中文CFM (LEVEL 1&2)某些课程经验谈国大新学期开始了,大家都开始选课了。有的要选GEM, 有的要选CFM,有的想用中文的课程来或是增长知识见闻,或是凑够学分,不论如何,诸位选择中文课程,就是对国大中文系的支持,也是对海外华文学术的支持,也是对新马华人华社的支持,愿诸位博学君子努力光大我中华文化,生生不息。
选课之时,常有疑虑,不知难易程度如何,不好轻举妄动。学徒仅从个人感官出发,结合学了8-9门中文课程的经验, 略说中文课程之难易。
中文课程,细分为二,一曰汉学,(即ch----), 一曰汉语(即cl----).多以为汉语科目较之汉学科目为易,此言不虚。
从level 1开始,计有ch1101e, cl1101e可供选择。前者为中国文学简史,后者为汉语导论。水平相当于国内初二到高三(有些可达中文系大一之水平)。总体来说都比较容易。不过因人而异。何出此言?盖授课教师不同,要求即不同,考试难易程度不同故。
ch1101e, 往往要求写期中论文,2500字左右,题目不外作品,文人之分析,要求不必有创新,有板有眼即可。又有tutorial,积极参加,积极发言,不仅可以活跃课堂气氛,更能给老师以深刻之印象,好处多。期末考试,都是问答题。题目往往是上课或者tutorial中反复强调的重点问题,往年考卷或可参考之。回答问题不求字数多,抓住要点(即笔记上的内容,或者tutorial上老师所讲的)即可。
cl1101e,是否要求期中论文,因人而异。徐杰博士 一般不要求写论文,但是说不定突发奇想也未必。期末考试问答题,全都是笔记上的东西,或“划分句子成分”,或“词组之分类”等题目,不难。
level 2的科目,常见的:ch/cl2121 中国文学史,ch/cl2141 通史, cl2202 语音学,cl2203 语法学,(别的科目我没有学过,但这四门选者最多无疑)
ch/cl2121乃是ch1101e之升级,较为精深,内容丰富。其中作文题目大概也是作家作品之分析鉴赏,循规蹈矩四平八稳即可,不必求词藻修辞。字数5000。其他同ch1101e.
CH/CL2141 通史,内容焕然一新,初听不知所云,若干课之后便习惯了。听课受益匪浅,不听很是浪费。tutorial阅读材料很多,不过稍稍读过,辅导课上就不愁没有东西说。多说有宜,少说无害,全凭自己喜好了。有期中论文,是group project(2003年如此),注意避免last minute work。题目求新不求奇,宜窄而深不宜宽而泛,方能拿到可以接受的成绩。期末考试,没说的,背熟notes,尤其是课堂上和tutorial上反复强调的,足以。答题文字从简,细节尤其要注意,比如年代/事件等。去年试卷可供参考,盖授课教师无变动故。
CL2202,CL2203,依旧都是石毓智老师的课。 认真听讲,背熟笔记,好好做期中paper,tutorial积极,足以拿到不错的成绩。听讲第一必要,精华之所在。石老师的笔记要注意,typo太多,不过期末考试题目存焉。term paper要求很基本,亦步亦趋即可。tutorial sheet要认真做,每次都要满分也不难。复习之时熟背笔记,将past year paper作一遍,考试不愁。
level 3的课程,似乎不再作为cfm了,况且一门也没有学过,就不说了。

Honestly speaking, the job scope is very narrow. Jobs which are relevant to what we study in Chinese Studies or Linguistics fall in three main fields: Academics, Journalism and Teaching.
It is not easy to pursue academics, until you have a phD, and it is probably not considered towards fulfilment of bonds;
For journalism, Singapore Press Holdings have their own scholars that in recent years they rarely accept other graduate. If you stand for an opportunity to be their scholar, you really must try your utmost (then we would be colleagues in future haha...);
Probably the good news comes from Teaching, as Singapore badly needs Chinese teachers for Primary and Secondary schools. Comparing to scholarships offered by major organizations and companies, the MOE scholarship for teaching mother tongue is relatively easy to get.
Nonetheless, there are still numerous jobs availeble which are not relevant to what we study. In fact, my first scholarship offer was from the Port Authority of Singapore (PSA). Even today, I could not figure out why they were willing to pay for me to study Chinese literature. However, my case was not the most absurd. PSA gave a scholarship to a college mate of mine to do Genetics in London!
In short, there is a will, there is a way.[沈喑 (8-5 10:36, Long long ago)]

Honestly speaking, the job scope is very narr...)此言不虚。做学术工作是首选,不过至少有博士学位吧
本地出版业,也不错,不过小心被分配到《新明日报》去
至于做教师,如今年头不好,NIE也难进得很啊。[materialist (8-6 17:10, Long long ago)]
