The overall goal of kindergarten language education is:
1. Willing to talk with people and speak politely;
2. Pay attention to each other's words and understand everyday language;
3. Be able to clearly say what you want to say;
4. Like to listen to stories and read books;
5. Be able to understand and speak Mandarin.
To understand the language education requirements of the Outline, educators need to pay attention to:
1. can create a free and relaxed language communication environment, support, encourage and attract children to talk with teachers, peers or others, and experience the fun of language communication. Considering the requirements of educational environment, the role and function of teachers, the scope of communication and the characteristics of communication with different groups, the development of children's oral English needs children to be interested in language communication, truly understand the role of communication, and cultivate their desire, attitude and ability to communicate actively and naturally.
2. Cultivate children's listening habits and develop their language understanding ability. Listening is the behavior of children's perception and understanding of language. As far as children's language learning and development are concerned, listening is an indispensable behavioral ability, and the cultivation of good listening habits also begins in preschool. Only those who know how to listen, are willing to listen and are good at listening can truly understand the content, form and application of language and master the skills of language communication with others.
3. Encourage children to express their thoughts and feelings boldly and clearly, try to explain and describe simple things or processes, and develop children's thinking ability and language expression ability. For children, the behavior of expressing and exchanging personal opinions with certain language content, language form and language use is one of the main manifestations of children's language learning and language development. Only those who know the function of expression, are willing to express their views to others and have the ability to express themselves can truly communicate with others. Therefore, expressive behavior is an important part of cultivating children's language education goals. Children need to learn to express their feelings and understanding in different situations and become fluent language users.
4. Guide children to contact excellent children's literature works, let them feel the richness and beauty of the language, and help them deepen their experience and understanding of the works through various activities. This requirement requires us to create opportunities for children to learn fairy tales, stories, children's songs, children's poems, children's essays and other literary works as much as possible, and guide them to imagine the rich scenes created by literary works, feel and understand the personality and emotional characteristics of various characters in the works, and express them in narrative language.
5. Cultivate children's interest in simple marks and words that are common in life. Use books and paintings to stimulate children's interest in books, reading and writing, and cultivate their pre-reading and pre-writing skills. This requirement is by no means equivalent to general literacy and writing. Early childhood educators must be aware that literacy cannot be the ultimate goal of early reading at this stage. The main requirements of early reading are pre-reading and preparation before writing to help children transition from spoken language to written language. These include knowing the importance of books and characters, being willing to read books and recognize Chinese characters, and mastering certain reading and writing preparation skills, and so on.
6. Provide the language environment of Putonghua to help children get familiar with, understand and speak Putonghua.
