23年高考英语外刊阅读理解训练——学中文变得流行了
——改编自Learning Chinese has become popular
With the aim of raising bilingual and culturally-aware children, American parents are turning to Chinese au pairs to provide their children with an immersive language and cultural experience. The rise in popularity of au pairs from China can be seen nationwide, with some childcare agencies reporting a surge in requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to over 4,000 since 2004.
For parents like Joseph Stocke, having a Chinese au pair is a way to give their children an early start in learning Chinese. After just six months with their au pair, Stocke's 2-year-old son can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions. Similarly, Li Drake, a Chinese native living in Minnesota with her American husband, wanted her children to stay connected to their roots and culture.
Language educators like Professor Suzanne Flynn also agree that staying with a native speaker is more effective than learning from a classroom. However, parents should not expect complete mastery from just one year with an au pair. Flynn suggests that continued learning until the age of 10-12 is necessary for complete fluency.
The growing demand for Chinese au pairs in America is a reflection of the increasing interest in Chinese language and culture. As more parents seek to raise bilingual and culturally-aware children, it is expected that the demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the coming years.
