《欢乐伙伴》中 一处隐形失误

The author, a lecturer at the department of Asian Languages & Cultures (ALC) at NIE, NTU, discussed the newest teaching material called “欢乐伙伴”, which was developed based on the 2010 report by the Mother Tongue Languages Review Committee for the 2015 primary school Chinese syllabus. The author said the new set of teaching material was vividly illustrated, and the various sections were well-designed and arranged. However, there was an ‘invisible error' that he wanted to point out. In the 10th lesson for Primary Six Higher Chinese textbook, which was for students to learn about modifying compositions, Xu said the original text meant for students to edit was flawed and required re-writing. Xu said such mistakes were not directly related to the teaching goal of writing vivid compositions, which can be easily ignored by teachers, students and parents. It was therefore not difficult to understand how this one mistake had escaped the textbook author and textbook reviewers’ eyes. Xu hoped the material could be amended during reprint so that it does not affect future students.
