According to language instructors, classroom language plays a dual role, both as the dissemination of the proper usage of a tool, and also as a demonstration of the artistic nature of language. The enhancement of classroom language cannot be done overnight. Instead, it requires time to develop an appreciation for a rich heritage and a good sense of the language. It also requires the instructors to apply in real classroom situations by using precise language for teaching as a starting point, implementing the teaching objectives in a way that is accurate, orderly, vivid, and efficient. This article focuses on the classroom situation, especially the current situation of Chinese language education in Singapore, addressing the common problems in the language of instruction, proposing a strategy that tackles the issues from both the horizontal and vertical aspects of education. From the horizontal aspect, the focal point is the teacher's everyday use of language, the sharpening of language sense, giving teachers an overall view of the field of language instruction from a strategic perspective, so that the teacher will not merely focus on mind-numbing language drills. From the vertical aspect, the main basis for language learning is the use of language in organizing the classroom, with strategies focusing on introductory, questioning, evaluative, transitional expressions, and summarization. A strategy that combines these various aspects will trigger students' thinking and open a window for teachers to improve the quality of language instruction, taking a macro approach to education.

The notion of wisdom is a central aspect of the traditional Confucian culture of the Chinese. In Confucian tradition, it plays an important role in the theories of daily human relations and moral education. Confucianism advocates an interaction of wisdom and benevolence, and particularly highlights the educational value of wisdom in passing on virtues to society at large. The author, as a follower of Confucian thought, advocates moral education in the schools that highlights wisdom and aims to develop a new standard of morality in today's students. Based on this idea, the author proposes three ideas: the explicit goal of giving the development of students' moral wisdom a prominent place in the school's moral education; consciously strengthening the scientific approach to the teaching of moral thought and continuously improving and deepening moral development; and, concerning the ethics of ecology, science, and technology, to strive to develop in students a moral wisdom aimed at harmony and help them gain a better understanding of the current world in which we live today.

This article focuses on reporting the perceptions of secondary school students in Singapore and the difficulties they faced in the use of information technology for writing Chinese compositions. A qualitative analysis was made on the data collected. It was found that although the technological devices should be effective learning aids for the students, however it was also essential for the teachers to have a clear understanding of the student's abilities in both the language and the technology in order to develop an appropriate teaching method. The results of the study was compared to a similar study done on a group of primary school students, taking into consideration variable factors such as age, to determine the effects of those activities on the students' perceptions and attitudes toward the use of IT tools in Chinese writing.

Using Multiple Intelligences as a theoretical basis, educational activities were designed for use with the Primary Five Higher Chinese text, "The Little Mermaid". Professor Howard Gardner asserts that everyone possesses eight intelligences, and with proper guidance and encouragement, these eight intelligences can be developed and enhanced. The author uses the Multiple Intelligence Instructional Unit to design educational activities. After a brainstorming session, students are to write their input in a worksheet that has eight boxes, each representing a different intelligence. The entire syllabus can be differentiated according to three stages initiative, development, and summary--consisting of six levels (or activities). In addition, "checkpoints" have been designed to encourage students' active participation, allowing each student to act as a little teacher in order to create a learning-friendly environment. These "checkpoints" are also used to evaluate students. Finally, results of the evaluation which are recorded in the reports by the teachers would be given to the parents.

The government has an important responsibility in the development and provision of compulsory education. Today, the development of China's compulsory education faces many problems and challenges. The government needs to recognise these challenges in the compulsory education system. They need to ensure funding for compulsory education, provide a balanced development of compulsory education, offer compulsory education for disadvantaged groups, and develop a reasonable system. By taking on new roles and responsibilities, it will provide fair, quality, efficient compulsory education for every student.
