。 | ||||

| In a bilingual environment such as the Singaporean Chinese community, the challenge of maintaining Chinese language and sustaining Chinese culture lies in promoting the daily use of Chinese language in oral and written forms among children. Ample evidence showed the effect of the home language and literacy environment (HLE), on children’s language and literacy abilities. This study examined Singaporean Chinese–English bilingual children’s HLE and its influence on their Chinese oral and written language ability. Parents of seventy-six Chinese–English bilingual preschoolers completed a HLE survey. Children’s Chinese oral and written language abilities were measured with age appropriate tasks. Results of the HLE survey revealed that, on the average, children’s Chinese language and literacy related activities, either carried out independently or with parents, were not frequent, but correlated significantly with children’s oral and written language ability. A set of regression analysis showed that, after controlling for family socioeconomic status (SES), children’s language preference at home made a unique contribution, both to their Chinese language and literacy related activities and to their Chinese oral language ability. Similarly, children’s Chinese language and literacy related activities were found to make unique contribution to their Chinese written language ability after the effect of family SES and language preference was accounted for, emphasizing the crucial aspects of home literacy activities for developing children’s Chinese written language ability. | ||||
| 双语环境给新加坡华人社群带来的挑战是如何推广华语成为儿童的日常用语，以便保存华语和华族文化。充分的证据显示家庭语言和知识水平环境对于儿童的语言和识字能力是有影响的，而这项研究就针对新加坡英汉双语儿童的家庭环境来探讨它如何影响儿童华语口头与书写能力。这研究包括使用适龄测试来衡量76名学龄前儿童的口头和书写能力，并让他们的家长填写一份关于他们家庭语言和知识水平环境的问卷。问卷成绩显示语言和识字相关的活动虽然在家中不是很频繁，但对儿童的语言和识字能力有相对的影响。一组回归分析显示：在对照家庭社会经济地位后，儿童在家中的语言偏好促成他们语言和识字相关的活动以及华语口头能力。同样的，在掌握了家庭社会经济地位和语言偏好，相关的活动也为儿童的华语书写能力起着特别的贡献。这推进家庭文化活动对于发展儿童华语书写能力的重要性。 | ||||

| Phonological functional load, similar to phonemic functional load, refers to the amount of linguistic information carried by a single phonological unit (initial, final, tone, syllable). The phonological functional load of teaching materials, being an important quantifying indicator for phonological information, has direct impact on the hierarchical stratification of Chinese phonological elements, the writing of phonology-oriented teaching materials, as well as students’ acquisition of phonological information. This essay makes use of Singapore’s primary school Chinese textbook corpus and various statistical methods to calculate the phonological functional load of initials, finals, tones and other phonological constructs present in the textbook corpus. Results have shown that phonological functional load varies for initials, finals and tones in Chinese language. Overall, the total phonological functional load is the greatest for finals, followed by initials, and lastly tones. However, as for average phonological load, tone carries the greatest amount of information. Within each sub-phonological system (e.g. initial sub-system, finals sub-system, and tone sub-system), there is also greater internal variations in functional load. The main cause of variations in phonological functional load for Chinese language is the difference in the frequency of phonological constructs. In other words, there is a positive relationship between the frequency of phonological constructs and the size of phonological functional load. However, it is also important to note that the frequency of phonological constructs is not the only factor influencing the size of phonological functional load. The number of possible combinations between different initials, finals and tones, as well as the binary opposition or complementary relationship between phonological units, has direct impact on phonological functional load too. These preliminary conclusions about the concept of phonological functional load will have practical implication on future research into students’ acquisition of phonological information. | ||||
| 本文利用新加坡小学华文教材语料库结合数理统计原理对教材包括声母、韵母、声调等语音构成要素进行语音负担测算。结果显示，汉语声母、韵母和声调的语音负担不平均。声、韵、调内部子系统的语音负担也存在较大差异。各语音构成要素在使用频率上存在差异，频率与语音负担成正比。而语音系统内部配置，语音单位元之间的对立或互补关系也会直接影响二元对立的语音负担。 | ||||

| In recent years, Chinese teaching circles have made progress in the study of the frequency effect of textbooks. More and more research support the efficiency of vocabulary acquisition, which is related to the frequency of teaching vocabulary. High-frequency words are more easily acquired than low-frequency words. Through the quantitative analysis of the teaching materials, scholars also found that the existing Chinese textbooks generally face the problem of having too high frequency words and too low proportion of low-frequency words. However, most of the existing studies are based on the statistical description of the vocabulary of teaching materials, but they are seldom involved in the distribution and frequency of words in different parts of speech. This article takes this as the breakthrough point, with the aid of the Singapore elementary school Chinese teaching material corpus, discusses the present primary school Chinese teaching material's word class distribution. The main body of the thesis is divided into two parts. The research method used by the corpus linguistics, the proportion of all kinds of content words and function words, word frequency statistics textbooks, and their characteristics. Secondly, analysis of the number and distribution of conversion words. | ||||

| This study uses 2x3 mixed experimental design, to explore the different teaching level repetition rate of two different teaching methods to reproduce (reproduction and processing of traditional vocabulary teaching materials based on corpus) influence on learners of Chinese vocabulary acquisition. The results show that the frequency effect of the repetition rate of textbooks is significant, and the teaching effect of high-frequency words are better than that of low-frequency words, no matter what teaching strategies are adopted. In the area of teaching methods, the acquisition effect of lexical repetition based on teaching material corpus is better than that of traditional random vocabulary teaching, but the acquisition advantage is not the same at different teaching material reproduction rates. At a low recurrence rate (1 repetition), the difference between the two is not obvious, but the repetition rate is better than the traditional vocabulary teaching method at the medium and high repetition rate (3-5 repetition). The experimental results support the standard threshold hypothesis and the dual process recognition theory. | ||||

| 2014 | On the Construction Ba NP YI V Chinese Language Learning, NO.3, 46-54. "把NP一V”的句法、语义和语用功能 | Xu Feng | Journal-Refereed | |
| This paper discusses the features of the construction of “Ba NP一V ”. Those features are manifested in three aspects: the subjective minute quantity comes from “一”; the demand of one—syllable action verb and the dependence of “Ba NP一V ” clause. In comparison with “一 VP” Construction, “Ba NP一V ” emphasizes “Subjective Disposal", while in comparison with the ordinary Ba-Construction，it emphasizes the result and status caused by the momentary verb “V”, which expressed in two fields of vision. It makes the effect of flashing lamp to strengthen the description of a situation. | ||||

| The multiple functional attributes of modal adverb “bin” make different understanding. By comparing the different function, it shows that they all come from the semantic function of declaration.it means a negation to previous inference. There is no specific word in English to express this kind of pragmatic negation. The explanations and examples in some dictionaries are not complete. The conjunction between the context and the language background should be pay more attention. It is the core meaning of “bin” that is the key point to understand and grasp the usage of the modal adverb. | ||||
| 语气副词“并”的多重功能属性造成了对其语法意义的不同认识和理解。通过比较“并”的不同功能，可以看出这些不同功能源出于“并”的“申明”语义功能，即申明对前文所形成或存在的某种推断的否定。汉英两种语言对译调查表明，这种语用推理否定在英语中并无汉语中类似的专用功能词语。目前一些辞书的解释说明及出例都存有不同程度的问题。此类虚词教学更应注重上下文及语言背景知识的衔接和推断，把握核心意义是准确理解和掌握词语用法的关键。 | ||||

| This paper compares the statistics analysis results of multi-category words in Modern Chinese Dictionary and the Syllabus of Graded Word and Characters for Chinese Proficiencies. It demonstrates that he limited quantity of Chinese multi-category words does not led to serious problem, the way to mark Noun & Verb multi-category words as one category words will encounter difficulties in explanation of usage of multi-category words. The strict stand for multi-category words nowadays is worth discussing. | ||||
| 本文对《汉语水平词汇与文字等级大纲》中的兼类词作了较为详尽的统计分析并与《现代汉语词典》（2005版）进行了对比。统计分析表明，即便采取较为宽松的标准，汉语兼类词的数量也有限，不会造成所谓兼类过多的情况。兼类词处理上的不同是“小范围内的大麻烦”，而麻烦的部分原因恰恰与以往担心兼类过多而将自指类动名兼类词单类化的做法有关。辞书与教材标注词性的主要目的是概括反映词语的句法属性，帮助学习者掌握词语的用法。兼类词标注的单类化会在词语用法的解释和处理上遇到一定的困难，从语言教学角度看，《大纲》和《现汉》采取兼类词从严标准的处理办法值得商榷。 | ||||

| The Chinese Grammar system for teaching Chinese as a foreign language nowadays are analytic, its characteristic is unidirectivity. When the learners of second language study grammar, they often face both analytical problems and the problems of expression. The learners also need to organize information reasonably and effectively. Therefore, the way from ideation to structure is indispensable. Chinese communication grammar meets the need to expression, it also can take the advantage of learner’s first language knowledge and competence. This kind of grammar based on language function and the analytic teaching grammar complement each other. | ||||
| 现有的对外汉语教学语法体系主要采取分析路线，属于单向性解码语法。第二语言学习者学习语法既有分析的问题也有表达的问题，从语言编码的角度看，第二语言学习者还需要如何把所要表达的信息合理而有效地组织起来，因此，采取由意念到语法结构的路向也是一种不可或缺的有效做法。汉语交际语法按照从内容到形式编织和组织，既符合学习者语言表达生成的要求，也能够较好地利用学习者已经有的第一语言知识和能力。这种基于功能导向的交际语法与现有分析型教学语法并行不悖，相辅相成。 | ||||
| 2011 | On the Cognitive construction of Chinese Polysemous Functional words in TCSL Overseas Chinese Education, No.2, 37-47. 汉语作为第二语言的多义虚词认知建构 | Xu Feng | Journal-Refereed | |
| A contradiction between the single dimensional direction of teaching polysemous functional words and the multi-dimensional semantical network of these words is difficult to avoid. The polysemy of word is the embodiment of the extension of the core porotype meaning. The key point to setting of semantic entries of a word depends on the cognitive basic-level category. The situation cognition of polysemous functional words is just first step, the consolidation and deepening of meaning depends on the core semantic item which run through the whole cognitive process. The language background and learners type are two factors in determination of core semantic item, the item may be flexible based on different cognitive mechanisms. | ||||
| 多义虚词教学的单向度线性过程（分义项按顺序）与词义建构结果的立体语义网络之间存在着难以回避的矛盾。词语的多义性是词语相关意义构成的以原型为核心的概念范畴,其义项的设立关键在于基本层次范畴的概念转域。情境认知只是多义虚词建构过程中的第一步,其语义深化和巩固则有赖于一个能贯穿于所有意义并用以强化学习者词义心理节点连接强度的核心义，而这个核心义的确定需要考虑学习者的背景和类型，具有动态性和灵活性。此外,多义虚词的认知建构也应考虑并充分利用第一语言的相关认知机制。 | ||||

Sebutan Johor-Riau dan Sebutan Baku dalam Konteks Identiti Masyarakat Melayu Singapura | Mukhlis Abu Bakar | Journal-Refereed | |
| The establishment of Radio Malaya in 1946 in Singapore was an important milestone in the development of Sebutan Johor-Riau (SJR) as the standard pronunciation in Malay in Malaysia and Singapore. However, in 1993, in line with efforts to standardise Malay pronunciation in the archipelago, the Singapore government introduced Sebutan Baku (SB) as the standard pronunciation, replacing SJR, for use in schools, broadcasting stations and during official ceremonies. Unlike Malaysia, which returned to SJR in 2000, Singapore retained SB. This paper reviews the literature on standard pronunciation in Malay in the context of the socio-history of the Malays in Singapore and Malaysia and re-evaluates SB as a standard pronunciation. The following points emerged: 1) SJR (or /ə/ variety) and /a/ variety are two models of standard pronunciation in Malay that evolved naturally (SJR in the south, and the /a/ variety in the north, of the Malay Peninsula); 2) significant events that occurred within SJR’s distributed network made it a standard pronunciation that is more influential than the /a/ variety; 3) the Singapore Malay language identity is closely related to SJR; 4) SB is a created model of pronunciation based on the principle 'words are pronounced as they are spelled' and cannot be applied to Malay for as long as words are not spelled as they are pronunced; 5) SB as spoken in Singapore emerges as a hybrid – a mix of SB and SJR. This paper also discusses the implications from the continuation of the SB policy in Singapore. | ||||
| Penubuhan Radio Malaya pada tahun 1946 di Singapura merupakan titik penting dalam perkembangan Sebutan Johor-Riau (SJR) sebagai sebutan standard bahasa Melayu di Malaysia dan Singapura. Bagaimanapun, pada tahun 1993, selaras dengan usaha pembakuan sebutan bahasa Melayu di Nusantara, pemerintah Singapura mengisytiharkan Sebutan Baku (SB) sebagai sebutan standard, menggantikan SJR, untuk digunakan di sekolah-sekolah, stesen-stesen penyiaran dan di upacara rasmi. Tidak seperti Malaysia yang kembali kepada SJR pada tahun 2000, Singapura mengekalkan SB. Makalah ini menyorot evolusi sebutan standard bahasa Melayu dalam konteks sosio-sejarah orang Melayu Singapura dan Malaysia dan turut menilai semula kebakuan SB. Lima gagasan penting telah dikenal pasti: 1) SJR (atau kelainan /ə/) dan kelainan /a/ merupakan dua model sebutan standard bahasa Melayu yang tumbuh secara tabii (SJR di selatan Semenanjung dan kelainan /a/ di utara); 2) Peristiwa-peristiwa penting yang berlaku secara kebetulan dalam jaringan ketersebaran SJR menjadikannya sebutan standard yang lebih berpengaruh daripada kelainan /a/; 3) Identiti bahasa orang Melayu Singapura terkait rapat dengan SJR; 4) SB pula adalah model sebutan yang dibuat-buat berpandukan prinsip ‘sebut sebagaimana dieja’ dan tidak dapat dipakai untuk bahasa Melayu selagi ejaan tidak menepati sebutan; 5) SB yang dituturkan di Singapura muncul sebagai sebutan hibrid – campuran SB dan SJR. Makalah ini turut membincangkan implikasi daripada penerusan dasar SB di Singapura. | ||||

Selangor, Malaysia: Department of South East Asia, SOAS University of London & Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Bahasa Melayu Di Nusantara: Antara Status Dan Realiti. | Roksana Bibi Binte Abdullah | Conference Presentations (with publication) | |
| Malay Language has been elevated to the status of the national language and official language in the countries in the Malay archipelago. In the course of a sophisticated and rapidly changing way of life, language use, in the real sense, is increasingly challenged. The English language has increasingly taken over the communication role within the community of language users, especially the younger generation. This study has looked at the realities of language use in the context of three countries namely Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. | ||||
| Bahasa Melayu telah di angkat statusnya sebagai bahasa kebangsaan dan bahasa rasmi di negara-negara di Nusantara. Dalam menjalani kehidupan yang serba canggih dan arus perubahan yang deras berlaku telah menyebabkan penggunaannya dalam erti kata yang sebenar semakin tercabar.

| This article discusses the sexist elements in the Malay language. Some examples from the list of proverbs that showcase the Malay heritage were deconstructed in terms of word use/selection as well as the implicit and explicit meaning, and they pointed towards a gender bias. The findings proved that most forms of Malay proverbs displayed a sexist attitude towards women. | ||||

| Many challenges are faced in the preservation of the Malay language in Singapore. Although its status has been elevated as the national language and it is one of the official languages, in reality, its usage is very limited and the language ability of its native speakers is also declining. Supported with reasons, this phenomenon is highlighted as well as its impact on the future of the Malay language in Singapore. | ||||
| Bahasa melayu di Singapura menhgadapi pelbagai cabaran bagi pelestariannya. Walaupun statusnya telah diangkat sebagai bahasa kebangsaan dan salah satu daripada bahasa rasmi, namun dari segi realitinya, penggunaannya amat terbatas dan keupayaan bahasa dalam kalangan penutur natifnya juga kian merosot. Perkara ini disorot dengan meninjau sebab musabab serta impaknya terhadap masa depan bahasa Melayu di Singapura. | ||||

| The ideologies underlying Singapore’s language-in-education policy drive home the message that students should feel some form of emotional connection to their mother tongue. At the same time, English is privileged leading many to index it with education, upward mobility, modernity and prestige. Singaporean parents are cognisant of these ideologies and play an important role in mediating their children’s affiliation to the respective languages and influencing their language use patterns. This study seeks to obtain a sense of how parents of 8-year old children struggle with competing ideologies when enrolling their children in one of two Islamic religious education programmes: English-medium Kids aL.I.V.E. and Malay-medium mosque madrasah. Parents of 35 children from the two programmes reported on their use of Malay and English, and their children’s proficiency in, and use of, the two languages. Their reports suggest that the children were equally proficient in both languages but English was their dominant language. Parents were highly supportive of the language medium of the respective programmes, but irrespective of which language they supported, many were strongly affiliated to Malay citing reasons that mirror the state ideology that calls on its citizens to stay rooted in their ethnic heritage through their mother tongue. | ||||
| Ideologi yang mendasari dasar bahasa dalam pendidikan Singapura mengandungi anjuran bahawa pelajar harus merasakan perkaitan emosi dengan bahasa ibunda mereka. Pada masa yang sama, bahasa Inggeris mendapat layanan istimewa yang mendorong ramai untuk mengaitkannya dengan pendidikan, mobiliti peningkatan, kemodenan dan prestij. Para ibu bapa Singapura menyedari ideologi-ideologi ini dan memainkan peranan penting dalam membantu anak-anak mereka menjalin hubungan dengan bahasa-bahasa yang mereka tuturkan dan mempengaruhi corak penggunaan bahasa mereka. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan gambaran bagaimana ibu bapa kanak-kanak berumur 8 tahun bergelut dengan ideologi-ideologi yang saling bersaing apabila mendaftarkan anak-anak mereka dalam salah satu daripada dua program pendidikan agama Islam: Kids aL.I.V.E. dalam bahasa Inggeris dan madrasah masjid dalam bahasa Melayu. Ibu bapa 35 kanak-kanak dari kedua-dua program melaporkan penggunaan bahasa Melayu dan Inggeris oleh anak-anak mereka, dan penguasaan mereka dalam kedua-dua bahasa. Laporan mereka menunjukkan bahawa kanak-kanak sama mahir dalam kededua bahasa tetapi bahasa Inggeris adalah bahasa dominan mereka. Ibu bapa sangat menyokong bahasa yang digunakan dalam program masing-masing, tetapi apapun bahasa yang mereka sokong, ramai mempunyai afiliasi yang kuat dengan bahasa Melayu, dengan memetik sebab-sebab yang mencerminkan ideologi negara yang menyeru rakyatnya supaya terus terikat dengan warisan etnik mereka melalui bahasa ibunda mereka. | ||||

| Cultural absorption in plural societies happens often and one cultural aspect that is frequently borrowed is the aspect of language. This kind of borrowing often happens when a particular concept does not exist within the community that borrows. When the community is unable to identify or refer to a new idea or concept in the context of a plural society, the language borrowing process takes place. Multilingual and multi-cultural communities living side-by-side in Singapore for decades has resulted in the creation of a new form in their respective languages whereby native users of these languages may not be able to understand it if they were not residing in Singapore. Based on surveys conducted with the Chinese and Indian societies in Singapore, Malay words used by them when speaking in English or in their native language were listed out. In addition, the Malay words used by them are clarified in terms of semantics, based on their perception and understanding. The findings proved that a large number of words from the Malay language were used in the context of language conversations in other languages among the Chinese and Indian communities in Singapore. | ||||
| Penyerapan budaya dalam kalangan masyarakat yang bertembung sering terjadi dan salah satu daripada sumber yang kerap menjadi bahan yang dipinjam adalah aspek kebahasaan. Peminjaman sebegini sering berlaku bahanakan ketiadaan benda atau konsep yang dirujuk itu dalam masyarakat yang meminjam. Dengan ketiadaan kosa kata bagi merujuk benda atau konsep yang baru diketemui dalam masyarakat yang ditembungi itu, maka berlakulah proses meminjam bagi aspek kebahasaan ini. Masyarakat multi bahasa dan multi budaya yang hidup berjiran di Singapura selama beberapa dekad telah menghasilkan satu bentuk baru dalam bahasa masing-masing yang mana pengguna asli bahasa-bahasa tersebut mungkin tidak dapat memahaminya jika tidak menginap di Singapura. Hasil daripada tinjauan yang dijalankan terhadap masyarakat Cina dan India di Singapura, kata-kata bahasa Melayu yang mereka gunakan sewaktu berbicara dalam bahasa Inggeris atau bahasa ibunda mereka telah disenaraikan. Di samping itu, kata-kata bahasa Melayu yang mereka gunakan itu dijelaskan juga aspek semantiknya berdasarkan persepsi dan pemahaman mereka. Hasil kajian ini membuktikan sejumlah besar kata-kata dari bahasa Melayu telah digunakan dalam konteks perbualan bahasa asing di kalangan masyarakat Cina dan India di Singapura. | ||||

| The members of the Malay community in Singapore come from varied backgrounds and originate from the different areas within the region, including the Bawean Island. This study reveals the extent to which the Bawean language persists in the Singapore context. This study also utilizes the Social Network theory that reviews the language chosen by respondents while communicating with people from various backgrounds. Data collection from a segment of the Bawean population across three generations has yielded solid proof that Bawean language in the Singapore context can be classified as an ‘endangered language’. The segment of the third-generation was not able to converse in Bawean. However, the Bawean community is an active group that carries out various activities, striving towards preserving the Bawean language in Singapore. | ||||

Hasil pengumpulan data dari kelompok masyarakat bawean dalam 3 generasi yang berbeza, bukti kukuh diperolehi di mana bahasa bawean dalam konteks Singapura dapat dikelompokkan sebagai ‘endangered language’. Kelompok generasi ketiga secara keseluruhantidak mampu menggunakan bahasa bawean. Walaubagaimanapun, masyarakat Bawean merupakan golongan yang aktif menjalankan pelbagai aktiviti dan berusaha mengekalkan bahasa Bawean di Singapura. | ||||

| The community of native Malay language users are always working on how the language is able to fulfil all communication needs for various backgrounds and settings. Hence, the Malay language used in this modern era has changed greatly in the development of its society which is largely embedded in the flow of knowledge. In order to meet the needs of communication in various fields, the Malay language has absorbed a lot of foreign words through the borrowing process from foreign languages. | ||||

Maka itu, bahasa Melayu yang digunakan dalam era moden ini telah banyak berubah bahanakan perkembangan masyarakatnya yang sama-sama mendayungi arus perkembangan ilmu.

Kepelbagaian Kata-kata dan Istilah Bahasa Melayu di Nusantara | Roksana Bibi Binte Abdullah | Book Chapters | |
| The formulation of terms and the creation of words for any concept or thing and event in the Malay language is based on the efforts of organisations given autonomy by the government in countries that promote the Malay language as the national language and official language. The term created is required to support one concept only and one concept must also have only one term to refer it. The accuracy of terms, as such, facilitates knowledge sharing and dissemination of information. For general words, the control in terms of word creation and the mastery of word meaning is more difficult to implement because of differences in the experiences and way of life of the language users in the different areas. The issue of diversity of words and terms is examined in this study. | ||||
| Penggubalan istilah serta penciptaan kata-kata bagi satu-satu konsep atau benda dan peristiwa dalam bahasa Melayu didasarkan kepada usaha badan-badan yang diberi kuasa autonomi oleh pemerintah dalam negara-negara yang memartabatkan bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa kebangsaan dan bahasa rasmi. Istilah yang dicipta wajiblah mendukung satu konsep sahaja dan satu konsep itu juga wajib mempunyai satu istilah sahaja bagi merujuknya. Ketepatan istilah sebegini memudahkan perkongsian ilmu dan penyebaran maklumat. Bagi kata-kata umum pula, pengawalan dari aspek penciptaan kata serta penempelan makna kata lebih sukar dilakukan kerana perbezaan pengalaman dan cara hidup masyarakat pengguna bahasa di lain-lain kawasan. Isu kepelbagaian kata dan istilah inilah yang dikupas dalam kajian ini. | ||||

| The papers that have been compiled into this book chapter discuss the various terms and words within the Malay language on a regional level. Regional use of BM is becoming increasingly divergent whereby each area that is delineated based on political boundaries has its own words or terms. The efforts to standardise regional language have met many obstacles and challenges. The vocabulary/terminology which has been shaped by regional differences have been listed out and matched with existing alternatives based on components that bear similar meanings. Such deviations can widen the Malay language gap at a regional level and if there are no concerted efforts at standardization, BM speakers in different countries in the region will face problems in communication because there is no element of mutual understanding for this one language. | ||||
| Kertas kerja yang telah dijadikan bab dalam buku ini membicarakan kepelbagaian istilah dan kata dalam bahasa Melayu di peringkat serantau. Penggunaan BM di peringkat serantau semakin menyimpang di mana masing-masing kawasan yang digarisi sempadan politik khususnya mempunyai penggubalan kata atau istilah yang tersendiri. Usaha menyeragamkan di peringkat serantau juga banyak mengalami hambatan dan cabaran. Senarai kata/istilah yang mempunyai kerencaman bentuk di rantau ini telah disenaraikan serta dipadankan dengan alternatif-alternatif yang wujud dengan berdasarkan komponen makna yang didukung. Penyimpangan sedemikian boleh melebarkan lagi jurang perbezaan bahasa Melayu di peringkat serantau dan jika tiada usaha penyeragaman yang bersungguh-sungguh, maka, penutur-penutur BM di negara-negara yang berbeza di rantau ini akan menghadapi masalah dalam komunikasi kerana ketiadaan unsur saling faham memahami bagi bahasa yang satu. | ||||

| The widespread use of Malay language throughout the archipelago has given rise to diversity in the structure of the language itself. The unique environment of each area, in particular, countries that elevate its dignity as a national language and official language have widened its gap in various aspects such as its phonological, morphological and syntactic aspects and its semantic diversity. This divergence with its increased prominence has created specific features for Malay in the countries of the archipelago. The distinctive features of the Malay language that have emerged in Singapore are derived from various aspects of linguistics and are presented in this study. | ||||
| Penggunaan bahasa Melayu dalam kawasan yang luas di seluruh Nusantara telah menimbulkan kepelbagaian dalam bentuk bahasa itu sendiri. Persekitaran yang unik bagi setiap kawasan, khususnya negara yang mengangkat martabatnya sebagai bahasa kebangsaan serta bahasa rasmi telah melebarkan jurang perbezaannya dari pelbagai sudut; seperti aspek fonologinya, aspek morfologinya, aspek sintaksisnya dan juga kepelbagaian semantiknya. Jurang perbezaan yang semakin prominen ini telah menimbulkan fitur-fitur khusus bagi bahasa Melayu di negara-negara di Nusantara. Fitur-fitur distingtif bahasa Melayu yang wujud di Singapura telah dicungkil dari pelabagai aspek linguistik dan dipaparkan dalam kajian ini. | ||||

| Mother Tongue, Heritage Language, First Language and Second Language have their unique and in depth meanings in today’s globalization. In Singapore, we have a special arrangement in our bilingual education. Ideally, a child acquires its first language i.e. its mother tongue, at home and come to the school to learn English. Under our Singapore’s meaningful bilingual policy, a child learns English at School as first language and mother tongue language at second language level. Mother tongue acquisition provides a strong foundation to itself and for the facilitation of English language. It is an additional resource for a child to use its mother tongue language to learn and acquire English. Parents can believe this to introduce mother tongue language and English at home. Without the mother tongue language acquisition, the child will lose its invaluable ancestors’ language and its rich cultural benefits. Outside Tamil Nadu (India) and Sri Lanka Tamil language has its official language status in Singapore along with Chinese, Malay and English. Government continuously supports all of its initiatives towards Tamil. Let us continuously let a Tamil child to acquire its cultural language, that is, its mother tongue language (Tamil) and also to develop its character and confidence. As educators, we can try our best to facilitate them to use Standard Spoken Tamil (Spoken Tamil), create interesting story books and design our lessons based on their interesting topics. In today’s globalization, it is unique and important for a child to know its Mother tongue language to understand its linguistic and cultural features and develop itself as a confident user of its cultural language. And also, to stand on its own without losing the identity. This also provides a great opportunity to be bilingual and a bicultural citizen. | ||||

| Language is an effective tool that aids in expressing intentions, desires and thoughts of humans in many different ways. However, there are some languages in the world that are being used only in the spoken or written form. Languages that exist in both forms are the ones that are regarded exceptional. A dictionary organises the words offered in languages with such qualities in a structured manner and provides meaningful explanations. Dictionary helps to have knowledge on the different forms of words and their various meanings. Dictionary which can be classified as monolingual, bilingual, and multi lingual has many procedures to be compiled and released. When we look at dictionaries used by Singapore schools during examinations, Chinese, Malay and Tamil languages have 46, 8, 6 dictionaries respectively. Besides Tamil Language, the other two languages have electronic dictionaries. This affects Tamil students who are learning the language at a second level. Such conferences would need to research alternative ways to resolve this. Additionally, dictionaries that can be used by students with ease have to be created with code mixing and code switching in languages taken into consideration. | ||||

| In Press | The Traumatic Memory in the Old Style Poems during the 1940 in Singapore (In Press) 《世界华文文学论坛文选》 [Selected Works of World Chinese Literature Forum], Wuhan, China 1940年代《南洋商报》旧体诗中的创伤记忆 | Li Jia | Book Chapters | |
| Nanyang Siang Pau, as the oldest Chinese newspaper in Singapore, published a great number of classical-style poems, of which a substantial portion dealt with the theme of Anti-Japanese War. These poems often displayed a distinctive character of epics and often imitated famous works of the Tang dynasty. Despite being formulaic, they were popular during the tumultuous period as they were easy to understand and to recite. Although the language of some works were straightforward and rough, it truly reflects the traumatic memories in that era. | ||||
| 作为星洲地区最悠久的华文报纸——《南洋商报》在1940年前后刊载了大量旧体诗相当一部分与抗战的内容有关，这些旧体诗歌的出现有着深刻的历史渊源和背景，具有鲜明的时代烙印。这些旧体诗所书写内容集中展现了那个特殊年代的历史、政治以及民生，因此具有鲜明的“诗史”特色；而在诗歌的创作上，常直接模仿盛唐名作，虽有生硬之嫌，但在那个血与火的年代，却以其易于创作、易于激发共鸣、易于理解、易于传唱而受到欢迎。这一时期的旧体诗的语言风格或者戏谑讽刺，或者伤感哀痛，不免有直白、粗糙之病，却真实的反映出人们在那个时代的创伤记忆。 | ||||
| 2020 | The Merits and Mistakes of Zhang Qian and the Entanglement of Dayuan Biography in the Historical Records Journal of Hubei University (Philosophy and Social Science), 47(3), 119-128. 凿空之功与逢君之恶——张骞功过评说与《史记·大宛列传》的若隐不发 | Li Jia | Journal-Refereed | |
| Zhang Qian was mostly praised positively since the Han Dynasty. His perseverance, loyalty to the country and his integrity had made him an outstanding model for his envoys. His first contribution to the development of the Silk Road was praised by future generations. But in fact, Zhang Qian had also drawn criticism from many people. The paper sorts out the comments on Zhang Qian in historical books and literature after the Western Han Dynasty, and then goes back to "Historical Records of Dayuan Biography" in the Shiji to analyze Sima Qian's views on Zhang Qian and his expressions in the book. Sima Qian praised Zhang Qian's conduct as an envoy, affirming the epoch-making significance of "cutting out" the Western Regions; however, he could not understand the importance of war against the Western Regions and the Xiongnu. Therefore, Sima Qian implied his opinions in his historical writing. He satirized insufficient capacity and outrageous statements of Zhang Qian; criticized Emperor Wu of Western Han for starting wars with neighbouring countries. Sima Qian intended to make up for the shortcomings of policies in the unspoken text, and his views also influenced people to judge of Zhang Qian. | ||||
| 自汉迄今对于张骞的功过评价，多以正面褒扬为主，他坚韧不拔、舍生忘死的精神，忠于国家、宽厚诚信的品行，令其成为使臣的杰出楷模；而他凿空西域，开拓丝绸之路的首功，更是为后人所颂扬。但其实张骞也曾招致不少人的批评，指责其逢君之恶、生事劳人。文中梳理了西汉以后史籍和诗文中对于张骞功过两极化的评论，继而上溯到《史记·大宛列传》，分析司马迁对于张骞的看法，以及在书中的表达。本文认为在对于张骞的评价上，展现出司马迁冷静的理性精神与饱满的感性情感间的纠葛。司马迁嘉奖张骞作为使节的品行，肯定其“凿空”西域的划时代意义；但却不赞成或者说无法理解武帝对西域和匈奴战争的重要性。故而司马迁在微言中寄寓“大义”，在客观记史之中，委婉表达对于张骞其人和开通西域诸事的主观感受，讽刺其才具不多，任意妄言；批评张骞为谋个人私利，挑动武帝通大夏、攻大宛，导致国家虚耗、民怨沸腾。司马迁在若隐不发的文字中，意欲“补弊起废”，而其看法亦造成了后人对于张骞的褒贬评价。 | ||||

| In 1937, Japan brazenly began her full-scale invasion of China. This heralded the start of the Second World War in Asia. Before the outbreak of the war, the Nanyang poetry circle had faithfully reflected the various social conflicts that were hidden beneath the peaceful surface. In particular, poets had written about the conflicts between ethnicities, labour and management, the identity as an overseas Chinese and the local consciousness of being a Malayan Chinese, as well as that between the May Fourth New Thought movement and backward feudal thoughts. Researching on the new poetry published in the Nanyang Siang Pau during the 1930s, this writer has used the analysis method of socio-historical criticism as well as a "historical poem" perspective that integrates history into the study of literature to analyse the realistic contradictions that are reflected in these new poems and the resulting multi-cultural mentality. At the same time, this writer will also explore the connection between the Nanyang poetry circle and China’s May Fourth New Literature Movement so as to point out that the former was the inheritor and weapon used by the latter to rescue society via literature. | ||||
| 1937年日本悍然发动全面侵略中国的战争，从而拉开了第二次世界大战在亚洲的序幕。战争爆发之前，南洋诗坛对于当时隐伏在平静表面下的各种社会矛盾都有着忠实的反映。特别是民族矛盾、劳资矛盾、侨民意识与马华本土性意识之间的观念冲突、五四新思潮与落后封建思想间的矛盾，都有诗人付诸笔端予以表现,而以民族和阶级矛盾占主要篇幅。笔者从《南洋商报》1930年代所刊载的新诗入手，运用社会历史批评的分析方式，同时以“诗史”为角度，将历史融入到文学的研究范畴，分析这些新诗中所反映出的现实矛盾以及由此带来的多元社会心态。与此同时探讨南洋文坛与中国五四新文学之间的联系，说明当时南洋文坛正是继承了五四思想解放的武器，以文学的形式对现实社会进行反戈一击。 | ||||

| Among the Chinese intellectuals who moved overseas, Khoo Seok Wan was a poet who dedicated his hard work to classical Chinese poetry. He was hailed as "A Master Poet of the South" and was rich in creative works. Khoo Seok Wan’s classical Chinese poetry have always kept a focus on Chinese politics and livelihood, expressed deep national feelings, chanted home culture, and integrated a large number of classical allusion into his writing. Khoo Seok Wan often came into contact with many new things, the fresh words in the poems and the extraterritorial vision show unique characteristics; in addition, he also had a lot of poems with the local characteristics of Nanyang. His poems showed a collision of the traditional style of classical Chinese poetry and the modern Nanyang society, and indicated the vitality and tolerance of traditional literary forms in a foreign country. | ||||
| 在移居海外的华人知识分子中，丘菽园是于旧体诗致力甚勤的一位诗人，被誉为“南国诗宗”，创作丰富。丘菽园的旧体诗中始终保持着对中国政治民生的关注，表达出深沉的故国情思，不断歌咏家乡风物，更将大量的语典、事典融入诗歌的写作之中；由于侨居南洋，丘氏常常接触到不少新生事物，诗中的新鲜语汇与域外视野呈现出别具一格的特色；此外丘氏还有不少具有南洋在地特征的诗篇，这些都显示了传统的旧体诗文学样式与近现代文化碰撞的痕迹，彰显出传统文学形式在异域的生命力和包容性。 | ||||

