ISHChinese
First Year Project ISHChinese
First Year Project The Information Superhighway in Chinese project was developed
by and his students at Horace Mann
Academic Middle School, San Francisco, USA in 1994.The goal is to
enable Chinese Bilingual students to use Chinese language on the
Internet.
In 1994, our students were the first in the United States who
could used Chinese to communicate with Internet users in China,
Hong Kong, Taiwan and UK. We have Chinese E-mail pen pals around
the world now.
We first introduced the world's best Chinese to English
translation software to our bilingual class. Therefore, our
Chinese bilingual students were never hindered by their lack of
English ability to get access to authentic content materials and
to do online research. We can type in or scan in original English
articles and use the computer to translate them into Chinese in
just minutes. The accuracy rate is over 85%! The translation
software has proved to be a strong tool to provide Chinese LEP
students updated educational materials and it is the best partner
for bilingual educators.
This project is made possibe by San Francisco Education Fund .
