DEFINITION

Verb

The term “浸濡” originally means to be soaked, but has come to be used as a metaphor for immersing oneself in a situation. In Singapore, it generally refers to experiencing foreign cultures first-hand.

由来
  • “浸濡”一词与新加坡的教育关系密切，学生到国外学校当交换生或出国学习称为“浸濡”。例如1990年，教育部 (Ministry of Education) 成立的华文语文特选课程 (Chinese Language Elective Programme，简称“语特”)，主要为栽培双语人才，提高学生的华文水平和文学素养。这项课程为期两年，其中的深广活动就包括海外浸濡计划，主要是到访北京、上海或台北学习。
  • 为了让华文语言与文化在本地继续有一线生机，教育部于2005年在一些特选学校推出了双语文化课程 (中文) (Bicultural Studies Programme [Chinese]，BSP[C]) 项目，其中就有到中国浸濡的活动。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The term is closely related to education in Singapore, specifically in relation to students who are on exchange programmes or are studying abroad. For example, the Chinese Language Elective Programme (CLEP), established by the Ministry of Education in 1990, aims to cultivate bilingual talents and improve students’ proficiency and literacy in Chinese. The two-year programme features an overseas immersion component, which involves learning trips to Beijing, Shanghai or Taipei.
  • In 2005, to encourage the learning of Chinese language and culture, the Ministry of Education launched a four-year Bicultural Studies Programme (Chinese), or BSP(C), in some selected Special Assistance Plan (SAP) schools, which includes immersion programmes in China.
例句
从明年起，为期两年的语特开放给中三学生，他们必须修华文文学O水准科目。在直通车学校上课的学生则修校本的华文文学科。除此之外，学生将参加语特营、写作营、文学讲座和浸濡计划等增益活动。(《联合晚报》，28/5/2019)
SAMPLE SENTENCE
From next year, a two-year Chinese Language Elective Programme (CLEP) will be open to Secondary 3 students, which requires them to take “O” Level Chinese Literature. For students in Integrated Programme (IP) Schools, they will take a school-based Chinese Literature subject instead. In addition, students will get to participate in activities such as CLEP camps, writing camps, literature lectures and immersion programmes to deepen their knowledge. (Lianhe Wanbao, 28/5/2019)