Journal of Anhui University (Philosophy and Social Sciences Edition), 43(4), 43-49. 《文选》“难”体与先秦“语”体 | Li Jia | Journal-Refereed | |
| The literary styles of Nan, Duiwen and Shelun in Wenxuan have always been different in their styles, characteristics and sources. By discussing the characteristics of form, content, structure and nature in the article "Nan Shu Fu lao", this paper points out that the Nan has the characteristics of the pre-Qin Yu style: the form of questioning, the content of the politics, and the purpose of argumentation and the relatively divided genres of writing system are derived from the Yu style. At the same time, this article points out that "Nan Shu Fu lao" has made a breakthrough in the design of the characters on both sides of the dialogue, and explains its significance. In addition, through comparative analysis of the stylistic features of "Dui Chu Wang Wen", "Da Ke Nan", "Jie Chao", and "Da Bin Xin", it points out that the pre-Qin Yu style was the origin of the Dui Wen and She Lun. The paper also specifically analyses Dui Wen and She Lun’s new stylistic features in the Han and Wei Dynasties. | ||||
| 《文选》中的“难”、“对问”、“设论”，历来对其文体分类、特征及其文体来源众说纷纭莫衷一是。本文通过讨论《难蜀父老》一文在形式、内容、结构、性质等方面的特点，指出“难”体具备先秦“语”体的特征：即对问的形式、有关国家政治的内容，强烈的议论说理的目的，以及相对类型化的写作体制，其文体当来源自“语”体。同时，本文指出《难蜀父老》在对话双方人物的设置方面，较“语”体有所突破并说明其意义。此外，通过比较分析《对楚王问》、《答客难》、《解嘲》、《答宾戏》的文体特点，指出先秦“语”体当与“对问”“设论”都有源流关系，并具体分析其在汉魏六朝所展现出的新文体特征。 | ||||
| 2019 | Research on Ouyang Xiu in European and American Sinology from the Perspective of Literary Studies International Sinology Journal 从文学角度谈欧美汉学界的欧阳修研究 国际汉学 | Wang Bing | Journal-Refereed | |
| In view of Ouyang Xiu’s tremendous achievements in the fields of Chinese literature, history and philosophy in Northern Song China, a group of renowned sinologists from Europe and America, such as James T. C. Liu, James J. Y. Liu, Yu-shih Chen, Peter K. Bol, Ronald C. Egan, and Richard L. Davis, have conducted a series of comprehensive or detailed studies, based on the translation and introduction of Ouyang Xiu’s various works. This article attempts to sort out and analyze the achievements of research on Ouyang Xiu with a focus on the literary studies in European and American Sinology from the two aspects of research content and characteristics. Generally speaking, the overall study of Ouyang Xiu by the European and American scholars mainly focuses on his political, ideological and literary achievements and the relationships among the three. Some of the research on Ouyang Xiu puts particular emphasis on the field of literature, including literary theory and literary genres. Meanwhile, European and American scholars clearly show the special characteristics of emphasizing translation, text and various details in Ouyang Xiu’s studies. | ||||
| 鉴于欧阳修在中国文学、史学、经学等多个领域取得的巨大成就，欧美汉学界在译介其各类作品的同时，也展开了一系列或全面或细部的研究，并涌现出了一大批成果丰硕的知名学者。本文尝试以文学研究为中心，从研究内容和研究特色两个层面来梳理和评析欧美汉学界的欧阳修研究的成果。概括而言，欧美学者对于欧阳修的整体研究主要关注其政治、思想和文学成就以及三者之间的关系；局部性的研究则以文学领域为主，包括文学理论及诗、词、文、赋诸文体。另外，欧美学者在欧阳修研究中鲜明地体现出重翻译、重文本和重细节的特点。 | ||||
| 2019 | Modern Chinese Newspapers and Pre-war Han Poetry in Singapore and Malaya Sino-Hamanitas Journal 近现代报刊传媒与战前新马汉诗 人文中国学报 | Wang Bing | Journal-Refereed | |
| Han poetry (classical Chinese poetry) did not enter the sphere of the general public until the publication of Malaya's first newspaper, Lat Pau, in 1881. In the 60 years of its publication history, from 1881 to late 1941 before the downfall of Singapore and Malaya, the Lat Pau witnessed a rapid, robust development of Chinese newspapers. Following this were the respective debuts of more than 20 newspapers, such as Penang Sin Poe, Sing Po, Thien Nan Shin Pao, Jit Shin Pao, Union Times, Chong Shing Yit Pao, Nanyang Siang Pau, and Sin Chew Jit Poh. These newspapers became important for the circulation of classical poetry, as some of them published poems on a periodic basis and some daily. Therefore, the status of Chinese journals and newspapers and preferences of the editors were decisive factors in the development of Malayan Han poetry. Meanwhile, the “new-style poetry” that emerged at this time may be seen as products of Chinese newspapers published at this time. Furthermore, the significance of publishing classical Chinese poetry in modern newspapers lies not only in the provision of communication channels and the preservation of original materials, but, more importantly, they brought the poets’ creative works from a “private sphere” to the “public space,” and thereby conveyed to the reader the values of aesthetic appreciation, cultural reproduction, and social and political participation. | ||||
| 在1881年《叻报》创办之前，新加坡和马来西亚的汉诗创作无法进入公衆的视野。而在《叻报》创立至1941年底新马沦陷前的60年间，新马中文报纸的发展异常迅猛，陆续诞生的报纸计有《槟城新报》、《星报》、《天南新报》、《日新报》、《总汇新报》、《中兴日报》、《南洋商报》、《星洲日报》等二十馀种。这些华文报纸，几乎每一种都定期或不定期地登载旧体诗。因此，华文报刊的定位、副刊主编的喜好等也会影响到新马汉诗的发展。同时，新马地区这一时期出现的“新派诗”亦可视爲这一传播载体影响下的産物。另外，就华文报刊对于传统汉诗发展的意义而言，近现代华文报刊登载汉诗的意义不仅仅局限于提供传播渠道和保存原始史料，更爲深层的价值在于诗人的创作成果从“私人领域”进入了“公共空间”，从而实现向广大读者传达审美欣赏、文化再现和社会政治参与等层面的价值。 | ||||

| This study aims to show the resonance of prominent literary man Su Shi with another literary man Tao Yuanming – a recluse of the Jin Dynesty through their poems of similar themes. Appreciating Tao, however, Su Shi never ended up becoming a true recluse. This illustrates that the intellectual bearings of people from the past may only be achieved spiritually but cannot be emulated in exact actions. Even if Su Shi yearned for the action, all he could do was to stand at his time and connect spiritually according to his own personal demeanors. One may say that Su Shi has completed his dialogue and echoing with Tao Qian in his own unique poems. | ||||
| 苏轼一生，从屈子的忠君爱国、身殉“美政”，到陶潜的“归去来兮”，“开荒南野，守拙归园田”，在田园中实现与物圆融，在浊酒杯中领悟人生奥妙，再到后来的本色澄清，恰恰经历了一个巨大的自省反思与回归之路。 苏轼曾象征性地说：“醒来知何处，归路老更迷。”也对其他归去方式的羡慕：如脱离生死的“大士”或羽化飞升的“神仙”。直至晚年他还在说：“可怜倦鸟不知时，空羡骑鲸得所归”。这似可看作苏轼对于自己终生意欲归返，企慕“大士”，却不能彻底实现的一种叹惋表达。虽说苏轼终未实现陶渊明式的“归去”，但“九死南荒吾不恨”，“有甚么歇不得处”，至“如挂钩之鱼”“忽得解脱”——这也许恰恰就是他的独特的“无家安住”的不归之归。 | ||||

| Hereditary Houses of the State of Zheng in Shiji, which was written by Sima Qian based on Zuozhuan, Guoyu and other historical materials. This paper will analyse how Sima Qian chose and edited the historical materials and compare the different points of view on the narration of fighting for the throne between Duke Zhao and Li by close reading of relevant paragraphs in Zuozhuan and Shiji. The paper will also explore how Sima Qian expressed what he thought of this historical event euphemistically but unambiguously. Although Sima Qian was a scholar of the Gongyang school of thought, it is clear that he had his own views. Zhai Zhong, the powerful and imperious official, must bear the primary responsibility to the increasing instability in the State of Zheng. | ||||
| 司马迁在充分占有史料的基础上，通过多种的叙事策略传达自己对于历史的理解和认识。本文即以春秋时期郑国所发生的“昭厉之争”为例，通过对比《史记·郑世家》与《左传》的相关叙事，探讨太史公是如何将史料化繁为简，有意淡化昭公的历史作用；同时运用欲扬先抑和互见等手法突出祭仲对郑国历史的突出影响，从而含蓄而又明确的提出自己对于庄公死后，郑国政治板荡、国势的衰落原因的真知灼见，构建起一个与《左传》不同的历史世界。同时，司马迁的这种看法亦有别于当时公羊派学者的普遍认识，彰显出作为一名有独立思想史学家的卓越史识。 | ||||

| During the 1930s in Nanyang, there was a large group of literati active within the print media industry who aspired to improve their lives or to enlighten their fellow citizens. Others held hopes of igniting a wave of revolution. However, as such wishes and hopes went unfulfilled, it resulted in seeds of anxiety which explicitly or implicitly appeared in their writings. This commentary will consider the proses published within the supplements of the Nangyang Siang Pau to analyse the reasons behind the characterisation for such writings of anxiety. Through such analysis, one hopes to verify the interactivity and continuity between Nanyang literature and China literature. | ||||
| 1930年代的南洋有一大批活跃在报刊杂志上的知识分子，希望改善生活的样貌，有的人怀抱着着启蒙国人的愿望，有的人则期望掀起一场革命的热潮，但以上种种愿望和诉求在现实中都遭受挫折，因而在其创作中都或明或暗的透露出焦虑的情绪因子。本文以《南洋商报》副刊中所载的散文为研究对象，对其焦虑书写的原因和表征做出分析，侧面验证南洋文学与中国文学在历史潜流中的互动性和承继性。 | ||||

| 2018 | On the Classical Chinese Poets in the Pre-War Singapore Thong Chai Medical Institution Research of Chinese Literature Journal 战前新加坡同济医院旧体诗人群像考 中国文学研究 | Wang Bing | Journal-Refereed | |
| Most of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners in the Singapore Thong Chai Medical Institution before 1941 were both well-skilled in therapy and proficient at poetry writing, who were an important part of literati group in early Singapore. Among them, Li Bogai, Hu Youting, Liang Rushan and Yan Yiyuan, who were four members of Singapore Tan Club founded by Qiu Shuyuan, were good at different style of writing, apart from the responsorial and presenting poems. Yan Fengqi and Liang Shaoshan were concerned about the current affairs of the motherland, and used their poems to record history. These Confucian TCM practitioners expanded the cultural space of the early Chinese ethnic groups in Singapore during the period of communications with other professional poets. Therefore, their poems played an indispensable role in the history of classical Chinese poetry in Singapore. | ||||

| 2017 | Classical Chinese Poetry in Singapore: A Perspective of Sinophone Literature Monumenta Serica: Journal of Oriental Studies [Germany] Journal 华语语系视野下的新加坡华文旧体诗 | Wang Bing | Journal-Refereed | |
| The evolution of classical Chinese poetry in Singapore (CCPS) is closely related to the immigration experience of Chinese intellectuals in various periods. The travelogues of the foreign trips by Chinese officials dispatched to Singapore in the late Qing Dynasty, such as Zuo Binglong and Huang Zunxian, focused on the depiction of exotic landscapes and aimed to opening up horizons. The poems written by Khoo Seok Wan and Pan Shou, and numerous works published in local newspapers from pre-war to 1970s represented the highest achievement of the characteristically Singaporean poetry. The new type of poetry writing reflected on the “Xin Sheng Poetry Society” and poetic columns online had the characteristics of diversity in the way of communication and poetic theme, as well as uneven quality of creation. This paper attempts to present the different stages of CCPS and its characteristics in the past one hundred years from the perspective of Sinophone literature. | ||||
| 新加坡华文旧体诗的发展，与各个时期华人知识份子的南洋体验密切相关。早期晚清出使星洲的官员左秉隆、黄遵宪等的海外纪游作品，大都集中于异域世界的描绘，旨在开阔视野，拓展诗境；战前到独立建国（1965）前后流寓南洋的文人邱菽园、潘受等的旧体诗创作及不同时期报章副刊的旧体诗创作，则代表了新加坡华文旧体诗本土化创作的最高成就；1980年代以来的「新声诗社」和网络专栏的新型书写，既有传播方式多元化、歌咏主题多样性的特点，也存在着创作水准参差不齐的隐忧。本文意在简要梳理新加坡华文旧体诗发展脉络的基础上，合理运用华语语系文学这一新概念，探讨新加坡华文旧体诗的文学归属，并在新框架观照下抉发出新加坡不同时期华文旧体诗创作的主导特征。 | ||||
| 2017 | Cultural Space and Elite Network in Early Singapore: On Four Talents of Sin Chew Asian Culture [Singapore] 早期新加坡的文化空间和精英网络：以星洲四才子为例 | Wang Bing | Scholarly Book (Refereed) | |
| Developing cultural space in Singapore was not an easy task, as it was a two-tier society that focuses on commerce and trading. On one hand, its development was restricted by the low literacy rate of the early Chinese immigrants. Therefore, the visiting literati played an important role in the local literary scene. On the other hand, the main drivers behind this development were the Chinese intellectuals who decided to call Singapore home. This article argues that the Four Talents—Ye Jiyun 叶季允(1859-1921), Shi Ruiyu 释瑞于(1867-1953), Khoo Seok Wan 邱菽园(1874-1941),and Lee Choon Seng 李俊承(1888-1966)—were in line with the above two conditions, and played very important role in their respective main areas. What is even more commendable is that their common literary attainments had greatly contributed to the expansion of local cultural space and social networks. In contrast to China, where literature was an essential tool for officialdom, literature in Singapore was more of a hobby and a means of emotional expressions. Hence, writers of classical Chinese poetry came from all walks of life and of all ages; they could be old-style literati, teachers, businessmen, labours, clerks, doctors, and even monks. This complex personnel structure was bound to require the elite group for making a distinction. | ||||
| 在专注于商业与贸易的两极社会——新加坡，拓展文化空间并非易事。一方面，它的发展受到早期中国移民识字率低的制约。因此，那些过客文人在当地文学界起着重要的作用。另一方面，推动本地文化发展的主要力量是那些真正在新加坡落地生根的中国知识分子。本文认为，叶季允（1859-1921），释瑞于（1867-1953），邱菽园（1874-1941）和李俊承（1888-1966）符合以上两个条件，且在各自的主要领域中扮演着非常重要的角色。更值得称赞的是，他们共同的文学素养极大地促进了当地文化空间和社会网络的发展。与中国将文学视为晋升官场的工具不同，文学在新加坡则更多是一种业余爱好和一种情感表达方式。因此，华文旧体诗的作者来自各行各业。他们可能是旧式文人，教师，商人，劳工，文员，医生，甚至是僧侣。这种复杂的人员结构一定会造就一些脱颖而出的精英团体。 | ||||

| As the essence of Chinese traditional culture, classical Chinese poetry in Singapore played a very important role in the social and cultural development of Singapore’s Chinese community. Numerous poems depicted the unique scenery of tropical rainforest and the customs with a Nanyang flavor, recorded the various historical events from the colonial era, the World War II to the independent nation, and reflected the poets’ multiple feelings. This book sketches out the brief history of classical Chinese poetry in Singapore over a hundred years, and focuses on the complex identity of poets from different generations, the function of literary societies in the construction of cultural space and the influence of modern media on the development of classical Chinese poetry based on the text interpretation. In addition, the author attempts to define different types of poetry writing using diaspora literature and Sinophone literature. The discussion of these topics will not only expand the research horizon of Chinese literature, but also provide a meaningful reference to the studies of the worldwide Chinese overseas, especially in Southeast Asia. | ||||
| 作为中国传统文化的精髓，新加坡的华文旧体诗在新加坡华人社群的社会文化发展中扮演着非常重要的角色。许多诗歌描绘了热带雨林和南洋风情的独特风光，记录了从殖民时代，第二次世界大战到国家独立的各种历史事件，并反映了诗人的多重情感。本书概述了新加坡华文旧体诗的百年发展史，并在文本阐释的基础上着重介绍了不同世代诗人复杂的身份认同，文学团体在文化空间建设中的作用以及现代媒体对旧体诗发展的影响。此外，作者试图用离散文学和华语语系文学来界定不同类型的诗歌创作。这些话题的讨论，不仅将拓宽中国文学的研究视野，而且还将为世界范围内尤其是东南亚华人的研究提供有意义的参考。 | ||||

Paper presented at 226th Annual Meeting of the American Oriental Society, Boston, United States. 杜甫1940年代的追随者——新加坡诗人潘受的反法西斯旧体诗创作 | Li Jia | Conference Presentations(without publication) | |
| Chinese literature in Singapore and Malaysia was already burgeoning back in the 1930s, when there was much emphasis on the local flavor. The invasion of China by Japanese troops in 1937 however, caused much concern among overseas Chinese for their land of origin, as well as worry for the safety of family and friends left behind, sparking off a certain sense of ethnic nationalism. This manifested as an ‘anti-invasion’ theme, and this became the dominant voice among different forms of writings during this period. Worries for the situation turned into a longing for freedom and justice among Chinese writers in Singapore. Pan Shou was famous as one of them. Under the ideological trend mentioned above, in 1940s he traveled in China from the South to the North and wrote hundreds of classical poems. For the first time, this paper seeks to scrutinise those poems through close reading. Firstly, Pan Shou inherited Tang poet Du Fu’s spirit of poetic history to record the chaos caused by War, his concern with ethnic nationalism and anti-fascist mood through the classical poem writing. Secondly, Allusions in Shiji and Hanshu which had a close connection with the ‘anti- invasion’ theme frequently appeared in his works. Thirdly, Pan Shou was used to writing in the long “gexing” style; the form of “jidushi”, collection Du-Fu’s poems), and the form of “tihuashi” (poems on paintings). | ||||
| 上世纪30年代起，新马文学逐渐呈现出繁荣的景象，而1937年日本侵华，则在相当程度上刺激了星华作家的民族意识和在地意识。担忧故土家园、思念亲人安危，直接转化为“反侵略”的主题，而从中国南来避难的文人则无疑对这种思潮发挥了推波助澜的作用，激发了他们对自由和正义的渴望，因而出现了大量抗战救亡的作品。潘受是其中特别著名的一位，1940年代他足迹踏遍中国的大江南北，写下了上百首旧体诗。本文通过文本细读后的研讨，得出以下结论：首先，同样处于国破家亡之际，潘诗继承了唐代杜甫诗史的现实主义创作精神，他的诗歌忧国忧民，充满了爱国主义和反侵略的主题。其次，如同杜诗，潘受在其作品中大量引用《史记》、《汉书》中的典故；第三，潘受模仿杜甫写作了许多长篇歌行体和题画诗诗歌，并且写作了大量集杜诗，从中均可看出其对杜甫的私淑和追随。 | ||||

| Chinese narrative tradition dates back to the Pre-Qin Period, and very often, such early historical prose employs a distinct narrative style. Amongst them, Zuozhuan is representative of the “chronological narrative” style, and Guoyu is representative of the “locality-based narrative” style. This paper seeks to analyse the narrative of “Wu-Yue rivalry” in the two texts from a narratological point of view, to understand how the two narrative styles influenced the plot development, characterisation, narrator perspective and significance, and narrative characteristics. | ||||
| 中国叙事传统形成可以上溯到先秦时期，早期的历史散文往往具有鲜明的叙事特质。《左传》是“依时叙事”的代表、《国语》则为“依地叙事”的代表。本文由叙事学角度切入，以上述文献中载述“吴越相争”的历史事件为例，探讨在这两种叙述体式框架之下，对情节重心、人物形象、叙事者观点以及叙事意义、叙事特色，所产生的决定性影响。 | ||||

Newcastle upon Tyne: Cambridge Scholars Publishing. 诗歌中的不规则体系构建：北岛，杨炼和多多 | Tan Chee Lay | University Textbooks or Professional Books | |
| This book investigates the poetics of three of the most internationally contemporary Chinese poets – Bei Dao, Yang Lian and Duoduo – who were all exiled from China after the 1989 Tiananmen student movement. Their poetry was later to be labelled ‘Misty Poem’ (Menglongshi). This book examines three aspects of the ‘Mistiness’ of the poets’ oeuvre: the socio-historic background where Misty poets live and write; imagery; and linguistic elements. After first identifying the roots of Mistiness, this book identifies imagistic and linguistic clues in order to construct a hermeneutical system that examines the irregularities of the Misty poetics and appreciates the polysemy of the poets’ works. The poem’s evocativeness is unveiled and the irregularity of the poetry’s Mistiness is established as its most powerful linguistic and imagistic aspect. The book then places the three poet’s different misty characteristics into contrast: Bei Deo’s twisted imagery and elliptical syntax, Yang’s imagery in a classically-inspired syntax, and Duoduo’s integration of images into a rhythmic syntax. | ||||
| 本书以三位国际知名的中国诗人北岛，杨炼以及多多的作品集为研究对象。这三位诗人均于1989年天安门事件后流落异国， 其诗作后被称为“朦胧诗”。本书从三个角度考察他们的作品中的“模糊性”， 这三个角度分别是：朦胧诗人生活以及写作的社会历史背景；意象；以及语言要素。本书首先识别出模糊性的根源，然后辨别意向及语言中的线索，从而构造出可用来赏析朦胧诗作中的不规则现象以及一词多义现象的注释系统。回忆在诗作中被唤醒，朦胧中蕴含的不规则性被塑造，成为诗作中最有力的语言与意向角度。这本书随之将三位诗人不同的朦胧特点加以比对：北岛诗作中扭曲的意向和简略的句法，杨炼诗作中启迪于经典的意向和句法，以及多多诗作中意向与韵律句法的结合。 | ||||
| 2016 | Textual Research on Three Rare Community Anthologies of Early Qing Ming-Qing Literature and Documents Vol.5 明清文学与文献第五辑，页38-48 稀见清初社群诗选三种叙录 | Wang Bing | Book Chapters | |
| Compiling the contemporary poetry anthology was quite popular during the Ming-Qing transition, especially regional anthology and group anthology. However, after lots of poetry anthologies banned by the Qing government, many became scattered and incomplete, so current researchers would find it difficult to see the whole picture. In recent years, despite series of discarded or banned by the compilers of the Complete Works of Chinese Classics and scholars’ study have collected more, there are still some poetry anthologies shelved on the library or even become the only existing copy, difficult to be seen by ordinary scholar. Now I will share three rare community anthologies of early Qing seen to academic colleagues according to the inscribed chronologically, followed by featuring the editors, records, versions, collection place, prefaces and postscripts, and slight comment. | ||||

| 2016 | Quasi-Scholar Groups in Establishing Cultural Space of Early Singapore Overseas Chinese History Studies Journal 类士群体与新加坡早期文化空间的初创 华侨华人历史研究 | Wang Bing | Journal-Refereed | |
| The vast majority of immigrants living in the Chinese community of Singapore were not well educated during the late 19th and early 20th century. Hence, Chinese Consuls—Zuo Binglong and Huang Zunxian—successively founded many literary societies to promote the learning of literature. Khoo Seok Wan, who was one of Singapore’s literary pioneers, used his own newspaper and strong financial resources to establish literary societies and hold various activities for enhancing cultural atmosphere. Meanwhile, Nanyang tourism of other celebrities, such as Wei Zhusheng, Qiu Fengjia and Kang Youwei, participated in the construction of local cultural space in a certain extent. Therefore, all kinds of literary activities shaped a group of quasi-scholars who were similar to traditional scholars, and initially created cultural space in early Singapore. | ||||
| 19世纪末至20世纪初，新加坡华人社群的文化素养普遍不高。左秉隆、黄遵宪等驻新领事先后创办诗文社团，对华侨民众进行文学教化；流寓星洲的文化名人邱菽园，亦藉自办报纸和雄厚财力之便，创设文学社团，举办多种文学活动，营造文化氛围；另外，卫铸生、丘逢甲、康有为等名士的南洋之行也在某种程度上参与了新加坡早期文化空间的构建。当然，诸种文学活动和创作实践也造就了一批类似于中国传统文士的知识精英阶层，初步开创了新加坡早期的文化空间。 | ||||

| In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, it was a common practice to collect and publish the contemporaries’ poems, but such collections rarely left. Now according to relevant historical documents, this paper tries to examine a part of contemporaries’ poetic anthologies such as Shenting ji by Chen Hongxu, Shi biao by Xu Zeng, Jingyin pian by Wu Zongqian, Suihan ji by Wu Zonghan, Shi yu by Gong Xian and Shi feng chuxuan by Ye An, hoping to cast light on the living circumstance of the literati at that time. | ||||

| Zhou Jing (Courtesy name Yuxun, Pseudonym Xiangshan) was born in Shangyuan county in Jiangning prefecture in the sixth year of Tianqi Reign (1626). According to the inference of academic circles, the date of his death should be after the forty-second year of Kangxi Reign (1703). He was very active in the circle of Jinling literati in late Ming and early Qing dynasty, because he was proficient in literary creation and medical skills, fond of sociality and career as an advisor of local officials or literary selector. Existing books included two selected works (Jindai shichao and Xiangshan jinchao chidu xiaopin) which both attached his poems and proses, and two medical books (Yilin shengmo daquan and Huoyou xinfa daquan) which both adapted from the previous medicine literature of others. Owing to the lack of literature, there were many mistakes in the review on Zhou Jing by researchers since the Qing dynasty. This paper will aim to restore living circumstance of ordinary literati around the middle of the seventeenth century by way of analyzing his life, works and career. | ||||

| 2016 | The Boxue Hongci Examinations, Literary Anthologies by Emperors and the Literary Circles during the Kangxi and Qianlong Periods Ming Qing yanjiu [Italy] Journal 康熙、乾隆时期的博学鸿词、御选本与文坛 | Wang Bing | Journal-Refereed | |
| As a result of political demands and imperial cultural cultivation, the Qing Dynasty reigns of Kangxi (1661–1722) and Qianlong (1736–1796) both paid great attention to the traditional Han culture. During these periods, two landmark events embodied the success of their cultural policy. These were the special examinations of boxue hongci (“breadth in learning and vastness in letters”, also called boxue hongru) in 1679 and 1736, and the publishing of numerous literary anthologies by the emperors. However, scholarly discussions have often focused mainly on aspects of political and cultural domination, and have rarely discussed the impact of these two events on literary circles in the early and middle Qing Dynasty. Thus, this paper examines the boxue hongci examination and the literary anthologies by Emperors as literary events and evaluate them from three perspectives. First, with regards to literary purposes, these two events fostered the link between official and elite discourses. Second, concerning literary styles, these two events together facilitated the emergence at the height of the Qing Dynasty styles known as qingzhen yazheng (“purity, authenticity, elegance and correctness”) and wenrou dunhou (“gentleness and restraint”). Third, with regards to literary layout, the two events changed the proportion of writers’ identity and actively advanced the balance of the north and south literary circles. | ||||
| 出于政治统治的需要，加之帝王个人的文化修养，清代康雍乾三朝皆採取“稽古右文”之文治政策。其中，康熙十八年、乾隆元年、二年开考的博学鸿词科以及大量钦定、御选文学总集的编辑出版可谓反映清初文治实绩的标志性事件。可惜的是，长期以来学界对于二者的讨论仍局限于政治和文化统治层面，较少关注这两起事件对于清初文坛带来的深远影响。本文则将博学鸿词科和御选文学总集视为文学事件，从三个角度来评估它们的价值。1）就文学意图而言，两起事件初步达成了官方意识形态话语与知识精英话语的共谋；2）就文学风格而言，两起事件共同推进了“清真雅正”、“温柔敦厚”之盛世文风的形成；3）就文学格局而言，两起事件改变了创作群体的身份比例，积极推动了京城与江南文学圈“南北并峙”态势的形成。 | ||||

| Su Shi's first remote trip of exile was to Huangzhou, Hubei. This post carried a nominal title, but no stipend, leaving Su in poverty. During this exile period, he got some Buddhist friends and began his Buddhist meditation. Four years later, Su was transferred to Ruzhou, which was considered a better place. Before reaching the post, Su visited Mt. Lushan and wrote some poems that carried insightful Zen Buddhist thinking. In this study, I shall analyze these poems with a focus on Su Shi’s Zen thinking and his enlightenment. | ||||
| 元丰三年（1080）到元丰七年（1084），苏轼经历了乌台诗案后被贬黄州，又由黄州贬所“量移”汝州。经过一番痛苦的历练，对苏轼身心的震撼是不言而喻的。而痛定之后，随之而来的是对仕宦之途的反思和对人生、对生命的多方思考。本文以苏轼游历庐山的诗作为主轴，对其具禅悟特点的几首诗歌进行分析，概括苏轼禅悟的历程，梳理其禅悟的时代与个人因素的关系，进而得出结论：苏轼正是通过多方禅悟消解困境，养性安心，他“奇崛”的人生经历最终玉成了他“此心安处是吾乡”的了悟。 [关键词] 苏轼；庐山；人生求索；禅悟；此心安处 | ||||

| This book researched on Guoyu comprehensively and systematically from catalog, edition, compilation, structural patterns, writing characteristics, and etc. The book firstly clarified the history of carving, revision and spread of the Gongxu edition in the Song, Ming and Qing periods and comments on the value of the Jinli’s Zeyuantang edition. Guoyu has many issues of disagreement and controversy; the book reviewed the compilation, the specific purpose and the nature of Guoyu, and drew new conclusions, thus revealing the important position of Guoyu in the early Chinese Classical Studies and historiography. In addition, the book focused on the characteristics of the Yu, and placed it under the background of the development of the pre-Qin Yu ti, thus opening up the significance of its stylistic research. | ||||

| There has been a lot of debate on Guoyu’s nature, and this paper criticises the opinions of “Guobieshi” (history of the States) , “ziliao huibian” (compilation of materials), affirms the rationalities of the opinions of “yushu” (discourses of the States) and “waizhuan” (informal commentary). This paper shares the following views. 1) Although Guoyu kept much rare historical records, it did not record real history on purpose. 2) It adopted conversations to compile the book, but Yu was not the compiling purpose. 3) Guoyu had a close relationship with Chunqiu, and the former did not interpret Chunqiu literally, but it protected virtue and fought vice and promoted the principle of Chunqiu, so it could be regarded as a book of Confucianism to spread the principle. | ||||
| 对于《国语》的性质，历来众说纷纭，莫衷一是。 通过对“国别史”说、“数据汇编说”、“语书”说以及“外传”说进行梳理与辨析，本文认为《国语》虽然在客观上保存了许多珍贵的史料，却并非以实录历史为目的；采用对话的方式编写；但记“语”却并非编纂意图；《国语》与《春秋》关系密切，虽不从文字上解经，却有褒善贬恶、弘扬《春秋》大义的用心，可谓“传义”的儒学化典籍。 | ||||

First, with migration of some modern scholars, Classical Chinese poetic criticism gradually gained its roots in Southeast Asia. Second, Yi has shown in-depth research on poetic works from the late Qing to early Republic period. Third, Yi’s poetic thought reflected in his comment on other poets’ works. | ||||

| Addition to the well-known ancient-style prose writer and translator of Western fiction, Lin Shu’s achievements included two dozen anthologies, all of which were full of commentary. On the editing motivations, there were commercial interests from the publishing industry especially the Commercial Press and large demand of textbooks brought by new educational system, besides Lin’s attempt to save ancient-style prose by anthologies. On the criticism of anthologies, Lin’s anthology series were two features with increasingly obvious literary concepts and, diverse and systematic practice of the commentary. Obviously, Lin’s self-image as an anthologist and reviewer was shaped by his numerous editing practices from the late Qing to early Republic period. | ||||
| 林纾的成就除了众所周知的古文创作与小说翻译之外，尚有二十余部古文选本存世，且皆有评注。就编选动因而言，林纾系列选本除了力延古文之一线以外，也有清末出版业尤其是商务印书馆的商业考量，以及新式教育下教材热的积极推动；就选本批评而言，古文观念的融隐入显与评点实践的多元、系统为其主要特征。显然，在清末民初的选本热潮中，林纾凭借大量的编选实践又为自己塑造了一个选评家的角色。 | ||||

| Flowers in the Mirror contributes to the longing for ideal land in the end of the Qing dynasty that cultivated the traditional utopian thinking. The author's ideal society is expressed through the "ComityA of Nation". The name itself in Chinese, junzi, and is originally from Confucius tradition which means a person of noble character and integrity. Figment of the author's imagination, there is no putridity; no bribes between officials; citizens are all good-natured and live a joyful life under a steady and rich government. Gulliver's Travels examines human nature through a misanthropic lens and through satire examines the changes English society was undergoing. The tale depicts the journey of Lemuel Gulliver, an Englishman, and his peculiar encounters. However, after all the adventurous experience, he is finally able to return to his home in England where he recovers from these unusual experience and however sets again on a new voyage. | ||||
| 清代李汝珍（约1763-1830）的长篇游记小说《镜花缘》以唐武则天时代为叙事背景，描述了唐敖等人游历海外三十余国的奇异经历，也叙写了百花仙子及群芳因过被贬红尘，最终返本归原的故事。此小说思想新颖，想象丰富，充满机智。作者继承《山海经》的描绘，凭借丰富的学识，并以幽默、夸张的手法走笔，不仅寄寓了作者对幸福乐土、理想地域的探寻和构想，也折射出中华文化思维方面的一些特点。 十八世纪英国作家斯威夫特（Jonathan Swift（1667—1745）的《格列佛游记》（Gulliver's Travels）也是一部游记体小说。作品通过主人公离奇的经历和遭遇，辛辣地嘲讽了英国当时的社会政治，统治集团的昏庸，学术的荒谬，以及殖民战争的残酷暴戾等怪异的社会现实，其中也寄寓了作者对理想社会的求索。 上述两部小说，产生的地域不同，时间相距近百年，在东西方都拥有大量的读者群。本文尝试从作者不同的时代及思想文化背景出发，通过对比这两部小说于幸福地域的探寻，找出东西方文化与思维方式上的一些特点和差异。 | ||||

| Wang Fuzhi is regarded as one of the most sophisticated original minds in the history of Chinese thought. He is also considered the prominent figure of the Chinese culture. His commentaries and other writings on topics such as cosmology and poetics have fascinated readers of all kinds. In his poetics, Wang emphasizes the significance of good poetry that should exhaust both the principles of physics and metaphysics and go beyond the superficiality and as well reinforce the poetic influence or natural tendency shi. In my paper, I intend to examine the key concept of Wang Fuzhi’s poetic theory shi. Furthermore, I shall discuss the similar concept which the Six Dynasties’ critic Liu Xie used in his critical works. | ||||
| 六朝文学理论家刘勰和明清之际学者王船山生活在不同的历史时代。他们才高识卓，学问丰赡。两位大家都深刻的文学艺术见解，开阔不拘、又极具层面。 刘勰论“势”有着六朝时代的现实条件和理论依据；此“势”既与先秦诸子和兵法著作相关概念密切关联，又有语言层面的意义。 船山要在以“势”论诗，而“势”标志着言内之意与言外之意，景语和情语的内在联系和必然规律。他强调上乘诗作应缩万里于咫尺，变千年于一瞬，“无字处皆其意”，从而引发无穷的韵外之致。诗歌之动人，在其景外生景，言外有意，寥寥数句便让人遐想无限，达至“墨气所射，四表无穷” 的效果。船山之“势”论于刘勰之“势”有承继，但更是极大丰富并相当有创意地发展了此一概念，为后人留下了一份宝贵的文学理论遗产。 两位大家的诗论皆极有见地，本文尝试对其“势”论述进行一些梳理，分析比较以期得出某些启示。 | ||||

| It is truly difficult to determine Guoyu’s compilation since its chronology is very far. The paper is dedicated to the close reading of the texts and case studies to reconsider Guoyu’s readership and conjecture the compiler’s compilation intention. Most of the writings fall into four sections of remonstrance, or three sections of prophecy, both of which serve as caution. The compiling purpose of Guoyu is to make coming or current dominant statesman absorb experiences and lessons through successes or failures of the States. Based on studying the three discourses of Jin, the paper speculates that the book was compiled under a specific purpose. The compiler chose and enriched the discourses of the States according to its internal system although not perfectly. | ||||
| 有关《国语》一书编纂诸问题，由于其成书古老而甚难考索。本文指出《国语》透过历史上的善恶成败事迹,向执政者进谏，使之从中得到经验教训，从而更好的修身治国。而这一编纂目的是藉该书所采用的劝谏性的四段式，和具有预言性的三段式结构达成。这种首尾呼应的篇章结构，有效的服务于该书鉴察往事，警戒将来的编纂目的。另外，该书所记史实多有出入，亦可证明其并非以实录历史为目的；而善恶兼记的特点则可证“明德”说的不足。此外，《晋语》中有连续三篇所载内容相似，但是三篇字数的多寡，内容的繁简，以及篇章的结构等都很不相同，通过比较分析，不难发现三篇的内容显然存在着由简到繁的衍变过程。本文认为《国语》的写作是作者在明确的编纂目的指导之下，将各国语书数据选择、充实、润色，虽未尽统一，却具有清晰的内在系统性。 | ||||

| Anthology of Qing poetry not only can edit and save the documents of Qing poetry, but also act as a carrier of poetic criticism. In the late case, Selector’s awareness of the literary history, as well as Qing Poetry Anthology played the unique role in constructing the Qing poetry history is its reflection of critical function. Of course, this construction can be started from two angles, namely the individual subjective choice and the collective selection by several anthologies. After the combination of these two strategies, a relatively objective Qing poetry history will then be presented to readers in a special form. | ||||
| 清诗选本不仅承担着辑录、保存清诗文献的功能，而且还是诗学批评的重要载体。其中，清诗选家的文学史意识以及清诗选本在清诗史构建过程中发挥的独特作用就是其诗学批评功能的一种体现。当然，清诗选本对清诗史的构建可以从两个角度来审视，即选家个体的主观选择和多部选本的集体筛选。经过这两种策略的合力之后，一个相对客观的清诗史就会以特殊的形式呈现在读者面前。 | ||||

| After a long period of transfer and spread, classical Chinese drama has been widely accepted by local Chinese in Singapore. Moreover, it gradually displays its Southeast Asian style by absorbing local culture. Meanwhile, the study of classical Chinese drama in Singapore shows a different landscape compared to Chinese academia. In terms of research direction, Singapore researchers have conducted fruitful research on ritual theatre, local operas and distinctive features in language and music Chinese drama. With respect to research methodology, local scholars pay more attention to the combination of the traditional and interdisciplinary studies, the integration of theoretical discussion and documents analysis, and the connections between study, teaching and performing of Chinese drama. | ||||

| The traditional Chinese critical device of using concrete and lively imagery to comment on poetry or poetic styles s clearly illustrated in Zhong Rong's Shipin. As commonly regarded, Zhong Rong is the first or among the first critics to use this device extensively in poetry criticism. This approach to literary works later became a basic model in literary and art criticism. Zhong Rong is the earliest critic who tries to play on the paradox of language. Putting forward his famous definition of the poetic device xing (stimulus), he wrote: "When words come to an end but meaning lingers on, it is xing." This definition typified the maturity of the Chinese poetics at this time. It showed that the critics were not only aware of the paradox of language and were perplexed by it, but were also willing to take the advantage of this paradox. Their poetics might not emerge at a purely conscious level, however, their attempt -- working on the paradoxical relation between words and meanings in writing -- turned out to be a conscious one. It is this consideration of the relation between words and meanings that developed into the most distinctive and influential style of Chinese poetics. | ||||

| 2013 | Two Reflections on Chinese Literature in Global Contexts Cultural China [Canada] Journal 关于中华文学域外传播的两点思考──理论原则和策略选择 文化中国 | Wang Bing | Journal-Refereed | |
| “Chinese Literature in Global Contexts” as an academic hot topic need demonstrate and reflect on two related questions: 1) Theoretical investigation and practical principles of Chinese literature in global contexts. In the former case, The theories of Talcott Parsons’ “Cultural Latency” and M. M. Bakhtin’s “Outsidedness” not only proved the necessity and importance of the extra-territorial spread of Chinese literature, but also explained the basic strategies and position. In the latter case, Chinese literature in global contexts should be hierarchical for audience, gradual to spread process and selective from the dissemination of content; 2) particularity and strategic options of Chinese literary translation. Literary translation have some unique properties such as the aesthetic, creative, cross-cultural and acceptable, so Chinese literary translation should not be certain kind of translation theory as the sole criterion; the appropriate translation strategy for popular readers should be an unity of domesticating in language and foreignizing in culture; professional interpreters should be local-based and supplemented by sinologists. | ||||
| 当下，“华文文学域外传播”在成为学界热点话题之际，亟需论证和思考两个相关问题：其一，华文文学域外传播的理论考察与实践原则。就理论层面而言，巴赫金之“外位性”思想和帕森斯之“文化维模”理论足以证明华文文学域外传播的必要性和重要性，同时也提供了应该注意的策略和秉持的立场。就实践层面而言，华文文学之域外传播，从接受主体而言要有层次性，从传播过程而言要有渐进性，从传播内容而言要有选择性；其二，华文文学外译的特殊性与策略选择。由于文学翻译具有审美感、创造性、跨文化和可接受等独特属性，因此，华文文学外译不宜以某种翻译理论为唯一标准；面向大众读者较为合适的翻译策略是语言的归化与文化的异化的统一；华文文学外译人才应该以本土翻译家为主，合理吸收汉学家的翻译成果。 | ||||
| 2013 | Presentation of Awareness of Literary History in the Selections of Qing Poetry The New Asia Journal [Hong Kong] Journal 论清诗选本中文学史意识的呈现 新亚学报 | Wang Bing | Journal-Refereed | |
| Numerous selections of Qing poetry are as a unique phenomenon in the history of Qing literature. These poetry selections represent a golden age of poetry creation in Qing Dynasty, revealing the literature history awareness demonstrated in the form of complicated criticism. This sense of literary history could be reflected in the preface and postscript of the selections, and also revealed in the concise comments by anthologists, even implied in the compiling process. Specifically in the inner meaning, the selections of Qing poetry not only introspect on the laws of poetry evolution in past dynasties and describe the development of Qing poetry, but also guide the mainstream poetic style and propagate some traditional literary ideas in different periods of Qing dynasty. In the strategies of presentation, the subjective selection of individual selector describes unique history of literature mainly through the number of selection and poet’s predilection of verse forms. The collective selection of many anthologies is more likely to choose the famous poets and their masterpieces, which can represent the highest achievement of Qing poetry, and give expression to their awareness of literary history in the process of evaluation. In brief, through exploring the awareness of literary history in the selections of Qing poetry, we have reason to believe that these selections are integral part of literary criticism in Qing Dynasty, and claim that they have similar critical functions with other forms of criticism. | ||||
| 为数众多的清诗选本可谓是清代文学史上一道独特的风景。它们不仅昭示着清代诗歌创作的异常繁盛，同时也运用复合型的批评方式来表达选本的文学史意识。即这种文学史意识的彰显既可以显现于选本序跋作者的评论中，亦可流露于选者言简意赅的点评中，还有可能暗含在选者的选文过程中。具体而言，在内在意涵方面，清诗选本既有对历代诗歌发展演进规律的反思以及清诗发展脉络的梳理，也有对清代不同时期主流诗风的导引以及某些传统文学观念的阐扬；呈现策略方面，单个清诗选本主要通过选文数量的多寡、作者对某种诗体的擅长程度等手段来进行其个性化的文学史描述。多部清诗选本的集体筛选则更易遴选出能代表清诗发展成就的名家名作，组成一个相对完整的序列，在对名家的抑扬、进退中显示出清诗选本的文学史意识。总之，通过对清诗选本文学史意识多重意涵和呈现方式的挖掘，我们更有理由确信，清诗选本就是清代文学批评的一个有机组成部份，完全具备其他理论文本的批评职能。 | ||||

| This is on Ji An who lived in the period of the reign of Emperor Jing to Emperor Wu in the Han dynasty. His idea reflected the transformation process of ruling ideology from Huang-Lao Zi to Confucianism in this period. On the political governance methods, Ji An advocated Huang-Lao Zi, governing by Non-Intervention, and received effective results; as a minister, he adhered to Confucian doctrine, was loyal to the Monarch, and was also respected by Emperor Wu. Because of his devoted attitude, he was appreciated by Emperor Wu. On the other hand, the Emperor estranged and kept him away for his upright character. This paper also discusses some problems in its English translation. | ||||
| 生活在汉景帝至汉武帝时期的汲黯，为西汉从黄老之术到儒术独尊转变过程中的典型人物。在治政之策上，他有效采用黄老之术，无为而治；在君臣之道上，他恪守儒家学说，忠君报国。面对这样的一位有“异己”思想的忠诚直臣，汉武帝表现出了既欣赏又疏远的态度。另外，本文将重点讨论对于《汲黯列传》中一些令人费解的文本，并且探讨其英译中出现的问题。 | ||||

