Sir Martin Sorrell, the chief executive of the advertising conglomerate WPP, was at Kensington Wade, Britain’s first primary school to offer full Chinese immersion for its pupils, on a recent evening, for a reception to celebrate the Chinese mid-autumn festival.
Sir Martin offered【C21】________to the parents that the 17,000-a-year tuition they had paid for at the newly-opened school was money well【C22】________.
For those parents【C23】________to start their children early, there is Hatching Dragons, the UK’s first Chinese-English nursery. It【C24】________to "foster fluency" in both languages by age five.
"I’ve got enough【C25】________that if a child joins us at six months and stays until they are five, 50 hours a week, they will be orally fluent, " said Cennydd John, who【C26】________Hatching Dragons in 2015, after the birth of his son. "If you【C27】________him, " says Mr. John, "you can go and check his You Tube videos."
"Chinese is the【C28】________language because China is rising as a political and economic power, " said Antonella Sorace, a linguistics professor. "It’s regarded as a good【C29】________".
Kensington Wade is named【C30】________Sir Thomas Wade, a 1th century British diplomat who produced one of the first English-Chinese textbooks. Its【C31】________class of 15 students arrived last month. Three were fluent Mandarin speakers【C32】________about half knew no Chinese. Its two classrooms, in an existing academy, are【C33】________, with toys and early reading books.
On closer【C34】________, it becomes apparent that one is entirely in English and the other in Chinese. One teacher is British, and the other Chinese. The children move between them and their【C35】________ worlds during the day. The hope is that by age 11, when they graduate, they will be fluent in both.
Kensington Wade also aims to【C36】________two teaching styles. It upholds the renowned "Shanghai model" of math with the creativity and critical thinking【C37】________in a British education.
The benefits of bilingual education are alluring, 【C38】________greater cultural empathy and cognitive flexibility. Then there is the question of【C39】________children view the language as being useful.
In April, Jo Wallace, Kensington Wade’s head-teacher, visited three schools in the San Francisco area that have been offering immersive English-Chinese【C40】________, one for more than 30 years.
"I went with the worry that these little kids were going to be confused, that they’d be stressed. And all I saw was children having a lovely time, " she recalled, although she acknowledged that some parents would have to "hold their nerve" in the early days. [br] 【C32】
