漢語拼音教學是普通話教學中的一項關鍵任務。本文分析、討論了香港小學普通話課程中拼音教學的兩個基本原則問題：一進行漢語拼音教學的前提是小學生必須已經熟悉普通話，具有普通話基本交流能力。如果學生的普通話語音積累不夠，那麼，教學拼音事倍功半，效果差；二香港小學的漢語拼音教學不能完全套用內地小學拼音教學的模式，因為兩地小學生的普通話能力和普通話學習環境很不相同。我們從課文內容，課文形式，課文語言以及課堂教學活動詳細介紹我們的香港小學漢語拼音教材的設計和我們一年來的拼音教學實驗情況。最後，本文描述香港小學生學習漢語拼音的特點。
Pinyin is a very important component in Putonghua teaching. This paper reports our research and one-year classroom experiment in teaching Pinyin to Hong Kong primary school children. We summarize two principles in Pinyin teaching: 1) Pinyin teaching in Hong Kong shouldn't follow the curriculum of mainland; 2) Pinyin teaching should start when children have already had the basic Putonghua proficiency. In this paper, we will discuss in detail the designing of Pinyin materials, the classroom activities and the special patterns and characteristics of Hong Kong primary school children in learning Pinyin.