Journal of Hefei Normal University, 30(2), 86-89. 中道自然观的渐行渐远：以皎然“至丽而自然”为中心 | Li Jia | Journal-Refereed | |
| JIAO Ran was a poetry critic in the Tang Dynasty. Deeply steeped in the Daoist, Buddhist and Confucian traditions, he was considered a very important poet, often anthologised, and his completed works were collected on the Emperor’s orders. He wrote significant literary criticism, and was an important influence on the Ancient-Style Prose Movement of his time. This paper attempts to focus on his “Zhi li er ziran” (the most beautiful thing is natural) to discuss one of the Chinese poetry theories, that is to say, “Zhongdao” theory (the Middle Path, originated from the Buddhist Thought). Perhaps, the most successful Chinese Buddhist poet to resolve this paradox was Jiao Ran who proposed treatment of poetry as an intellectual instrument of Buddhist practice. | ||||
| 以唐代诗评家皎然提出的“至丽而自然”说为中心，考察古代诗论中的中道自然观进行，可以看出，皎然的自然观更多地继承了盛唐风神，将之归入盛唐诗学的范畴更为合理。中道自然观渐渐淡出了后代诗论家的关注视野。 | ||||

| Guoyu is an important Chinese classic during the Pre-Qin Period. In fact, the study on its literary nature should have attracted more research. This paper mainly focuses on Guoyu’s discourse organisation, arguing method and writing style. Recording discourses in the events, made each chapter narrate one event completely. The author specialised in using foreshadowing, which is the hint dropped by the narrator on events about to happen or characters to appear later in the text. The author also applied an extravagant decoration and embellishment to make the plot complicated. Guoyu was very good at reasoning. It has definite argument, penetrating discussion and precise logic. Guoyu used a lot of arguing methods. Its language was exaggerated and somewhat imaginative which is full of satiric humour and subtle tactfulness. All above-mentioned has great effects on the narrative literary world in the later generations. | ||||
| 《国语》乃中国先秦一部重要的典籍，但对该书的文学性探讨尚有欠深入。本文主要从篇章组织、说理方式以及行文风格等三个方面对《国语》的文学性进行析论。 认为《国语》于事中记语的篇章结构，使得每篇能以一事为起讫，因而在叙事的完整性上具有优长；在具体的写作上，该书善设伏笔，常常运用铺排、渲染之法欲抑先扬，从而使得情节曲折富有波澜。《国语》一书擅长说理，观点明确、议论透辟、逻辑严谨；注重论证，娴熟运用了多种论证方法，言辞富艳铺张，亦不乏虚构与夸张。在行文上，《国语》常有讽刺幽默、绵里藏针者，其文风韵藉婉转、意味悠长，这些都为后世古文家所称许和借鉴。 | ||||
| 2012 | Anthology, Criticism and Canonization: An In-Depth Analysis of Ancient Chinese Literary Anthologies Frontiers of Literary Studies in China Journal 选集，批评与经典化：对中国古代文学选本的深层分析 | Wang Bing | Journal-Refereed | |
| Literary anthology is one of the key categories in ancient literary theory and criticism in China. Theoretically, anthology criticism falls into three groups: 1) the preface and postscript, 2) the annotation of the anthology, and 3) the selected works themselves. Due to its uniqueness, anthology criticism possesses two combinations, i.e. combination of direct explanation and indirect apprehension; combination of critical theory and practice. This paper claims that anthology as literary criticism has great theoretical value, which embodies literary concepts, summarizes literary development and promotes literary transmission. Therefore, literary anthology serves a compulsory part in canonization of Chinese literature. | ||||
| 文学选本是中国古代文学理论与批评的一种重要形式。 从理论上说，选本批评可分为三个部分：1）序跋，2）选本的注释，3）所选作品本身。 由于其独特性，选本批评具有两种组合，即显性阐释和间接理解的组合以及批评理论与实践的结合。本文认为选本作为一种文学批评具有很大的理论价值，体现选者的文学观念，总结文学之发展，亦能促进文学传播。 因此，文学选本在中国文学的经典化过程中起到了十分重要的作用。 | ||||

| There are many famous poets in the early Qing Dynasty, both adherents of a former dynasty and turncoat official, also the new talents and backbone of the contemporary Parnassus. Among them, Three Great Poets in the Jiangzuo Area is the most outstanding. In the process of canonization, Qing selections of Qing poetry play a very important role. On one hand, the selectors can use the carrier of their selections to choose a large number of famous poems, and accelerate the spread of writers and their works, and then achieve their canonization in the early Qing Dynasty; On the other hand, Qing selections of Qing poetry also provide an in-depth reflection about famous masterpieces for future generations of researchers, i.e. We can explore the complex process of poets’ canonization in contemporary or after the time, and the changes or evolution of their fame status by the study of Qing selections. Therefore, this article will take Three Great Poets in the Jiangzuo Area, in order to concretely analyze the process of poets’ canonization in the horizon of Qing selections of Qing poetry. | ||||
| 清初诗坛名家众多，既有前代之遗民、贰臣，亦有本朝之新秀、中坚，其中尤以“江左三大家”最为卓著。在这些名家经典化的过程中，清诗选本扮演了十分重要的角色。一方面，清诗选家利用选本之载体，选录大量名家之诗作，加速了清初作家作品的流播，进而成就了清初作家的经典化；与此同时，清诗选本也为后世研究者提供了一个深入观照名家名作的视角，即通过清诗选本的考察，来探究清初作家在其时或其后诗坛中经典地位形成的复杂过程，以及声名地位的变化演进轨迹。本文遂以最有代表性的“江左三大家”为例，具体剖析清初名家在清诗选本视域中的经典化生成。 | ||||

| This paper, by way of an analysis of Cambridge History of Chinese Literature ,Vol I, edited by Prof Stephen Owen, Prof Owen’s opinions on Compilation of Literature History in his earlier works and comparison with History of Chinese Literature edited by Prof Yuan Xingpei, probes Prof Owen’s concept in his new history of Chinese literature. This paper considers how Cambridge History of Chinese Literature underpinned the historicism methodology, emphasised the logic of acceptance and proposed that literature history was an account on previous literature and culture, and itself formed a part of literature history and the forming of Classics went through a series of complicated Intermediary, etc. In addition, this new literature history paid much attention to the role of cultural heritage on literature and the uncertainty of literature development. This book broke through the traditional literature stage according to the dynasties and carried out the concept of literary standard in writing the literature history. In a word, this book proposed many new opinions from the “bystanders”. | ||||
| 通过对宇文所安教授主编的《剑桥中国文学史》（第一卷）的分析，结合其以往著作中有关编纂文学史的观点，并与袁行霈教授主编的《中国文学史》进行比较，探讨宇文教授新编文学史理念。本文认为《剑桥中国文学史》秉承了历史主义的研究方法，注重接受史的逻辑思维，提出了文学史是对以往文学文化的叙述、文学史本身就是文学史的一部分、经典的形成经过一系列复杂的中介过程等重要观点。此外，新编文学史还特别关注物质文化对文学的作用、文学发展的不确定性，并打破以朝代进行文学分期的传统、较好的贯彻了以文学本位书写文学史的观念，从“旁观者”的视角提出了颇多新见。 | ||||

On the other hand, Du Mu had many of his own opinions except for its perfect annotation format. There are many citations of non-extant ancient books on the art of war and many famous cases of battles in the history. We can see the understandings of battle theory in the Commentary. It will be very important in Sunzi's research even in Chinese Military Philology. | ||||
| 本文以杜牧的《孙子》注为研究对象，指出该书是唐朝注释学兴盛发展，以及《孙子》研究热潮下的产物。杜牧注一方面吸收了曹操《孙子略解》以及其祖杜佑在《通典》中对《孙子》的训解成果，另一方面又不被他们的看法所左右，能够自出机杼颇多新见。杜牧的《孙子》注体例完善，注中广引古佚兵书，并且大量征引史实和著名战例，亦不时可见杜牧对《孙子》作战理论的独特心解，丰富了注释的内容。杜牧注《孙子》不仅在《孙子》研究学史乃至军事文献学史上都具有重要的价值。 | ||||

| More than a turning point in his life, Xu Zhimo’s (1897–1931) Cambridge experience is pivotal in producing and shaping one of the most romantic writers in modern China. Xu created a literary Cambridge that, more than any other foreign places that were portrayed in modern Chinese literature, is Chinese readers’ “dreamland” of the West. When the native Chinese Xu addressed Cambridge as “xiang” (native place), how should we see Xu’s nostalgia for his second homeland? Through his Cambridge works, Xu created a perceived image of the place to his readers, and this image possessed an aura that stood the test of time and space, which we would term as “chronotopic aura”. Furthermore, we shall analyse Xu’s Cambridge experience that evoked his nostalgia and to propose a new reading of Xu’s works on Cambridge in terms of the chronotopic aura between his literary Cambridge identity and his readers. | ||||
| 徐志摩 （1897-1931）在剑桥的经历除了是他人生的一个重要转捩点，也塑造他成为当代中国浪漫主义作家之一。比起任何出现在现代华文文学里的西方国家，徐志摩文艺作品中的剑桥是不少华人对于西方国家所向往的幻境。当作为一名土生土长的中国人称剑桥为他的“乡”，我们该如何看待徐志摩对于他第二个家乡的思念？通过他的作品，徐志摩创造了他想要其他人都感受到的剑桥，一个经得起时空考验的氛围，或称 “时空氛围”。我们要研究徐志摩的剑桥经历如何勾起他的思念。同时，我们建议根据徐志摩文艺作品中的剑桥和它与读者之间的“时空氛围”重新享受他的作品。 | ||||

| Due to a series of reforms of the Imperial Examination system in the Qing dynasty, the writing and publication of Imperial Examination poems gained increasing popularity among the literati, especially during the reign of Emperor Qianlong (1735-1796). The Qing court prescribed strict rules for these examination poems in terms of structure, rhyming system, and even the use of analogies, though some of new writing styles were acceptable to the official taste. These requirements had not only implications on the recruitment of Imperial officers, but also on the formation and the development of the officially sanctioned poetics of the Qing dynasty. | ||||
| 伴随着清代官方特别是乾隆朝对科场内容体制的革新，试律诗的创作与试律选本编刻蔚然成风。概括而言，清代试律诗在体例上对结构、用韵和用典有严格要求，在诗法上多承袭范式标准，也允许有部份新变；主题方面，务必要求典雅庄重；风格方面，力求做到巧雅结合。由于这种干禄文体是乾隆以降每个读书人科考入仕的敲门砖，因此，清代试律诗及其选本的产生，也深深地烙上了官方意识形态的印迹。也正是缘于此，清代试律诗的相关研究，必须放置于清代特定的官方诗学语境中，才能得到较为全面的考察。 | ||||
| 2011 | Research on the Acceptance of Chinese Academic Circles for Stephen Owen’s Chinese Studies Newsletter for Research in Chinese Studies [Taiwan] Journal 论中国学界对宇文所安汉学研究的接受 汉学研究通讯 | Wang Bing | Journal-Refereed | |
| Stephen Owen is a well-known American sinologist nowadays and yields substantial results in history of Chinese literature, especially in the poetic history of Tang Dynasty, Chinese literary theory and comparative literature. Since 1980s, Chinese academic circles have traversed three phases accepting Stephen Owen’s sinology, including initial introduction, concentrated comments and multi-dimensional development. Meanwhile, their accepted attitude has undergone a process of being curious and cautious to be crazy and fascinated, and then to be rational and objective. Generally speaking, the merits of Stephen Owen’s study in China reflect in relatively scientific research attitude and diversified criticism carriers, while the imbalance of research orientation and the singularity of discipline field of vision are shortcomings. Therefore, breaking through the usual patterns of thinking and seeking a new angle of study will become a general trend of future study of Stephen Owen. | ||||
| 宇文所安是当今颇具盛名的美国汉学家，在中国文学史尤其是唐代诗歌史、中国文论以及比较文学等领域成果丰硕。从上世纪八十年代至今，中国学界对宇文所安汉学研究的接受可以分为初始引入、集中介评和多元拓展三个阶段，接受心态也经历了从新奇谨慎到狂热迷恋再到理性客观的转变。总体而言，相对科学的研究态度和多样的批评载体是中国宇文所安研究的优长之处，研究方向的不均衡和学科视野的单一化则是其不足之处。因此，突破惯性思维模式、谋求新的研究角度将成为未来宇文所安研究的总体趋势。 | ||||

| Qing selections of Qing poetry are not only numerous but also vary in basic characteristics in different periods. On the basis of the historical framework, and the development of the selections’ typology and their critical consciousness, we can divide Qing selections of Qing poetry into four phases: the initial phase, the prospering phase, the transitional phase, and the summation phase. Classifying Qing selections of Qing poetry into different periods will highlight the basic characteristics of the various phases, enable us to illustrate the development context of Qing selections of Qing poetry, and further our scholarly research. | ||||

| 2011 | On Literary Activities and Thought of Wei Yi-jie Chung Cheng Journal of Chinese Studies [Taiwan] Journal 魏裔介之文学活动与文学思想析论 中正汉学研究 | Wang Bing | Journal-Refereed | |
| Wei Yi-jie (1616-1686) was a well-known Neo-Confucianist in the early Qing Dynasty. His literary activities and thought have long been ignored in the academic circles. As a matter of fact, he was not only a diligent writer, contributing a great deal in editing and inscribing literary collections, but also chanted and composed verses adopting the same rhymes and sequence with scholars of different kinds. Expressing personal feelings truthfully, he composed poems and prose with an elegant style. He stressed the autonomy of literature on the basis of “Wen subjecting to Tao”. He introduced the notion of “true poem” based on the value “true temperament”. In addition, he had some deep thinking on the relations between literature and the era, between literary quality and the disposition of the writer. He also articulated his views on poetry appreciation. Giving the consideration to his prominent social status and his influence to the literary circles of his time, this study states that Wei Yi-jie’ s literary achievement both reflected the transformation of the literary style of the end of Ming and early Qing Dynasty, and set a model style for a grand age. | ||||
| 魏裔介（1616-1686）为清初理学名臣，关于他的文学活动与文学思想，长期以来学术界鲜有关注。实际上，魏裔介在文学活动方面，不仅勤勉为文，喜好弄笔，编选刊刻多种诗文选本，而且与诸阶层文人均有诗文唱酬，往来频密。另外，自身诗文创作亦能做到发抒性情，风格醇雅。在文学思想方面，他不仅在“道主文从”的前提下肯定了文学的独立性，在融合“性情之正”和“性情之真”的基础上倡导“真诗”，还对文学与时代的关係、创作主体的素质以及作文阅诗之法等问题进行了具体深入的思考。结合魏裔介其时位高权重的社会地位和在清初文坛中的社会影响，本文认为，魏裔介的文学成就既反映了明末清初文风的转变，又带有明显地为盛世文风树立典范的功利色彩。 | ||||
| 2011 | On the Formation of the Six Masters of the Early Qing Period Journal of Macao Polytechnic Institute [Macao] 澳门理工大学学报Journal 论清初“国朝六家”的形成 | Wang Bing | Journal-Refereed | |
| Six well-known poets Shi Run-zhang, Song Wan, Zhu Yi-zun, Wang Shi-zhen, Zha Shen-xing, Zhao Zhi-xin were called Six Masters of the Early Qing Period; The forming process of their classic status in the poetic circle at the beginning of Qing dynasty can be divided into two phases: Four Masters of Qing Dynasty and Six Masters of Qing Dynasty. The formation of these two stages is inseparable from the promotion of poetry critics and selectors. Of course, in the formation process of Six Masters of Qing Dynasty, we can also see the diversity of poetry patterns and complexity of evolution in contemporary poetry circle. | ||||
| 清初六位著名诗人施闰章、宋琬、朱彝尊、王士禛、查慎行、赵执信被合称为“国朝六家”。他们在清初诗坛经典地位的形成，经历了“国朝四家”和“国朝六家”两个阶段，且每个阶段皆与其时诗论家和选家的推助密切相关。当然，在“国朝六家”的形成过程中，我们亦可窥见其时诗坛多元的诗学样态和复杂的演进轨迹。 | ||||

| The anthology of Qing poem intervened by emperors is a unique and important type in the field of Qing anthology. Due to the involvement of the feudal emperors, these elections can basically be regarded as the publicity vehicle of official poetic discourse. Through two anthologies as an example namely HuangQing shixuan and Qinding xichao yasong Ji, We analyze the infiltration process of official discourse into the field of Qing Selected Poems and the formation background of “Qingzhen yazheng” (pure, true and orthodox correctness) poetic styles in Qing Dynasty from two angles which are the complicity between the poetry education thought of Confucians and the political teaching. | ||||
| 御敕清诗选本是清代选本领域中的一个独特而重要的类型。由于封建帝王的参与， 这些选本基本上可视为清廷官方诗学话语的宣传载体。我们以《皇清诗选》和《钦定熙朝雅颂集》两部御敕清诗选本为例， 从传统诗教与清廷政教“共谋” 的角度来剖析御敕清诗选本的批评意识与实践在清廷官方诗学话语确立过程中所发挥的重要作用， 进而可以从一个新的角度来审视清代诗坛清真雅正诗风的形成背景。 | ||||
| 2011 | Three Topics in Research on Women's Poetry Anthology in Qing Dynasty Journal of Chinese Studies Chinese Culture University [Taiwan] Journal 清诗女性选本研究 中国文化大学中文学报 | Wang Bing | Journal-Refereed | |
| With the growth of women's writing groups, women's poetry anthology was far more than the previous generation in both quantity and scale during the Qing Dynasty. To explore the reasons for its prosperity, I think that it was mainly due to the growth of Female Writers Group in the Qing Dynasty, the support of well-known scholars on the creation and selection of women’s poems and overall enhancement to the quality of women poetry. These women’s anthologies clearly reflected three characteristics of women's writers Group of Qing Dynasty namely, regional, familial and dependency. In addition, by means of the compilation and interpretation in Qing women’s poetry anthologies, we can also get a glimpse of the conditions of female poetics under the guidance of male poetics in the Qing Dynasty. | ||||
| 有清一代，女性诗歌选本不论在数量上还是在规模上都远超前代。究其繁盛之原因，主要归功于清代女性创作群体的壮大、知名士人对女性诗歌创作及选本编刻的支持、肯定以及女性诗歌创作质量的全面提升。这些女性选本鲜明地反映了清代女性创作群体的三个特徵，即地域性、家族性和依附性。另外，在清诗女性选本的编纂和释评中，我们也可窥见男性诗学话语主导下的女性诗学样态。 | ||||

| Anthology of Qing poetry by Qing poets is not only one category of selected poetry, but also a unique example of poetic criticism. As for the selection of poetry, it is closely related with constructing history of Qing poetry and the alternate of poetics trend. Therefore, this book is, on the basis of expounding the development of anthology of Qing poetry by Qing poets, to study the relation of Qing Poetry by anthology of Qing Poets and poetics of Qing dynasty so as to explore its function of criticism, try to locate its status and find out its literary value. | ||||
| 清人选清诗既是诗歌选本的一个类别，同时也是一种独特的诗学批评样式。其编选实践与清代诗歌史的构建、诗学思潮的更迭等皆有较为密切的关系，故本文旨在梳理清人选清诗的发展脉络及其特征的基础上，重点研究清人选清诗与清代诗学之间的关联，深入发掘清人选清诗的批评功能，以期准确定位清人选清诗在清代诗学中的地位和价值。 | ||||

| The authors of "Cactus Prose Series" belong to three age groups. They are from different times and each with different experience and living space. There is little intersection between their experiences and reactions to the world or life. In the volume of Tan Chee Lay (Chen Zhirui), "Between Singapore and Taiwan" collected a lot of works by the author who expressed his deep feelings. The works in “Teachers and Students” show the teacher’s expectations and aspirations for himself and for the students, as well as his classes with the students and reflections about them. “Inside the Urban and Rural Areas” collects some works of his travels and journeys, but also includes thoughts of life and his personal emotions. In the "Within the eyes of Books", it collects prefaces or post-reading thoughts written on some cultural relics. | ||||

Singapore: Global Publishing (in Chinese). 超越自我体系争议：郭宝崑戏剧独白中的政治策略与抗争 | Tan Chee Lay | University Textbooks or Professional Books | |
| The book is divided into three parts, the first part is the modern novel review, the second part is the modern prose review, and the third part is the cultural art review. From the perspective of literary extension, the author explores style, inspiration and literary phenomena with a strong sense of intuition and from an “alternative and special” angle. From the perspective of literary connotation, the special alternative content of alienation is also the main object of discussion; from the perspective of literary chronology, the anti-Japanese wars and Kuomintang-Communist co-operations and civil wars in the 1930s, to the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, to the mainlanders who retreated to Taiwan from the mainland between the 1940s to 1980s, to the Taipei movies of the 1990s, and to the "New Three People's Principles" of Singapore in the 21st century, the author picked stories of ordinary people that happened in such a time of dramatic changes, as his subjects of criticism, has its own "special alternative" vision. The author uses a large number of aesthetic theories to interpret life and death from Freud's subconscious mind, to aesthetic master Bock's "distance theory", to Kant's "completeness" and then to the existential master Heidegger's "boarder situation" . The author selects the alternatives in the masterpieces from a special perspective to interpret the mystery in the imagery, measures and construct the literary atmosphere. He combines aesthetics with morality, historical insights with worldly life, and presents his own literary life and philosophy of life. Review itself is poetics. The author's arguments are "unexpected", but the discussions are "expected". His Chinese experience and his time studying in Europe will all bring the readers to a live journey in understanding literary aesthetics. | ||||
| 本书分为三个部分，第一部分是现代小说评论，第二部分是现代散文评论，第三部分是文化艺术评论。 从文学外延来看，作者带着强烈的直觉意识从“另类”的角度来探讨文体、启发与文学现象； 从文学内涵来看，异化的另类内容也是主要的探讨对象；从文学年表来看，从三十年代的抗日与国共背景，到六十年代的文革，以及从大陆退守台湾的外省人，到九十年代的台北电影，再到二十一世纪新加坡的“新三民主义”，作者从大时代中拣选小故事，作为评论对象，自有其“另类”的眼光。作者运用大量的美学理论，从弗洛伊德的潜意识，美学大师博克的“距离说”到康德的“完满”再到存在主义大师海德格的“极限境况”来诠释生与死。作者以独特的眼光选评大师级作品里的另类，意象里的玄机，并测量文学氛围的温度和营造手法。 他结合美学与道德观照，揉合历史识见、与世俗生命，呈显自己的文学生活与人生哲学，评论本身就是诗学。 作者的论点“出人意料”，论述却是“入人意中”， 他的中国经验与留学欧洲，都将成为一部部亲临现场的文艺美学。 | ||||
| 2004 | Transcending the Self/System Controversy: The Politics and Resistance of Kuo Pao Kun's Monologue (MA Thesis for NUS English Studies) Tan, C. L. (2004, December). Transcending the Self/System Controversy: The Politics and Resistance of Kuo Pao Kun's Monologue (MA Thesis for NUS English Studies), 101. 超越自我体系争议：郭宝崑戏剧独白中的政治策略与抗争 | Tan Chee Lay | Others | |
| This research dissertation hopes to investigate if Kuo Pao Kun has managed to overcome his “biggest problem”, which is the self/System controversy, by examining all three of his monodramas, The Coffin Is Too Big For The Hole, No Parking On Odd Days and The Eagle And The Cat. Two formulae are derived, namely the “Monologic Constant Formula” and the “Monologic Variable Formula”, to capture the similarities and differences within these monologues. While the “Monologic Constant Formula” only creates and demonstrates the current situation and predicament in the self/System dilemma, the spirit of evolution invoked by the “Monologic Variable Formula” actually provides avenues to challenge the System’s domination. Self-empowerment, evolution of a new language of discourse, greater degree of universality with domestic roots, and most importantly, persistence even in recurring failures, are some of these evolutionary changes that can threaten the dominance of the System. In addition, being the only power in his monologue writing, Kuo Pao Kun places himself in the shoes of the selves and the System so as to understand the mechanism of the self/System controversy from the inside out so as to overcome it. Although he may not overcome the controversy, he has provided plausible anti-discursive strategies to narrow the power gap between the self and System. Further enhanced by the “strength of the weak” and “singular-performer” characteristics of monologues, he, as the individual protagonist or the solitary playwright, does not oppose the System directly but transcend it. Therefore, his monodramas are not so much of passive resistance, but of active creation of a new humanity space. With such, the conclusion finally asserts that Kuo Pao Kun is the most representative cultural icon in Singapore. | ||||
| 本文通过三篇戏剧独白，《棺材太大洞太小》、《单日不可停车》及《老鹰与猫》就郭宝崑是否已经克服其创作中的“最大问题”，即自我体系争议展开调查。由此推出两个公式，即“Monologic Constant Formula（独白常量公式）”和“Monologic Variable Formula（独白变量公式）”，以捕捉这些独白中的相似点和不同点。虽然“独白常量公式”只能创造和展示自我体系困境中的当下情境和困恼，但“独白变量公式”中引用的进化精神实际上为挑战自我体系统治的权威提供了途径。
自我赋权，新式话语演变，源于本土却深于本土普遍性，以及最重要的，屡败屡战的坚持，都是可能威胁到自身体系主导地位的进化性变革。此外，作为独白戏剧写作中唯一的力量，郭宝崑将自己置身于自我和自我所存在的体系之中，从内而外地了解自我/制度争议的机制，以期克服这种争议。 虽然他可能无法克服争议，但他提供了合理的反话语策略来缩小自我与体系之间的权力差距。由于独白中“弱者的力量”和“唯一表演者”的特征进一步增强，他作为个人主角或孤独的剧作家，并不直接反对这种体系，而是超越它，所以他的独白戏剧不是被动抵抗，而是积极创造新的人性空间。正因如此，郭宝崑是新加坡最具代表性的文化偶像。 | ||||

| Multiculturalism as a pedagogical approach is an important educational tool in imparting 21st century skills that include respectful mind and ethical mind. Other than the two ‘minds’ advocated by Howard Gardner, multiculturalism may well equip learners with important qualities such as understanding, empathy and compassion. In many plural societies where the tendency for the dominant group to impose its norms and values onto others is very strong and real, multiculturalism has an important role to play and the capacity in thwarting such hegemonic act. Multiculturalism champions group parity and appreciation of differing cultural norms and values, rather than avoidance or tolerance. Acknowledging its potential to empowering students with respectful mind and ethical mind that foster multicultural understanding and appreciation, this paper discusses critical theories of multiculturalism and argues that despite its many challenges, it is still worthwhile to adapt and implement multiculturalism in the teaching and learning of literature at institutions of higher learning. | ||||
| Sebagai persiapan menghadapi abad ke-21 dan seterusnya yang penuh cabaran dan ketidaktentuan, gagasan pelbagai budaya (multiculturalism) semakin dirasakan penting sebagai pendekatan yang dapat melahirkan insan yang memahami, berempati dan ihsan. Ini sealiran dengan dua di antara lima kemahiran, yakni pemikiran menghormati (respectful mind) dan pemikiran beretika (ethical mind) tajaan Howard Gardner yang dimajukan oleh beliau sebagai kemahiran berfikir abad ke-21 yang sangat penting. Terutama dalam masyarakat majmuk yang terdedah dengan pelbagai budaya, nilai dan norma, dan keinginan menarik norma kelompok kecil ke dalam norma kelompok yang lebih besar merupakan satu kecenderungan, maka gagasan pelbagai budaya merupakan benteng yang dapat memurnikan keadaan. Gagasan pelbagai budaya menganjurkan agar semua kelainan budaya dilihat dengan rasa dan pemikiran menghormati, bukan dengan cara mengelak (avoidance), dan juga tidak cukup dengan sikap toleransi. Kertas kerja ini meneliti secara kritis kerangka teori gagasan pelbagai budaya dan cabaran penerapannya dalam konteks pengajaran dan pembelajaran sastera dalam bahasa ibunda di peringkat pengajian tinggi. | ||||

Cinta, kepercayaan, agama dan penjajahan: Kilasan wawasan budaya dalam jiwa sastera nusantara | Hadijah Rahmat | Keynote Address at an International Conference (Singapore or Overseas) | |
| This paper discusses the role of literature in the development of culture, country, world and humanity of the people. The great literary work is not only beautiful artfully in terms of language and its shape, it can even give insights into thinking, science, values and soul, which can instill and develop the culture and civilization of a nation or country. In short, literature can function as an agent of cultural reconstruction and transformation. Traditional literature of the archipelago has revealed the vision and philosophy of exquisite Malay culture and serves as an institution or discourse of public education. These are all clearly revealed in pantun, proverbs, precept or poems of their peoples. The role of literature in the reconstruction and transformation of the culture was continued by new or modern literature as reflected by the works of Munsyi Abdullah (1796-1854), RA Kartini (1879-1904), Sutan Takdir Alisjahbana (1908-1994), HAMKA (1908- 1981), Amir Hamzah (1911-1946) and Chairil Anwar (1922-1949). Cultural insights that discusses love, cultural customs, religion and occupation occurred in the works of HAMKA and the impact of the writing will be discussed. | ||||
| Makalah ini membincangkan peranan kesusasteraan dalam perkembangan budaya, negara, dunia dan kemanusiaan rakyat. Karya sastera yang hebat bukan hanya bersifat artistik baik dari segi bahasa mahupun bentuknya, bahkan dapat memberikan pemahaman tentang pemikiran, sains, nilai dan jiwa, yang dapat menanamkan dan mengembangkan budaya dan tamadun suatu negara. Pendek kata, sastera boleh berfungsi sebagai pemangkin pembinaan semula dan transformasi budaya. Sastera tradisional nusantara telah mendedahkan visi dan falsafah budaya Melayu yang indah dan berfungsi sebagai institusi atau wacana pendidikan awam. Ini semua jelas diperlihatkan dalam pantun, peribahasa, ajaran atau puisi mereka. Peranan kesusasteraan dalam pembinaan semula dan transformasi budaya diteruskan oleh kesusasteraan baru atau moden seperti yang dipaparkan dalam karya-karya Munsyi Abdullah (1796-1854), RA Kartini (1879-1904), Sutan Takdir Alisjahbana (1908-1994) HAMKA (1908- 1981), Amir Hamzah (1911-1946) dan Chairil Anwar (1922-1949).

| This article discusses two poems, Syair Engku Puteri and Syair Sultan Mahmud di Lingga. A glimpse of the two court figures ie Engku Puteri and Sultan Mahmud are also mentioned in a historiographical text, Tuhfat al Nafis. Using the concept of cultural memory, this article shows that the writers of both syair use their individual memories in their works. This is done in order to retain and store a private remembrance, and transform it to produce a collective remembrance while shaping the public view of a fragment of history not captured in Tuhfat al-Nafis. | ||||
| Makalah ini membicarakan tentang dua syair berunsur sejarah iaitu Syair Engku Puteri dan Syair Sultan Mahmud di Lingga.

Dengan menggunakan konsep budaya ingatan, makalah ini menunjukkan bahawa pengarang syair memuatkan ingatan pribadi mereka ke dalam syair agar ia menjadi suatu kenangan kolektif tentang bahagian sejarah yang tidak terungkap dalam Tuhfat Al-Nafis. | ||||

| This paper discusses selected poems by three generations of Malay writers in Singapore from the first generation poets who received their vernacular education during British colonial period, before Malayan Independence in 1957; to second generation writers who received Malay education when Singapore was part of Malaysia (1957–1965) who established their poems in 1970s; and the third generation writers who received bilingual education after Singapore become a Republic in the 1980s.

Puisi-puisi ikonik ini merangkumi estetika, budaya dan nilai politik masyarakat Melayu. Ianya merupakan pencubaan awal untuk mentakrifkan dan mencari puisi Melayu Singapura berkanun. | ||||

This paper revisits and reflect on the concept and philosophy of Malay goodness as shown in the Malay literature such as traditional poetry. To what extent the values of Budi can be practised and preserved in our current and future life which are more diversified, complex and more challenging caused by the changes in ICT, digital culture and more open and fast changing global way of life ? What are the roles of writers and educators in Southeast Asia in the process of cultivating Malay values of goodness and courtesy? The paper discusses these issues. | ||||
| Budi, budi bahasa dan sopan santun adalah unsur-unsur penting dan menjadi teras dalam kebudayaan dan jatidiri Melayu.

