「孔子课堂志愿者」(2019年8月22日,在经历了长达一年多的审查和评估后,澳大利亚新南威尔士州教育部在公开承认“没有任何事实证据表明孔子学院(课堂)施加政治影响”的前提下,仅出于对一些团体和个人“可能对潜在影响的看法”,就宣布终止孔子学院合作协议,不惜牺牲新州公校每年4000多名在孔子学院(课堂)支持下学习汉语的中小学生的机会和利益。在新州教育部孔子学院下设的13个中小学孔子课堂工作的18名汉语教师志愿者们闻讯后,悲愤交加,发表如下声明。请每一位有正义感的读者协助志愿者们转发扩散!请勿声明原创,以便转发!)
感谢学校对我们的关心和帮助!我们很高兴曾有机会为新州中文教学贡献微薄之力。
We are volunteer teachers at Confucius Classroom schools affiliated to NSW Department of Education. In response to the announcement by NSW Department of Education of the termination of the Confucius Institute Agreement, we have something to say:
1.During the 15-month-long review, no one came to our schools to see what we were actually doing. We want to tell you that when we support Chinese teaching here, our only concern is to have our students learn more Chinese characters and to see them learn Chinese happily. We try our best to organize different kinds of cultural activities, design classroom games and support local Chinese language teachers. We hope our students can feel the charm of Chinese and learn Chinese with fun. Even if sometimes we might feel pressure at the heavy work load, even if we found it challenging to manage students and difficulty in adapting to strange cultural environment, we would feel proud and think it worthwhile to be here when we see students smiling like angels, feel their enthusiasm in learning Chinese, watch their progressing bit by bit, even hear them greeting in Chinese “ni hao”, even just a quick hug.
2.The 13 Confucius Classrooms affiliated to NSW Department of Education are popular among local communities and welcomed by local Chinese language teachings and schools. Many teachers in Confucius Classroom Schools felt shocked to the sudden termination. Some principals nearly cried when meeting volunteer teachers, some colleagues embraced volunteer teachers after getting the news, innocent children just repeated “Miss, I don’t want you to go.” It is Confucius Classroom Program that many parents and they choose to send their children to schools with Confucius Classrooms rather private schools.
3.Although we feel helpless and pity, we promise to work even harder to support Chinese language teaching before the formal termination of the project. We cherish every chance of having student learn Chinese language and culture. We wish learning Chinese will let students have a better future and life.
4.Dream’s never sold, and blood’s never cold. We love Chinese culture, and we also love Australian multiculture. All of us are ordinary university students majoring in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. We still remember the first time standing in classroom teaching Chinese, remember the foreign student saying “You’ll be a good teacher”, and remember the song of volunteer teachers. Our dream is to support Chinese language teaching in the world and we’ll continue to work hard for it.
Many thanks for all caring and support from the schools. We feel happy for having the opportunity to make a contributing to NSW Chinese language teaching.
