[@elainez2053]

I went to this school. It’s actually a public school and entirely free, but people are right in assuming that the students mostly came from resourceful families (although definitely not exclusively so.) So the barrier doesn’t actually come from the financial cost, but the insane entrance “interviews” and exams where you could only be competitive if your parents signed you up for a ton of tutoring classes from a young age. English proficiency is especially sought after in the selection process, since foreign language is supposed to be the school’s forte. A lot of kids in Shanghai nowadays receive bilingual education in kindergarten, and families with the means to do so hire native speakers as private tutors or send them to programs abroad to practice English. Everyone in this video was probably offered a spot precisely for the good English they spoke. Maybe things have changed, but I wouldn’t say there’s anything special in the education itself, other than maybe a relative abundance of teachers who are native speakers. The kids were probably already fluent when they came into the school in 6th grade (which obviously isn’t to undermine their own incredible efforts.) We also had a “special” class every year that would take a second foreign language as a requirement for like 6-7 hours a week, and opportunities for electives for other classes, so that’s how these kids picked up German/French/Spanish. At this point, they’ve probably only studied these languages for a year or two, but once they get to high school, they’d also have a lot of opportunities for school-wide activities and events in foreign languages, competitions, and exchange programs abroad. A lot of people end up studying abroad with very few participating in the Chinese college entrance exam (Gaokao), and many end up at Ivy League schools. So this is definitely not representative of the whole city, let alone less urban or affluent parts of China. To be fair though, the school still does a really good job in foreign language teaching and offers an unparalleled breadth of extracurricular activities, which is probably why some of these kids do debate (maybe travel for debate) and still have a lot of cool interests, despite the rigid Chinese education system.

[@horatiowang8679]

@武田信義 单纯从语言学习方面讲，我有一个见解：对于生活在非英语国家的孩子，启蒙的年龄比上国际学校更重要。两岁之前，孩子对任何语言的接受都是自然而不费劲的，这个接受度会随着年龄不断下降。所以如果生活在国内的普通孩子想要拥有接近母语者的英语语感，可以从小给他们看英文动画片，比如迪斯尼动画，等到六七岁语言表达能力比较强的时候，就会发现他们能说比较自然的英语，也就是语感已经形成了。然后上小学后上上英语课并且买一点英文的阅读材料让他们学习，十几岁后他们的词汇量也会相当不错的。这个方法成本很低。语言学习要接近或者达到母语者的流利度，语感是最重要的，词汇等在后续积累中是相对容易的。 这几个视频中的孩子，他们的语感并没有接近母语级别，但在中国的孩子中算是一流的了，所以我相信，他们在低幼阶段时候应该父母也没有采用类似我说的语言坏境浸泡式的培养。Desirenine现在还没有孩子，所以未来有孩子了采用我说的类似的方法，是很有可能拥有比视频中的孩子更流利的英文水平的。 当然国际学校其他方面的优势我不了解，在那些方面普通家庭的孩子能否同样达到，我就不知道了。
