Semester 1 saw our Secondary 1 and 2 students kickstarting their language-learning journey with the Conversational Chinese and Malay (CCM) Programme. An MOE-initiative launched in 2005, CCM provides learners with an elementary understanding of a third language: Mandarin-speaking students will learn Malay, and vice versa.
Slated to run till August, our students can, in this 10-week programme, look forward to learning how to read and speak in the target language through engaging activities such as role-plays and quizzes. To enhance their leaning of the language, students will also be introduced to aspects of Chinese and Malay culture—their customs, food, and festivals!
As they say, “Language is a gateway to culture”. It is our hope that through these lessons, our students will not only take away with them conversational skills in Chinese / Malay, but also a deeper appreciation for the diversity of cultures and racial harmony that we have in Singapore.