Kertas ini merenung dan menilai semula konsep dan falsafah budi, adab dan kesantunan Melayu ini yang terungkap dalam sastera khususnya dalam puisi Melayu tradional. Sejauhmanakah nilai-nilai budi Melayu ini dapat dipertahankan dan dilestarikan dalam kehidupan masa kini dan akan datang yang lebih rencam, kompleks dan menggugat akibat perubahan teknologi komunikasi (ICT), budaya digital dan gaya hidup global yang lebih terbuka dan pantas? Apakah peranan para sasterawan dan pendidik Asia Tenggara dalam proses pembinaan nilai budi, adab dan kesantunan Melayu kini? Kertas ini juga berkongsi pengalaman pendidikan bahasa dan kebudayaan Melayu di Singapura yang cuba menangani persoalan-persoalan tersebut dan berusaha untuk mengisi keperluan, menyahut cabaran kehidupan baru dan mencapai cita unggul membina insan arif budiman Melayu pada abad ke-21. | ||||

| This paper discusses the concept of Cultural Memory by presenting two poems: Syair Engku Puteri and Syair Sultan Mahmud di Lingga. The great figures featured in these poems, Engku Puteri Raja Hamidah and Sultan Mahmud, are also mentioned in a historiographical text, Tuhfat Al-Nafis. This paper advances the argument that the authors of both poems used their work initially as a personal memory record, but later used it as material that allowed for a collective memory not covered in prose text/form like Tuhfat al-Nafis. | ||||

In Ding Choo Ming & Zalina Abdul Aziz (Eds.), Bridging the Past and the Present: A Festschrift Honouring Muhammad Haji Salleh (pp. 140-172). Kuala Lumpur: Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. Imej Orang-orang Asia Tenggara dan Amerika: Persepsi Alfred North dan Munshi Abdullah | Hadijah Rahmat | Book Chapters | |
| The paper discusses the image of Southeast Asians and Americans perceived by Munshi Abdullah (1796-1854) and American missionary, Alfred North, as reflected by their writings. Abdullah’s close association with the British Colonial figures, such as Stamford Raffles and William Farquhar, is widely known. Less well known however, is American influence on his thinking and works. The paper is prepared based on an exploratory study on the American connection to the Malay literary development through the collaborative works of Abdullah and his American employer, Alfred North of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mission (ABCFM), which took place in Singapore from 1836-1843. Their works are now part of the collection of Malay manuscripts and rare books of the Library of Congress, Washington DC, of Houghton Library, Harvard University and University of California, San Diego. The images of Southeast Asians, particularly Malays and the Americans in the 19th century are unveiled by revisiting Abdullah’s autobiography (Hikayat Abdullah) and his travel journal, Kisah Pelayaran Abdullah (The Tale of Abdullah’s Voyage), and by sharing recent findings of a newly discovered journal written by Alfred North in 1836. The writings of these two important figures in Malay literary history are indeed mirroring [reflecting] interesting images of the ‘colonized self’ (Malays and other Asians) and their ‘Other Colonial’ (Americans) and thus provides new insights to greater understanding of the dynamics of colonial history in South East Asia, its hegemony, discourse and impacts on Malay literary development in the 19th century. | ||||
| Kertas kajian ini membincangkan imej atau gambaran orang Asia Tenggara dan orang Amerika dari persepsi Munshi Abdullah (1796 – 1854) dan seorang mubaligh Amerika, Alfred North, sebagaimana dicerminkan dalam tulisan mereka. Hubungan rapat antara Abdullah dengan tokoh-tokoh kolonial British, seperti Stamford Raffles dan William Farquhar, merupakan sesuatu yang sudah diketahui orang ramai. Namun, perkara yang kurang diketahui adalah pengaruh Amerika terhadap pemikiran dan karya-karya beliau. Kertas ini dihasilkan berdasarkan kajian rintis mengenai hubungan Amerika dengan pembangunan sastera Melayu melalui kerjasama Abdullah dan majikan Amerika beliau, Alfred North dari Lembaga Pesuruhjaya Luar Negara Amerika (American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mission, ABCFM), yang berlaku di Singapura dari 1836 hingga 1843. Hasil kerja mereka kini menjadi sebahagian daripada koleksi manuskrip Melayu dan buku-buku berharga di Perpustakaan Kogres, Washington DC, Perpustakaan Houghton, Universiti Harvard dan Universiti California, San Diego. Imej orang Asia Tenggara, khususnya orang Melayu dan orang Amerika pada abad ke-19 diperkenalkan dengan mengkaji semula autobiografi Abdullah (Hikayat Abdullah) dan jurnal perjalanan beliau, Kisah Pelayaran Abdullah), serta penemuan daripada jurnal yang ditulis oleh Alfred North pada tahun 1836. Penulisan kedua-dua tokoh penting dalam sejarah sastera Melayu ini sebenarnya mencerminkan gambaran yang menarik tentang ‘diri yang dijajah’ (colonized self) (Melayu dan orang-orang Asia lain) dan ‘Kolonial Lain’ (Orang Amerika) lantas memberikan pandangan baru kepada pemahaman yang dalam mengenai dinamik sejarah penjajahan di Asia Tenggara, hegemoni, wacana serta kesannya terhadap pembangunan sastera Melayu pada abad ke-19. | ||||

Penulis wanita Melayu dan negosiasi memori budaya serta peribadi dalam kesusasteraan | Sa’eda Buang | University Textbooks or Professional Books | |
| The presence of female writers in the Malay literary tradition has been less significant due to their number, which is too few and too far in between. The emergence of Malay female writers, albeit paltry, particularly in the middle of 20th century, has given the Malay readership an opportunity to hear female voices as alternative narratives of and about their own world and how they read the world around them. By using selected literary work by Malay female writers (particularly in Singapore) from mid-20th century till today, this paper discusses how these writers negotiate the dominant cultural memory and instead portray their version of personal and cultural memory through literature. | ||||
| Kehadiran penulis wanita dalam tradisi persuratan Melayu dianggap kurang penting disebabkan bilangan mereka yang amat sedikit. Namun, kemunculan beberapa penulis wanita pada kurun ke-20 telah memberikan khalayak pembaca peluang mendengar suara mereka sebagai naratif alternatif tentang dunia mereka dan bagaimana mereka melihat persekitaran mereka. Dengan menggunakan beberapa karya pilihan penulis wanita di Singapura semenjak pertengahan kurun ke-20 sehingga kini, kertas ini membincangkan bagaimana para penulis ini meladeni memori budaya dominan dan kemudiannya mempersembahkan versi memori peribadi dan budaya melalui sastera. | ||||

Ngauman Singa dalam Rimba Kesusasteraan di Nusantara | Hadijah Rahmat | Journal-Refereed | |
| This article highlights the connection between Malay literature in Singapore and the literature of Malaysia and other nations of Nusantara, the Malay world. It examines effects of the political separation of 9 August 1965 on Malay literature in Singapore. Has separation of almost 50 years truly severed ties between Malaysia and Singapore as far as Malay literature is concerned? Do Malay literary works reflect a divide between the cultures of Malaysia and Singapore? Is there still continuity in the spirit of a common origin? This article attempts to answer these questions through discussion on the developments in a shared literature before 1965, effects and themes of “separation” in the literary works, phases in the development of literature since 1965, as well as patterns of literary connection between Malaysia and Singapore. | ||||
| Artikel ini menyoroti hubungan antara sastera Melayu di Singapura dan sastera Malaysia serta negara-negara Nusantara yang lain dalam dunia Melayu. Ia mengkaji kesan perpisahan politik pada 9 Ogos 1965 ke atas kesusasteraan Melayu di Singapura. Adakah perpisahan selama hampir 50 tahun benar-benar memutuskan hubungan kesusasteraan Melayu antara Malaysia dan Singapura? Adakah karya-karya sastera Melayu mencerminkan perpecahan budaya antara budaya di Malaysia dan Singapura? Masih adakah kesinambungan berasaskan semangat serumpun yang asal? Artikel ini cuba menjawab soalan-soalan ini melalui perbincangan tentang perkembangan dalam sastera yang dikongsi sebelum tahun 1965, kesan dan tema "perpisahan" dalam karya-karya sastera, fasa pembangunan kesusasteraan sejak tahun 1965, serta pola-pola hubungan antara sastera Malaysia dan Singapura. | ||||

| The traditional Malay literary heritage is valuable and aplenty but is yet to be explored and fully utilized for the beneficial development of society, the nation and mankind at large. This article discusses the Malay literary heritage in America which was brought there in the early 19th century through two major American historical voyages to South East Asia: the Christian Missionary Movement from the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions or A.B.C.F.M (1834-1843) and the Wilkes Expedition, (the first American Scientific Expedition 1838-1842) which made a stopover in Singapore in 1843. This is some early research findings by the author when she was there under the Fulbright Visiting Scholars Program from November 2002 until May 2003, to do research at the University Berkeley, California, the Houghton Library, University Harvard and the Library of Congress, Washington USA. These research findings are important as it depicts the early historical ties between the United States and Southeast Asia, the development of the Malay language together with early Malay publications, and the involvement of the Christian missionaries in the history of literature and education in Singapore and Southeast Asia in general. | ||||

Ini merupakan antara penemuan penyelidikan awal oleh pengarang ketika menyertai Program Fulbright Visiting Scholars antara November 2003 hingga Mei 2003, untuk membuat penyelidikan di Universiti Berkeley, California, Perpustakaan Houghton, Universiti Harvard dan Perpustakaan Kongres, Washington Amerika Syarikat. Penemuan penyelidikan ini penting kerana menggambarkan hubungan sejarah awal antara Amerika Syarikat dengan Asia Tenggara, perkembangan bahasa Melayu bersama penerbitan awal Melayu, dan penglibatan para mubaligh Kristian dalam sejarah kesusasteraan dan pendidikan di Singapura dan Asia Tenggara secara umumnya. | ||||

| This presentation is on postmodern literature, Tamil culture and life in today’s context. Postmodernism began in the 1930s and has a strong impact on people’s lives even today. Its impact is evident in education, student-teacher relationship, curriculum development, research and analysis (Kretchmar, 2017). In our globalized lives, there are many cultural features, places and identities of a ‘woman’ in under privileged communities. The lives of Tamils in today’s world are some of the commonly used examples for the critical themes of postmodern literature. At the same time, there are many new thoughts about culture, Mother Tongue language preservation, interactions of cultures, hybrid identities of humans etc.; selected novels from Tamil Language have exposed many features of post modernism and the youth’s preferences in today’s postmodern literature. Following Modernism, Post modernism has its peak in many western countries and its wings have been strong in Tamil Nadu for the past two decades. The State could witness a significant change in lifestyle, way of communication, thought process and the day-to-day transactions. An increasing number of stories have dichotomies of old and new ethics, women then and now, family relationship and individual relationship, etc. This presentation will analyse postmodern literature and the Tamil community’s changing landscapes in India and overseas. | ||||

| Vazhinadaicinthu was sung to praise the deity at the Singapore Buddha Racecourse Road, Bramman temple. This piece serves as a rare work, which brings more glory to Singapore’s history of Tamil literature. Although the book was released in 1937, it has not gained popularity. As such, this paper aims to change this situation and share insights to how this book contributes greatly to Singapore’s history of Tamil literature. The book was composed by Jilla Muthu Pattanam V. S Muthu Nadar. In Atrupadai literature, the lead character’s hometown and places concerning him would be addresed. Following that, this trend was evident in epic literatures by describing the significance and characteristics of the country and city. This component is also present in Folklore literature as seen in Vazhinadaicinthu. This paper explains how the book portrays Singapore in the olden days and as well as how dialogues are present in between songs all while having a religious basis. This paper re-examines many of the olden words that are no longer used by the Tamil community in Singapore today and also sheds light on facts about Singapore that the Tamil community many not have been aware of. | ||||

| Nannoolaar has mentioned that language should be praised. Although the Tamil diaspora has been living on different land, they have maintained their culture, tradition and language with great care. This paper serves to show the influence of classic literature on Tamil diaspora literature using Singapore and Malaysian poems as a case-study. The two broad aspects of classical literature, namely Agam and Puram are present in the varied forms of today’s poems. Many themes of the past, on which our predecessor based their works on, such as chastity, worship, valor have branched out and become apparent in other forms in today's works. The impact of classical literature is not limited just to today’s literature, it will spread beyond and influence future works as well. The classical literary aspects found in Singapore and Malaysian poems are presented under the following classifications: the joy children bring, country, viewing everyone as a relation, family life, education, love, hard work, state of deprivation, poem structure, imagination. | ||||

| The history of Singapore's poetry can be split into two categories, before and after Singapore became a republic. This paper examines the content and path of Singapore poetry after it became a republic. Based on 1795 titles found in books published in the period of 25 years from 1965 to 1990, divine and love-based poems were widely written on. Following them, poems about social issues and songs sung based on titles given by radio stations took place. After independence, the immigrants who came here for their livelihood started contributing intensely to the growth of poetry in Singapore. They wrote poems to shed light on their lives and living conditions in those days. After 1990s, Singapore Tamil immigrants have greatly contributed to the growth of Singapore Tamil poetry. Singapore writer’s association, community centres, the national library board have organised numerous events to encourage people to write poems. Prizes were also awarded. However, it is worrying that people come forward to take part in these events for their personal gain and not for the interest in the development of poetry. It is the duty of Singapore born Tamils to uphold Tamil Language for the future. Not doing so, makes us believe that its fate is left open to be decided by future Tamil immigrants. | ||||

| The aim of this paper is to look at how the Singapore Tamil Radio has contributed to Singapore Children’s Tamil Literature and how it has helped the growth of Tamil Language and Tamil writers in Singapore. The Singapore Tamil Radio has broadcasted programs for all ages of children since 1950s. From young kindergarten students to older secondary students, the producers have put time and effort in making connections to each age group. The producers enthusiastically went out into the community and allowed for children to participate live in the telecasts. Not only has the producer of programme written songs for children, but has given the opportunity for children to sing the songs themselves. Later on, these songs have become books that now can be shared by all children. This radio has brought many benefits to Tamil literature and children. This paper will further examine the positive effects of the Singapore Tamil radio on children. | ||||

| Tamil Literature, perceived to be a representation of culture and a reflection of time was written in Singapore by Tamil diasporas amidst various difficulties, due to their fuelling interest in creative writing. History of Singapore Tamil literature started before 1887 where writers faced immense struggles. For example, in the 1960s the number of people writing literary works was very minimal because people who came to Singapore for a living found writing literature burdensome. Moreover, those who had the interest to write literature did not have any proper guidance to write quality literature pieces. Added to that, even when people successfully wrote literature works, there were not enough opportunities granted to publish them. Singapore Tamil literature, which thrived amidst these problems, started off producing literary works about Holy Gods and life of the diasporas. After that, more literary works were created which emphasised on reformation of society, World War II incidents, religious beliefs after the separation of Singapore from Malaysia, Singapore Tamil society, love and more. Initial stages in the history of Singapore Tamil literature saw it growing into different dimensions such as into poems, novels, short stories, and drama. Hence, this paper would like to enlighten about the path Tamil people journeyed and challenges they faced in the history of Singapore Tamil literature. Singapore is growing in a fast-paced manner. Thus, if Tamil people do not document their history in an appropriate way, they may not have the opportunity to know their history completely. This concern becomes the underlying basis and cause for this paper. | ||||

| Instructional materials, teachers and students are the three key components in education reforms. Among them, teachers play an instrumental role in interpreting the instructional materials and translating the learning content into students’ learning experiences. Curricular adaptation by teachers and the ways in which they utilise instructional materials have thus been key issues of focus in education reforms. This study, premised on the “top-down” implementation of the 2015 Chinese language textbooks in Singapore primary schools by the Ministry of Education, seeks to analyse teachers’ curriculum transformation. Using qualitative and quantitative data gathered from classroom discourse with a two-dimensional coding scheme, the preliminary findings indicate the presence of curriculum deduction at the levels of formal curriculum, perceived curriculum, operational curriculum and experienced curriculum, mainly in the aspects of language skills learning and self-directed learning. | ||||
| 在教育改革中，课程教材、教师、学生乃三大关键。其中，教师在课程教材与学生学习之间的衔接传递作用最大，教师课程转化与教材应用因此成为教育改革中引人关注的课题。本研究基于新加坡教育部对2015年小学华文教材“自上而下”的推行，通过对课堂观察的话语分析与教学设计两方面进行分析，检查教师课程转化现象。初步研究结果显示，正式课程与教师知觉课程、运作课程、学生经验课程之间因为教师中心教学习惯的影响而存在课程递减现象，主要反映在言语技能学习与自主学习这两方面。 | ||||
| 2020 | CL2 Classroom Language: A Beginner’s Perspective (In Chinese) 汉语作为二语教学的课堂语言:初学者视角 | Goh Yeng Seng | Journal-Refereed | |
| Classroom language is most often the first exposure to the target language for a beginner learner in a Chinese as a second language (CL2) class. Learners listen to the teacher using the target language to give instructions, to explain classroom activities, and to encourage them to complete learning tasks, while on the other hand, use the target language to communicate with the teacher. Classroom language thus plays a significant role in facilitating the process of teaching and learning. Effective communication between teachers and learners has a direct impact on the implementation of classroom activities and the completion of teaching and learning tasks. It is also a key to establishing a positive relationship between teachers and learners in the classroom and to enhancing the quality of classroom experience. At present, most of, if not all, Chinese textbooks for beginner learners provide a list of classroom expressions, without any classification based on its communicative function. Taking into account the needs and the base language of the second language beginners, this paper proposes a framework for classroom language use in CL2 teaching. | ||||
| 课堂语言是二语初学者在课堂最先接触的目标语口语材料。学习者一方面聆听教师通过目标语交代事项、进行课堂活动说明、鼓励完成学习任务等；学习者另一方面使用目标语和教师进行交流，课堂语言在教学环节的重要性也就不言而喻。教师与学生的沟通是否有效将直接影响课堂活动的进行和教学任务的完成，对建立良好师生互动关系及保持学生学习动力和兴趣也起着关键作用。目前坊间的初级汉语教材大多采取大量列举课堂语言材料的方式，却未依据其交际功能进行分类。本文将从初学者实际需求出发，提出汉语作为二语教学课堂语言的交际功能与设计框架，为未来教材编写提供指引。 | ||||

| 谢克（1931——），新加坡著名前辈作家。他曾当过中学华文老师，也当过《明报》及《南洋商报》的副刊编辑；虽然著作不丰，但成绩斐然。可惜的是，有关谢克的作品研究，无论是内容，或是语言特色等方面的探讨，稍嫌匮乏，让人扼腕。或许是受到“南洋色彩”和“本地意识”创作论的影响，谢克在内容上，努力展现南洋的社会风情，无论是故事的发生地点，或是人物的塑造，让人读来，倍感熟悉、亲切。在语言的运用上，谢克也特意突显本地的用语特色。当然，好的作品，作者独特的用语特点，如语言的变异等现象，也应予以重视。本文拟从谢克短篇小说集——《新加坡小景》，在词语、短语、句子上如何巧妙运用，作一番梳理。 | ||||

| Since the introduction of 21cc skills education at the beginning of the new century, values have attracted the attention of countries all over the world and are regarded as the core of the 21cc literacy. Many countries have put forward clear and definite values as the primary connotation in the implementation of the education system. There are many strategies for effectively imparting values, and integration into courses and textbooks is the most common approach, especially to reflect values through Chinese textbooks. In Singapore Chinese teaching, in addition to static cardboard textbooks, humanistic literacy and values have also penetrated into the multi-modal teaching material-video as a catalyst for speaking tasks. Video speaking has become an important examination mode in the assessment of Chinese in primary and secondary schools. The video is the closest real life and most vivid language teaching material in the multi-modal form, and its influence on students' thinking is obvious. This research takes modern multi-modal learning rescources as the research scope,and had collected 40 videos used for primary and secondary school students,Thematic coding analysis method was applied as the research strategy, and deeply analyzes how the multi-modal textbook presents the content of values education. The results of the research show that Singapore has formed a "VSK value-oriented" curriculum design model, and the goal of listening, speaking and speaking in Singapore’s mother tongue teaching can be positioned as language interaction guided by value culture. The themes of values education coding are values content (220), practical skills (191), belief and awareness building (140) and learning outcomes (235), a total of 969 codes. The analysis results have five major findings: 1. Compared with personal value literacy, values education pays more attention to the cultivation of interpersonal relationships and social awareness; 2. Harmonious social awareness is the top priority in Singapore’s core values education; respect, care, and responsibility Ethical-oriented relationship management, emotional management and interpersonal communication skills such as integrity and integrity are the methods to achieve a harmonious society. 3. "Perseverance" is the neglected gap in the six core values. Fourth, the primary school stage is the key foundation-laying stage for the instillation of values education; Fifth, the presentation form of the multi-modal teaching materials of the video is mainly based on animation and visual, and the complementary strategy of narration and hearing is done. | ||||
| 自21世纪素养教育提出以来，价值观就备受世界各国的关注，被视为是核心素养之核心，各国纷纷提出清晰、 明确取向的价值理念，以作为落实核心素养培养系统中的首要内涵。有效传授价值观的策略很多，融入课程与教材则是最普遍的做法，尤其是通过语文教材来体现价值观。在新加坡华文教学中，除了静态的纸板教材之外，人文素养与价值观内涵也渗透入以多模态教材-录像为触媒的说话任务中，录像说话已成中小学华文评估里的重要考查模式。录像为多模态形式里最接近真实生活、最生动的语言教材，对学生思想的影响力显而易见。本研究以现代多模态说话教材为研究范围，收集40个中小学录像说话教材，以主题编码分析法为探究策略，深入分析多模态教材如何呈现价值观教育内容。研究结果显示，新加坡已形成“VSK价值观导向”的课程设计模式，而新加坡母语教学下的听说口语目标可定位为价值文化导向下的语言互动。价值观教育编码主题为价值观内容（220）、实践技能（191）、信念意识建设（140）与学习成果（235），一共969条编码。分析结果有五大发现：一、与个人价值素养相比，价值观教育更重视人际关系与社会意识培养；二、和谐的社会意识是新加坡核心价值观教育中的重中之重；尊重、关爱、负责任、正直等的伦理导向的关系管理、情绪管理与人际沟通技巧则是达成和谐社会的方法。三、“坚毅”是六大核心价值观中被忽略的缺口。四、小学阶段是价值观教育灌输的重点奠基阶段；五、录像的多模态教材呈现形式以动画视觉为主，旁白听觉点睛的互补策略进行。 | ||||

| The proliferation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) offers the opportunities for the construction of a potentially effective technological environment for language learning. We refer to such an environment as “Technology-Enhanced Optimal Language Learning Space”. Such a learning space extends the language learners’ conventional classroom-bound learning trajectory to their open-ended authentic daily living spaces. Furthermore, it facilitates the bridging of formal and informal learning, and individual and social learning, and makes the learning experience cross-contextual, more contextualised and interactive, as well as privileges learners’ self-directed-ness in identifying emerging learning opportunities to carry out linguistic tasks in their daily lives. This paper reports on two case studies of such learning spaces, code-named MyCLOUD and LI-nterChange respectively. The intentions were to investigate the significance of technology-mediated extension of language learning space in learning Chinese as a second language. The studies are rooted in Bernard Spolsky’s Conditions for Second Language Learning. Our findings indicate that the “Technology-Enhanced Optimal Language Learning Spaces” were effective in improving the learners’ communicative skills. However, given the diversified backgrounds of the learners, what contextual learning opportunities that the learners have encountered and how they leverage on such opportunities also varied. | ||||
| 资讯科技迅速发展为学习架设起一个新科技空间，并成为语言学习的优空间，笔者称之为“TELLS科技+优语言空间”（Technology Enhanced Optimal Language Learning Space）。它让封闭于课堂内的传统学习空间延伸至开放的生活，并把课堂与生活、正式与非正式、个人与社群相互联系的桥嫁接起来，成为寻求及利用生活中的学习机遇的真实语言学习环境。此空间出现以来，有关研究犹如雨后春笋，但论述主要聚焦与技术层的讨论。本文聚焦技术科技增强后的学习环境创设，以“语飞行云”与“语用连群”无缝学习研究案例为例，检测使用技术增强扩大语言的学习空间对华文作为第二语言学习的意义。检测立论于伯纳德·斯波尔斯基的第二语言学习条件（Conditions for Second Language Learning）。研究发现，“TELLS科技+优语言空间”对学习成效有正面促进作用，但会因为学习对象背景不同而调动不同的语言学习条件。 | ||||

| Bilingual policy has always been the cornerstone of Singapore’s education system. With the intergenerational change of home language environment in Singapore homes, Chinese language (CL) students’ profile is becoming more diverse; CL teachers are facing challenges in meeting the different needs of the students within their classrooms.
Ministry of Education (MOE) introduced the new Chinese Language Syllabus in 2015 and placed a greater emphasis on “recognizing students’ different starting points”. With the aim to facilitate teachers to adopt student-centric and customized approaches, differentiated lesson activities were suggested and stated in the teacher’s guide. The success of innovative reforms lies with the teachers, who are the most crucial agents of change (Harwood, Hanson and Lotter, 2006; Godlad, 1979). As “one size fits all” approach no longer works, teachers need take a differentiated approach to instruction and recognize that a range of tactics must be utilized in order to reach every student. As such, this study aims to find out how classroom teachers can effectively implement a variety of differentiated instruction strategies in the teaching of speaking and listening skills in heterogeneous (mixed-ability) classes, to help students of different performace-level to meet their instructional goals. Following the framework of Differentiated Instruction (DI) (Tomlinson, 2017) the design of the lesson is differentiated in terms of process (lesson activities) and product (lesson objectives), with the use of ICT and cooperative grouping. This study adopts the lesson study approach, research lessons are conducted in 4 primary schools, modifications and evaluation are based on data collect during each classroom observation. The findings and discussions in this study will be relevant to all classroom teachers. This study proposes that students can learn effectively if teachers are mindful of their differing learning needs and incorporate differentiated instruction strategies which are thoughtfully crafted. | ||||
| 双语政策一直是新加坡教育的基石。近年来，随着家庭语言环境的变化，母语（特别是华文）教学面临着越来越大的挑战。 新加坡教育部在2015年发布的小学华文课程标准中，提出了“照顾学生的个别差异”的课程理念，课程设计也针对不同语言背景和能力的学生，分为不同的层次，在教学建议中，也特别指出了对不同能力的学生应采用不同的教学要求。因此，在实际的教学过程中，教师不得不考虑在教学策略上做出改变，设计出不同于传统教学的新架构。 本研究主要目的是探讨在小学华文听说技能教学中，如何有效应用差异教学的策略，以达到量体裁衣、帮助学生有效学习的目标。本研究将采用课例研究的方法，在四间不同背景的小学进行一系列的教学实验，探讨的层面包括教学目标、教学内容、教学活动设计、教学评估及教学成果等。本研究希望针对差异教学，从教学设计到实施、评量等环节给教师提供新的教学思路，同时在课室管理、弹性分组、ICT技术、教学氛围等方面，给教师提供一些有效的教学建议。 | ||||
| 2019 | Research on Teachers' Learning Style and Teaching Style 教师的学习风格与教学风格研究 | Choong Kok Weng | Book Chapters | |
| A teacher’s learning style can have an impact on the student’s learning styles. (Zhang, 2004) There is a strong close correlation between teachers teaching style and his own learning style. Studying a teachers’ teaching style will enable us to understand how teachers' beliefs affects their teaching behaviour and help teachers improve their teaching quality. (Heimlich & Norland, 2002) Studies have shown that a teacher’s teaching style is closely related to their personality type. Therefore, we must address the impact of a teacher’s personality towards their learning styles and teaching styles. (Cooper, 2001) This paper uses Oxford’s (1993) Style Analysis Survey and Cooper’s (2001) Teaching Activity Preference to study on twenty-two international Chinese language trainee teachers in my faculty to understand their personality, learning styles and teaching styles, in order to help these teachers fully understand their teaching strengths and their teaching potential, and thus enhancing their teaching quality and efficiency. | ||||
| 教师的学习风格对学生的学习风格起着互动的关系，并对学生的学习产生影响。（Zhang, 2004）而教师的教学风格，则与他本身的学习风格有着密切的关系。研究教师的教学风格，可使我们了解教师的教学信念如何影响教学行为，帮助教师本身提升其教学品质。（Heimlich & Norland, 2002）研究结果显示，教师的教学与其自身的人格型态关系密切。因此，我们必须正视教师的人格型态对其学习风格和教学风格的影响。（Cooper, 2001）本篇论文使用Oxford (1993) 设置的Style Analysis Survey 量表和Cooper (2001) 设置的Teaching Activity Preference量表，对我系22名国际汉语培训教师进行研究，了解他们在人格型态、学习风格和教学风格方面的相互关系，以帮助这群教师更全面地了解自己的教学优势和有待开发的教学潜能，进而提升他们的教学质量和教学效益。 | ||||

| 2019 | Teaching of “Classical Chinese Prose” in Universities under a Unique Bilingual Environment Sinologia Hispanica: China Studies Review, 8(null), 121-138. 新加坡特殊二语环境下“古文”教学的对策探讨 | Li Jia | Journal-Refereed | |
| The teaching of classical Chinese prose in Singapore involves challenges peculiar to the bilingual environment, which suggest a need for new strategies based on a crucial recognition of the difference between teaching literature and teaching language. The paper argues for a key pedagogical approach based on the teaching of literary aspects in ancient prose with the help of problem-based learning. This would also involve systematic classification in order to consolidate different strategies suited for different types of Classical Chinese Prose. These strategies include mind mapping, five thinking hats and so on. Through an approach of problem-based learning, one may motivate students to explore ancient articles more enthusiastically, foster their critical thinking and creative ability, thereby enhancing their cognitive ability, and increasing their interest in learning ancient articles. Through the reading, understanding and analysis of subtle words, one may improve the students’ ability in literary appreciation, and prompt them to explore more sophisticated interpretation, thereby enhancing their cultivation in the humanities. | ||||

| Language learning is inseparable from language training. Effective practice design is an important prerequisite and guarantee of the quality and effectiveness of language teaching. The exercise book is not only an important part of textbook, but also a key part of teaching. Compared with researches on the exercise books of Chinese teaching and Teaching Chinese as a foreign language, the research on exercise books of Oversea Chinese teaching is very few. In CNKI (National Knowledge Infrastructure) database system of China, there are only two journal papers and two master’s theses on exercise book of Oversea Chinese, and none of these studies involve the exercise books used in Singapore. This paper aims to conduct a preliminary analysis and research on the exercise books of the new version of Chinese textbook in Singapore primary school based on Chinese language for primary schools: Activity Book 4A). From the perspective of cognitive strategies of language teaching, the article summarizes the general characteristics of the exercises books and points out its merits and further improvements. This study helps to deepen the understanding of Chinese exercise, but also provide reference for teachers to use activity books effectively. | ||||
| 语言学习离不开语言训练，有效的练习设计是语言教学质量和效力的重要前提和保证。练习既是教材的重要组成部分，也是教学实施的关键环节。相对语文与对外汉语教材练习的研究，华文教材练习的研究成果并不多。在中国大陆CNKI文献系统中，有关“华文”练习的研究只有期刊两篇与硕士论文两篇，且这些研究都未涉及新加坡华文教材练习。本文以新加坡小学华文教材《欢乐伙伴》四年级华文活动本（上册）为样本，对新加坡小学新版华文教材的练习进行初步分析与研究。本文从语言教学的认知策略视角切入，总结新加坡小学新编华文教材练习设计的总体特征，指出其优点和可进一步改进之处。本研究有助于加深对华文练习的认识，也能为教师高效运用课本练习提供相关参考意见。 | ||||

| Chinese literature education in Singapore could be traced back to the secondary Chinese textbooks used by early Chinese schools and its developmental path had been fraught with complications and difficulties. This essay will use the 1959 Chinese Syllabus for Primary and Secondary Schools, 2006 Chinese Literature Syllabus for Secondary Schools, the 2013 and 2018 Chinese Literature Syllabus for Secondary Schools as the main threads in exploring the various major changes made towards Chinese literature education in Singapore. This essay will also examine the continuous exploration and efforts made in Singapore’s creation of its own literature education during this process. | ||||
| 新加坡的华文文学教育可追溯至早期华校的中学华文课本，发展至今经历了曲折历程。本文以1959年颁布的《华文中小学华文课程标准》、2006年颁布的《中学华文文学课程标准》以及2013以及2018年颁布了《中学华文文学课程标准》为主要线索，探讨在这些框架指导下，新加坡华文文学教材发生的几次重要嬗变，并探讨在此过程中新加坡对于建构自身文学教育的不断探索与努力。 | ||||

| Chinese Language creative writing instruction in Singapore has been unable to shake off traditional teaching routines because teachers fear that over-emphasis will cause students to go off-topic in examinations. The Singapore Centre for Chinese Language and Nanyang Girls’ High School launched a year-long school-based research project in 2012, using iPads to supplement creative writing. Results indicate that the iPad strengthens the connectivity of knowledge and obtains seamless learning results, beneficial to the teaching of creative writing in the Chinese Language and students’ creative thinking abilities. | ||||

| In the educational vision of “the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road” ("One Belt, One Road" for short) construction, countries can work together, learn from each other, seek common interests in research and training, and build a "One Belt, One Road" Chinese education community. The educational concept is bound to be constantly changing in this new era of open cooperation. We have evolved from a teacher-centered classroom to a student-centered teaching and learning approach. A variety of new teaching methods that teach students in accordance with their aptitude and adapt to the times have also emerged. Contemporary Chinese teachers must keep abreast of the times and constantly input new concepts of education and teaching to better export teaching strategies and methods for students and classrooms. Under the background of such training, the National Institute of Education, which is responsible for the on-the-job training of all Chinese teachers from pre-school to high school in Singapore, and the Singapore Chinese Teaching and Research Center, have upheld the original training concept and strategy of "Research - Validation - Train" in Chinese teacher training. The article focuses on the strategy and model of "integrating research and teaching", and is based on other related research and education and teaching units under the "One Belt, One Road" perspective. | ||||
| 在"一带一路"建设的教育愿景中,各国可携手合作,互学互鉴,在研究和培训方面谋求共同的利益,构建"一带一路"华文教育共同体。教育理念在这个共商共建,开放合作的新时代肯定也不断地在改变。我们已经从过去以教师为主的"一言堂",进化为以学生为中心的教与学。各种因材施教、因时制宜的新教学法也大量涌现。当代的华文教师必须与时并进,不断地输入教育新知和教学新概念,方能更好地为学生和课堂输出教学策略和方法。在这样的培训大背景底下,负责新加坡从学前到高中所有华文教师在职培训的国立教育学院以及新加坡华文教研中心,秉持了独创的"先研—后证—再教"的培训理念与策略,展开汉语师资培训。文章重点介绍"研证教合一"的策略和模式,以资其他"一带一路"视域下的相关专题研究及教育教学单位参考。 | ||||

| Taking Taylor's model as a starting point, we will provide a brief introduction to the festivals teaching in Singapore, which is widely known to cover multiple races, and frame the direction and context of the festivals’ teaching activities. The introduction of the festival is written in the context of general knowledge and the values represented in early childhood education. The simple and emotional readings provided to kindergarten teachers and the number of simple teaching activities that can be operated in kindergartens vary. We hope that the content of this book can give kindergarten teachers the inspiration, so that teachers can extend and modify the teaching plans provided in the book according to the age and degree of the children in the class, and the teaching plans can also be transferred to and improved with each other. Each lesson plan also suggests a lesson plan to provide teachers with a reference for teaching assessment. | ||||

| News Heading is equally important to a piece of good write up of a news article. The reasons behind are essential as the headings may be a good reason for a reader to choose to continue reading the full articles. Sometimes, a good heading is also a determined factor for a reader to buy the newspapers. This is exceptionally important for the two Chinese evening newspapers found locally. In order to attract more readers, a lot of efforts have been put in to create a good news heading, which always revolves around a good choice of lexical items to be used. This paper aims at further discussion on the significance of the use of words, figures of speech as well as how to make adjustment or alteration of the above mentioned twos, to create a different reading experience, which can be found in Wan Bao. The news headings collected are from July to November 2017. | ||||
| 翻阅报章，首先映入眼帘的便是标题。标题写得生动与否，与字词的使用，有密切的关系。新加坡的晚间报纸有两份：《晚报》、《新明》。两份晚间报纸的竞争，较之独树一帜的《早报》，更为激烈。夜间报纸要如何脱颖而出，争取读者，标题文字上的苦心经营，必不可少。而文字要如何使用，才能让所要表达的事物，如立纸上，正有待进一步探究。本文便是根据收集自2017年7月至12月间，出现在《晚报》上的标题，一探其用语特点。这些特点，从词语到辞格的运用，一一论及。 关键词： 段落语块 作文教学 段落教学 段落内容 | ||||

| While talking on how to write an essay, people tend to emphasize more on the methodologies then on analyzing what are the components that a good essay has, and on how to ensure the students know how to write well. Many a time, teachers tend to focus more on how to make the writing lessons more lively and enjoyable, and make sure the students will write more and hope that they can pick up the skills along the way. This is not totally wrong as students write well when they enjoy writing, and, the interest will serve as a motivational factor. However, if we take a closer look at the components of an essay, we may be able to discover a better way to help the students to master the skills. Essay, is in fact, composed of many paragraphs and by mastering the skills of writing good paragraphs, which are usually shorter and more concise that an essay, will actually help the students to understand the writing technique better. In this article, a discussion on how ‘chunking’ can be used to help us in our teaching of writing is discussed in the following twos:(1) the contents and functions of different paragraphs, and (2) the effective ways of teaching the students how to write paragraphs. Keywords: paragraph chunking, essay writing, teaching of paragraphs, contents and functions of paragraphs. | ||||
| 作文教学的讨论，多围绕在如何教才会有趣、才能引起学生的学习兴趣。大体来说，大家都在强调的，是要如何完成一篇完整的文章。我们似乎忽略了文章本身，是由不同的“段落”所组成。学生若能把握不同段落的写法，并巧妙地加以组合，应能写出好文章。也因此，“段落”的教学，应予以重视。“段落”的教学，正符合西方学者所提倡的“语块”（chunking）的概念。 “语块”的概念本是用在词语的教学上，但这一概念，其实也能借用来教导语篇的段落。不同的“段落语块”，功能及内容各异，却又因其短小精悍，相对于一篇完整的文章而言，写法更易掌握；简言之，段落写作，应纳入作文教学的一环。 本文主要探讨的内容有二：一、分析不同“段落语块”的内容及功能、二、 讨论 并建议“段落语块”的有效教学法，借以剖析“段落写作”的奥妙。 关键词： 段落语块 作文教学 段落教学 段落内容 | ||||

| Drama Education was introduced into the school system to improve and refine Chinese teaching and learning after the prevailing of “Teach Less, Learn More” and “Active Learner, Proficient User” policies implemented by the Ministry of Education in 2004 and 2011. However, the implementation and current situation of Drama Education have hardly been studied thoroughly. Adopting phenomenography as the research methodology, this paper aims to analyze the experiences and conceptions on Drama Education among teachers who have participated in Drama Education experiments. The ultimate goal is to comprehend the proceeding of Drama Education in Chinese education, form a Gestalt conceptualized structure on teachers’ perception of Chinese Education in Singapore, and to propose suggestions on the future of Chinese Education. | ||||

| This study is an informal pilot study conducted in Singapore, a small multi-racial society adopting the English-and-mother-tongue Bilingual education policy for the sake of economic development and social harmony, aiming to study parents’ attitude, perceptions and behaviours towards bilingual education. The study involves 78 young Singapore’s Chinese parents, using four methodologies, namely, multiple choice questionnaire, one to one interview, check list, and focus group discussion to collect data. Qualitative and quantitative researches have shown four important findings. First, growing up in a bilingual education environment, where young parents are competent in both languages. These families have great potential in raising bilingual children. These parents acknowledge the importance of learning mother tongue to maintain cultural heritage, and they also realize that Chinese could become their next generation’s crucial social capital in the future. Second, it is necessary to see the fact that the dominance of English has hindered the determination and attitude of young parents who at first tried to build a balanced bilingual learning environment for their children but later compromised or even gave up due to the challenges their children have met in acquiring English language. More attention should be placed on the gap between young parents’ positive attitude and passive behaviour in supporting children’s bilingual learning. Third, there are some misunderstandings about bilingual learning. Some parents’ doubt or deny the possibilities of fostering bilingual children, and simply assumed that the learning of Chinese language would impede their children’s English competencies. Moreover, they regard tuition centres as the best way to solve children’s learning problems or improve their Chinese language proficiency. Fourth, parents’ focus more on children’s primary school studies rather than kindergarten period, including learning interest, reading and writing of written language abilities. More in depth researches are needed to examine the relevance of those four findings as well as proposing a more comprehensive perspective for researches on Singapore’s future bilingual education reform and development. | ||||
| 本研究乃一次非正式的小型先导研究，在本属于多元种族社会，为国家经济发展与社会和谐需要而采取英文优先、母语跟上的双语教育政策的小国里探究家长对双语学习的态度、认知与行为。本研究通过多项选择问卷调查、清单检查、一对一访谈、焦点小组讨论、四种方法，邀请78位新加坡年轻华人家长参与研究。量化和质化的数据分析结果有四点重要发现：第一、在双语教育体系下成长的年轻家长双语能力兼具、这些家庭其实存在培养双语能力的优势与潜能；他们也认同母语学习对保留族群文化认同的意义，并意识到华语很可能成为孩子未来的重要的社会资本。其次，由于社会上普遍存在英语优先的务实心态，年轻家长在创设有利于双语习得，尤其是母语习得的家庭环境时，虽然一开始都怀抱平衡输入双语的理想，但在面对影响孩子掌握英语时的各种挑战时，就开始妥协，甚至于放弃。这种态度积极但行为消极的矛盾值得关注。第三，家长面对双语习得时存在一些认知上的误区，包括：家长以自己华语程度不够好而质疑甚至否定自己培养双语儿童的可能、简单地认为孩子的双语习得是遵循此消彼长的递减法则和以把孩子送往华文补习班为解决学习困难、提升华文水平的最便利方法。第四，家长关注的华文学习问题不在学前阶段，而是小学阶段，其中包括学习兴趣和书面语的读写能力。以上四种发现是否具备普遍意义，有必要深入调查；为新加坡未来的双语教育改革与发展提供更全面的思考角度。 | ||||

| Language learning beliefs play a profound effect on learning behavior and learning outcomes. This paper uses Horwitz's (1988) The Beliefs about Language Learning Inventory (BALLI) for the 33 MATCIL students, in order to help them understand their own foreign language learning beliefs. When the MATCIL students have a better understanding of their own foreign language learning beliefs, in the future, they will become a language teacher who teaches Chinese as a foreign language, since they will have a better understanding of how their students feel about learning Chinese as a foreign language. They can be a role model and will also be able to provide proper guidance to students to establish the correct beliefs about language learning in Chinese, and enhance students' interest and confidence, so that students will be successful in learning Chinese as a foreign language. | ||||

