"母語應該要包含在課綱之中"

為了要讓台灣的母語留存，教育部已經讓本土語言成為學生的必修課程。

從2016年開始，國小和國中的學生將必須在學校學本土語言。學生每週將會有一堂母語課程，他們能夠選擇學習台語、客家語或是一種原住民語。現行的課綱，本土語言則只是國中的選修課。通常都以社團的形式，由老師教導。

這消息獲得多數家長團體和教師協會的正面回應。全國家長團體聯盟理事長吳福濱表達了支持，並說：「政府有責任推動並實施本土語言教育。」同樣地，教育台灣化聯盟社長鄭正煜也表示，要發展真正的「台灣本土語言教育」課程的話就有必要改變。

同時，台語聯盟聯盟長張嘉讌已經要求了實施配套措施，像是重新檢視本土語言教師的認證過程，並且點出了為學生研發新教科書的需求。

(Education) Native Languages to Be Included in National Curriculum

In a bid to keep Taiwans native languages alive, the Ministry of Education has made it compulsory for students to learn native languages.

Beginning in 2016, both elementary and junior high school students will have to study a native language at school. Students will have one native language class a week, for which they can choose to learn either Taiwanese, Hakka or an aboriginal language. Under the current program, native languages are an optional course in junior high school. They are usually conducted by teachers in the form of an extracurricular social club.

The news has received positive responses from most parent groups and teachers organizations. National Alliance of Parents Organization head Wu Fu-bin has expressed his support, saying, The government has the responsibility to promote and implement native language education. Similarly, Union of Education in Taiwan chairperson Cheng Cheng-yu also says the changes are necessary for developing a genuine Taiwan native language education program.

Meanwhile, chairperson of the Alliance for Taiwanese Mother Tongue Chang Chia-yen has requested the implementation of complementary assessments, such as a review of the certification process for teachers of native languages, and addressed the need to develop new textbooks for students.
