[交流] What do you think about the Gaokao reform in Beijing?

As you may all be aware of, our policy-makers are bringing about some major changes to our National Higher Education Entrance Examination which is known as Gaokao.

In Beijing, the English section will be reduced from 150 points to 100 points, and there will be an added 30 points for Chinese.

This policy is already confirmed in Beijing, and for other provinces, there is estimated to be some follow-ups.

This is the basic context.

I hope everyone can say something about their voting.

I occupied 1st and 2nd floor. Maybe I will also share my idea with your guys later.

00waterh: 金币+8, tuqin2575' opinion is great, GAOKAO is a breakthrough point.~ 2013-10-30 20:32:23

The stress on Chinese culture can be seen from a glimpse on the Chinese Characters Spelling Convention held this summer. Our students and parents have already been aware of the necessity in English learning. Even graduated from colleges, we may spend much time and money on it for further education or promtion. Hence, people's willings to learn English will not be pressed by any reform. Comparatively, Chinese is neglected by many of us after we are enrolled in the universities, especially for those majored in natural science. They need not to read or write except reciting some equations. Their knowledges on the history and conventional culture are sometimes limited in what they learn in the preparation for GAOKAO. In contrast, many Confucius Institutes spring up overseas. Further, in another perspective, many kids and young people have been assimilated by western culture. Therefore, our citizens' ground on Chinses have to be strengthened. And GAOKAO is a breakthrough point.

I donnot know whether it will be successful, but at least one thing we can make sure that our leaders stress on our national culture which makes teenagers pay more attention to Chinese learning. That is good for the younger generations learn better our own culture.

00waterh: 金币+30, ESEPI+1, i have nothing to say about this change right now.if it success, i will say the policy-makers are right.if it fail,it will be an another bad decision. 2013-11-02 19:26:25
Alright. Maybe it's time for me to make a comment for this policy change.

I was really looking forward to seeing the change when I first read the news Call for reform of English language assessments in March this year.
Here is the link http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/epa ... ontent_16336237.htm

This piece of news pretty much left me the impression that policy-makers in China were already aware of the importance of oral English in the development of students' comprehensive language capabilities.

I thought there could be some marks taken out specifically for oral English part in the College English Test. I even misread the news "China to downgrade English section of college admissions test" when I first saw the title because I thought the reduced marks would all be attributed to oral English assessment. However, when I looked at the details of the policy change, I would say I was startled, then upset, cause there was nothing to do with oral English at all, and the whole weight of English reduced!

There is an added 30 points for Chinese which quite a few people think students will benefit from. I personally do not agree with this view. Traditional Chinese culture and Chinese literature, of course, are very important and could be an important source for students to establish their philosophy of life. But is an added 30 points strong enough to make a difference? Some people might say yes, but I would say no.

Both the public and education system operators see marks somewhat synonymous with emphasis and outcome. But people like me could only see a changed pattern of assessment, and for us the nature of assessment does not change at all. I expect that there would not be any discernible return of that marks.

On the other hand, when you give much needed marks to oral English assessment, you can almost see an immediate return on your "investment". Students begin to speak English and use English. Results improve and hope is created where once there were only complaints and criticism towards Chinese lingually-disabled students. The future benefits for the long term English assessment reform of the whole education system are incalculable. The demand for native speakers increases and thus more foreigners come to China for living, given the job loss rate is fairly high in foreign countries. China therefore functions as a balancing role and it not only benefits China.

Having seen the new policy which I don't think is clever, or even fiscally responsible, I feel upset. I'd say it's a stupid policy for me.

Hopefully China is at the height of reform under President Xi. I still see positive to the future of English assessment regulations.

P.S. I personally seek common points while reserving difference.
And I don't think it's necessary to swear, curse, or place someone in an unfavorable light just because he is holding different opinions.
Thanks.

In order to keep the pace of modernization and development in China, especially in some first-line cites, such as Shanghai、Guangzhou, you have to enhance your English level, both oral and listening capability so on so that you will not be denied in your interviews in the first round.

00waterh: 金币+8, it's quite necessary for us to change our attitude of learning Chinese, and the reform is a good point when using computer is very popular! 2013-11-03 18:57:33
As to me, English always plays an important role in my study and life. In my research field, only articles in English published can be a good news for me and my institute. And I need to read articles  in English in order to study. Besides, I can learn the writing skills from the author. However, it's very important for us to learn Chinese and Chinese culture better! For English ,we can write the word if we could say it. We can speak Chinese,but sometimes we probably couldn't write the word. So, learning English and Chinese is very different! Besides, I think we born and live in China; how can we be bad at Chinese but good at English. Therefore, it's quite necessary for us to change our attitude of learning Chinese, and the reform is a good point when using computer is very popular!

Actually if we apply the same standard to English and Chinese, our English will never be better than Chinese cause we THINK in Chinese and are living with Chinese culture for a fairly long time. No matter how good a non-English background person's English is, the local are still a cut above the person, because for the person, English is just a tool while for the local, English is everything.

I agree that Chinese culture impacts people more than great, and people should try to get a better sense of it!

Last, I wish you can publish as many English journal articles as possible! Good luck!
