Ever feel stumped carrying out a conversation in Chinese, Malay or Tamil? Join Steven Chia as he puts his Mandarin to the test, by finding out how we can learn our Mother Tongue more effectively.
Under Singapore's education system, most of us have received 10 years of compulsory Mother Tongue education. But, are we really effectively proficient in it? In this episode of Talking Point, host Steven Chia uncovers just what it would take for our kids to be better in their Mother Tongue. Double hatting as a teaching assistant, Steve told stories to a class of 18-month-old kids as he closely observed them. Are these kids really learning and is there a need to start THIS early? Would acquiring new languages at a young age enable our kids to be more fluent?
And to find out how Mother Tongue learning can be made more fun and enjoyable, Steve even meets an 11 year old boy, who introduced him to a game he uses for his REVISION!
