Currently im back for school hunting for Mia.
Its really so difficult to find a school that is up to my expectation.
Ada je yang tak kena.
At my house, we will speak in english with Mia (iam not good in english ..but hubby and me hantam sajalah)
And of coz Mia pun can speak english with us.
But once at school, majority the students and the teachers in smart chaliph are Malay.So they talk in Malay with each other.
So Mia pun dapat lah 1-2 Malay words everyday.
Last week balik dari sekolah..
Mia: "Mommy, Mia fight with hantu mommy"
Mommy: "What is hantu?mommy dont understand"
Mia : "Hantu is ghost..ghost is hantu"
See..now she say hantu already rather than ghost.
Before this.
Mia " Mommy..daddy said dont korek hidung"
Mia: "Daddy wrong..Mia correct"
Mommy : " Mia correct?
Mia : "Mia said dont pick ur nose..daddy said korek hidung"
Because i alwiz corrected her wheneva she spoke some Malay words..
I dont want she think that to speak in Malay is wrong..like the korek hidung case..
But at this stage i really want her to speak in english.
To find a full English medium school in Bangi is very difficult.Ada tuh ada, contoh like Smart reader,Qdees etc etc..But once the majority of the students and teachers are Malay..so mmg takkan jadi lah English medium tu.
Betul tak?
Lainlah kalau kat Subang..Malay student will mix with chinese and indian students.and Of coz they will talk in English with each other.
I believe apa pun yang kita buat kalau takde proper practice mmg tak jadi.
Sbb tu saya tak percaya enlish medium school kat bangi ni...memang la the teachers will teach in English, but bila dgn friends they will prefer talk in Malay.So bila nak practice cakap Enlish.
Now i thinking to enroll Mia kat Apple King in Kajang.Where the majority of the teachers and students are chinese.Jauh lah sket..
Memang takleh tdo balik lah lepas subuh.Mia pun kena bangun pagi2 pakai uniform.
Cekidout their page here http://www.appleking.com.my/
What say you mommies..penting ke tak english medium school ni.
p/s i know..about the important of islamic education too..sekolah Al Amin pun memang depan rumah saya.But they dont accept Mia yet.Tunggulah she turn to 5years old nanti.Baru i enroll her there pula.Let her learn and have fun with english first.Then lepas tu nak cakap malay pun i dont care..at least dia dah ada basic in english
eh, terbalik pulak dengan Kira..Kira speaks good Malay, mengalahkan mama & ayah dia sebab kat rumah babysitter mmg 100% malay kan? kat rumah pulak I cakap English with her so she understands every bit of it tapi masih bercakap 80% in Malay
ReplyDeletebaguslah mommy..I pun berangan² nak hantar Kira ke Q-Dees and emphasize on English medium jugak...btul u cakap, it depends on the environment, I used to teach where the language spoken among the kids there was 90% english & their english were even better than me hahahhh!
salam. u sure ke SR tu speaks in malay walaupun teachers dia malay? rasa nya they speak in english jugak kot. anak i nye SR, from the principal sampai lah the teachers semua speaks in english. even, kitorg, parents yg tekedek2 ckp english pun mmg kena speaks english bila kitorg communicate with their teachers. and kids pun sama. mcm anak i, byk ckp malay. english dlm 30% gitu. tp bila masuk SR, banyak sentence dah dia ckp in english.
ReplyDeletejust to share :)
I rasa penting la english medium school ni..diorg bleh byk blaja ngan converse in english..
ReplyDeleteDo the thing that u rasa betul..Insyaallah ok..so far i tgk ape pon pilihan u adalah yg terbaik utk u n mia..kalau x..manakan mia sebijak itu.. :)
go for real kids.
ReplyDeleteactually semunya bermula dari rumah..if u want ur kid to be fluent in english u must practice it at home..kaau dia pegi sekolah doesnt matter nak cakap malay ke ape ke..but at home..english is a must even conversation between u n ur husband..kat sekolah dia cuma habeskan masa 8 jam sahaja 5-6 days a week..selebihnya kat rumah with u guys..so tak perlu risau sebab english dah jadi mother tongue dia di rumah..kita tengok macam ni la..anak cina masuk sekolah melayu..tak hilang pon bahasa cina dia..still pandai cakap cina..sebab kat rumah dia cakap cina..so jangan susah hati ya...
ReplyDeletekak siti, ada try tanya kat tadika GMI tu tak? dia guna little caliphs nya concept.
