5th CHINESE LANGUAGE ELECTIVE PROGRAMME CENTRE
AT DUNMAN HIGH SCHOOL |
|
The Ministry of Education will be
establishing a 5th Chinese Language Elective Programme (CLEP) Centre to
nurture the language talent of students with an aptitude for Chinese
Language. From 2008, the Dunman High School will be offering the CLEP. |
Dunman High School has indicated strong
interest and a commitment to offering the CLEP. With its rich traditions
and school ethos, Dunman High School has established a conducive
environment for the learning of the Chinese Language and culture. It is
also one of the schools offering the Bicultural Studies Programme
(Chinese). |
BACKGROUND |
The CLEP was first implemented in 1990.
Currently, there are four centres offering CLEP at the Pre-University
level, namely, Hwa Chong Institution, Nanyang Junior College, Temasek
Junior College and Jurong Junior College. |
The CLEP aims to nurture students who have
an aptitude for Chinese Language so that they can attain a higher level
of proficiency and a better understanding of Chinese Language and
Literature. It also enables academically able students to become
effectively bilingual. |
The CLEP is a two-year programme, which
includes the study of classical and modern literature (poetry, prose,
novels, and drama) and Chinese culture. |
The programme also provides a wide
range of enrichment activities to enhance students’ language
skills and appreciation of the language. These activities include
seminars, the Creative Writing Camp, publication of literary works
and overseas immersion programmes. |
Outstanding students selected for the
programme will be considered for the Chinese Language Elective
Scholarships if they are Singapore citizens or Singapore permanent
residents. |
