0 1 Say something interesting
First of all, we should make clear the purpose of letting children learn English.
Not to "win at the starting line", not to improve children's English ability, nor to show off their cleverness in front of others.
It is to cultivate children's interest in English learning and improve their sensitivity to language.
Therefore, don't pursue the effect of learning too much. Please don't compare. Don't stare big and say that other children will know more words than 100. Just let me study in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
How do you make children fall in love with English? What parents can do is to keep their children's curiosity and thirst for knowledge and provide them with a suitable environment. Of course, we should also use our brains and wisdom to come up with vivid and interesting ways to guide and let children fully enjoy the fun of learning. Never indoctrinate or oppress knowledge. Please don't forget. Interest is the best teacher.
There are more games and fewer books.
I think it is the highest level of education, whether for college students or young children.
Children's English learning should not be "adult" or "scripted".
Children's growth law, love to play is nature, happiness is king, and playing games can capture children's hearts best!
Therefore, through various games, stimulate children's interest in learning.
Give a few simple examples.
For example, you can guess a riddle:
It is speculated that if the mother "flies", the baby will fly or fly.
When the mother does swimming, the baby will guess "fish" or "swim".
Mother said, "ears are like fans, noses are like pipes, thighs are like pillars, and tails are like braids."
"
Baby speculation: elephants.
For example, finding an object
Mother said, "Where are the apples?" )"
The baby found an apple from home and said, "Here you are.
"
In addition, there is a game of playing hide and seek.
Baby: "Hide and seek, hide and seek."
)"
Mom: "Peek. Peep. I see you! Hide and seek.
I see you! )"
There are more stories and fewer words.
When learning English, we often think of rich vocabulary. In fact, for young children, vocabulary is not the most important.
For example, the daughter of an English expert was asked by her mother to increase her English vocabulary when she was four years old. After entering junior high school, it only took other children half a year to catch up with their daughter's accumulated vocabulary. Therefore, it is of little use to over-enrich English vocabulary when children are young.
In fact, a limited number of simple sentences have made things clear. Maybe we can "explain" profound language by making up stories and setting up situations.
English expressions are interspersed in the story, which is lively and interesting and attracts children. I must like listening very much, and I will unconsciously understand the meaning of English language.
For example, an animal sports meeting is being held in the forest.
The rabbit is the champion of the race and runs very fast. Children know rabbits and run fast.
For example, show children how to cross the street at home.
Green light, you can go, red light, stop, children remember green and red.
In addition, children can watch English cartoons and choose simple, rhythmic, cute and interesting animated images and vivid stories to arouse their enthusiasm.
More communication, less knowledge.
English is actually a language, the essence of which is communication.
Therefore, let children have a social experience and actively communicate with children in the natural living environment.
For example, when taking children to practice rackets,
Are you ready? )
Yes, let's go! Come on, let's get started. )
It's time for dinner,
What time is it (what time is it now? )
Twenty. (12 points.
)
The more applications, the less memory.
I am very opposed to rote learning and forcing children to learn. Nowadays, children everywhere know 1000 Chinese characters at the age of 2, and remember 1000 words at the age of 3.
But does it make sense? Such a "prodigy" just proves that a child's memory is very strong and the potential of the human brain is infinite.
The key to learning is whether to "apply what you have learned"!
Therefore, taking children to learn English should not only recite words, read books, look at pictures and watch cartoons, but also apply them to daily life.
Children feel that "Wow, English is such a useful thing", and their interest will increase, and they will listen, speak and imitate.
For example, every morning, smile and say, "Good morning!" " Say hello.
In a few days, the child will remember, "Good morning!" He is very happy.
Before eating, he said, "Please wash your hands! Please wash your hands)
Children will silently remember until they take the initiative to wash their hands.
When introducing meals, children eat rice (rice), eggs (tomatoes) and tomatoes (tomatoes) very fresh, delicious and happy.
Therefore, children perceive the experience in a relaxed atmosphere and naturally master and use it.
Don't stick to family education, but treat the world around you as a "course". You can integrate English into anything interesting.
For example, let's pick strawberries and see how many we have picked. One, two, three.
For example, you see chickens, puppies, cows, chickens, dogs and cows in the countryside.
The more English can be combined with real life, the more children can appreciate the fun of learning.
More expression, less translation.
On the way, I saw my mother always asking the children next to her "how to say this in English". How do you say it in English? That's what I asked all the way.
I think many people think that this kind of behavior is very common and has correct guidance and inspiration for children.
Regarding mother tongue and second language, people may think of "translation" first, but I don't recommend learning through translation.
The concept of Chinese translation has been formed since childhood. English, Chinese, Chinese and English are in contrast with each other in my mind, which is not conducive to the development of thinking.
For example, if you say "come and sit", you don't need to tell your child what "come and sit" is in English. Say "come and sit down" directly, wave for the other person to approach, and pat the sofa for the other person to sit down.
The first time, the child will definitely ask you, what do you mean? But every time you want him to sit down, you say so and do the same thing.
After several times, he naturally knew what "come and sit" meant.
Just like the way I taught you to speak when I was a child, when you teach "Mom and Dad", he won't ask you what your mom and dad are.
More encouragement, less correction.
When children learn English, their pronunciation is often inaccurate. I once ridiculed "Crazy English, urgent translation".
This is the same as when he speaks his mother tongue. At first he couldn't say it well.
In fact, children learn through trial and error. Need a lot of space. The same is true of learning languages.
As the saying goes, "children speak freely", and they are outspoken and speak freely.
For serious mistakes, we should correct them in time, but for many harmless defects, we don't need criticism and harsh requirements, and we don't need severe correction.
If children feel or fear that they are wrong, they will become shy and lose interest and confidence in learning English.
Cultivating children's self-confidence in speaking English is more important than speaking English accurately, so positive encouragement and affirmation, full communication and helping children have a sense of accomplishment are the driving forces for progress.