According to the author's background, four is about classroom praxis from front-line teachers; three is school-oriented researches cooperated by the Teaching and Research Center, National Institute of Education and schools, and four individual studies from experts and scholars in related fields. According to the content, there are six classroom teaching praxis: two studies on information technology teaching, two is about teaching reading comprehensions, two is of teaching evaluations, one is on vocabulary learning, one is on writing, one is about teaching literary works; and three teacher competence researches: an article on teachers’ knowledge structure and ability, an article on teacher learning styles; and an analysis of textbook language knowledge. The research papers from the frontline teachers are based on the current students' learning needs and the classroom. However, starting from the theory, they propose a new strategy for learning Chinese, and are committed to fulfilling the educational reform mission of joy in learning and competence in using the language. The school-based researches included in the Volume 9 are aimed at cultivating research-oriented teachers, so that they have the research consciousness and master the research methods in order to find a solution to the daily teaching problems. The researchers also look into the new spaces and new roles of Chinese teaching from a macro perspective or a post-study perspective, such as exploring how information technology breaks through the time and space constraints of the classroom, implementing a seamless learning concept, and providing more opportunities for language applications; teachers have also become a new research focus in education in recent years. There is also a study in this volume uses text analysis as a research method to explore the application of language ontology and guide teachers to pay attention to the deep problem of “what to learn”. | ||||

| Festivals are important occasions for the people and are accumulated through life experience in a long term. These important days usually have a close relationship with the local natural and social environment. As the seasons change, different seasons reflect different seasonal meanings, which also reflect people's living habits and local cultural characteristics. Traditional festivals are important cultural assets in Chinese culture, reflecting the rules of people's lives and their cultural values, as well as connecting generations, individuals and families, and individuals and society. Since festivals are often highly correlated with local cultural characteristics, these local cultures are important life experiences for young children. The teacher should start from the life experience of the children, follow their natural curiosity and exploration and help them observe and feel the things around them. In the process of personally participating in social and cultural activities and festivals, experience the meaning of these activities, and proactively interpret the information in real life situations and establish the interaction between individuals and the environment. By providing children with diverse social and cultural activities, the teacher guides them to connect with previous experience and integrate new experiences to learn the meaning of festivals and life. | ||||
| 节庆是百姓在长远的生活经验中所积累保留的重要日子，这些重要的日子通常会与当地的自然、社会环境有着密切的关系。 随着四季变换，不同的时节反映出不同的节令意义，而这当中也体现了人们的生活习惯与当地的文化特色。传统节庆是华人文化中的重要文化资产，反映了人们生活的经验法则与蕴含的文化价值，同时连结各世代之间，个人与家庭，以及个人与社会。 由于节庆通常与当地文化特色具有相当高度的关联，这些当地文化对于幼儿来说就是重要的生活经验。老师应根据幼儿天生好奇、探索的特质，从其生活经验出发，帮助幼儿从中观察、感受周遭的人事物。在亲身参与社会文化活动、节庆活动的过程中，体验这些活动的意义，并能主动解读生活情境中的讯息，建立个人与环境互动关系。老师藉由提供幼儿多样的社会文化活动经验，引导他们连结旧经验、整合新经验，以体验节庆与生活的意义。 | ||||

| Though Chinese literature is not the main core subject in Singapore, each year this subject attracts quite a number of students to register for the course. However, compared to Chinese literacy, there is a huge gap regarding the student number who register for Chinese literature. This is probably the reason why there are not many studies done in this area. From the perspective of aesthetic education to address issues of literature, we should attach more importance to appreciating literature works. When some of the new teachers in Singapore are teaching Chinese literature, the first problem they encounter is how to design the curriculum. However, Chinese literature and Chinese literacy are essentially different in teaching and learning. Therefore, regarding the teaching of Chinese Literature, we need to apply a pedagogy of “from knowing to appreciating” the literature works to the students. How new teachers teach Chinese literature and guide students from knowing to appreciating literature is the focus of the present study. This paper will discuss curriculum designing as well as pedagogy to enhance the teaching and learning of Chinese literature. | ||||
| 文学教学，在新加坡虽不是学校主要的教学科目，但每一年都能吸引若干学生修读。不过，若与学习语文的学生相比，人数仍有极大的差距；或因如此，新加坡有关文学教学的问题及成果的研究，不免稍嫌匮乏。若从“美学”教育这一角度来看文学教学，属于“美学”教育的文学其实应受重视。新加坡一些新晋教师在教导文学时，遇到的第一个问题往往是如何设计教学课程。文学与语文教学在本质上有所不同，所以在教学上，应采用由认识到欣赏的教学方法，老师方能一步步带领学生走入文学鉴赏的殿堂。新晋教师要如何教导文学，引领学生从认识到喜爱文学，自然成为关注的问题。本文便是从这两处探析新加坡文学教学及其课程设计。 | ||||

| 2017 | Current Status and Strategy of Information Literacy of Chinese Teachers in Primary and Secondary Schools in Southwestern China International Journal of Information and Education Technology Journal 1st author 中国西南地区中小学教师信息素养现状及对策 | Wang Bing | Journal-Refereed | |
| Information literacy for teachers is the ability of retrieval, analysis, storage, using, disseminating and creating information in the teaching process. From questionnaire and data analysis on hundreds of Chinese teachers in primary and secondary schools in southwestern China, we can draw the following overall conclusions，namely their information literacy and awareness are relatively weak. Therefore, we suggest that improving information literacy of this group needs concerted effort from three aspects: 1) foster Chinese teachers’ information awareness; 2) strengthen the training of Chinese teachers; 3) strengthen the ability of integrating information technology and Chinese course of teachers. | ||||
| 教师的信息素养是指在教学过程中检索，分析，存储，使用，传播和创建信息的能力。 从中国西南地区中小学数百名中文老师的问卷调查和数据分析，我们可以得出信息素养和意识相对较弱的总体结论。 因此，我们建议提高这一群体的信息素养需要从三个方面共同努力：1）培养中文教师的信息意识; 2）加强对中文教师的信息技术培训; 3）加强信息技术与汉语教师整合能力。 | ||||
| 2017 | On Teaching of Chinese Character Culture in Chinese Education Overseas Chinese Education, No.6, 768-776. 华文教育中的汉字文化教育 | Xu Feng | Journal-Refereed | |
| It has been a long time that the form, pronunciation and the meaning of the Chinese Character as well as the Chinese character writing skills are regarded as a whole Chinese character teaching, and it has a unique historical background. The Chinese character attributes are not receiving considerable attention is the reason to explain the weakening education of Chinese character culture in the Chinese character learning and teaching education. It is the trinity of the form, pronunciation and the meaning of the Chinese Character and a long-term accumulation of cultural elements in the Chinese character system that make the cultural education to be a non-separable component of Chinese character learning and teaching. We should enforce the teaching of the Chinese Character Culture, and tap on the potentials of elements of Chinese character culture on different teaching levels actively. At the same time, the design of the teaching of Chinese character need to take into consideration of the diversified learner’s background and their needs. | ||||
| 长久以来，汉字形音义以及汉字的书写技能被看作汉字教学的重点甚至是全部，汉字文化教育的淡化有其深刻的历史原因。作为一种表意性质文字，汉字字形与汉字音义的关联以及汉字中所积淀下来的各种文化要素决定了汉字教学无法脱离汉字文化教育。华文教育应主动积极发掘汉字的文化因素，在各个不同层面强化汉字文化教育。同时，汉字文化的教学应充分重视不同背景学习者的差异性需求。 | ||||

| Scholars have been showing great interest in the Thinking Mode, Cognition Mechanism and Information Processing during the process of second language learning. Efforts have been exerted on the figuring out of the relationship between mother tongue and target language, and the major role mother tongue plays in the whole process of cognition operation. This paper, on the basis of ‘Knowledge-Cognition-Meta cognition’ theory, conducts an investigation of 130 junior high students from four middle schools in Singapore on how mother tongue thinking monitors Chinese (L2) learning through the stimulus of textbook English notes. This survey, consisting of three parts including vocabulary, sentence and discourse learning, aims to explore the deep operation mechanism of mother tongue thinking monitoring, and they are autonomous learning intention monitoring, independent understanding monitoring, quick understanding monitoring, rapid memorizing monitoring, and quick application of learned knowledge monitoring. The result indicates: (1) the way English thinking monitoring Chinese learning appears to be obvious and apparent; (2) the students have strong intention of autonomous learning; (3) the learning effects of target language have been largely improved. | ||||
| 一直以来，学者对二语学习的思维认知机制以及信息加工过程较为感兴趣，尤其关注母语与目标语的双元关系如何，母语在整个思维运作过程中究竟充当何种角色？本文以“知识-认知-元认知”理论为基础，以新加坡四所中学130名学生为研究对象，通过问卷的方式，从词汇、句型、语篇学习三个维度来调查华文 (L2) 学习过程中以“课本英文注释”为刺激物的母语思维的监控作用。其中包括：1)自主学习意愿监控；2)独立理解过程监控；3)迅速理解过程监控；4)迅速记忆过程监控；5)迅速理解用法并迅速应用语言知识过程监控。初步的调查结果表明，华文学习过程中英文思维的监控作用较为显著，学生的自主学习意愿较为强烈，并且目标语知识的自主学习效果得到明显的提升。 | ||||
| 2016 | Lesson Study on Primary 1 Students’ Oral Communication Skills Paper presented at the World Association of Lesson Studies (WALS) International Conference, Exeter, UK (2016, Sep) 一年级口语互动课程的课例研究 | Chau Sook Kuan | Conference Presentations (without publication) | |
| The Ministry of Education implemented the “Interaction Resource Package for Primary Schools” in 2012 in all primary schools with the aim to enhance the students’ communication skills in Mother Tongue Languages. The Primary 1 resource package focused on teaching the students to use short phrases and proper sentence structures for simple oral conversations. While using the resource package during classroom teaching, teachers observed that the content did not meet the needs of the Primary 1 students who wanted to express their thoughts further. As such, a group of Chinese Language teachers conducted a lesson study to find out how teachers could help the P1 students to carry out oral conversation more effectively. The research team modified the lesson content of one of the units in the resource package, “My Family”, based on Piaget's theory of cognitive development (1953) and Mercer’s findings on attachment (2006), “open-ended” questions were added into the conversation. The research team hypothesized that the Primary 1 students were able to describe their interactions with their family members and have the reasoning ability to explain “why they especially like one of them”. The first research lesson provided scaffolding with audio visual aids to help the students to grasp the vocabulary and proper sentence structures in asking and answering questions. The research team observed that the students were able to construct proper sentences when guided, but were not able to carry out conversation effectively with peers without looking at the handouts. Lesson plan was fine-tuned for the second research lesson; cooperative learning strategies and peer evaluation were added on to the lesson procedure. The research team observed that the students were able to engage in conversation with peers and expressed their thoughts confidently and fluently. Quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-tests, the data analysis showed that there was a significant increase in the student’s oral communication test scores after the research lessons. | ||||
| 教育部于2012年在所有小学实施了“小学互动资源包”，旨在提高学生的母语沟通能力。小一资源包的重点在教学生使用简短的短语和正确的句子结构进行简单的口头对话。教师在课堂教学中使用资源包时，发现内容不足以引导小一学生进一步表达个人想法。为此，一群华文教师进行了课例研究，以了解教师如何帮助小一学生更有效地进行口语互动。 研究团队根据皮亚杰的认知发展理论（1953）和默瑟对依恋的研究（2006）修改了资源包中的一个单元“我的家庭”的课程内容，并在话轮中添加了“开放式”问题。研究小组假定小一学生能够描述他们与家人的互动，并具有解释“为什么他们特别喜欢其中一个人”的推理能力。 第一节课以视听辅助工具为鹰架，帮助学生在提问和回答问题时掌握词汇和正确的句子结构。研究小组观察到，学生在引导下能够构建正确的句子，但不看讲义就无法有效地与同龄人进行对话。研究小组对第二节课的教案进行了微调；在课程中加入了协作学习策略和同侪评估。研究小组观察到，学生能够与同龄人进行对话，并自信而流畅地表达自己的想法。通过前测和后测收集定量数据，数据分析表明，课例后学生的口语互动测试成绩有显着的提高。 | ||||
| 2016 | Singapore Pie in Global Chinese Education: Inheritance and Innovation in Chinese Literature Education in Singapore 国际汉语教学中的“新加坡派”——新加坡华语文学教育的守成与新变 | Li Jia | Journal-Refereed | |
| Singapore’s Chinese literature education has continuously evolved and advanced over the years, forming a unique style in global Chinese education, which can be described as “Singapore pie”. Through its bilingual policy, the Singapore government has been committed to creating a pool of bicultural talents, by supplementing the teaching of Chinese language with classes on Chinese literature and culture. This thesis seeks to understand the pros and cons of Chinese literature education in Singapore by analysing its development over the years. The teaching of Chinese literature began with the first wave of Chinese migration to Nanyang in the 19th century, and from there, it went through three phases of development: relocation, adjustment, and burgeoning. | ||||

| This chapter offers an in-depth discussion on the pedagogical challenges of, and solutions to teaching Chinese to English-speaking bilinguals in Singapore in response to an evolving sociolinguistic profile of primary school students studying Chinese. An analysis of the positioning of Singapore within the paradigm of three concentric circles of global Chinese and the emergence of a gradual shift in learner profile from the Outer Circle to the Expanding Circle is offered, laying the ground for the need to develop a new pedagogical model, the bilingual approach to the teaching of Chinese (BA), for teaching Chinese to a new generation of young beginning learners. The main features of BA are discussed, highlighting the important scaffolding role that the learners’ dominant language plays at the elementary stage of learning an additional language. | ||||

| Textbooks are the most important teaching materials for Chinese language teaching in Singapore. Literacy and teaching writing, is one of the focus of textbook writers, which is determined by the font characteristics of Chinese characters, the law of acquisition and the particularity of teaching Chinese characters. As the second language of the teaching of Chinese characters and mother tongue teaching because of different teaching objects, teaching content, process and methods are different. After the independence of Singapore, the implementation of the English-led bilingual education policy, which objectively changed the children in the family, school, social learning Chinese natural language environment.

| The sociolinguistic landscape of Singapore has in recent years been a prominent and unique case for language and social study that bestows the nation with a new title of ‘language laboratory’, besides acclaims like ‘Asia’s four little dragons’ or ‘Garden City’ (Yang. Walking the talk in the ‘Singapore’s language laboratory. In: Tan CL (ed) Teaching of Chinese and literature in Singapore. Zhejiang University Press, Hangzhou, pp 270–272, 2011). Indeed, the swiftness and scale of language change in Singapore in the last 30 years may be unprecedented amongst nation states. In multi-ethnic, multicultural and multilingual Singapore, English has now become not only the most important lingua franca but also the dominant language in daily usage amongst the majority of Singaporeans, especially the young. There are two sets of important statistics reflecting the changing linguistic background of Chinese in Singapore: Firstly, the Census of Population 2010 (Singapore Department of Statistic. Census of population 2010. http://www.nas.gov.sg/archivesonline/data/pdfdoc/20110119004/c2010_r1_press_release.pdf. Accessed 1 Apr 2015, 2011) highlighted that the use of English as the home language has become more prevalent which is in line with the rise of English literacy especially amongst the younger age groups. Secondly, in 2009, 59 % of Primary 1 Chinese students’ parents reported that they spoke mainly English at home. This was a large increase from 28 % in 1991 (Ministry of Education. 2010 mother tongue languages review committee report. Ministry of Education, Singapore, 2011; see Fig. 2.1). | ||||

| The twenty-first century is the era of communication and knowledge construction, so information communications technology (ICT) literacy has become a critical twenty-first-century skill that enables students to engage in computer-assisted language learning (CALL). This chapter discusses current ICT practices in the teaching of the Chinese language in Singapore. These practices include integrating ICT into Chinese language curriculum goals and assessments, classroom teaching and student learning. Localised ICT platforms used in teaching and learning, such as iMTL and 10C, will be briefly introduced. We will then reflect on the use of ICT in Chinese language teaching in Singapore and suggest its possible future direction. Finally, this paper proposes a new term, authentic learning with ICT (ALICT), that refers to the use of real-life situations and contexts for immersive learning in an ICT-assisted environment. | ||||

Journal of Chinese Language Teaching (Taiwan THCI Core, TSSCI), 13(1), 111-150. 新加坡英華雙語學生的華語人稱代詞偏誤研究與教學應用 | Tan Chee Lay | Journal-Refereed | |
| This paper examines the Singaporean English-Chinese bilingual students’ use of Chinese personal pronoun, the frequency of error occurrence, and the distribution of errors in expository, narrative and practical genres of writings. Results show that most errors are redundant errors, which occur mainly at the discourse and pragmatic levels, indicating that these students tend to overlook both the functions of discourse cohesion and discourse coherence of zero personal pronoun. These students have not grasped the pragmatic functions of zero personal pronoun, which is to lessen the speaker’s involvement, and to keep narration concise. Furthermore, redundant errors at the discourse level occur most frequently in expository and narrative genres, while redundant errors at the pragmatic level occur most frequently in practical genre. Such a difference reveals a relationship between error types and genres. We further confirm that specific differences exist in the use of personal pronouns between Singaporean bilingual CSL students and Chinese native speakers, and the nature of the genre affects the Singaporean students’ choice of personal pronouns. Therefore, training bilingual CSL students in the discourse and pragmatic functions of Chinese zero personal pronoun is critical to enhance discourse communication. Lastly, pedagogical paradigms are introduced based on our findings. | ||||

| In a bilingual society like Singapore, home language environment (HLE) of Singaporean children is becoming increasingly concerned, especially for those who are yet to have formal education in schools. The reported rapid shift of family language has increased the tensions among families, schools and communities. This study examined some of the many facets of Singaporean Chinese preschoolers’ HLE, and further discussed how these facets are related to children’s Chinese language proficiency in oral and written forms. Three hundred and seventy-six Singaporean Chinese six-year-olds completed Chinese oral and written language proficiency screening. Their parents completed a HLE survey. The findings revealed the possible trend of home language shift from Mandarin Chinese to English in the younger generation. Aside from home language use factors, the importance of other facets that form a rich language environment is also highlighted for children's language development. | ||||
| 摘要：在像新加坡这样的双语社会中，新加坡儿童的家庭语言环境（HLE）受到越来越多的关注，特别是那些尚未在学校接受过正规教育的人。据报道，家庭语言的快速转变加剧了家庭，学校和社区之间的紧张关系。这项研究考察了新加坡华人学龄前儿童家庭语言环境诸多方面中的一些因素，并进一步讨论了这些因素如何与儿童的汉语口语和书面语水平相关联。376名新加坡华裔六岁儿童完成了中文口语和书面语言能力筛选。他们的父母完成了家庭语言环境调查。研究结果揭示了年轻一代家庭语言从普通话转向英语的可能趋势。除了家庭语言使用的一些因素，儿童语言发展还需强调形成丰富语言环境的其他方面的重要性。 | ||||

| In Singapore, where Chinese is learned as a second language, how to provide useful guidance of writing composition to primary school students has become an important topic. On the basis of Vygotsky's (1978) Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and Bruner's (1983) concept of scaffolding, the research team has developed a five-step scaffolding teaching model incorporated with some effective strategies of writing instruction. The model has been put into practice in two government schools for one year. Based on the authentic classroom discourses, classroom observations and teachers' interviews gained from the project, this paper intends to analyse the participant teachers' scaffolding awareness and capability development in building classroom interaction, diagnosing students' difficulties and providing scaffolding. The results show that teachers' awareness and skills of scaffolding are essential to the successful implementation of the scaffolding teaching model. | ||||
| 在新加坡华文作为第二语言教学的基本国情下，如何在华文启蒙写作教学中给学生提供有益的帮助，是一个值得深入探讨的课题。笔者以Vygotsky（1978）的“最近发展区”和Bruner（1983）的“鹰架教学”概念为理论依据，以写作教学实践中公认的有效教学策略为参考，设计出一个由五个教学步骤组成的鹰架写作教学模式，并在两所小学进行了为期一年的实验。本文以项目实践中产生的课堂语料为主要数据，参照课堂观察记录以及教师访谈资料，重点分析实验教师在建构课堂互动、诊断学习困难、提供鹰架帮助这三个方面的鹰架搭建意识及技能的应用。分析结果表明，培养教师鹰架搭建的意识及实施技能是成功推行本鹰架教学模式的重要基础。 | ||||

| Due to the impact of political and cultural context, Chinese textbooks in Singaporean secondary schools experienced a long and tortuous process of localization. In the early British colonial era and the Japanese occupation of Singapore, Chinese textbooks in Singapore almost all imported from China and entitled guowen. From the end of World War II to 1979, with the huge changes of the situation in China and Malaya, their textbooks focused to promote the consciousness of localization under the concept of Malayalization. Correspondingly, Chinese textbooks’ publishing tends to be autonomous and their titles changed to "Zhongwen", "yuwen" or "huawen." From 1979 to date, in response to the impact and challenges of the new education system, the Singaporean Ministry of Education compiled several sets of Chinese textbooks according to language proficiency. Meanwhile, literary textbooks highlighted the localization and globalization. In Singapore where ethnic Chinese occupied the dominant, combing the process of Chinese textbooks not only can examine the localization of Singaporean Chinese education, but also can find the spread and change of Chinese in Southeast Asia. | ||||
| 由于受到社会政治与历史文化的影响，新加坡的中学华文教科书经历了一个漫长而曲折的本土化过程。早期殖民地时期和日治时期，新加坡的华文教科书几乎都从中国引进，径以“国文”名之；战后至1979年，伴随着中国局势和新马政局的巨大改变，中学华文教科书在“马来亚化”理念倡导下加强本土意识的宣扬，教科书的出版格局也随之改变，趋于自主。教科书的命名更易为“中文”、“语文”或“华文”；1979年至今，新加坡教育部为了因应新教育体制带来的冲击与挑战，按照能力等级编写若干套华文教科书，文学教科书则在凸显本地化的同时，向更为包容的全球化发展。在华人占据主体的新加坡，梳理中学华文教科书的演进不仅可以透视其华文教育的本土化倾向，亦可窥见汉语或中文在东南亚地区的传播与新变。 | ||||

| Studies on current Chinese language classroom instructions in Singapore’s primary and secondary schools have shown that most of the curriculum time are spent on the learning of vocabulary, with teacher-centric delivery as the dominant form of pedagogy. This study aims to explore how young students’ learning of Chinese vocabulary can be carried out in a student-centric manner. Ninety-four Primary three (nine-year-old) students participated in this study. They learned vocabulary through an innovative seamless learning environment known as MyCLOUD (My Chinese Language ubiquitOUs learning Days), mediated by cloud and mobile technologies. The MyCLOUD learning experience encompasses reading of digitised textbook passages, maintaining personalised “Mictionary” (Mobile dictionary), contextualised (authentic) photo taking and sentence-making with mobile devices, sharing of student artefacts on the MyCLOUD learning platform, and online peer interactions/evaluations. Our analysis indicates that MyCLOUD can help to increase the fluency of vocabulary use among high- and medium-level academic performers (in Chinese Language). The model led to greater opportunities for meaningful learning particularly through the learning-application-evaluation trajectory. This had resulted in a positive impact on students’ abilities to appropriately apply their learned vocabularies in greater varieties of contexts. Notwithstanding, the results also show that such a self-directed model had minimal impact on low performers, as they require greater support and more guided practice in sentence-making and peer evaluation in order to achieve significant improvement in their learning. | ||||

| Despite the long-espoused need for language acquisition in authentic environments to support second language classrooms, the dearth of time and spaces for language acquisition hinders the transfer of the learnt language knowledge to genuine communicative skills. In this paper, we delineate a “seamless language learning” framework with the aim of expanding the time and spaces for second language acquisition so as to promote language learners’ self-directed learning and to provide opportunities for language applications. This framework is theoretically underpinned by the notions of socio-constructivism and ubiquitous learning. A salient characteristic is the interweaving or bridging of the multifaceted activities of “learning” and “acquisition” across a variety of learning spaces (e.g., formal and informal learning, individual and social learning, learning in physical reality and the cyberspace). Thus, the language learning process becomes continual, with cycles of linguistic input and output activities, the trajectory of learn-apply-reflect, the holistic application and development of multiple linguistic skills, the promotion of autonomous learning and knowledge co-construction through social interactions.

| 众所周知，第二语言的课堂学习需要自然习得的支持，但是，第二语言学习也因习得时间与空间受限，所学知识无法获得转化而影响学习效率。本文透过由流动学习(mobile learning)研究分支出来的“无缝学习”理念的沿革，提出“无缝语言学习”的框架，希望通过拓展第二语言习得的时间与空间，提高语言学习的自主意识与应用机会。此框架建立于社会建构主义学习理论和泛在学习理论这两种基础上，结合“学习”与“习得”两种语言学习范式，创设出一种崭新的学习时空观，它跨越多种学习空间（如正式与非正式学习空间、个人与社群学习空间、现实与虚拟学习空间）；让语言学习方式和历程持续不辍：语言输入与输出活动交互循环；语言学习、应用和反思；多种语言技能的组合使用；鼓励学习者自主学习、通过社交互动进行语言知识的构建。我们将以“语飞行云”研究项目为例子，具体说明无缝语言学习框架如何创设第二语言习得的时空观。 | ||||

| The teaching of Chinese composition writing in Singapore is long influenced by examination format, which has led to a lack of creativity in the students’ writings. The Singapore Centre for Chinese Language initiated a one-year school-based pilot research in creative composition writing with a group of higher Chinese (HCL) students from a top independent and Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school. This design study is based on the theoretical framework of creative thinking and Self-directed learning (SDL). The teaching and learning of creative composition writing are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-/post-tests, and verified by triangulation of questionnaires, interviews and observations. Teaching materials are authentic and are based on topics closely related to the students’ daily life. The designs of the pedagogical activities within and beyond the classroom are highly innovative and diverse. Meanwhile, a blog was also set up to provide students with a platform catering to creative input, output and exchange. The results of this study show that the teaching of creative writing helps to reduce the rigidity of the students’ writing, and enhances their writing interest and quality. The positive findings of this research show that there is great potential for it to be further promoted. | ||||
| 新加坡華文寫作教學長期受到考試命題作文“指揮棒式”的影響而成為格式化的寫作，缺乏創意。有鑑於此，新加坡華文教研中心於 2011 年展開為期一年的先導性校本研究，針對一所特選中學裡的一班高級華文學生，進行創意寫作教學試驗。 本研究屬設計型研究，以創造性思維和自主性學習為理論框架，配以前、後測的量化和質化分析，並以問卷、訪談和觀察作為三角驗證。教學材料則選擇以貼近學生生活的主題和真實性語料(authentic material)為主，設計相應的課堂教學和課後自學活動，以創新、多元為準則。同時設立博客，提供學生創作及同儕交流機會。研究發現創意寫作教學除了能改進學生作文“格式化”的缺失，更能提高學生的興趣與作文質量，大有加以推廣的潛能。 | ||||

| This paper discusses the status changes of Singapore Mandarin and some problems in Chinese education in Singapore. Actually, the bilingual policy adopted by the Singapore government leads to unparallel language education. The different functional orientations of four languages make Chinese education in Singapore more structurally and fundamentally difficult.

| As a special second language teaching, teaching Chinese in Singapore faced with many difficulties, the complex language environment and the multiplicity mixed-learner type are two of the key roles. By investigation and analysis of the lexical and grammatical errors in Singapore primary students’ written Chinese, it was found that the errors affected by English has occupied the majority, those errors could be concluded to four kinds: preposition structure (location), modifier order, dynamic auxiliary "le" and indiscriminate copy of sentence patterns. At the same time the nonstandard expressions of Huayu (Singapore Chinese) are also found conspicuously occurred in students’ compositions, it means that language standardization in Chinese teaching was not paid adequate attention. | ||||

| Professional development is an important issue in the current research on the quality of Chinese language teachers. In recent years, lesson study was introduced as a platform for enhancing the professional development of Chinese language teachers in Singapore. A research method that originated from Japan in the 1960s, lesson study is used as a qualitative method for professional training of teachers within schools. Through the process of teachers' collective efforts in lesson preparation, observation and reflection, lesson study leads to an improvement in teaching and learning quality by promoting the knowledge construction of a professional community. However, the lack of scientific tools for recording and analysing of lesson observations often leads to highly subjective judgments in the process of lesson reflection. Differences in personal perceptions in turn results in a lack of focus during the discussions, which impacts the validity of the research. In an attempt to increase the validity of lesson study, we can leverage on classroom observation tools that originate from America. Classroom observation involves the observation, recording and analysis of lesson procedures, thereby extracting qualitative and quantitative data to develop a concrete and in-depth understanding of the teaching process in order to enhance teaching quality. In 2012, a study involving the combined use of lesson study and classroom observation methods was conducted in two primary schools in Singapore. This paper will present the aims, procedures and the use of qualitative and quantitative data in improving research validity through such methodological integration. The findings show that the combination of lesson study and classroom observation tools is an effective method for researching teacher professional communities. The integrated research method promotes teacher change and professional learning in a more focused and in-depth manner, allowing for more systematic knowledge construction of learning communities to enhance teachers' professional growth. | ||||
| 教师专业发展乃当前华语文教师素质研究中的重要课题。近年来，以单堂课为研究对象的课例研究（Lesson Study）也开始被引入新加坡华语文教学中，成为目前学校教师专业发展的重要平台。课例研究起源于20世纪60年代的日本，是日本教师校内专业培训的质化手段，是通过教师集体协作过程：备课、观课、反思来改进教学，从而促进专业社群的知识构建。笔者发现，由于课例研究在观课过程中缺乏科学性的记录与分析，因此相对依赖教师个人的洞察力，在反思讨论时，经常出现讨论流于主观论断、因个人观察点有异，讨论时难以聚焦，而导致研究效度不稳定。笔者于是借鉴起源于美国的课堂观察工具，（classroom observation）尝试提高课例研究的效度。课堂观察主要通过观察、记录和研究课堂运行状态，提取质化与量化资料来说明教师具体、深入了解课堂，从而改进教学。笔者于2012年与两所小学合作，首次将两种方法结合，进行一次个案研究。本论文将提出两者结合之后的研究目的、步骤，并以具体的质化与量化资料来验证研究的效度。实验结果显示，结合课堂观察方法和课例研究的工具，是有效的教师专业社群研究方法，能更有效协助教师进行更聚焦、更有深度的转化学习，构建教师专业社群知识，进而促进教师专业成长。 | ||||

| A teacher’s learning style can have an impact on the student’s learning styles. (Zhang, 2004) There is a strong close correlation between teachers teaching style and their own learning style. Studying a teachers’ teaching style will enable us to understand how teachers' beliefs affects their teaching behaviour and help teachers improve their teaching quality. (Heimlich & Norland, 2002) Studies have shown that a teacher’s teaching style is closely related to their personality type. Therefore, we must address the impact of a teacher’s personality towards their learning styles and teaching styles. (Cooper, 2001) This paper uses Oxford’s (1993) Style Analysis Survey and Cooper’s (2001) Teaching Activity Preference to study on twenty-two international Chinese language trainee teachers in my faculty to understand their personality, learning styles and teaching styles, in order to help these teachers fully understand their teaching strengths and their teaching potential, and thus enhancing their teaching quality and efficiency. | ||||

| 2014 | Strategies in Compiling Intermediate-advance Chinese Teaching and Learning Resources: Based on Singapore Secondary School Chinese Text Books 中高级汉语教学资源的编写策略：以新加坡中学教材为例 | Choong Kok Weng | Journal-Refereed | |
| Singapore Ministry of Education released “Report of the Chinese Language Curriculum and Pedagogy Review Committee” in 2004, discovered that among ethnic Chinese students, the proportion of English as the most frequently used home language rose from 36% in 1994 to 50% in 2004. This shows that the teaching of the Chinese language has to be adjusted to cater to the students' learning needs. The report suggested, for the majority, the emphasis should be on effective oral communication and reading, and more emphasis on practical use of the Chinese Language (“Report of the Chinese Language Curriculum and Pedagogy Review Committee”, 2004:5,9) In this paper, the new secondary school textbooks compiled by the Singapore Ministry of Education in 2011 will be used as an example to analyse its compiling strategies. The paper will use textbooks of the new secondary school express stream curriculum as an example to discuss the concept of its compiling strategies: listening and speaking skills driven by reading and writing skills; the principles of its compiling strategies: cite example first, followed by explanation, then, practice; and the organizations of its compiling strategies: intensive reading, introductory reading, self-reading and integrated tasks. By showcasing the compiling strategies of the new textbooks of the new secondary school express stream curriculum of Singapore, it is hoped that it inspires the theory and practice of strategies in compiling intermediate-advance Chinese teaching and learning resources. | ||||
| 新加坡教育部在2004年发布《华文课程与教学法检讨委员会报告书》，发现以英语作为主要家庭用语的华族学生从1994年的36%上升到2004年的50%。这显示汉语教学必须能针对这些学生的学习需要作出调整。报告书提出,对大部分学生的教学应注重有效的口语交际和阅读训练,注重华文的实用功能（《华文课程与教学法检讨委员会报告书》，2004：4，5，9）本文以新加坡教育部在2011年编制的新中学教材为例，分析其编写的策略。文中将以新中学教材中的快捷课程为例，论述其编写策略的理念：以读写带动听说；编写策略的原则：先例、后说、再练；和编写策略的组织：讲读课、导读课、自读课和综合任务。目的在于通过新加坡教材的展现提供实例，希望对中高级汉语教学资源编写策略的理念和实践有所启发。 | ||||

| The exposure to language use has a strong impact on children’s language learning and development in the long run. In order to define language dominance of Singapore preschoolers', and especially in the area of Chinese word recognition which is the focus of this paper, I would be looking at a number of multiple factors, such as the child’s language use in specific contexts, frequency of contact with Mandarin-speaking adults,the exposure to Chinese language the child has and the literacy support given to the child, etc., as points of references in investigating Singapore Chinese preschoolers’ competence in Chinese character recognition. While the survey and test results show that there is room for improvement in preschoolers’ Character Recognition, the findings also lead me to examine some of the current situations and practices in preschools and at home,and this paper will offer critical reflections to improve the teaching and learning of Chinese characters in Singapore. | ||||
| 从长远角度来讲,接触语言使用环境对儿童语言学习和发展有着强烈的影响。为了界定新加坡学龄前儿童的语言优势,特别是在认识中文字词领域,是本文重点讨论的内容。我将研究一系列多重因素,如在特定语境中儿童语言的使用,与讲汉语普通话的成年人接触的频率,儿童对所掌握的中文的接触,以及能为孩子提供的识字能力的支持等。这些将作为调查新加坡华裔学龄前儿童汉字识别能力的参考因素。调查和测试结果表明,学龄前儿童的认字能力仍有改进的余地,但研究结果也使我对学龄前儿童和家庭的现状和做法进行了考察,本文将提出批评性建议，以提高新加坡汉字教学水平的思考。 | ||||

| Tan Chee Lay's " Sidgwick Writings at Cambridge" contains his e-letters written to his wife from November 2004 to February 2005. Sidgwick is a district of Cambridge University where the author studied and lived. He translated it into a "micro engraving" in a different way. In the bits and pieces of his life in Cambridge, even the most subtle moments, even the gaps of time, the author is not willing to let it fly by, and he would continue to make the best use of those moments to "learn". The writer's letter seems to be his soul window. Reading Xu Zhimo's "Love Eyebrows" and all the other love letters from Liang Shiqiu to Han Jingqing and from Yu Dafu to Wang Yingxia's, there is a sense of novelty by peeking into the "soul window". Reading Tan Chee Lay’s letter can also "see" the secrets of his heart. At the time of writing, Tan Chee Lay is already a young father. In the letters to his wife, in addition to the keywords of pining affection, school, diet, weather, and football, it is more of a husband’s responsibility, care and concern. Dr. Tan writes books with sketches and poetic strokes. It is concise and clear. The text is constructed in addition to visual associations. | ||||

Journal of Hebei Normal University (Educational Science Edition) Journal 2nd author 河北大学学报（教育科学版） 新加坡中学华文文学教材的演进与变革 | Wang Bing | Journal-Refereed | |
| Chinese literature has always played a very important role in the history of Chinese language teaching and bilingual-bicultural education in Singapore. Chinese literature textbooks used in secondary schools, served as important curriculum resources for literature teaching and have been through an evolutionary process from the transplantation and introduction period in the early years during the initial development period after the founding of Singapore, and the current autonomous transition period. With successive changes in curriculum standards, the concept and design of secondary school Chinese literature textbooks has also been innovative, together with the content and arrangement of selected texts. This article reflects the evolution and transformation of Chinese literature textbooks and discusses the development and changes within the Chinese literature curriculum in Singapore secondary schools. | ||||

