那怎么办？前几天看到有人要求联名写信抗议，有结果了么？

七点钟

支持楼主或其他人将这一行动落实到实地：


1、联络当地议员，反馈华人社区意见！

2、寻求尽可能多的网友签名，寻找更能表达华人群体意见的通道！

中文作为第一语言和第二语言对宝宝有什么区别吗？

在澳洲出生的华人孩子，可能最初接触的语言是中文，但是当他们渐渐长大，接受的是英文的教育，所以中文不太可能是他们的母语。

例如，一个中国孩子被美国家庭收养，在孩子4~5岁的时候去美国生活成长，虽然这个孩子最初的母语是中文，但是当孩子在美国受教育，长大后，他/她最初的中文会渐渐丧失，最后英文会成为母语。

在澳洲的华人家庭生活长大的孩子，和本地孩子学中文的最多不同就是家里有中文的语言环境。做为澳洲出生的华人后代，学习中文的读写也不是一件容易的事情，更不要说学习中国的历史文化了。

按照西澳教育部的新规定，是否可以推理得出：做体力工作，没有受过高等教育的父母的，他们可以在学习方面可以提供给孩子的资源是少于做脑力工作，受过高等教育的父母可以提供的，是不是那样家庭的孩子，高考中一些科目的分数可以因为这个原因有特别的加分？

还有那些在中国，接受过中文教育的孩子，当他们来到澳洲时，中文的确是他们的母语；但是别忘了，如果定义他们的第一语言是中文的同时，他们在用自己的第二语言学习并且参加高考！

5.6.2 Second language eligibility
Second language eligibility applies to the following courses:
 Chinese: Second Language
 Indonesian: Second Language
 Japanese: Second Language
Second language courses are designed for second language learners. Students wishing to enrol in the above courses must apply to the Curriculum Council to determine their eligibility.
To allow the Council to determine eligibility, schools are required to provide information about a student’s linguistic, residential and educational background. The information provided in the application is scored, using a process that scrutinises the first 10 years of the student’s life, during which a first language is typically acquired. All information will be considered in determining a student’s eligibility status. Generally, a student who scores above 20 points will be deemed as not eligible.
Eligibility forms for 2012 enrolments in Chinese/Indonesian/Japanese: Second Language courses will be sent to schools early in Term 3 for return to the Curriculum Council by 31 August 2011.
Schools can enrol students in these courses once the eligibility status has been confirmed.
By July 23, 2012, schools will receive letters containing background speaker information for Languages courses and accompanied by student application forms for second language eligibility for study of Chinese: Second Language, Indonesian: Second Language and Japanese: Second Language in 2013. The 2011 letter as an example of what can be expected and the procedure required for each of the three Language courses follows.

The eligibility form is to be completed by all students (Years 10, 11, 12) before first enrolment in the course. In cases where special permission has been granted by the Council to have Year 9 achievement in course units contribute to the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE), these students are also required to complete the form. Students who have had their eligibility status confirmed in 2010 or 2011 are not required to submit another form, unless their circumstances have changed.
Please return completed forms (arranged in alphabetical order) marked “Attention: Rita Colliander” to the Curriculum Council by Friday, 31 August 2012. Students may need to reconsider their enrolment options if found to be not eligible.
School principals will be advised of the eligibility status of students once the applications have been processed. Only those students whose applications are not successful will receive a personal reply through the school.
Guidelines for completing the application are provided with the form. A summary of the eligibility and review process is included in the Guidelines. Please direct any queries, including applications for review to Hanneke Rekelhof on 9273 6724 or via email hanneke.rekelhof@curriculum.wa.edu.au.

楼主先别着急，不知道您的孩子现在多大了，现在教委也在商讨改革的事宜，但是还没有明确定论，很有可能2014年出台中等水平，就是针对在这边出生的华人小孩的，比考第一语言的简单，但是会比考第二语言的难一些。其实，说实话，如果您的孩子打算12年级的时候中文作为第二语言考试，当然可能分数不错，但是这两年的经验看都会SCALE DOWN， 因为WA平均分太高了。例如：今年中文高考的成绩前天刚刚下来，我的一个学生笔试考了83分，口语考了100分，但是最后给他SCALE DOWN后的成绩只有78.2分。所以，选中文作为第二语言考试的真的有利有弊。
