Admittedly I haven't been active with updates on this site, owing to various commitments and projects (yes, there is life outside writing). I am back, albeit briefly, to announce that I will be moderating a bilingual panel on Chinese readership in Singapore. This is part of Read! Fest 2017's Literary Buffet series.
Event Details Date: 29 June 2017 (Thu) Time: 7.00pm–8.30pm Venue: Multi-purpose Room, Basement 1, Central Public Library Event Description 要培养一个人对语言的热诚,最佳的时期莫过于童年。从小就被教导热爱华文,并使用华文的儿童会自觉地或潜意识地将他们对语言的热爱传达给下一代。然而,新加坡的学生似乎将华文当成是一个必须通过考试的学校科目之一,而不是一项丰富人生的技能。是谁导致学生阅读华文的风气下降,而我们又能做什么来扭转这个趋势呢? There is no better time to inculcate a love for language than in childhood. Children who were taught from young to love and use the Chinese language will consciously or subconsciously pass on their love of the language to the younger generation. However, students in Singapore seem to treat the Chinese language as a school subject they need to pass rather than an enriching life skill. Who is responsible for this decline in Chinese language readership among students and what can be done to reverse this trend? Click here to register.