Taipei: Wu-Nan Book Company Ltd. 海外华语文教学嬗变与革新:新加坡经验 | Luo Qingming | Book Chapters | |
| Chinese language teaching in Singapore has had a long history of transition through many political changes and educational systems. While Chinese teaching materials and textbooks have experienced much transformation and redesign, the fundamental design and writing philosophy and principles have remained relatively the same compared to the past. With the dual teaching objectives of propagating a rich Chinese cultural inheritance and developing competence in communicating in the Chinese language, the Singapore Chinese language textbooks have always taken the path of culture and language integration. This thesis will take both the global language perspective and the local Singapore Chinese language context as starting points to explore the overseas Chinese language teaching material evolution and innovation. The paper is divided into three sections. The first section discusses the degradation of Chinese students’ language ability amidst a changing Singaporean society, from the inner circle ("central" district) to the outer circle (overseas Chinese district) – the transition from "breaking-off from dialects into Chinese" to "moving from Chinese into English”; The second section of the thesis expounds the evolution of overseas Chinese language teaching, exploring how textbooks hinges on the idea that "writings are for conveying truth" in three aspects of teaching Chinese in the Chinese language: by paying close attention to declarative cultural knowledge, ignoring procedural cultural knowledge and insisting on native language thinking; the third section of the thesis deals with language communication and cultural heritage, traditional Chinese culture and contemporary Chinese culture, as well as the learning philosophy that listening, speaking, reading and writing go hand in hand - with listening and speaking being foremost, then reading and writing. These are discussed to explore the innovation of teaching Chinese as a foreign language. | ||||

| The teaching of traditional Chinese (Wenyan wen) is amongst the most difficult part of the Chinese curriculum in Singapore. Besides students’ learning difficulties in a predominantly English-speaking environment, the lack of learning interest and the shortage of interesting and innovative teaching materials and methods are some of the prevailing challenges. In view of this, I have designed and constructed a school-based design research, harnessing web-based technology, web 2.0 platforms, and multimedia strategies to teach traditional Chinese to an experiment class, with another class as its control group. Traditional Chinese passages from the Pre-university "Chinese and Literature" curriculum are selected to be the texts for this student-centered learning research. The findings of this research positively show that students who have gone through traditional Chinese teaching with interactive web-based tools, in comparison to the control group students, tend to recall information better, display higher interest in their learning, and perform significant better in summative assessments, especially when the time gap between learning and assessment increases. | ||||
| 在新加坡，教导文言文是华文课程最困难的一部分。除了学生在一个普遍使用英语环境里会遇到的困难，现有的挑战也包括学生缺乏兴趣，缺少有趣和创新的教研材料和方法。 基于如此，我设立了一个校本设计调查，把学生分为实验组和对照组。在试验组学生身上我利用互联网的技术，web 2.0平台和多媒体策略来教导文言文。这项以学生为主体的研究选择的篇章是大学预科班的 “华文与文学” 课程。 这调查结果确实显现了通过互动网络工具来学习文言文的学生，信息提取能力更强。他们的学习兴趣也比较高，测试表现比较好。尤其是当学习和测试相隔一段时间后，试验组学生的表现更为绝佳。 | ||||

| Europeanization has a long history in modern Chinese. Since the early use of Chinese vernacular, Chinese writers in the May Fourth Movement had drawn lessons from the Western writers to be accurate and refine the expression of written vernacular Chinese. During this writing revolution, Chinese writers absorbed the linguistic features of the Western languages. Therefore, it will not be uncommon to have uncanny and abrupt experiences to read the literature works of the writers in this period. This is also true to Mao Dun, a famous modern Chinese writer. This paper aims at discussing the significance of the use of ‘hen’, ‘shi’, and ‘men’ to analyze the works of Mao Dun. Specifically, this paper intends to explore the Europeanization of the linguistic features in Mao Dun’s works. Evidence on how the language is used by him and what the differences between his and the language used by us nowadays are discussed in this paper. | ||||
| 现代汉语中的欧化现象，由来已久。在白话文创建伊始，为了令白话文在表达能达臻更精确、细致的层面，“五四”作家多向西方文学取经；在学习的过程中，他们也把西方的一些语言特点，加以吸纳。也因此，在这些名家作品中出现让人读来甚感怪兀的欧式表达的句子，实不足为奇。即使是现代著名作家茅盾，也不能例外。本文拟从“很”、 “是” 及“们”的用法，加以探视茅盾用语的欧化特色。通过茅盾用语、以及对茅盾用语和我们现代用语的对比研究为本文提供研究实证。 | ||||

Our analysis of the student artefacts in both product- and process-oriented aspects reveals the students’ cognitive process and learning strategies during the course of content creation. The students’ ongoing, open-ended, personal-to-social meaning making process and learner-created authentic content have indeed shown some indicators of seamless language learning and induction-based peer learning that has the potential of transforming language learning into an authentic learning experience. | ||||

| A Delicate Touch is a highly imaginative, original and powerful interpretation of literary ad performing works – including films, plays, novels, poems and even architecture – that are influenced by the Chinese cultures. Through careful and creative reading and rereading of these visual and written texts, with an attentiveness to the problematics of transcultural politics, this book sheds fresh light on how cross-cultural influences and exchanges have impacted traditional art forms and genres. | ||||

| This is an initial study on the discourses of ICT used in the Malay Language Seminar organised by the Malay Language Centre of Singapore. The Discourse Analysis framework is used to analyse research papers that were contributed by teachers for the seminar proceedings. The papers were analysed using Halliday's (1994) Transitivity System and van Leeuwen's socio-semantic structures in detecting agency or social action as a social construct through other language expressions. The impact of these micro findings is then seen in macro lenses through the social, economic and cultural context of Singapore. | ||||

| Singapore is well known for its bilingual policy which prescribes “English plus one of the official ethnic mother tongues”. The Ministry of Education is the primary agency that translates this bilingual policy into effect, namely in the realm of education. This paper invites readers to rethink the goal of bilingualism in education, in particular the goal of mother tongue (MT) language education and argues for the need to revisit the system of prescribing English as the only medium of instruction for all content subjects while the MT figures only as a second language subject. The new sociolinguistic landscape where English has displaced the MT in almost all domains calls for a reinterpretation of the bilingual language policy in education if the long-term goal of keeping Singaporeans connected to their cultural roots through their MTs is to be realised. It suggests putting in place a new aspiration for Singapore’s young bilinguals and offers a strategy that expands the role of the MT in education as a means to nurture balanced and dynamic bilinguals. | ||||
| Singapura terkenal dengan dasar dwibahasa bahasa Inggeris dan salah satu bahasa ibunda etnik rasmi. Kementerian Pendidikan adalah agensi utama yang menterjemahkan dasar dwibahasa ini ke dalam bidang pendidikan. Makalah ini mengajak pembaca untuk memikirkan semula tujuan dwibahasa dalam pendidikan, khususnya tujuan pendidikan bahasa ibunda, dan mengajukan pendapat perlunya mengkaji semula sistem yang meletakkan bahasa Inggeris sebagai satu-satunya bahasa pengantar untuk semua mata pelajaran isi sementara bahasa ibunda hanya sebagai subjek bahasa kedua. Landskap sosiolinguistik terkini di mana bahasa Inggeris telah menggantikan bahasa ibunda dalam hampir semua domain kehidupan menuntut pentafsiran semula mengenai dasar dwibahasa dalam pendidikan sekiranya tujuan jangka panjang untuk memastikan warga Singapura tetap terhubung dengan akar budaya mereka melalui bahasa ibunda mereka tercapai. Ia menyarankan agar mewujudkan aspirasi baru untuk pengamal dwibahasa muda Singapura dan menawarkan strategi yang memperluas peranan bahasa ibunda dalam pendidikan sebagai alat untuk memelihara dwibahasa yang seimbang dan dinamis. | ||||

| In a globalised world where boundaries are blurred and ideologies are in transition, where science and modern technologies become ever more present and demographic changes bring on new societal pressures, we are confronted with new and emerging educational challenges. How one lives one’s faith in the face of such circumstances and how one engages with the challenges are issues that are increasingly relevant in this day and age. This book explores these issues in the context of madrasah education. Over the centuries, madrasahs have been instrumental in circulating the knowledge and practice of the Muslim faith. They have succeeded in laying down taxing standards for students and the larger community to seamlessly connect religious beliefs to behaviour. However, they have been less successful, for the most part, in affecting the intellectual transformation of contemporary Muslim societies, especially in the field of religious thought. Consisting of 15 chapters and preceded with an introduction, this book argues for the need for the madrasah to rethink education for Muslim children, to re-envision an education that provides for their holistic development, and to foster a worldview where critical thinking, an ethical code of conduct and a scientific outlook are prequisites for addressing issues in a globalised world. A concern for many nations, in particular Muslim-minority nations, is how to address the increasing demands for robust intellectual capacity and simultaneously nurture the development of sound, moral and spiritual citizens. The book offers a glimpse into the modernising process at work and the extent it is successful through contemporary examples in selected countries. | ||||
| Dalam dunia global yang yang mana sempadan antara negara menjadi kabur dan ideologi berada dalam peralihan, yang mana sains dan teknologi moden muncul dengan banyaknya dan perubahan demografi memberi tekanan baru kepada masyarakat, kita menghadapi cabaran pendidikan yang baru. Bagaimana manusia dapat hidup dengan kepercayaan masing-masing dalam keadaan seperti ini dan bagaimana mereka menangani cabaran tersebut adalah isu-isu yang semakin relevan pada zaman ini. Buku ini meneroka isu-isu ini dalam konteks pendidikan madrasah. Sejak dahulu lagi, madrasah telah memainkan peranan penting dalam menyampaikan pengetahuan dan amalan kepercayaan umat Islam. Ia telah berjaya meletakkan standard tinggi untuk pelajar dan masyarakat untuk menghubungkan agama dan tingkah laku dengan lancar. Walau bagaimanapun, ia kurang berjaya melaksanakan transformasi intelektual masyarakat Islam kontemporari, terutama dalam bidang pemikiran agama. Mengandungi 15 bab yang didahului Pengenalan, buku ini menghujahkan bahawa madrasah perlu memikirkan semula pendidikan untuk anak-anak Islam, untuk mereka semula pendidikan yang menyediakan perkembangan holistik anak-anak ini, dan memupuk pandangan dunia yang mana pemikiran kritis, kod etika dan pemikiran saintifik adalah prasyarat untuk menangani isu-isu dalam dunia global. Kebimbangan banyak negara, khususnya negara-negara yang mempunyai penduduk minoriti Islam, adalah bagaimana untuk menangani permintaan yang semakin meningkat untuk keupayaan intelektual yang mantap dan pada masa yang sama memupuk pembangunan masyarakat yang bermoral dan berspiritual. Buku ini menawarkan sekilas pandangan terhadap proses pemodenan yang sedang berlangsung dan sejauh mana ia berjaya melalui contoh-contoh kontemporari di negara-negara terpilih. | ||||

| In Singapore's education system, two languages exist in isolation: English is the language of instruction for all core subjects such as Mathematics and Science while the Mother Tongue is learned as a subject. In a society where English is the dominant language, this is not an approach that can best produce students who are comfortable and proficient in the Mother Tongue besides English. Indeed, more children in Singapore are growing up in homes where English is now the preferred language which threatens the viability of the Mother Tongue as an everyday language. In an effort to develop children’s interest in Malay and their capacity to read in the language, the study reported in this paper examined the value of a strategy that involved preschool Malay children and their families doing shared reading in both Malay and English using dual language storybooks. Ten preschoolers participated in reading sessions with their parents at home and with their friends in school for six months. Analysis of field notes and interview data indicate that children were aware of the differences in the structure of words, sounds and spelling across languages. Parents used dual language strategies which included code switching, translation and bilingual vocabulary. A particular strength of bilingual books is the scaffolding they provide children with to read in a language they are weak in. Parents play an important role in helping their children learn to become additive bilinguals in a situation in which they were losing the active use of their mother tongue. | ||||
| Dalam sistem pendidikan Singapura, dua bahasa wujud secara berasingan: bahasa Inggeris bahasa pengantar bagi semua mata pelajaran teras seperti Matematik dan Sains manakala bahasa Ibunda dipelajari sebagai satu mata pelajaran. Kajian antarabangsa menunjukkan bahawa pendekatan ini, dalam suasana kehidupan masyarakat yang didominasi bahasa Inggeris, bukanlah yang terbaik untuk menghasilkan pelajar yang selesa dan cekap menggunakan bahasa Ibunda di samping bahasa Inggeris. Kadar kanak-kanak Singapura yang lebih kerap menggunakan bahasa Inggeris di rumah daripada bahasa Ibunda telah meningkat tahun demi tahun menjejaskan pelestarian bahasa Ibunda sebagai bahasa seharian. Dalam usaha mengembalikan minat dan keupayaan kanak-kanak Melayu membaca dalam bahasa Melayu, kajian yang dilaporkan dalam kertas kerja ini menyelidiki nilai strategi yang melibatkan kanak-kanak prasekolah membaca bersama ibu bapa dan rakan sebaya dalam bahasa Melayu dan Inggeris dengan menggunakan buku cerita dwibahasa. Sepuluh kanak-kanak prasekolah menyertai sesi membaca dengan ibu bapa mereka di rumah dan dengan rakan-rakan di sekolah selama enam bulan. Analisis nota lapangan dan data temu bual menunjukkan bahawa kanak-kanak sedar akan perbezaan binaan kata, bunyi bahasa dan ejaan antara bahasa. Penggunaan strategi merentas bahasa termasuk amalan dwibahasa yang meliputi alih kod, terjemahan, dan pembinaan kosa kata dwibahasa. Satu kekuatan khusus buku dwibahasa ialah perancah yang disediakan bagi membantu kanak-kanak membaca dalam bahasa yang mereka belum kuasai. Peranan ibu bapa penting dalam memberi sokongan agar anak-anak dapat menggunakan Bahasa Ibunda dengan baik di samping Bahasa Inggeris dalam suasana yang mana kanak-kanak ini sudah mula tidak menggunakan bahasa Ibunda dengan aktif. | ||||

| Educating a child spiritually has been the domain of the family, while provision of religious education, an extension of the child’s religious upbringing. However, religious education, as with any type of education, is never the independent or neutral imparting of information in relation to the teaching and learning of texts and languages but rather it projects power relations. This paper reports on Muslim parents’ beliefs on what is appropriate religious education for their children as they express their opinion on the pedagogy and curriculum of the state-approved Islamic religious education programme that their children attend. It is part of a larger study of two weekend Islamic religious education programmes for young Muslim children. In the semi-structured interviews with parents of 20 children, two lines of argument can be discerned: one is the desire to nurture what Boyle would consider an embodied spirituality, the other an attempt at cultivating good citizenry. The paper concludes with a discussion on the aims and practice of religious education and how it is impacted by the increasingly interconnected and shrinking global world. | ||||
| Mendidik anak dari segi kerohanian telah menjadi domain keluarga, sementara penyediaan pendidikan keagamaan merupakan lanjutan dari pendidik agama anak itu. Walau bagaimanapun, pendidikan agama, seperti mana-mana jenis pendidikan, tidak pernah merupakan penyebaran maklumat yang berlaku secara bebas atau neutral berhubung dengan pengajaran dan pembelajaran teks dan bahasa tetapi sebaliknya ia memperlihatkan hubungan kuasa. Makalah ini melaporkan kepercayaan ibu bapa Islam tentang pendidikan agama yang sesuai untuk anak-anak mereka apabila mereka menyatakan pendapat mereka mengenai pedagogi dan kurikulum program pendidikan agama Islam anak-anak mereka yang diluluskan pemerintah. Ini adalah sebahagian daripada kajian yang lebih besar terhadap dua program pendidikan agama Islam hujung minggu untuk anak-anak kecil Islam. Dalam wawancara separa berstruktur dengan ibu bapa 20 orang kanak-kanak, dua jenis hujahan dapat diperhatikan: pertama, keinginan untuk memupuk apa yang Boyle anggap sebagai kerohanian seseorang, satu lagi percubaan untuk memupuk rakyat yang baik. Makalah ini menyimpulkan dengan perbincangan mengenai tujuan dan amalan pendidikan agama dan bagaimana ia dipengaruhi oleh dunia global yang semakin saling terhubung dan mengecil. | ||||

| In this chapter, ethnographic methods are used to illustrate some of the dynamic relationships involved in the transmission and development of literacy practices in a Malay family in Singapore. Interactions between parents, between parents and the children, and between the home and the school all contribute to the nature of reading and writing practices in the home. The picture that emerges adds to the literature on the effects of children’s home language experience on their school performance. This chapter also documents the influence from the opposite direction, that is, the impact of school literacy practices on what happens in the home. While school-type literacy practices are usually typical of middle-class homes including that of Malay families, in the family reported in this chapter, school experience is mediated in particular ways by parents’ personal histories, religion, occupation, and by the experience of the older siblings. | ||||
| Dalam bab ini, kaedah etnografi digunakan untuk menunjukkan beberapa hubungan dinamik yang terlibat dalam penyampaian dan pembangunan amalan literasi dalam keluarga Melayu di Singapura. Interaksi antara ibu bapa, ibu bapa dan anak-anak, dan antara rumah dan sekolah semuanya menyumbang kepada amalan membaca dan menulis di rumah. Penjelasan yang muncul menambah kepada khazanah ilmu mengenai kesan pengalaman bahasa rumah kanak-kanak terhadap prestasi sekolah mereka. Bab ini juga memaparkan pengaruh dari arah yang bertentangan, iaitu, kesan amalan literasi sekolah terhadap apa yang berlaku di rumah. Walaupun amalan literasi jenis sekolah biasanya tipikal yang terdapat di rumah kelas menengah termasuk keluarga orang Melayu, dalam keluarga yang dilaporkan dalam bab ini, pengalaman sekolah disusun dengan cara tertentu oleh sejarah peribadi, agama, pekerjaan, dan pengalaman adik beradik yang lebih tua. | ||||

| This chapter explains in detail the elements of values covered in Primary 1 and 2 textbooks and workbooks that have been published by CPDD, MOE. As BM is the repository for cultural and normative values that form the central tenets of life in the Malay society, as well as the ‘Arif Budiman’ concept that all Malay students are expected to realise, this chapter has successfully covered all the various aspects of values and culture, which have been included either directly or indirectly, ensuring that the message is understood by the books’ target audience, students from Primary 1 and 2. Having used the triangulation method for data collection, that is, the observation analysis in classrooms as well as detailed textual analysis, it seems that the values embedded in the texts have been unearthed thoroughly. The value components found in the textbooks include kindness, respect, graciousness, thrift/wise spending, love, hard work, helping one another, and responsibility. On top of that, cultural elements that were uncovered include clothing, traditional games, marriage customs, ceremonies, and Hari Raya, as well as the custom of eating using hands. Classroom observation as well as transcripts of teacher and student conversations show a level of afore-mentioned value application during teaching that is somewhat awkward as teachers place a greater emphasis on teaching grammar. | ||||
| Bab ini mencerakin unsur-unsur nilai yang terangkum dalam buku teks dan buku kerja bagi darjah satu dan dua yang telah diterbitkan oleh pihak CPDD, MOE. Oleh kerana BM menjadi wadah penyambung budaya dan nilai kehidupan yang menjadi teras kepada cara hidup masyarakat Melayu, serta konsep arif budiman yang menjadi matlamat yang diharapkan akan tercapai oleh para pelajar Melayu, maka bab ini telah berjaya mencungkil kesemua aspek nilai dan budaya yang dirangkumkan secara langsung atau tidak langsung bagi memampukan mesej itu dapat diserapkan dalam jiwa pembaca buku tersebut iaitu kanak-kanak dalam darjah satu dan dua. Kaedah triangulasi yang dimanfaatkan bagi mengumpul data, iaitu analisis pemerhatian bilik darjah serta analisis teks yang teliti, nampaknya kandungan elemen nilai berjaya dicungkil dengan menyeluruh. Di antara komponen nilai yang dijumpai dalam buku teks adalah seperti nilai baik hati, hormat menghormati, berbudi bahasa, berjimat cermat, sayang menyayangi, berkerja keras/rajin, tolong menolong dan bertanggungjawab. Di samping itu, elemen budaya yang berjaya dicungkil adalah aspek pakaian, permainan tradisional,adat perkahwinan, majlis kenduri dan hari raya serta buda makan dengan menggunakan tangan.Pemerhatian bilik darjah serta transkripsi perbualan guru dan murid menunjukkan peringkat pengaplikasin nilai-nilai tersebut dalam pengajaran agak genjot kerana para guru lebih memberatkan pengajaran tatabahasa secara khusus. | ||||

| The nature of professional development for the sustained implementation of assessment for learning (AfL) is a pressing and perennial challenge. So too are pupils transfering between schools. This chapter explores how cross-phase collaborative learning supports the development of AfL practice. Teachers from a secondary school and its seven feeder primary schools worked together using three principles of AfL derived from previous research to assist analysis of existing practices, to plan developments, and to scaffold discourse. The value of this approach was revealed by data gathered through questionnaires and interviews with teachers in the working group, along with observations of workshops at which participant teachers shared their work with other teachers, who were also invited to complete a questionnaire. It is suggested that AfL, underpinned by the principles of making learning explicit, promoting learning autonomy, and focusing on learning, can act as a pedagogical unifier across age ranges and subjects and thus aid pupil transfer. Recommendations are proposed for teachers, policymakers, and particularly school leaders. | ||||
| Isu pembangunan profesional untuk pelaksanaan penilaian untuk pembelajaran (AfL) adalah cabaran yang mendesak dan berterusan. Begitu juga dengan hal peralihan murid antara sekolah. Bab ini menerangkan bagaimana pembelajaran kolaboratif yang merentas fasa, menyokong perkembangan amalan AfL. Guru-guru dari sebuah sekolah menengah dan tujuh sekolah rendah saluran bekerjasama menggunakan tiga prinsip AfL, berasaskan penyelidikan awal, untuk membantu menganalisis amalan, merancang perkembangan, dan menyokong perbincangan tentang pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Nilai pendekatan ini dilihat melalui data yang dikumpul menerusi borang soal selidik dan temu bual bersama guru dalam kumpulan kerja. Pemerhatian juga dilaksanakan ketika bengkel di mana guru peserta berkongsi kerja mereka dengan guru-guru lain, yang turut dijemput untuk memberi maklum balas melalui borang soal selidik. Bab ini mencadangkan bahawa perlaksanaan AfL, yang disokong oleh prinsip-prinsip: 1) menjadikan pembelajaran jelas, 2) mempromosikan autonomi pelajar, dan 3) memberi tumpuan kepada pembelajaran, boleh bertindak sebagai pengantara pedagogi merentas umur pelajar dan subjek serta seterusnya, dapat membantu dalam peralihan murid. Bab ini juga mengemukakan cadangan untuk guru, penggubal dasar, dan terutama sekali pemimpin. | ||||

| Teachers tend to meet a dead end when it comes to explaining the aesthetic, philosophical and intellectual value inherent in Malay proverbs. In fact, many teachers adopt a purely explicit way of teaching Malay proverbs. This study explores a teaching strategy that utilizes the Teaching for Understanding (TfU) framework and the use of Aurasma, a smart phone application that leverages the use of augmented reality. The findings of the study suggests that the interactive nature of the application makes the lesson not only fun but also experiential and relevant to the way they make implicit meanings of the knowledge gained from the Malay proverbs. | ||||
| Para guru sering bertemu dengan jalan buntu apabila tiba masanya untuk memperlihatkan nilai estetik, falsafah dan keintelektualan yang sedia ada dalam peribahasa Melayu. Malah, guru-guru kadang kala menyerah kalah lalu menggunakan pendekatan pengajaran eksplisit kerana inginkan anak didiknya untuk meraih markah yang baik bagi komponen peribahasa dalam kertas peperiksaan. Kertas ini akan mengutarakan strategi pengajaran yang dijalankan di Sekolah Menengah Ngee Ann selama sepenggal bagi 24 orang pelajar Menengah Satu yang mengambil kursus Bahasa Melayu / Bahasa Melayu Lanjutan. Ia berpandukan rangka kerja pengajaran Teaching for Understanding (TfU) dan dibantu oleh kecanggihan aplikasi telefon bijak dan tablet, Aurasma. Sebelum kajian dijalankan, para pelajar diminta untuk mencatatkan perasaan dan pendapat jujur mereka mengenai pengajaran dan pembelajaran peribahasa di Sekolah Menengah Ngee Ann sejauh ini. Pascakajian, maklum balas mereka juga diminta sebagai data kualitatif. Dengan ini, objektif kajian untuk memastikan para pelajar lebih memahami dan menghayati peribahasa secara implisit boleh dicapai. | ||||

| This paper reports on one particular finding which emerged from a Singapore study of young Malay children reading bilingual English-Malay books. Observations were conducted at home and in school to explore the utility of these books in developing children’s biliteracy. Focussing on a range of language behaviours that can be considered as ‘bilingual practices’ such as code-switching and translating, the purpose of this paper is to explore how these practices were used by the mothers as strategies to help their children read and make sense of the books. Data analysis shows that the use of these practices influences the language behaviour of children initially considered as English dominant. The role of the mothers were integral in introducing these practices and in encouraging their children to learn these practices as tools to develop their biliteracy. | ||||

Pemerhatian dijalankan di rumah dan di sekolah untuk meneroka penggunaan buku-buku ini dalam membangunkan biliterasi kanak-kanak. Dengan menumpukan perhatian kepada pelbagai tingkah laku bahasa yang boleh dianggap sebagai 'amalan dwibahasa' seperti menukar kod dan menterjemah, makalah ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji bagaimana amalan ini digunakan oleh para ibu sebagai strategi untuk membantu anak-anak mereka membaca dan memahami buku-buku tersebut. Analisis data menunjukkan bahawa penggunaan amalan ini mempengaruhi tingkah laku bahasa kanak-kanak yang pada awalnya dianggap sebagai dominan dalam bahasa Inggeris. Peranan ibu adalah penting dalam memperkenalkan amalan-amalan ini dan menggalakkan anak-anak mereka supaya mempelajari amalan-amalan ini sebagai alat untuk membangunkan biliterasi mereka. | ||||

| This chapter presents data from a study of primary 1 and 2 (P1 and P2) lessons for Chinese, English, Malay and Tamil. There are few, if any, comparative studies which examine pedagogy in all four official languages in Singapore; therefore, our primary purpose is to investigate how classroom teaching is similar or different for the four languages. For this investigation, data are drawn from 62 lessons observed in 2009 after new language syllabi were introduced. Despite a continuing policy of maintaining separate teaching teams, materials, syllabi/curricula and teacher training for each language, many of the policies for language and education apply across all four languages. These include recent emphasis on oral skill development, recommendations that schools develop more engaging pedagogies for young learners and common policies on assessment. Our data shows that teaching across the four languages are remarkably similar, which we take to be evidence of the impact of the common policies and cultural beliefs about language education in Singapore primary schools. | ||||
| Bab ini membentangkan data dari kajian pelajaran Bahasa Cina, Inggeris, Melayu dan Tamil darjah 1 dan 2. Hanya terdapat beberapa kajian yang membandingkan pedagogi yang digunakan dalam semua bahasa rasmi Singapura. Tujuan utama adalah untuk menyiasat sejauhmanakah pengajaran dalam bilik darjah berbeza atau sama bagi empat bahasa yang berbeza. Data dikumpul daripada 62 pemerhatian terhadap pengajaran dalam bilik darjah pada tahun 2009,iaitu selepas silibus baru untuk bahasa diperkenalkan. Walaupun terdapat pasukan pengajaran, bahan-bahan, silibus yang berbeza bagi setiap bahasa, kebanyakan polisi untuk bahasa and pendidikan adalah sama dan boleh digunakan untuk kesemua empat bahasa. Ini termasuk penekanan yang diberi pada kemahiran lisan, penggunaan pedagogi yang lebih melibatkan pelajar yang muda dan polisi yang sama keatas penilaian. Data kami menunjukkan pengajaran merentasi empat bahasa sangat mirip, kerana polisi dan amalan budaya mengenai pendidikan yang sama bagi sekolah rendah di Singapura. | ||||

| This paper reports on one particular finding which emerged from a Singapore study of young Muslim children attending the last year of a four-year Islamic education weekend program. The program provides the 5-8 year old young learners with a learning environment in which they not only memorise Qur’anic verses but also learn the relevance of Islamic values and practices in their daily lives through activities which are age-appropriate. Learning in the program is perceived to be holistic in that it recognises the roles of thinking (cognitive), feeling (affective) and reflecting (spiritual) as complementary within the learning process. Children’s account of what they have learnt suggests the emergence of the interplay between these learning dimensions. Such interplay, as argued in this paper, may lead to transformative learning experiences even as the program itself is concerned with a particular outcome (i.e., convergence with the Islamic worldview). | ||||
| Makalah ini melaporkan satu dapatan khusus yang muncul daripada kajian di Singapura terhadap anak-anak kecil Islam yang menghadiri tahun akhir program pendidikan Islam yang berjalan pada hujung minggu selama empat tahun. Program ini menyediakan pelajar-pelajar kecil berusia 5-8 tahun dengan persekitaran pembelajaran di mana mereka bukan sahaja menghafal ayat-ayat al-Qur'an tetapi mempelajari juga kerelevanan nilai-nilai dan amalan Islam dalam kehidupan seharian melalui aktiviti-aktiviti yang bersesuaian dengan usia mereka. Pembelajaran dalam program ini dianggap holistik kerana ia mengiktiraf peranan berfikir (kognitif), perasaan (afektif) dan renungan (spiritual) sebagai pelengkap dalam proses pembelajaran. Penceritaan kanak-kanak tentang apa yang mereka pelajari menunjukkan kewujudan hubungan antara dimensi-dimensi pembelajaran tersebut. Interaksi berkenaan, seperti yang dibincangkan dalam makalah ini, boleh membawa kepada pengalaman pembelajaran transformatif walaupun program itu sendiri tertumpu kepada hasil tertentu (iaitu mencapai keselarian dengan pandangan dunia dari sudut agama Islam). | ||||

| In the current teaching world, Information and Communication Technology plays a vital role. ICT is a tool which enhances pupils’ learning and understanding of any key concept. Great emphasis has been placed on integrating ICT with lessons. The youth today are highly responsive to and connected to the digital platform. Lessons can be made more innovative and interactive with the help of ICT tools. Tamil Language teaching and learning for students is made fun through ICT. Some popular tools include videos, the use of interactive tools such as iPads and computers. These help to direct the students towards learning and discovering on their own. When students are tasked to discover and learn on their own, they become more engaged in their learning. For instance, students who face difficulties reading could learn to read better with the assistance of e-books. This could be done both at home and in school. Two-way communication skills, in both speaking and writing is one of the emphasis in Mother Tongue teaching. This skill can be cultivated in students by planning ICT-infused lessons. For example, blogging. Blogging is a platform where students are free to express their opinions, experience and learning. Lot of Tamil resources are available online. Schools can train and encourage students to develop these resources as well. E-books and topic-based podcasts could be amongst those initiatives. The use of ICT is also able to effectively connect parents with the learning of their children. Educational platforms allow learning to take place at home. Television and radio broadcasts in Tamil can now be found online. Students can both watch and listen to relevant shows and develop their interests in learning Tamil Language. | ||||

| Our traditional games and game-based songs have cultural values. As such, we would like to teach our students these traditional games and game-based songs for better understanding of our values and integrating them into their daily lives. Our traditional songs have an array of benefits which include the teaching of correct pronunciation. When these songs are practiced aloud, the students will be able to recognize and pronounce Tamil alphabets in the proper manner. In the past, people lived as joint-families. However, in our current modern world, most of them are living with their separate families. As such, they do not have sufficient knowledge and exposure with regards to the proper kinship terms. Most of the traditional Tamil game-based songs include Tamil kinship terms, Tamil names of flowers, names of the 12 Tamil Months, and names of the 60 Tamil years. All these, can be taught easily through our Tamil game-based songs. By singing the songs, students can build on their vocabulary. Self-directed learning is one important aspect amongst the 21st CC skills. These songs equip our students skills necessary to meet the challenges of the globalized world today as well as enhancing their psychological learning. While playing these traditional games, students tend to learn more from their peers as compared to their parents and teachers. Many Tamil students face problems in reading Tamil fluently. Practicing our game-based songs will help to recognize, speak and read Tamil without much difficulties, making them more fluent in reading. Most of the songs have values and deep meanings, which boost the morale of students allowing them to have a greater sense of esteem. In all, we would like to reiterate that teaching and learning through Tamil game-based songs is enjoyable, enriching and fulfilling. | ||||

| This presentation discusses the challenges faced in maintaining and sustaining the mother tongue language in diasporic Tamil communities. Mother tongue language is a great asset and benefits a child from birth. When the medium of education is different from a child’s mother tongue language, it becomes the duty of the parents and the heritage language teachers to use the language as a functional resource. In today’s twenty first century context, acquiring mother tongue language has many benefits like using it as a functional and communicative resource and treasuring it as a linguistic identity and ethnic solidarity. This presentation shares the educational research projects based experiences of Singapore Tamil classrooms using data that had been collected and analysed qualitatively from primary and secondary school classrooms. Recommendations to the Tamil community (and educators?) include understanding the nature of hybrid identity and second language or heritage language situation, making meaningful and motivating linguistic and cultural investments on youth, conducting sustainable teacher training, preparing interesting reading resources for children, facilitating immersion in language (from the first to the fifth year of a child) and strengthening the unity in the community. | ||||

| Reading skill is an invaluable skill. It has the ability to determine a country’s economy. Teachers can read stories for students to listen and have dialogues on the stories even before pre-school children begin to acquire reading skills in Tamil. This workshop attempts to improve aspects such as students’ prior knowledge, vocabulary, extended dialogue, learning language with enthusiasm and joy in order to use it in life and discovering information about a topic. The workshop will also share various strategies such as recording of classroom lessons, recommendations from research studies (Cummins, 1979; Schiffman, 1999; Stanton-Salazar, R. D. (2004). Kagan, O. E., Carreira, M. M., & Chik, C. H. (2017). Halliday, (1998), Heikka & Waniganayake, 2011 cf.

| Joy of Learning is about nurturing an intrinsic motivation towards learning in every student. Education Minister, Mr Ng Chee Meng has mentioned that through Joy of Learning, students will be able to discover their interests, grow their passion and love what they are doing. Student autonomy in classrooms is proven to increase intrinsic motivation to learn. Students’ autonomy can be supported by teachers’ minimizing the salience of evaluative pressure and any sense of coercion in the classroom, as well as by maximizing students’ perceptions of having a voice and choice in those academic activities in which they are engaged. Research suggests that autonomy-supportive teaching practices are associated with positive outcomes in the classroom. For example, Chirkov and Ryan (2001) studied both Russian and US high-school students and found that students’ perceptions of both teacher and parent autonomy support were associated with greater internalization of academic motivation. Therefore, we will be sharing with teachers strategies that can foster the Joy of Learning while increasing their intrinsic motivation to learn mother tongue languages. The strategies shared would include, i) Critical Literacy Approach; ii) 6 Factors Differentiation ; iii) Plot Prediction Strategy. These strategies allow students to actively participate in the activities without the pressure or need to give the right answer. On top of that, these strategies also help to build on the students’ critical thinking skills and enhance their language skills by building on their vocabulary and presentation skills. For example, under the Critical Literacy Approach, students will have to critically review Tamil songs and share their thoughts and feelings with the class. Students are well versed in and enjoy listening to Tamil Songs. Therefore, the sharing by the students is more spontaneous and non-threatening as they will not be penalised for being wrong. Lessons would also move away from being teacher-centric to student-centric as students’ voices is the focal point in the discussions. Similar to this, strategies which are innovative and induce the Joy of Learning would be shared to teachers in the presentation. | ||||

| In primary one Tamil reading lessons, students will be introduced to learning alphabet, writing letters; words containing the letters taught; and sentences containing those words (Harrison, Maurice, 1965; Piasta and Wagner, 2010). The reading lessons will mostly include the interaction between the student and the teacher. This paper analyses the content of the reading lesson and as well as the student teacher talk (Rymes Betsy, 2016). It also discusses role of the teacher as a facilitator, the students’ interest in learning and the pros and cons of the language the students speak at home. This analysis is based on the transcriptions of the reading lessons and the encouragement, teacher’s beliefs (Cyndi Maxey, 2013; James Rath, 2011) and the facilitating skills of the teacher enabling the students to ease through the lesson and as well as empowering them to acquire the language were the key findings of our research. Research findings includes effective Big Book Teaching approach and sustained engagement in speaking in the class and they will be elaborated further at the conference. Understanding teachers’ pedagogical needs and providing professional development courses will be the key for the educational development. | ||||

| This paper highlights the use of Standard Spoken Tamil (SST) in Tamil classrooms in Singapore. Tamil language is one of the official languages in Singapore and is taught as a Mother Tongue Language subject at second language level in schools. Due to changing demographic patterns, majority of young students come from homes where English is the dominant language and are acquiring Standard Spoken Tamil (MOE, 2005) in their Tamil language classes. The implementation of Standard Spoken Tamil into curriculum took place in 2005. The research project team (DEV13/15 SL) has been working on creating a corpus bank of the classroom spoken language. Out of the 27 classrooms selected, data was collected from 14 classrooms through audio and video recordings which have been transcribed into Tamil and translated into English to create a corpus. The corpus has the potential materials to conduct courses for teachers to develop their teaching (Chambers, Farr and O’Riordan, 2011; Cubero and Ignacio, 2011; Honan, 2010, Zaki, 2017) approaches and strategies based on the students’ use of language in the Tamil classrooms. Data from six Primary and eight Secondary classroom lessons were analysed to examine the teachers’ and students’ use of SST during their lessons. Preliminary findings show that there is a significant improvement in the use SST between teachers and students due to their mutual understanding, sustained engagement, encouragement and motivation in the class. | ||||

