媒體采訪(fǎng)時(shí)間：2021年3月13日媒體采訪(fǎng)地點(diǎn)：IEIC國(guó)際教育創(chuàng)新大會(huì) · 春季峰會(huì) · 上海站 新聞媒體中心媒體采訪(fǎng)嘉賓：Adam Flower，上海閔行區(qū)協(xié)和雙語(yǔ)教科學(xué)校·EMW融合課程外方副校長(zhǎng)
▲現(xiàn)場(chǎng)媒體采訪(fǎng)
媒體記者：
First of all, please share with us your feelings at today's IEIC scene?
您在今天的IEIC現(xiàn)場(chǎng)有怎樣的感受?
Adam Flower：
It looks a very successful event. There are a number of schools represented. I've never seen so many people who seem to be interested in bilingual education. So I'm sure the event will be a fantastic success.
這是一個(gè)很成功的活動(dòng)，有許多學(xué)校的代表。我從沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)這么多人對(duì)雙語(yǔ)教育感興趣，所以，我相信這次活動(dòng)一定會(huì)非常成功。
媒體記者：
When parents plan for their children's international education, what kind of school age stage do you think is the most suitable?
家長(zhǎng)們對(duì)于孩子做國(guó)際教育方面規(guī)劃的時(shí)候，您覺(jué)得什么樣的學(xué)齡階段較為合適?
Adam Flower：
I would say that because the schools in Shanghai China are so well developed the bilingual school system, it's not necessary for parents to necessarily move their children out of China, out of schools until the age of 18. At the age of 18, the students will be responsible to choose which to have a university or which have a country they wish to study in at higher education.
In Shanghai, there are a number of excellent bilingual schools, there are also a lot of resources to support students development to help them make the transition to universities both in the United States and in the United Kingdom.
我想說(shuō)的是，由于中國(guó)上海的學(xué)校非常發(fā)達(dá)，雙語(yǔ)學(xué)校體系非常完善，在孩子18歲前，家長(zhǎng)沒(méi)有必要讓孩子出國(guó)讀書(shū)。在18歲時(shí)，學(xué)生將開(kāi)始選擇去哪所大學(xué)或哪個(gè)國(guó)家接受高等教育。在上海，有很多優(yōu)秀的雙語(yǔ)學(xué)校，也有很多資源支持學(xué)生的發(fā)展，幫助他們向英美等大學(xué)過(guò)渡。
媒體記者：
What abilities do you think students who wants to enter a British private school should have?
您認(rèn)為進(jìn)入英式私立學(xué)校所必須的能力是?
Adam Flower：
British schools expect students to be an independent thinkers to think critically to come to their own decisions and to formulate their own ideas, given that the resources and skills are available to them, that's quite important.
英式學(xué)校希望學(xué)生成為一個(gè)獨(dú)立的思考者，批判性地思考，做出自己的決定，有自己的想法，考慮到他們所擁有的資源和技能，這是非常重要的。
媒體記者：
Which ones need to be prepared in advance and which one need to be cultivated after entering school?
哪些是需要提前準(zhǔn)備的，哪些是入學(xué)后需要培養(yǎng)的?
Adam Flower：
Students need to be given a stage in which they can speak or perform. Also they need to be able to Excel on the sporting field and in music. Once they move to the UK they will certainly improve their language skills, they will get to work with students from a number of countries all over the world will be in English. So they will become a lot more internationally minded once they enter the British schools themselves.
學(xué)生們需要有一個(gè)可以說(shuō)話(huà)或表演的舞臺(tái)。此外，他們還需要能夠在運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)和音樂(lè)方面表現(xiàn)出色。一旦他們到國(guó)外求學(xué)，他們一定需要提高自己的語(yǔ)言技能，因?yàn)樗麄儗⑴c來(lái)自世界各地的學(xué)生一起在英語(yǔ)環(huán)境工作和生活。
因此，一旦他們自己進(jìn)入英國(guó)的學(xué)校，他們將變得更加具有國(guó)際意識(shí)。
