Research on the Effectiveness of National Language Education in Kindergartens in Yili

摘要

The National Language Education is an important part of language education in multi-ethnic areas. The study used the WPPSI language scale to test the National Language of 35 ethnic minority children in each of Kindergartens A and B. Participants in kindergarten A took 4 months to enter kindergarten, while participants in kindergarten B took 30 months. Participants in kindergartens A and B came from families with roughly the same cultural background, and both were 6 years old when tested. The test found that the scores of children in kindergarten B on the WPPSI language scale total score and the five sub-scales were significantly higher than those in kindergarten A. Therefore, it can be proved that the longer National Language Education time in kindergartens has achieved substantial results. Finally, the study puts forward some suggestions for promoting National Language learning for minority children from the perspective of kindergartens and families.