Before effective learning takes place, it is important for the students to feel that they are the key agents in their learning. They need to have a sense of comradeship in their classroom where they feel a sense of connectedness and feel empowered to develop their capacity in learning. This is only possible when teachers create a suitable learning environment where they are responsive to students’ voices and subsequently actions that follow (Wiliams, 2017). Student agency is critical in language learning and discourse analysis will enable one to study the interaction that takes place in a language classroom. This will facilitate the understanding of how the learning environment is structured and to what extent there is a capacity for student agency. This paper analyses the data collected from the Tamil classrooms under the research project (DEV03/SL15) (Seetha Lakshmi et al., 2015). Data included audio and video recordings that have been transcribed into Tamil and then translated into English. The preliminary findings of two Primary classroom data reveal that the level of classroom interaction is increased by student agency and teachers’ facilitation on sustained speaking. | ||||

| Picture books in Tamil are used extensively by Singaporean early childhood educators and parents to help develop reading skills and critical literacy amongst young children. Although the purpose of using these books is to assist young children learn Tamil language, these picture books are set in contexts that are alien to the environment in which Singaporean children live in and do not pay attention to the practices and beliefs of Singaporean society. While children’s literature should promote universality of beliefs and cross-cultural understanding, this paper asserts that children’s language acquisition is dependent on language-settings that resonate with communities and the wider society in which children are part of (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). Since children move through a series of life transitions which necessitate the use of language to gain access to social support and coping skills, understanding the interconnectedness between people and their environment will help them understand how Tamil is identified and used in the Singaporean context (Lakshmi, S & Saravanan, V, 2011). Hence, how can Tamil language picture books help promote the use of Standard Spoken Tamil (SST) and which type of picture books are needed in the Tamil language to help Singaporean children distinguish SST from the Tamil language varieties used in Tamil Nadu? After assessing fifty Tamil language children picture books published in Singapore through process-based analysis, (Hearne, 1993; Johnston, Bainbridge & Shariff, 2007), this paper emphasises the need for picture books to promote SST in a climate where Singaporean Tamilians no longer view themselves as part of a Tamil Diaspora but see themselves as a community that is Singaporean in identity, belief and practice. | ||||

| Despite governmental and community efforts to support Tamil maintenance in Singapore, census and school data show a decrease in the number of Indian families using Tamil as the predominant home language. While this is true of Singapore’s other mother tongues as well, diglossia compounds the declining use of Tamil in Singapore. In addition to a formal, written form, Tamil has more than one oral form. Currently teachers are encouraged to teach Standard Spoken Tamil as the educated, oral variety. This article explores those efforts through an analysis of language use in classrooms. | ||||

| The primary objective of this paper is to throw light on the various pedagogies to teach Tamil Language (Second Language) in a fun and effective manner and why such unorthodox teaching methods have to be used in the teaching of second language. The article largely aims to talk about new pedagogies, which would be helpful in teaching Tamil language (Second Language) in diasporic community in a fun filled and effective way. The pedagogies that are mentioned in this article are teaching literature by engaging students visually, creating “real life” scenario for learners (booth method), learning vocabulary and the use of words via songs from Tamil cinema and learning culture and language by playing traditional games. The article will also explain about the reasons why such unorthodox and creative pedagogical methods are required in the teaching of the Tamil Language to students in a diasporic community. | ||||

| This paper shares the thought process behind effective thinking which in turn impacts the teaching and results achievable through that. Thinking skill is the basis of teaching and learning process. It can be improved when the teacher deeply thinks over every factor of the process and teaches in accordance with the mood of the learners. Teaching and learning process is a continuous one. Teaching techniques must be formed with this kind of realization and they should adapt to learners requirements. Teaching is done well when the teaching methods are changed in accordance to the time, place and situation. Teaching and learning process will improve when teachers and students develop thinking skill, which is indeed the basis of every skill. | ||||

| Together with knowledge and language competencies, it is essential for students to be equipped with the 21st Century Skills. Of these, Information technology is vital. Integrating and teaching these skills together with language activities would be appropriate and beneficial. There are many tools available to create and share e-books easily. However, the purpose of this paper is to identify the software that are simple, effective and quick to use, and at the same time, demonstrate ways to effectively integrate other forms of electronic media to create e-books and use them. By exploring learning through the usage of computers and new technologies such as eBooks, students will find self-motivation in learning and an improvement in joint-learning. Students who receive such experiences will be responsible for their learning. This is indeed the basis for the student's self-learning. | ||||

| In Language Teaching, the particular language to a learner should be taught using communicative approach. Teaching grammar and lexicon isolated from their real communicative function cannot be considered as Language Teaching. Teaching the language is different from teaching about the language. In developing the language teaching materials, the above-mentioned aspect of the communicative approach should be kept in mind. The materials or lessons should be authentic (real-time communication) instead of ‘contrived’ or synthetic one. This paper is about how the Tamil Language electronic learning Corpus developed for this purpose can be used to teach Tamil to students. The Tamil Language electronic learning Corpus can be used in two ways in Language Teaching. The first way would be to use it to develop lessons, design curriculum/syllabus, and prepare textbooks. The other way is to use it in the direct teaching/learning activities that are used to teach Tamil to students through the Communicative Approach. | ||||

| Today’s 21st globalized world expects different set of skills from our young students. Hence the educators and the leaders in educational field need to inculcate surviving skills for 21st century and relevant knowledge to their students. For this, the educators and leaders of educational institutions at all levels are being trained themselves and developing their capabilities. This will enable the future citizens of the global world to be equipped with knowledge, skills, and experience to work for employers with high expectations and far-sighted goals. Currently, the knowledge based functional skills that are expected among our students are ability to use the digital technology, assessing capability of technological information and the intelligence to integrate the information and create new information. These skills are felt necessary at functional level in the knowledge-based economy (Partnership for 21st Century Skills, 2004). Using technology (Mike Eisenberg, Doug Johnson & Bob Berkowitz, 2010) in a responsible and ethical way to do research and solve the problems of a community is a level of skills needed for today’s youth. To develop this kind of future leaders, the educators and institutional leaders have to formulate themselves as 21st century educators and educational leaders. This paper will highlight the place of ICT in today’s knowledge-based economy and how it plays a critical role in developing young students to facilitate the growth of knowledge-based economy (Kenneth J. Literacy & Kenneth J. Luterbach, 2011) with a reference to ICT in Singapore’s Educational Institutions. | ||||

| Teacher education is the backbone of a country’s socio-economic development. For countries like Singapore, teacher education is vital to the development of its citizens and the sustainment of its knowledge-based economy. Designing a 21stcentury teacher education curriculum, enactment, evaluation and systematic review are key procedures here. National Institute of Education’s ‘A Teacher Education Model for the 21st Century (TE21) Framework’ (2009) fosters the enhanced partnership model with 6 key recommendations to equip the teachers to become skilled 21st century teachers for 21st century students. With strong ethical attitudes, values, skills, knowledge, hard work and continuous motivation, the 21st century teachers can be developed and sustained in their service. This paper traces the journey of teacher education programmes conducted by National Institute of Education and Finland by highlighting the importance of planning, developing and sustaining the 21st century teachers. As Finland is well-known for its structured teacher training and high-quality teacher education with research orientation, a comparative study of the systems would be beneficial and enlightening. | ||||

| Mother tongue education encompasses a person's cultural identity, heritage and values. Values and culture should be given importance in the education system. There is a need to carry out teaching and learning in a way that captivates students’ interest. Today’s short films serve as a training ground and tools for teaching for this purpose. This paper shares a list of short films and the various techniques that could be incorporated with them to achieve great teaching and learning outcomes. As a follow-up activity, after students have watched a short film, techniques such as ‘hot seating’ could be applied. This will help students to achieve the learning outcomes comprising of language and cultural components. By choosing short films, language learning in the classroom will appeal better to the students. Through this, students can continue to retain their learning curiosity. It would encourage them to make the language their preferred mode of communication. There is no doubt that we will bring our culture and values to them guide them thereon. | ||||

| Tamil Language has regained “Ancient Language” status and has been widely used throughout the world. As Tamil is becoming globalised, there are differing thoughts about teaching the language. For example, since there is no uniformity in teaching Tamil Grammar, even the basic and salient concept of the number of letters in Tamil language raises a debate. Additionally, with the rise of technology transcending into classrooms, students are stuck between teachers who on one hand believe in memorising for better understanding and on the other hand who believe that through new inventions such as iPhone and iPad, memory work is not required. As a result of such problems, there are difficulties in preparing and constructing software or other internet and computer related programs for usage throughout the world. Hence, this paper will be looking into such problems and elaborating them. It will also focus on problems faced by NIE Singapore during the teacher training course. The author hopes that giving prominence to such problems will enable the audience to learn about the problems and develop various solutions to mitigate them. | ||||

| In this poster-presentation, the nature of instructional phases observed in 12 Tamil lessons will be examined in detail with the aim of improving Tamil pedagogy. These lessons were observed as part of CRPP’s Core Project which involves a multi-level analysis of the Singapore School System. In the 12 Tamil lessons observed, there were altogether 182 phases. Examination of these phases indicated that teachers used a variety of instructional phases in Singapore Tamil classrooms and they were logically sequenced. But analysis of duration of some of these phases indicated that there were several short phases which resulted in abrupt phase shifts which interfered with proper task accomplishment and effective learning. Apart from these issues, the presentation will also examine the nature of specific phases which tend to have a bearing on student learning and use of the language in the classroom. | ||||

| The continued economic expansion of China over the past three decades is accompanied by a worldwide surge in demand for the teaching and learning of Chinese as an international language (TCIL), resulting in the production and publication of numerous course materials, both within and outside China, since the turn of the millennium. While choice aplenty, it has been observed that many of these materials have not been effective in meeting the needs of foreign language learners, one of the reasons being that they have been written mainly by target-native writers with a “target-native mindset”. Taking into consideration the uniqueness of the Chinese language with special reference to its written script, and building on the notion that a solid oral foundation forms the basis of all future learning, this paper proposes a curriculum framework for the teaching of basic spoken Chinese as a “truly foreign language” to English-speaking adult learners. The proposed framework could serve as a guide for the development, refinement and evaluation of elementary TCIL textbooks. Moving into the 21st century, rapid advancement in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and internet technology, coupled with the popular use and heavy reliance on mobile electronic devices including smartphones and tablets, has created a brand new online platform for daily communication and the transmission and exchange of information. This has in turn brought about tremendous changes to both teaching and learning. Anticipating a surge in demand for online learning, this paper illustrates with concrete examples how to make full use of multimedia resources and cutting-edge technology in designing e-materials that are effective in enhancing the development of both the listening and speaking skills, in support of online self-directed, self-paced learning. | ||||
| 汉语热持续升温，近年来由汉语内外圈不同单位、机构研究开发的国际汉语教材数量大增，为教师与学习者提供了较多元的选择，虽在“量”方面基本满足了市场需求，但在“质”方面却还有很大的发展空间。任何教材要取得良好的学习效果，首先必须有明确的对象群并充分了解对象群的学习需要。本文从“汉语作为真正的外语的教学”（Teaching of Chinese as a Truly Foreign Language）的视角切入，充分考虑外圈英语背景成人学习者的需要，从理论上探讨汉语的特点与难点，并在其基础上初步建立有助于提高学习效率、加强学习效果的基础汉语口语课程与教材框架。这个框架可用来评析现行初级国际汉语教材，帮助我们了解教材的具体问题并寻求具针对性的解决方案，对优化教材设计有一定的借鉴意义。迈入21世纪，信息科技的日新月异，互联网的日益普及，移动电子设施如智能手机、平板电脑的渐趋普遍为信息的传送与接收创造了全新的平台，不仅改变了人与人之间的沟通模式，也大大改变了现代人的学习方式与习惯。大势所趋，教材与教学将配合21世纪学习模式走向电子化。本文根据所建立的课程与教材框架，通过示例讨论如何充分利用移动设备的强大功能辅助学习，对落实国际汉语口语教材的电子化有参考作用。 | ||||

| The bilingual policy has always been the cornerstone of Singapore’s education system, requiring students to study the English language and their respective mother tongues. To ensure the effectiveness and relevance of the bilingual policy with the changing language environment in Singaporean homes, the curriculums of mother tongue languages were revamped following a review in 2010. In line with the recommendations of the review, the Ministry of Education (MOE) introduced the new Chinese Language Syllabus in 2014 and implemented a new curriculum “Huanle Huoban” in primary schools in the following year. One of the significant changes in the new curriculum “Huanle Huoban” included a greater emphasis on interaction skills and oral literacy to enhance pupils’ abilities to connect and communicate with others using their mother tongue languages, with the descriptive conceptualization being to first build the oralcy foundation of the students before learning reading and writing. The stipulated approaches and strategies for each lesson stated in the teacher’s guide are crafted by MOE, the curriculum center, from a national-level perspective. However, the descriptive conceptualization can be altered or even lost when transpiring from the curriculum center (MOE) to the teachers (J Goodlad, 1979). This research aims to 1) identify the gaps in applicational awareness of beginning Chinese Language teachers when using the “Huanle Huoban” textbooks and teaching materials in frontal teaching, and 2) suggest possible modifications to enhance effectiveness in meeting the learning needs of students. This research adopts a case study approach and the subjects of this research are trainee teachers who enrolled in the training module of “Teaching of Language Skills in Chinese: Speaking and Listening”. | ||||
| 自建国以来，双语政策始终是新加坡教育中不变的重要基础，英语与母语，也就是三大民族的族群语言，包括华语、马来语、淡米尔与以及其他印度族群的母语是10年免费教育中核心科目。为适应21世纪教育变革与新加坡学生家庭背景的变化，课程与教材适时每五年都会更新。以最新的发展情况来说，新加坡教育部于2014年5月根据母语课程检讨报告书发布了新课程标准，翌年推行了新教材《欢乐伙伴》。《欢乐伙伴》最大的特点就是“听说、读写分流并进，有机关联”，即先听说后读写，旨在分散难点。教师先进行听说技能的教学，学生掌握了口语词和句式后，再进行读写技能的教学。重视语言技能训练可说是新加坡小学母语教学重要变革。根据古德拉（J Goodlad，1979），课程从设计、制定到落实，分为五个阶段：理想课程（专家）、正式课程（教育部）、知觉课程（教师）、运作课程（课堂）以及经验课程（学生），而这五种课程在转化的过程中存在着一定的落差，更具体一点说，是存在递减的现象，即每一种课程都无法完全实现前一种课程所包括的所有内容。不但正式课程无法完全落实理想课程的内容，而且教师所感知到的正式课程也不可能百分之百符合课程设计者的初衷。换言之，课程递减是必然的。教师课程知觉与课堂运作有赖于其课程意识，包括主体意识、资源意识与生成意识。为帮助教师有效落实技能教学，教育部也进一步制定了单元化课堂导学系统：“引、学、练、用、评”，并提出具体化的课堂教学流程，例如“分段三看三说”为听说教学方法。本研究将以2017年国立教育学院职前培训中的听说技能教学课程为个案，反思在培养新手教师教材应用意识过程所遇到的挑战，进而提出如何以新课程教学目标为大前提，以学生为课堂学习主体，以教师为课堂教学主体来调适新教材，有效落实课堂教学。 | ||||

| 迈入21世纪，信息科技的日新月异，互联网的日益普及，移动电子设施如智能手机、平板电脑的渐趋普遍为信息的传送与接收创造了全新的平台，不仅改变了人与人之间的沟通模式，也大大改变了现代人的学习方式与习惯。大势所趋，教材与教学也将配合21世纪学习模式的更新而走向电子化。本文着重探讨在线基础汉语口语教程中聆听与说话练习的题型与设计。要取得最佳学习效果，不管聆听或者说话教学都需要个人化的指导和练习。由于人力资源以及课时等局限，线下语言课堂很难落实个人化口语学习，不过这些局限在资讯科技高度发达的互联网时代已得到解决。和读写技能相比，信息通信科技对训练听说二技的辅助作用更为显著。随着移动网络覆盖面急速扩大，网络速度不断提高，使用功能日益复杂的移动电子器材日益普遍，成为网络一族最基本、常用的学习与社交平台。这些具有强大多媒体功能的移动电子器材，特别是视频、录音以及配合最新的高智能人机对讲功能而产生的在线“语音操控个人助理”如Siri、chatbot等，都将对口语学习带来天翻地覆的改变。任何外语课程都必须兼顾两个方面的学习内容：和知识有关的“语言事实”（fact），以及和应用能力有关的“言语行为”（act）。“言语行为”让学习者在实际的操练与应用中“知其然”，真实体验目的语的操作；“语言事实”的输入则让学习者“知其所以然”，理解目的语的内部规律与特点。输入“语言事实”的手段是“解说”；培养“言语行为”的管道是“练习”。有效的练习分为三个阶段：1、进行机械式操练以内化语言点；2、在受控制的语境中进行应用性练习以促进语言点的迁移；3、在真实语境中进行交际性练习。本文综合美国ACTFL《为世界做好准备的外语标准》（World Readiness Standards）的3M交际模式以及欧盟CEFR的语言活动类型的特点，从课上与课下语言练习设计的角度切入，先概括出基础汉语外语口语课程需涵盖理解诠释、表达演示、人际交流以及中介四种语言交际模式，进而分析这四种交际模式和语言技能、学习者角色与信息流向之间的关系。在此基础上，本文举例说明在线听说教程中操练题（Drills），包括替换、转换、反应、扩展、组合五个小类、应用型练习（Application Exercise），包括聆听理解、转述及英汉转码、非互动性说话以及以及交际型练习（Communicative Exercise），包括角色扮演以及任务型练习应如何设计，以实现按需学习的目标，提高学习效果。 | ||||

While choice aplenty, the quality of the swiftly produced materials remains a major concern. The uniqueness of its written script makes Chinese a “truly foreign language” (Jorden & Walton, 1987). An effective Chinese program needs to take into consideration the challenges faced by its learners, especially during the beginning stage of learning. This thesis aims at developing a curriculum framework for the teaching of basic spoken Chinese as a “truly foreign language” to English-speaking adult learners. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the research background, stating its purpose, scope and methodology. Chapter 2 reviews pertinent research findings in the fields of linguistics, psycholinguistics and second language learning; describes the construction of a flexible framework for the teaching of Chinese to foreign learners; and includes the design of a comprehensive checklist for the evaluation of a beginning Chinese program. This is followed by the in-depth analysis and discussion in Chapters 3 to 5, of 3 sets of renowned representative Chinese language textbooks, viz., New Practical Chinese Reader Textbook, Integrated Chinese and Basic Spoken Chinese, with the help of the evaluation checklist. Chapter 6 proposes a curriculum framework for the development of an online program for Basic spoken Chinese, based on the discussion in the preceding chapters. It also recommends a hybrid model, which taps on the expertise of ICT engineers, textbook editors, base-native and target-native Chinese language instructors, for the teaching of Chinese as an international language. Chapter 7 summarizes the main contributions of this thesis and outlines pertinent research projects that could be undertaken in future. | ||||
| 千禧年以来，由中国经济腾飞所引发的汉语热持续升温。近年来内外圈不同单位、机构研发的国际汉语教材数量大增，为教师与学习者提供了较多元的选择，虽在“量”方面基本满足了市场需求，但在“质”方面却还有很大的发展空间。任何教材要取得良好的学习效果，首先必须有明确的对象群并充分了解对象群的学习需要。本论文从“汉语作为‘真正的外语’”（Chinese as a truly foreign language）的独特视角切入，充分考虑外圈英语背景成人学习者的需要，从理论上探讨汉语的特点与汉语学习的难点，并在其基础上初步建立有助于提高学习效率、加强学习效果的在线基础汉语口语课程与教材框架。论文共分七章。第一章介绍研究背景，并从汉语作为真正外语的视角切入，提出研究问题与目的，界定研究范围，介绍研究方法并阐述研究意义。第二章先结合语言学、心理语言学、外语教学理论探讨何以对印欧语系背景学习者而言汉语是“真正的外语”，分析汉语的特点并据此提出具有弹性的国际汉语课程总框架，继而论述开发基础汉语口语课程的必要性，初步建构“理想”的基础汉语口语外语课程的架构与内容，再从课程结构、课程内容、教学方法以及呈现形式四个方面设计基础汉语教程检测清单，作为分析现行汉语教材的工具。第三至第五章借助所研发的教程检测清单，分别从宏观及微观视角对三套具有代表性的国际汉语教材，即《新实用汉语课本》、《中文听说读写》以及《基础汉语：听与说》的课程结构及教材设计进行深入分析。第六章在三套国际汉语教材的讨论基础上，提出“理想”的初级汉语外语口语教程设计理念，建立教程与样课框架，继而探讨课程执行管理以及建立跨境“协作组合模式”的必要性。第七章结论，阐明本研究的原创性，并阐述后续研究的前景与展望。 | ||||

| 新加坡的英国殖民地政府在1950年12月，成立了一个 “新加坡成人教育咨询委员会” (Singapore Council for Adult Education), 开始关注成人教育的问题，其主要目标在于扫除文盲。然而，政府虽然有此良好构想，但如何落实这项政策仍然是极具挑战的。因为以扫除文盲、提升劳动力的知识文化水平为宗旨的成人教育，在当时的新加坡仍是一项全新的社会工程。许多相关的问题都需要作细致的规划。比如，教师、教材从何而来，上课的地点如何安排？其次，这项规划虽然用意至善，但是否能通过有效的宣导以获得民众的支持？本文拟指出，华文教育界当时曾积极地参与这项工作，协助政府实现其目标。华校校长和教师们，在成立于1946年的 “新加坡华校联合会” 的领导下，曾为这项影响深远的社会工程作出重大的贡献。 | ||||

| 新加坡华校联合会在成立后的短短几年内即建立起良好声誉，甚受公众赏识与器重。它以“研究教育问题，期健全华校行政机能，提高教育效率，及增进会员学校教职员之福利”为宗旨。它在战后的1940年代末，作为当时“本坡华校唯一之联合团体”，且“组织健全、宗旨纯正”，社会人士对它都“寄予莫大希望”。校联会在1950年代中后期到底曾为新加坡的华文教育事业做出了什么贡献，这些功业对当时的社会曾发挥过怎样的影响？又是什么因素造成它需要在这些方面付出努力，为之尽心尽力？我们又得以从校联会这首十年的发展历程之中，窥见新加坡的华文教育事业在此历史阶段中面对着什么困难和被赐予什么机遇？本书拟从校联会如何关怀学生福祉、发展教师福利、推动民众教育，及针对教育政策建言等四方面切入，来认识它在新加坡教育史上的定位。 | ||||
| 2017 | Supporting Primary School Mother Tongue Languages Beginning Teachers in the Teaching of Character and Citizenship Education Paper presented at NIE TE Forum, Singapore (2017, May) 提升小学母语新晋教师《好公民 好品德》的教育素养 | Chau Sook Kuan | Conference Presentations (without publication) | |
| The new Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) syllabus for primary schools was launched in 2014, providing clear directives for every school to adopt a total curriculum approach. While the distinctive role of Mother Tongue Languages (MTLs) teachers as CCE subject teachers remains unchanged, with more components added to the CCE syllabus, they are also assuming other CCE-related responsibilities such as Form Teacher Guidance Period lessons, school-based CCE lessons and programmes. MTLs teachers are now also “character coaches” who infuse teaching values in their own subjects, co-curricular activities or daily interactions with students. The series of new initiatives and different facets of expectations in CCE brought significant changes to the traditional role played by primary school MTLs teachers. MTLs beginning teachers must thoroughly understand and embrace these changes for them to be effective in the teaching of CCE. Thus, it is essential for teacher-mentors to place greater emphasis on supporting MTLs beginning teachers in this aspect. This paper aims to discuss effective strategies to support MTLs beginning teachers in the teaching of CCE and to help them play the role of “character coaches” well, with reference to the “3H Strategies” adopted by this researcher, an NIE lecturer, for training Chinese Language student teachers. The “3H Strategies” include (i) using specific tools to understand the pre-conceptions and perspectives of the student teachers, and to identify their learning needs; (ii) providing authentic experiential learning opportunities to address their misconceptions and learning needs; (iii) tracking conceptual change through observation and learners’ reflections. | ||||
| 新的小学《好公民好品德》教育 (CCE) 教学大纲于2014年推出，为每所学校采用全面课程方法提供了明确的指示。母语 (MTL) 教师作为CCE学科教师的独特角色保持不变。但随着CCE教学大纲中增加更多的组成部分，母语教师也承担起了其他 CCE相关的职责，例如级任老师辅导课、CCE校本课程和相关活动。这就代表母语教师作为“品德教练”的职责将贯穿课程、课外活动或与学生的日常互动中。 CCE的一系列新举措和不同层面的期许给小学母语教师的传统角色带来了巨大变化。母语新晋教师若要有效地兼任好公民好品德教师，就必须彻底理解和接受这些变化。因此，教师导师必须更着重为新晋教师提供这方面的辅助。本文旨在探讨为母语新晋教师提供CCE教学中的有效策略，以提升他们作为“品德教练”这一职责的能力。本项研究参考了该研究员（NIE讲师）进行母语教师培训课程时所采用的“3H策略”。 “3H 策略”包括 (i) 使用特定工具来了解学生教师的先入之见和观点，并确定他们的学习需求； (ii) 提供真实的体验式学习机会来解决他们的误解和学习需求； (iii) 通过观察和学习者的反思来跟踪概念变化。 | ||||

| In his book, Jiang Zhongkui elaborated on the "variable changes" of "Wei Xue" (divination) during the different dynasties. He likened some Confucian scholars in the past who were dogmatic and who viewed Chenwei as a cause in splitting the study of Confucian classics to modern scholars who were critical about Confucianism and who preferred to link it to the Yin-Yang School. Born during the late Qing Dynasty and grew up when the country became Republic of China, Jiang explained that the studies of classics and divination are two wings that complement each other. This not only provided a new perspective when looking at Chenwei, but also allowed the world see Jiang’s faith in the classics. From the historical point of view, Jiang have a special place in the development of Confucian classics during the late Qing dynasty and the early Republic of China. | ||||

| "Tianren zhi xue" was a learning developed by Han dynasty scholars, founded on the belief that there is a relationship of "resonance" or ganying, between the celestial and terrestrial spheres. Specifically, the school believes that if irregular celestial movement appears in heaven or visitation ans prodigy are seen in the natural world, it signifies that men (the ruling class in particular) had done something seriously wrong. That is because the improper deeds of men had upset the balance of wuxing or the five primal forces of nature, thus created these irregularities or anomalies. This is the rationale which explains the inter-relatedness or corresponding relationship between the celestial and terrestrial worlds. Such a belief essentially implies that every strange phenomenon observed in the heavenly or natural world could (and therefore also has to be) be explained by an un-approving act committed by men. The "Monographs on Five-Phases" (wuxingzhi, sometimes known as lingzhengzhi or zaiyizhi) seen in 14 of the 24 Standard Histories are a rich sources for the study of tianren zhi xue. Scholars have pointed out that such a matching correspondence between the celestial and terrestrial worlds are most apparent in the wuxingzhi of the Standard Histories composed during the times from the Han to Tang dynasties. However, the wuxingzhi in the Standard Histories composed during and after the Song dynasty have a common attribute: they would focus more on recording irregular celestial movements and anomalies but pay less attention on explaining the human misconducts believed to have caused these abnormal phenomena to occur. Such a development seems to indicate that from the Song dynasty onwards the tianren zhi xue began to suffer a decline, as the belief on which the learning was grounded, that there is a corresponding relationship between the celestial and terrestrial worlds, was no longer being taken seriously. This paper, however, argues that this development in fact was already evident in the wuxingzhi or lingzhengzhi and zaiyizhi of the various Standard Histories composed during the post-Han and pre-Song period, with the exception of that compiled in the time of the Eastern Jin dynasty. And in regard to this observation, it analyses the state of the "tianren zhi xue" learning in the time of Three Kingdoms through Jin and [Liu] Song dynasties. | ||||
| 汉儒有一种期以灾异警戒人主的天人之学。其以为，天人之间有一种“感应”的关系，因此自然灾异之征，必有其人事之应。历代正史中的<五行志>，实可作为我们窥探这门学术之大体的其中一种文献。自班固作《汉书》首例<五行志>以来，编纂于两晋南北朝时期，以及完成于唐、宋年间和之后的国史类著作都列有<五行志>或<灾异志>。学界目前的研究重在指出，纂成于汉、唐之间的正史中的<五行志>，似有一共同的书写模式，即对所记录的自然灾异必诠释其人事之应。然而，在宋代及其后完成的<五行志>中，则一般只单纯记录所见之自然灾害及物异之实，而不对其如何附会人事再作解读。这样的改变似乎表明从中晚唐至宋初开始，人们对天人之间的感应关系已不复有以往之信仰。本文首先指出，其实“着其灾异，而削其事应”的处理手法，早在编著于三国、晋宋年间的<五行志>中已见其端。因此，如果<五行志》中所陈的灾异纪事之变化可以作为窥探天人之学的兴衰消长的一个凭借的话，那么在汉、魏之际以降直至整个南北朝时期，天人之学受重视的程度已不复昔日之盛；其次说明，唯独在东晋时代，也就是干宝等人的活跃时期，这门穷究天人之间交感关系的学术可能曾有过一段短暂的回潮。 | ||||

| Through the years of being a British colony to becoming a sovereign country, Chinese education and Chinese teaching have always occupy a prominent position in the overall educational structure of Singapore. However, in terms of the nature and objectives of the content, it is constantly adapting or changing in response to changes in the political economy and social environment, as well as changes in the overall situation of the times, thus developing a unique Chinese education system. The main purpose of this chapter is to summarize this development process. | ||||

| The ideological value of Confucianism laid the foundation for a shared vision towards common development as well as the shared belief of world peace in today’s world. This is because Confucianism still has lasting vigor and vitality. Beginning with the emperor of the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, Confucianism gradually entered the political field, providing a series of political ideas for society stability in the early Han Dynasty. Confucianism played an indelible role in the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Taking the history of the early Han Dynasty as a mirror, this chapter further explores Confucianism and contemporary politics. | ||||

| Dr Zhou Zhaocheng's book "Language, Politics and Nationalization: Nanyang University and Singapore Government Relations 1953-1968" mainly talks about the founding of Nanyang University. At that time, Nanyang University positioned itself as an institute that aims to maintain and promote Chinese language and culture. Being in post-war Singapore and under a United Kingdom and the United States dominated cold war world, Nanyang university was bound to face friction from the "mainstream" nation-building direction and transnational ideologies of that time. Therefore, the establishment and development of Nanyang University will inevitably be affected by political forces. This book details how Nanyang University overcame the pressure from the government. This article reviews the book from the aspects of literature, research orientation, analysis depth, etc. In all respects, this book is undoubtedly a must-read publication. | ||||
| 周兆呈著《语言、政治与国家化：南洋大学与新加坡政府关系1953-1968》一书的主要讲述的是南洋大学的创办。当时，南洋大学以维系与发扬华族的语言文化为自身定位。这样的一所高等学府，在战后的新加坡以及由英美主导的国际新秩序下的冷战格局中，欲贯彻其宗旨，自然要和当时的“主流”建国思想和跨国意识形态发生碰撞。所以，南大的成立与发展，势必受到政治力量的干扰。此书便详述了南大自创立以来如何一直面对来自政府的压力。本文从文献、研究取向、分析高度等方面评述了此书，并提出其中的特出之处。从各方面来看，此书无可置疑地是一本必读专著。 | ||||

| 2013 | Reflections on Singapore Elements in Singapore’s Primary School Chinese Textbook
Overseas Chinese Education, No.2, 113-123. 有关新加坡小学华文教材中新加坡元素的若干思考 | Xu Feng | Journal-Refereed | |
| Singapore’s Chinese teaching under the umbrella of bilingual education policy is different from the Chinese teaching in China. It is also distinguished from the teaching of Chinese as a second language. The noteworthy features of Singapore’s Chinese teaching could be regarded as Singapore elements. This paper attempts to explore these elements in relation to the primary Chinese textbook currently used in the country. The textbook must differentiate Singapore culture, Chinese culture and cultures in the other parts of the world and present relevant cultural content at different levels and in various ways. It is claimed that the modular approach in exiting textbook does not meet the needs of different types of learners. Singapore education authority emphasizes that Chinese has to be a living language for students to be used and valued. In this case, the way of using standard language in Chinese textbook should be reviewed to reflect the features of Chinese actually used in Singapore. This paper suggests that the integration of formal written Chinese and informal oral Chinese in textbook is the way to solve this problem. | ||||
| 新加坡双语教育政策之下的华文教学是一种既不同于中国语文教育，也不同纯粹外语学习的第二语言教学。新加坡华文教育的种种特异之处可称之为新加坡元素，本文拟就新加坡小学华文教材中的新加坡元素进行探讨。认为应处理好华族文化和本地文化及世界文化多样性的选择问题，同时注意教材中文化呈现的层级性及呈现方式；现行教材的单元教学模式尚未真正反映不同学习者类型差别的不同需求，而新加坡华文教材语言如何协调核心规范标准与学习活的语言、使用活的语言这一新教改目标需要重新思考，华文教材的语言应适当体现地域化特点。结合新加坡的实际情况，本文提出教材中应采用口语从宽和书面语从严的解决策略。 | ||||

| After the war, the Chinese schools in Singapore had to make a decision on its name and positioning. Can Singaporeans still be called overseas Chinese? Should the Chinese ancestors in Singapore, who are Chinese immigrants, accept a more local choice, and thus weaken their overseas Chinese status, and choose to use the Chinese language school as the name? The two names are essentially closely related to the identity of the Chinese in Singapore after the war. This chapter will further explain this important decision that affects history. | ||||

| In the 1950s, Singapore experienced turmoil in the Chinese schools. In response, the government established four government Chinese schools. The ambition of these schools is to allow students to continue their studies in a conducive environment. But the establishment of these schools has another important historical significance, that is to facilitate the redistribution of educational resources after the war. This article will classify and discuss the establishment of such government Chinese schools. | ||||

| "Tianren zhi xue" was a learning developed by Han dynasty scholars, founded on the belief that there is a relationship of "resonance" or ganying, between the celestial and terrestrial spheres. Specifically, the school believes that if irregular celestial movement appears in heaven or visitation and prodigy are seen in the natural world, it signifies that men (the ruling class in particular) had done something seriously wrong. That is because the improper deeds of men had upset the balance of wuxing or the five primal forces of nature, thus created these irregularities or anomalies. This is the rationale which explains the inter-relatedness or corresponding relationship between the celestial and terrestrial worlds. Such a belief essentially implies that every strange phenomenon observed in the heavenly or natural world could (and therefore also has to be) be explained by an un-approving act committed by men. The "Monographs on Five-Phases" (wuxingzhi, sometimes known as lingzhengzhi or zaiyizhi) seen in 14 of the 24 Standard Histories are a rich sources for the study of tianren zhi xue. Scholars have pointed out that such a matching correspondence between the celestial and terrestrial worlds are most apparent in the wuxingzhi of the Standard Histories composed during the times from the Han to Tang dynasties. However, the wuxingzhi in the Standard Histories composed during and after the Song dynasty have a common attribute: they would focus moe on recording irregular celestial movements and anomalies but pay less attention on explaining the human misconducts believed to have caused these abnormal phenomena to occur. Such a development seemsto indicate that from the Song dynasty onwards the tianren zhi xue began to suffer a decline, as the belief on which the learning was grounded, that there is a corresponding relationship between the celestial and terrestrial worlds, was no longer being taken seriously. This paper, however, argues that this development in fact was already evident in the wuxingzhi or lingzhengzhi and zaiyizhi of the various Standard Histories composed during the post-Han and pre-Song period, with the exception of that compiled in the time of the Eastern Jin dynasty. And in regard to this observation, it analyses the state of the "tianren zhi xue" learning in the time of Three Kingdoms through Jin and [Liu] Song dynasties. | ||||
| 汉儒有一种期以灾异警戒人主的天人之学。其以为，天人之间有一种“感应”的关系，因此自然灾异之征，必有其人事之应。历代正史中的<五行志>，实可作为我们窥探这门学术之大体的其中一种文献。自班固作《汉书》首例<五行志>以来，编纂于两晋南北朝时期，以及完成于唐、宋年间和之后的国史类著作都列有<五行志>或<灾异志>。学界目前的研究重在指出，纂成于汉、唐之间的正史中的<五行志>，似有一共同的书写模式，即对所记录的自然灾异必诠释其人事之应。然而，在宋代及其后完成的<五行志>中，则一般只单纯记录所见之自然灾害及物异之实，而不对其如何附会人事再作解读。这样的改变似乎表明从中晚唐至宋初开始，人们对天人之间的感应关系已不复有以往之信仰。本文首先指出，其实“着其灾异，而削其事应”的处理手法，早在编著于三国、晋宋年间的<五行志>中已见其端。因此，如果<五行志》中所陈的灾异纪事之变化可以作为窥探天人之学的兴衰消长的一个凭借的话，那么在汉、魏之际以降直至整个南北朝时期，天人之学受重视的程度已不复昔日之盛；其次说明，唯独在东晋时代，也就是干宝等人的活跃时期，这门穷究天人之间交感关系的学术可能曾有过一段短暂的回潮。 | ||||

| The book is a collection of essays documenting the history of Chinese migration on a global scale.The wave of globalization has had a huge impact on overseas Chinese. Traditional views and perceptions must be re-examined as to the migration, localization of the Chinese, the relationship with the country where they live or emigrate, and the exchanges with China. The 13 essays in this book re-examine these issues from a regional and global perspective, especially the challenges faced by overseas Chinese in the fields of politics, economy, language, culture, education, and religion. These papers also focus on comparing these challenges with the historical experience of overseas Chinese in order to better understand the current situation of overseas Chinese so that future prospects can be made. | ||||

| Mr. Lee Kong Chian’s educational background, economic background, and social status determined his contribution to Chinese education. His donation to Nanyang University and the aid given to non-Chinese primary school students to learn Chinese, etc., can reflect his contribution to Chinese education. These contributions were especially prominent in the post-war period during the 20th century. Such phenomenon is also the tradition of the Chinese in Southeast Asia. | ||||

| "Prospering education and running schools" is one of the main social services developed by the Hokkien community in Singapore in the past 180 years. Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan (SHHK) established the first institution under its control, Chongwen Ge in 1849. It was also the earliest private Chinese school in Singapore. Over the years, SHHK has successively established Chui Eng Free School, took over Tao Nan School and Ai Tong School, founded Chong Hock Girls’ School, Nan Chiao Girls’ High School and affiliated primary schools, and Kong Hwa School. In 1953, Mr. Tan Lark Sye, then chairman of the SHHK, suggested donating 523 acres of land in Yunnan Garden to establish Nanyang University, which laid the foundation for Nanyang Technological University, the top university in the region. The schools founded by the Hokkien community in Singapore are not limited to the ones mentioned above. This book collects information from a total of 58 Hokkien-affiliated colleges, summarizing the history of local Hokkienese running schools. | ||||
| “兴教办学”是新加坡福建社群近 180年来主力发展的社会服务之一。福建会馆于1849年成立的属下第一所学府——崇文阁， 也同时是新加坡最早的民办华教学府。多年来，会馆陆续创建了萃英书院，接办道南学校和爱同学校，创立了崇福女学校、南侨女子中学并附属小学以及光华学校。1953年，福建会馆时任主席陈六使先生建议捐献云南园523英亩的土地创办南洋大学，奠定了现今区域顶尖大学——南洋理工大学的基础。而新加坡福建社群所创办的学校其实并不止上面所提到的这几所。本书就搜集到共计58所闽属学府的资料，综述了本地福建人办学的历史。 | ||||

| In this book, Qiu Shuling focuses on the development of Nanyang University Student Union in the first eight years from its establishment to its suspension by the school in 1964. Topics such as their activities, organisational structure, philosophy were analysed. She also commented on their merits and demerits. This article reviews the contents of this book, and points out the central topic and some key contents of this book.

