A Survey Investigation About Situation Of The Xinjiang Uyghur And Han Chemistry Bilingual Education

Bilingual education is such a complex and significant task of Xinjiang minority’s education.At the beginning of 2004,the Member of CPC and the People’s Government of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region have put forward the aim of promoting Xinjiang Bilingual education and the guiding thought of developing Bilingual education by "Determination of Giving Great Impetus to Bilingual education."(Xinjiang Members of CPC No.2004) The Bilingual education subject of china is not perfect yet both on theoretically side and practical side. Especially there are also shortages in lessons,teaching material,teaching and faculty of Bilingual education.Therefor, China has to do farther research and investigate besides to complete the Bilingual education system as well as to boost the development of Bilingual education.This thesis makes questionnaires to students who study in uyghur-Han bilingual middle school and draws out outlines to their bilingual chemical teachers, which are made based on analysis of domestics and overseas Bilingual education,current situation of Bilingual education,and the Bilingual teaching of chemical in Yining Xinjiang.These questionnaires and interviews are mainly point to professional abilities and language competences along with teaching activities of students and chemical teachers in uyghur.-Han bilingual school in Yining Xinjiang.This paper has found out following problems appeared in current bilingual teaching of chemical in high school.1.Students in bilingual classes don’t have solidify basic knowledge of chemical. students have lower ability to manipulate chemical experiments so they lost interests of chemical learning.2.students’ incomprehension of technical terms makes pressures to students.3.students’ Chinese are not at the same level so that some students who understand less Chinese can not follow up learning process.4.chemical teachers who have the singleness of knowledge structures or limitation of Chinese make no satisfaction to bilingual classes.5.the media and materials are unable to fully fulfill the demands of bilingual teaching in chemistry.According to the analyzing on the results of the questionnaires, five recommendsare given aiming at improving the chemical teaching situation of Uyghur-Han bilingual middle schools in Xinjiang.1.Strengthen student’s basic knowledge of chemical and experiment ability.2.The teachers explain chemistry terms in details with a combination of Uyghur and Chinese.3.Student’s should improve their Chinese expression ability of Chinese.4.Improve the training schemes of bilingual chemistry teachers including professional knowledge,teaching skills and bilingual language levels.5.Researching and development should be taken in making bilingual multimedia demonstrations and writing relevant teaching materials to fulfill current bilingual chemistry teaching.Through this research,the author hopes to provide basis for making more scientific and reasonable bilingual education policies as well as inspire the teaching research and chemical bilingual teachers to boost bilingual education.
