各位家长您好，

为了更好地满足海外华裔学生的中文学习需求，中文学校将在2026–2027新学年正式停止使用《马立平中文》教材，全面启用《阳阳中文》教材，并对整体课程体系进行进一步优化与升级。

此次教材改革，经过学校长期调研、教师讨论及教学实践评估，目标是让学生不仅“学中文”，更能够“用中文、敢表达、愿交流”。

《阳阳中文》是专为海外K–12阶段学生设计的中文课程体系，更符合在非中文环境中成长孩子的语言学习特点。教材采用“听说领先、读写跟进”的教学理念，通过贴近日常生活的真实情境，引导学生在自然交流中学习中文，逐步建立语言运用能力与表达自信。

相比传统教材，《阳阳中文》更加注重：
• 提升学生中文听说能力和实际交流能力

• 激发学生学习兴趣，增强课堂参与感

• 循序渐进地培养识字、阅读与写作能力

• 结合线上资源与多媒体教学，方便课后复习与自主学习

• 减轻家长额外辅导压力，更适合中文环境有限的家庭

学校希望通过此次课程升级，让更多学生能够真正把中文“学得会、说得出、用得上”，在未来能够更加自信地使用中文进行沟通与表达。

为了帮助家长深入了解新教材理念、课程特色及教学安排，欢迎大家参加：

📍新课程、新老师介绍会
🗓 时间：2026年5月17日（周日）上午10:15

📍 地点：中文学校教室 W106

学校后续也将举办《阳阳中文》教材线上说明会，帮助家长更全面了解课程内容与学习支持资源。

感谢大家一直以来对中文学校的支持与信任！让我们一起为孩子们创造更适合、更有效、更有兴趣的中文学习环境。