However, during the comparative study, this clarity was actually quite ambiguous in the interpretation of the Scriptures from the past dynasties.

| The ten papers in this book were originally published at the inaugural “International Symposium on Chinese Classics” that was jointly organized by the Department of History of Tsinghua University in Beijing and the Department of Chinese Studies at the National University of Singapore on 5th to 6th November 2005. This book compiled the papers written by overseas scholars, exploring the study of Confucian classics from multiple perspectives. Therefore, the papers in this book have one thing in common, that is, they all belong to the second order of research. In other words, what the author analyzed is basically the study of the scriptures by scholars of the past generations, not the study of the scriptures themselves. Based on these comparisons, the essays in this book can reflect the characteristics of scholars' research on ancient classics in the 21st century. | ||||

| The Singaporean government announced on January 16, 1982 that, starting from the 1984 school year, it will implement a policy of allowing students to take a compulsory "Religion Knowledge" course during their Secondary Three and Secondary Four years as a part of the moral education curriculum. Then, "Confucianism and Ethics" was added as an option to this course, so that students who are unwilling to take the original five religious teaching courses have one more choice. This undoubtedly provides a cultural foundation for civic education in Singapore. | ||||
| 新加坡政府于1982年1月16日宣布，从1984学年开始，落实在全国的中三、中四这两个年级中让学生修读一门必修的《宗教知识》课的政策，以之作为学校里道德教育课程的组成部分。而后，又将“儒学伦理”加入到这一个课程的选项中，供不愿选修原有的五种宗教教义课程的学生有多一个选择。这无疑为新加坡公民教育提供了一个文化的镇基之物。 | ||||

| In the 1950s, Singapore experienced turmoil in the Chinese school. In response, the government established four government Chinese schools. The ambition of these schools is to allow students to continue their studies in a conducive environment. But the establishment of these schools has another important historical significance, that is to facilitate the redistribution of educational resources after the war. This article will classify and discuss the establishment of such government Chinese schools. | ||||

| Chenwei ideologies created a form of Confucianism that divinify Chinese Classics.This ideology was based on the ancient river map, the myth in Luoshu, the theory of Yin and Yang and the five elements, and Dong Zhongshu's theory of celestial interactions. These mystified nature phenomena. It had a significant impact on the worship rituals in the Eastern Han Dynasty. There are still a number of researches on the study of Chenwei today. This chapter sorts out the current research on Chenwei and summarizes the research prospects of this ideology, hoping to play a guiding role in the research of Chenwei. | ||||
| 谶纬之学使中国两汉时期出现一种把经学神学化的儒家学说。其主要以古道的河图、洛书的神话、阴阳五行说、以及董仲舒的天人感应说为理据，将自然界的偶然现象神秘化。其对东汉以及后国家祭祀的确立有着明显的影响。今日仍进行着谶纬之学的研究。本章节便针对目前谶纬之学研究的状况进行了整理并总结出此一学说的研究展望，盼得以对谶纬之学研究起到指导作用。 | ||||

The speech of "Du Yu and "Capture Female Kylin in Hunting West " is based on one of the historical allusions "Capture Female Kylin in Hunting West"(“Xishou Huolin”) in "Spring and Autumn". According to legend, Confucius ended up with this historical allusion and stopped writing "The Spring and Autumn". Therefore, although the record of this incident in "Spring and Autumn" is very brief, there is still much room for interpretation. This keynote further dissects Du Yu's analysis and discusses the views of the academic community on this record. | ||||

| Since Singapore’s independent in 1965, it has established a policy of bilingual education. At that time, the Singapore government allowed the coexistence of English schools and mother tongue schools of all ethnic groups, and offered mother tongue classes in English schools and English classes in Mother Tongue schools. In the early days of Singapore’s independence, Singapore’s bilingual policy were affected by speeches and campaigns organised by the government.

| From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China, the study of Chinese Classics had a historiographical development trend, and the academic circles have already understood this. One manifestation of the historiographicalization of Chinese classics is the restoration of classics issues in history. Qian Muke is said to be a representative of this aspect. Qian's writings are vast, covering various aspects of Chinese Classics. Although his works involving the category of Chinese classics do not occupy much weight in his overall treatise, he wrote directly on the controversy of classics. The Chronicle of Liu Xiangxin and His Son, published in 1930, has caused great repercussions and far-reaching influence. Although Qian Mu has made unique achievements in the study of Chinese classics, he is still generally regarded as a famous historian. Although The foundation of Qian's research lies in history, his study of Chinese classics has broken grounds and created his own distinguishing features. | ||||
| 从清末到民初,经学研究有史学化的发展趋向,学界对此已多有认识.经学史学化的一个表现,便是把经学问题作史的还原.钱穆可说是这一方面的代表.钱氏著述丰富,所论涵盖经、史、子、集诸部.他涉及经学范畴的作品虽然在其总体论著之中所占分量并不太重,但他直接针对经学问题的争议所作的文章,即发表于1930年的<刘向歆父子年谱>,却曾引起重大的回响与深远的影响.钱穆虽然在经学与子学(<先秦诸子系年>)方面特有建树,但一般仍以他为史学名家.钱氏学问的根基既在史学,其经学研究乃有"以史治经"或"以史实破经说"的特色. | ||||

| Chenwei (Divination combined with mystical Confucianist belief) – a kind of political prophecy, is a popular school of thought during the Qin and Han dynasties. Rather than being considered as a classical ideology, it uses theology to analyse Confucian classics. This school of thought collided with the study of classics during the Qing dynasty and influenced the research of scholars then. The analysis of Chenwei by the Qing scholars formed the Chenwei ideology. This chapter will further explore the Chenwei ideology, which opposes to and integrates with the study of Confucian classics, and thus revealing the culture of Qing dynasty. | ||||
| 谶纬是秦汉代重要的社会思潮。谶纬之学是一种对政治的预言，其相对于经学，以神学附会，并以此解析儒家经书。这一思想与清代经学碰撞，影响了清代学者的研究。因此，清代学者对谶纬之学的解析，便形成了清代的谶纬观。本章节将进一步探讨这一个与经学相对又融合的谶纬观，并从而揭示清代文化。 | ||||

| In 2004, the Ministry of Education's statistics on the commonly used language of Chinese primary one families showed that in the future, Chinese families will experience a language shift from Chinese to English. In February of the same year, the Ministry of Education established the "Chinese Language Teaching Reform Committee" and presented the "White Paper on Chinese Language Teaching Reform" in November of the same year, emphasizing that the bilingual policy is the cornerstone of Singapore's education system. At the same time, it also emphasizes maintaining students' interest in learning Chinese and making Chinese their life language. This chapter will analyze and summarize a series of bilingual education reforms after the presentation of the 2004 white paper. | ||||

| The Yiwei are component of the corpus of literature called chenwei, or weishu, which originated in Han Dynasty China (206 B.C.–220 A.D.) and have generally been referred to as the “Apocryphal” or “apocrypha and prognostication writings” in Western sinological works. This dissertation suggests that the chenwei be rendered as the “auxiliary texts of the Confucian classics.” The Yiwei therefore are the “Auxiliary Texts of the Book of Changes,” a set of writings meant to complement the Yijing. This dissertation accounts on the transmission of the Yiwei and outlines their major contents. Its focus of analysis, however, is on a particular concern of the writings: the attempt to correlate the Yijing with the calendar. The endeavor to establish symbolic correlation between the Yijing and the calendar is mainly accomplished by the creation of certain models of correlative scheme that delineate the supposed correspondences between the components of the Yijing and the units of the calendar. Much of these correlative schemes embodied in the Yiwei have been recognized as closely related with the teachings of two prominent Yijing masters active during the mid-Former Han, Meng Xi and Jing Fang. Hence, it is generally believed that the Yiwei were mainly composed by the followers of the two masters and were sources exemplifying this particular school of Yijing learning. This study, however, attempts to identify within the passages of Yiwei certain ideas or concepts which possibly originated before the time of Meng Xi and Jing Fang. It argues that these ideas represented the thought of early Han Yijing scholars and were a reflection of their effort of responding to the major intellectual currents of their time. This dissertation, therefore, proposes that one should not be bounded by the tradition of seeing the Yiwei as primarily derived from the teachings of Meng Xi and Jing Fang, but should see it instead as a repository of the concepts or ideas evolved within Yijing studies through the span of time ranging from the post-Yizhuan (Appendices of the Book of Changes) to the mid-Former Han. | ||||
| 易纬是“ 谶纬”或“ 纬书”的组成部分。其起源于中国汉代（公元前206年至公元220年）。在西方汉学作品中，易纬常被称为“伪经”或“伪经和预后著作” 。本文提出将谶纬翻译为“儒家经典的辅助文本”。因此，《易纬》便可被视为《易经》的辅助著作，旨在补充《易经》。本文对易纬的传播进行了论述，并概述了其主要内容。但是，本文的分析主要关注的问题是试图将《易经》与日历联系起来。本文通过创建方案模式来建立《易经》和日历之间的符号相关性。这些模式描述了《易经》的组成部分与日历单位之间的假定对应关系。《易纬》中体现的许多这些相关方案已被认为与两位活跃于汉代初期和中期的易经大师，孟喜和京房的教义密切相关。因此，人们普遍认为易纬主要是由两位大师的追随者组成的，也因此主要起源于该《易经》的学习流派。然而，本研究试图在《易纬》的段落中找出某些起源于孟喜和京房之前的思想或观念。笔者认为，这些思想代表了汉初起《易经》学者的思想，反映了他们为响应当时主要思想流派所做的努力。因此，本论文提出，应突破《易纬》主要源于孟熙和景芳的研究视的束缚，将其视为通过《易经》研究演变而来的概念或思想的结晶。 | ||||

Guided by the theoretical framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and utilizing methods developed by Michael Halliday, it provides a close analysis of the article, which puts forth and ascertain the discursive strategies deployed in the Bulan Bahasa to achieve its aims and the ideologies that underpin those strategies. In addition, certain patterns linked to the type, extent and impact of the different agentive roles attributed to the people, government and language are also unveiled. In analyzing the article, the ideational meaning is described using Halliday’s (1994) Transitivity System.

| In Singapore’s bilingual policy, English is intended to serve as the language of administration, commerce and technology while the Mother Tongue Languages (Malay, Mandarin & Tamil) are linked with one’s ethnic identity. With English being increasingly used in Malay homes, the Bulan Bahasa (Malay Language month/campaign) plays an even more important role in ensuring that “users of the Malay language are heirs of the rich Malay language, and can ensure the continuity of the language through continuous usage”. This research aims to ascertain the discursive strategies deployed by the government via the Bulan Bahasa to achieve its aims and the ideologies that underpin those strategies. The Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework is applied to examine the speeches given by the campaign’s chairperson and Guest-of-Honour at the opening ceremony of the Malay Language Month and the visual resources deployed for the campaign. In analyzing the speeches, the ideational meaning is described using Halliday’s (1994) Transitivity System whereas the mood and modality analysis will be utilized to articulate the interpersonal meaning of the text. In addition, Kress and Van Leeuwen’s (1994) Grammar of Visual Design is applied to link the visual with the linguistic analysis by examining the processes, participants and circumstantial information (ideational meaning) as well as the type of shot, perspective and relationship (interpersonal) meaning that can be drawn from the visual campaign resources. Findings in the research show the dominance of the Government in the material, mental and verbal processes as compared to the Community who are rather inactive, non-thinking and muted. In addition, a hybrid identity constructed in the use of pronoun “Kita” (We) was strategically deployed within the campaign discourse to serve a dual purpose of instructing as well as coaxing its readers. Findings from this microanalysis is then mapped onto the larger sociopolitical, economic, educational and sociocultural context of Singapore, which then forms the macro analysis of this study. | ||||
| Merujuk kepada dasar dwibahasa di Singapura, Bahasa Inggeris berfungsi sebagai bahasa pentadbiran, perdagangan dan teknologi sementara Bahasa Ibunda (Melayu, Mandarin dan Tamil) berfungsi sebagai bahasa identiti masyarakat penuturnya. Apabila penggunaan Bahasa Inggeris semakin meningkat di kalangan masyarakat Melayu, Bulan Bahasa mula memainkan peranan yang lebih penting untuk memastikan “pengguna-pengguna Bahasa Melayu menjadi pewaris bahasa yang kaya dan menentukan kesinambugan bahasa dengan penggunaan yang berterusan”. Penyelidikan ini bertujuan untuk memastikan strategi diskursif yang diguna pemerintah melalui Bulan Bahasa untuk mencapai ketujuan dan ideologi yang menyokong strategi tersebut. Kajian Analisis Wacana Kritis digunakan untuk memeriksa ucapan-ucapan yang dibuat oleh ketua pengerusi dan tetamu kehormat semasa majlis perasmian Bulan Bahasa Melayu dan sumber visual yang dikerahkan bagi kempen tersebut. Semasa menganalisis ucapan-ucapan, makna ideologi digambarkan dengan menggunakan Transitiviti Sistem daripada Halliday (1994); analisis mood dan modaliti akan digunakan untuk mengartikulasi makna interpersonal teks. Selain itu, Tatabahasa Reka Bentuk Visual (1994) daripada Kress dan Leeuwen digunakan untuk menghubungi visual dan analisis linguistik dengan memeriksa proses, peserta-peserta dan informasi bersahaja begitu juga dengan jenis gambar, perspektif dan makna hubungan yang dapat diambil daripada sumber kempen visual. Penemuan daripada penyelidikan menunjuk penguasaan pemerintah dalam proses-proses bahan, mental dan lisan apabila dibanding dengan masyarakat yang tidak aktif, tidak berfikir dan senyap. Selain itu, identiti hibrid yang dibina dalam kata ganti “Kita” telah digunakan dengan strategi dalam kempen untuk melayani dua tujuan; mengarah dan memujuk pembaca-pembaca. Penemuan daripada analisis mikro ini dipetakan ke konteks sosiopolitik, ekonomi, pendidikan dan sosiobudaya Singapura yang lebih besar, yang membentukkan analisis makro pengajian ini. | ||||

| Singapore celebrated its’ 50th year of independence last year. Since independence, Singapore has been practicing a system of bilingualism which plays a specific role with regards to the four Official Languages, namely, English Language, Malay Language, Mandarin and Tamil. Malay Language as the Official Language as well as the National Language plays a vital role as the medium to preserve Malay culture and national identity. In 2015, ASEAN, will formally establish the ASEAN Community with business opportunities as much as US$2.6 trillion for the 622 million people and thus, ensuring that the economy becomes the third largest in Asia and the seventh largest in the world. Through the establishment of the ASEAN Community and the ASEAN Community Vision 2025: Forging Ahead Together, population integration becomes the key focus in the region’s development. This paper aims to review Singapore’s experience in the planning of Malay Language for the past 50 years and evaluate how this experience can benefit the ASEAN Community and head towards the vision for ASEAN 2025: Forging Ahead Together. | ||||
| Singapura pada tahun lalu menyambut SG50 – sambutan 50 tahun kemerdekaannya yang diraih pada tanggal 9hb Ogos 1965. Semenjak kemerdekaan, Singapura telah mengamalkan sistem dwi-bahasa yang memberi peranan tertentu kepada empat Bahasa Rasminya, iaitu Bahasa Inggeris, Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Cina dan Bahasa Tamil. Bahasa Melayu sebagai Bahasa Rasmi dan juga Bahasa Kebangsaan memainkan peranan penting sebagai Bahasa pengekalan budaya Melayu dan identiti negara Singapura. Pada tahun 2015, ASEAN sebagai sebuah entiti serantau secara rasmi menubuhkan Komuniti ASEAN dengan peluang perniagaan pasaran sebanyak US$2.6 trilion di kalangan penduduk seramai 622 juta orang dan sekaligus menjadi ekonomi ketiga terbesar di Asia dan yang ketujuh di dunia. Melalui penubuhan Komuniti ASEAN dan dalam menuju visi ASEAN 2025: Maju Bersama, integrasi penduduk menjadi satu fokus penting dalam pembangunan rantau ini. Kertas kerja ini akan meninjau pengalaman Singapura dalam perancangan Bahasa Melayu selama 50 tahun dan menilai bagaimana pengalaman ini dapat dimanfaatkan dalam Komuniti ASEAN dan menuju visi ASEAN 2025: Maju Bersama. | ||||

| Using translanguaging as a theoretical foundation, this paper analyses findings from a Grade 2 reading class for low achieving students, where Malay was used as a scaffold to teach English. The data comes from one class in one school in Singapore and its Learning Support Programme (LSP), which is part of a larger research project on biliteracy. The LSP is an early intervention reading programme in English for students in lower primary school. Our key finding is that the broad goal of translanguaging in teacher talk was to mediate academic content. Specifically, the purposes for translanguaging in teacher talk were to aid comprehension (in 41% of switches) and translate vocabulary (in 39% of switches). The use of Malay changed interactional patterns by closing the gap in talktime between teacher and students: though the ratio of talktime between teacher and students on Day 1 was 76%:20%, this became a more democratic 47%:49% on Day 8. Finally, the scaffold of Malay changed the way the students attempted to answer questions. | ||||
| Menggunakan translanguaging sebagai asas teori, kertas kajian ini menganalis dapatan dari kelas membaca darjah 2 di kalangan pelajar yang pencapaiannya lemah. Di dalam kelas ini, pengajaran Bahasa Inggeris menggunakan elemen Bahasa Melayu sebagai perancah untuk mereka yang mengambil BM sebaga Bahasa Ibunda. Data didapati dari sebuah kelas yang menjalankan Program Sokongan Pembelajaran atau Learning Support Program (LSP) di sebuah sekolah rendah. LSP merupakan program intervensi bacaan Bahasa Inggeris di peringkat sekolah rendah bawah. Dapatan utama kami membuktikan bahawa objektif umum translanguaging dalam ucapan guru adalah sebagai perancah dalam pencapaian pengisian akademik. Khususnya, ucapan guru dalam translanguaging dapat menolong pemahaman pelajar dan meningkatkan kosa kata mereka. Penggunaan Bahasa Melayu juga merubah pattern interaksi pelajar. Masa bertutur antara pelajar dan guru semakin sama rata melalui penggunaan translanguaging. Akhirnya, penggunaan perancah ini tlah merubah cara pelajar menjawab soalan yang diajukan guru. | ||||

| In Yang Terukir, a Malay Language coffee table book celebrates the 50 years of Singapore’s Independence. The Malay language has played a very important role in the lives of not only the Malay community in Singapore but also the Singaporean community at large. In the early years of Singapore’s independence, Malay was the language of unity and also the nation as well as one of the four official languages. Now, besides maintaining the last two mentioned status, Malay is a language used as a cultural ballast in an English-knowing bilingual system. It shares this role with the Chinese and Tamil language. This paper will look at the Malay language planning with emphasis on language in education planning. It will highlight the development in this area and look at how the language has benefitted from the bilingual system of education. | ||||
| Sejarah Perkembangan Perancangan Bahasa Melayu dalam Pendidikan: Kejayaan & Cabaran Bahasa Melayu telah lama memainkan peranan penting dalam kehidupan masyarakat Melayu di Singapura secara khusus dan masyarakat majmuk Singapura secara umum.

| Muslim Education in the 21st Century reinvestigates the current state of affairs in Muslim education in Asia whilst at the same time paying special attention to Muslim schools’ perception of educational changes and the reasons for such changes. It highlights and explores the important question of whether the Muslim school has been reinventing itself in the field of pedagogy and curriculum to meet the challenges of the 21st century education. It interrogates the schools whose curriculum content carry mostly the subject of religion and Islam as its school culture. Typologically, these include state-owned or privately-run madrasah or dayah in Aceh, Indonesia; pondok, traditional Muslim schools largely prevalent in the East Malaysian states and Indonesia; pesantren, Muslim boarding schools commonly found in Indonesia; imam-khatip schools in Turkey, and other variations in Asia. Contributed by a host of international experts, Muslim Education in the 21st Century focuses on how Muslim educators strive to deal with the educational contingencies of their times and on Muslim schools’ perception of educational changes and reasons for such changes. It will be of great interest to anyone interested in Asian and Muslim education. | ||||

Buku ini mengkaji sekolah agama yang mempunyai subjek agama dalam kurikulum dan menjadikan Islam sebagai budaya sekolah. Secara tipologi, sekolah yang dikaji termasuk madrasah tajaan nasional dan swasta, dayah di Aceh, Indonesia; pondok yang kebanyakannya terdapat di kawasan timur Malaysia dan Indonesia; pesantren, sekolah berasrama yang kebanyakannya terdapat di Indonesia; sekolah imam-khatip di Turkey, dan variasi sekolah agama yang lain. Disumbang oleh pakar-pakar antarabangsa, buku ini memberi fokus pada cara bagaimana para pendidik berhadapan dengan cabaran dan persepsi sekolah terhadap perubahan pendidikan dan faktor-faktor perubahan tersebut. Buku ini sangat berguna kepada sesiapa sahaja yang berminat pada pendidikan Islam dan pendidikan di Asia. | ||||

| Singapore’s bilingual policy has been dubbed an English-knowing bilingual system, in which English is the main language followed by a choice of any one of the three mother tongue languages: Mandarin, Malay, or Tamil. Among the three mother tongue languages, there is a perception that the language policy is Mandarin-inspired, especially given the opening up of China and the growing economic importance of learning Mandarin. There is also a worry among Malay speakers that inspite of its status as the national language and one of the four official languages, Malay has seen its role within Singapore diminish from that of a language of unity and wider communication to a language of cultural repository, which is largely symbolic in nature. This will in turn affect its stated role as a “cultural ballast” in Singapore’s bilingual framework. Thus, there is a need for academic research that would detail these concerns, both perceived and real, among the Malay language community against a background of language shift and changing attitudes toward the language as a result of the bilingual policy and to analyze the impact of the English-knowing and Mandarin-led bilingual system. This research will list selected educational review reports and relate it to its impact on Malay language planning and offer a response in terms of pedagogical approaches required to address the changing demographics and language shift among Malay learners. Besides addressing these issues, this research attempts to audit the Malay language planning in terms of its status, corpus and acquisition planning using Cooper’s (1989) theoretical framework and accounting scheme. By doing so the researcher aims to highlight the positives and negatives of the bilingual policy on Malay language planning in Singapore. | ||||
| Dasar dwi-bahasa Singapura dikenali juga sebagai sistem yang berpaksikan Bahasa Inggeris, yang mana Bahasa Inggeris menjadi bahasa utama dalam setiap domain penggunaan diikuti Bahasa Ibunda yang lain, aiitu Mandari, Melayu dan Tamil. Di kalangan ketiga-tiga Bahasa ibunda itu pula, terdapat persepsi bahawa perancangan bahasanya berpaksikan Mandarin, Ini berlaku kerana kebangkita China sebagai kuasa besar ekonomi dan kepentingan Mandarin di seluruh dunia.Terdapat juga keprihatinan di kalangan penutur Bahasa Melayu bahawa walaupun Bahasa tersebut berstatus Bahasa Kebangsaan dan satu daripada empat Bahasa Rasmi, kepentingannya dalam konteks Singapura semakin mengecil. Pada mulanya ia berfungsi sebagai Bahasa kesatuan dan Bahasa luas penggunaan, tetapi kini ia berfungsi sebagai Bahasa pendinding budaya yang lebih bersifat simbolik. Pengecilan ini lama-kelamaan akan menjejas fungsinya sebagai repositori budaya dalam kerangka dwi-bahasa Singapura. Maka terdapat keperluan untuk menjalankan kajian akademik yang meneliti kegusaran ini, sama ada yang diamati ataupun yang sebenarnya berlaku, di kalangan masyarakat Melayu di sebalik perubahan lanskap penggunaan Bahasa yang disebabkan oleh sistem dwi-bahasa yang berpaksikan Bahasa Inggeris dan dipimpin Bahasa Mandarin. Kajian ini akan menyenaraikan beberapa laporan semakan pendidikan dan kaitkannya dengan impak terhadap Bahasa Melayu. Impak ini berkait dengan perubahan kepada program serta pengajaran dan pembelajaran Bahasa Melayu. Selain daripada itu, kajian ini mengaudit perancangan Bahasa Melayu dengan menggunakan kerangka Cooper (1989). Pengkaji berharap untuk mengentenghakan aspek positif serta negative, jika ada, dasar dwi-bahasa terhadap perancangan Bahasa Melayu di Singapura. | ||||

Besides addressing these issues, this research attempts to audit the Malay language planning in terms of its status, corpus and acquisition planning using Cooper’s (1989) theoretical framework and accounting scheme. By doing so the researcher aims to highlight the positives and negatives of the bilingual policy on Malay language planning in Singapore. | ||||
| Dasar dwi-bahasa Singapura dikenali juga sebagai sistem yang berpaksikan Bahasa Inggeris, yang mana Bahasa Inggeris menjadi bahasa utama dalam setiap domain penggunaan diikuti Bahasa Ibunda yang lain, aiitu Mandari, Melayu dan Tamil. Di kalangan ketiga-tiga Bahasa ibunda itu pula, terdapat persepsi bahawa perancangan bahasanya berpaksikan Mandarin, Ini berlaku kerana kebangkita China sebagai kuasa besar ekonomi dan kepentingan Mandarin di seluruh dunia.Terdapat juga keprihatinan di kalangan penutur Bahasa Melayu bahawa walaupun Bahasa tersebut berstatus Bahasa Kebangsaan dan satu daripada empat Bahasa Rasmi, kepentingannya dalam konteks Singapura semakin mengecil. Pada mulanya ia berfungsi sebagai Bahasa kesatuan dan Bahasa luas penggunaan, tetapi kini ia berfungsi sebagai Bahasa pendinding budaya yang lebih bersifat simbolik. Pengecilan ini lama-kelamaan akan menjejas fungsinya sebagai repositori budaya dalam kerangka dwi-bahasa Singapura. Maka terdapat keperluan untuk menjalankan kajian akademik yang meneliti kegusaran ini, sama ada yang diamati ataupun yang sebenarnya berlaku, di kalangan masyarakat Melayu di sebalik perubahan lanskap penggunaan Bahasa yang disebabkan oleh sistem dwi-bahasa yang berpaksikan Bahasa Inggeris dan dipimpin Bahasa Mandarin. Kajian ini akan menyenaraikan beberapa laporan semakan pendidikan dan kaitkannya dengan impak terhadap Bahasa Melayu. Impak ini berkait dengan perubahan kepada program serta pengajaran dan pembelajaran Bahasa Melayu. Selain daripada itu, kajian ini mengaudit perancangan Bahasa Melayu dengan menggunakan kerangka Cooper (1989). Pengkaji berharap untuk mengentenghakan aspek positif serta negative, jika ada, dasar dwi-bahasa terhadap perancangan Bahasa Melayu di Singapura. | ||||

| The bilingual policy has been in place in Singapore since 1956 based on the All-Party Report. Since the implementation of the policy, the teaching and learning of Malay Language has encountered many changes taking into account the changing demographics of its users. The teaching and learning had to be made ‘easier’ and up-to-date. This paper will look into the changes which resulted from the implementation of the bilingual policy in the three education phases – survival-driven phase (1965 – 1978), efficiency-driven phase (1979 – 1991) and ability-driven phase (1992 till present). Lastly, this paper will make suggestions on the teaching and learning of Malay Language in the English-knowing bilingual system and towards 21st century competencies. | ||||
| Dasar dwi-bahasa di Singapura telah dilaksanakan semenjak tahun 1956 berdasarkan saranan All-Party Report yang diterima oleh pemerintah pada tahun yang sama. Semenjak perlaksanaan dasar tersebut, pengajaran dan pembelajaran bahasa Melayu melalui pelbagai perubahan untuk memudahkan pengajaran dan pembelajarannya mengikut keadaan semasa. Kertas kerja ini akan menyingkap perubahan-perubahan ini berdasarkan ketiga-tiga fasa pendidikan – fasa berteraskan penakatan (1965-1978), fasa berteraskan kecekapan (1979-1991) dan fasa berteraskan kebolehan (1992 hingga kini). Akhir sekali, kertas kerja ini akan membuat beberapa saranan pengajaran dan pembelajaran bahasa Melayu dalam kerangka sistem dwi-bahasa yang berlandaskan bahasa Inggeris menuju ke arah kemahiran yang diperlukan dalam abad ke-21. | ||||

Proses Menstandarkan atau Keseragaman: Mencari Suatu Panduan untuk Sebutan Baku Melayu Singapura | Mohamed Aidil Subhan Bin Mohamed Sulor | Conference Presentations (with publication) | |
| The standardization of spoken Malay has been mentioned in the corpus planning of Malay Language since 1956 with regards to the determination of the standard spoken form or "sebutan baku". Previous years has seen the Johor-Riau spoken variation as the standard based on the fact that the Johor-Riau area was the centre of Malay language and development then. In 1956, the 3rd Malay Language & Literary Congress passed a resolution determining that the Johor-Riau spoken variation should cease to be regarded as the standard. More than 30 years passed before the Malaysian government formally announced their shift from the standard Johor-Riau spoken variation to sebutan baku, which was to be used by educators and the mass media. In 1993, Singapore’s Ministry of Education launched its standard spoken Malay Language program, Program Sebutan Baku Bahasa Melayu, which was based on the Malaysian model. In the year 2000, the Malaysian government retracted its support for sebutan baku and returned to using the Johor-Riau spoken variation. In spite of this development, Singapore still maintains its support for sebutan baku till today. This paper will track the historical development of Malay Language corpus planning with emphasis on the spoken variation in Malaysia and its impact on Singapore. This paper will also suggest some steps that can be considered by the Singapore authorities in this respect taking into account 21st century skills in the ever-changing educational landscape. | ||||
| Proses menstandardkan bahasa Melayu lisan telah diutarakan dalam perancangan korpus bahasa Melayu semenjak tahun 1956 mengenai isu sebutan standard atau sebutan baku. Loghat Johor-Riau telah digunakan sebagai standard pada tahun-tahun awal atas sebab kawasan Johor-Riau yang merupakan pusat bahasa Melayu dan pembangunan dahulu. Kongres Bahasa dan Persuratan Melayu se-Malaya ke 3 pada tahun 1956 telah merumuskan bahawa loghat Johor-Riau tidak lagi sesuai sebagai standard. Selepas lebih dari 30 tahun, pemerintah Malaysia membuat anjakan dari sebutan standard mengikut loghat Johor-Riau kepada sebutan baku yang mereka ingin pendidik dan media massa gunakan. Pada tahun 1993, Kementerian Pendidikan Singapura telah melancarkan Program Sebutan Baku Bahasa Melayu yang menggunakan Malaysia sebagai modelnya. Pada tahun 2000, pemerintah Malaysia menarik semula sokongan terhadap sebutan baku dan kembali pada loghat Johor-Riau sebagai standard. Walaupun terdapat perubahan tersebut di Malaysia, Singapura tetap mengekalkan penggunaan sebutan baku sehingga dewasa kini. Kertas ini bertujuan untuk menyingkap sejarah pembinaan korpus bahasa Melayu dengan membuat penelitian pada impak variasi lisan bahasa Melayu di Malaysia terhadap Singapura. Kertas ini juga akan membuat saranan-saranan tentang langkah-langkah yang boleh diambil oleh pemerintah Singapura untuk menerapkan kemahiran abad ke-21 dalam dunia pendidikan yang kerap berubah. | ||||

| This paper highlights Kitab Jawi (Jawi scriptures) as an important instrument of religious-cultural thoughts, in particular religious conservatism and cultural reproduction, which was disseminated to various parts of the Malay Archipelago via the transnational migration of the ulama (religious scholars) and penadah (active students) from Aceh to southern Thailand to Mecca in the pre— Independence era. In the context of this paper, kitab Jawi’s extensive role as a curriculum substance of the madrasahs and religious classes in Singapore, primarily, and pondoks, pesantrens in various parts of the region will be discussed. | ||||

Dalam konteks kertas ini, peranan meluas Kitab Jawi sebagai penyedia isi kandungan kurikulum madrasah dan kelas-kelas agama di Singapura, juga pondok serta pesantren di daerah ini turut dibincangkan. | ||||

| The issue of curriculum content of madrasahs in Singapore has been receiving public and national leaders’ attention since the 1980s as a result of their less than satisfactory academic performance compared to that of national schools in the annual national examinations. There has been a growing concern over the madrasah’s peripheral position in the overall scheme of national development and economic progress. An investigation of the tradition of curriculum inquiry forms the major focus of this chapter. The discussion looks at the madrasah curriculum at both philosophical and operational levels and the multifarious challenges the institution faced while ensuring its relevance in the ever-changing educational landscape of Singapore. | ||||

| It is only possible to elucidate, explain and offer new perspectives on a language planning activity if planners and policy-makers have a reasonable understanding of the main issues and concerns of the language community for whom the language is being planned for as well as an understanding of the concept of language ecology (Kaplan & Baldauf, 1997; Haugen, 1972/2001), its present relationship to language planning and their relationship historically. By language ecology, we simply mean the interaction of a language with its environment. There is a need for academic research that details the concerns, both perceived and real, of the Malay language community against a background of language shift and changing attitude towards the language, and the current language ecology and to contextualise these against the policy and planning initiatives of the state. This paper hopes to document: 1) The history of the policy and planning of the Malay language in education since 1956; 2) The present language ecology of the Malay language in Singapore; and 3) The contemporary issues and concerns of the main stakeholders with regards to the planning of Malay language in education. | ||||
| Perspektif baharu dalam perancangan Bahasa di Singapura hanya boleh didapati jika kita dapat meninjau kembali dan meneliti apa yang telah berlaku semenjak Singapura merdeka.

Ekologi Bahasa merujuk kepada interaksi Bahasa tersebut dengan persekitarannya. Maka terdapat keperluan untuk menjalankan kajian akademik yang meneliti kegusaran, sama ada yang diamati ataupun yang sebenarnya berlaku, di kalangan masyarakat Melayu di sebalik perubahan lanskap penggunaan Bahasa yang disebabkan oleh sistem dwi-bahasa yang berpaksikan Bahasa Inggeris dan dipimpin Bahasa Mandarin, dan melihatnya dalam konteks inisiatif dasar dan perancangan Bahasa pihak pemerintah. Kertas ini bertujuan untuk mengdokumentasikan 1) sejarah dasar dan perancangan Bahasa Melayu dalam pendidikan semenjak 1956; 2) ekologi Bahasa terkini Bahasa Melayu di Singapura; dan 3) isu-isu kontemporari dan permasalahan yang wujud di kalangan pihak-pihak berkepentingan terhadap perancangan Bahasa Melayu dalam pendidikan. | ||||

(Eds.), International Handbook of Urban Education (pp. 321-342). Netherlands: Springer. Madrasah dan Pendidikan Muslim: Isu antara muka dengan urbanisasi | Sa’eda Buang | Book Chapters | |
| Madrasah, a Muslim religious school, and pesantren, loosely defined as a Muslim boarding school, are amongst the many Muslim educational institutions that still exist today amidst the tides of challenges brought about by urbanization. In contrast, pondok, another informal religious boarding school, and Imam-Khatib (Teacher-Student) schools in Turkey, are experiencing a near demise (Hasan Langgulung & Che Noraini Hashim, 2005) or political obliteration (Soon-Yong Pak, 2004), respectively. Such differing positioning of Muslim educational institutions has been attributed to the interface with and impact of urbanization, amongst other key socio-politico-economic factors. In other words, urbanization has been perceived as a contributing factor to the decline of Muslim educational institutions, including the madrasah, and Muslim education in general. Yet, arguably, urbanization has accelerated the process of madrasah’s curriculum reformation, and strengthened madrasah’s position as the focal point of Muslim individuals’ quests for their personal equilibrium. Such complex interface between madrasah and urbanization, and its seemingly imponderable ironies will be the focus of this chapter. In a nutshell, this chapter proposes to review the challenges of madrasah and Muslim education in and around the process of urbanization and its responses and strategies in mitigating the impact of the interface. These strategies, such as the Islamization of knowledge, curriculum reformation, and the promotion of Muslim education for human and social capitals, in turn, will be critically analyzed. Case studies of Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Turkey will be surveyed from its comparative socio-historical analysis rather than chronological perspective, to give an overview of the madrasah and Muslim educational system in those countries. | ||||
| Madrasah dan pesantren merupakan di antara institusi yang masih ada sehingga kini walaupun terpaksa berhadapan dengan pelbagai cabaran akibat urbanisasi. Sebagai perbandingan, pondok dan sekolah imam-khatib (guru-pelajar) di Turki kian pupus atau terhapus. Setiap kedudukan madrasah yang berbeza itu disebabkan situasinya berhadapan dengan urbanisasi dan kesan urbanisasi selain faktor-faktor sosio-politik-ekonomik. Dengan lain kata, urbanisasi telah dipandang sebagai faktor penyumbang kepada kemerosotan institusi pendidikan Islam, termasuk madrasah dan pendidikan Islam secara umum. Namun, di satu segi pula, urbanisasi telah mempercepatkan proses reformasi kurikulum madrasah, dan memperkukuh kedudukan madrasah sebagai pusat individu Muslim mencari keseimbangan peribadi. Keadaan antara muka yang kompleks antara madrasah dan urbanisasi dan pelbagai keadaan ironi menjadi fokus bab ini. Secara ringkas, bab ini meneliti pelbagai cabaran madrasah dan pendidikan Islam dalam dan di sekitar proses urbanisasi serta respons dan strategi madrasah mengurangi impak antara muka. Strategi-strategi seperti Islamisasi ilmu, reformasi kurikulum, dan promosi pendidikan Islam untuk pembinaan modal insan dan social akan dianalisis secara kritis. Kajian kes yang melibatkan Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan dan Turkey akan dibincangkan dari sudut analisis sosio-sejarah bandingan untuk mempersembahkan kajian secara menyeluruh akan madrasah dan system pendidikan Islam di negara-negara tersebut. | ||||

| This special issue of Asia Pacific Journal of Education is originally conceived in urgency to the current political and cultural situation. At the same time, it aims to move the discussions on Muslim education beyond the reactionary 9/11 responses to a more long-term, reconstructive task that invites scholars to redefine and engage in normative debates regarding the life world and futures of Muslim education – what educational forms and cultural shapes it should take and more importantly, what it may offer to cultures and nations. | ||||
