It is worth mentioning that Zhao Li, one of the main research members of this paper, is the mother of the little genius panda Kai, which we once shared.
Let's get to know the general content of this paper first. Because the space is very long, so get to the point!
Influenced by exam-oriented education, students are in passive learning mode for a long time. Many students are not interested in English, and English listening and speaking teaching is relatively more boring. Many students have no confidence in English listening and speaking and have no motivation to learn.

In the exam-oriented education mode, students study English for exams, study grammar with words on their backs all day, and cram all kinds of "English knowledge" into their minds. Of course, the result of rote learning is that learning is miserable!
We find that "acquisition" is more important than "learning" ... "acquisition" is to learn a language imperceptibly through a lot of contact and use.

Just like children learning their mother tongue, immersed in an understandable English environment every day, children will naturally learn English without pain.
Learn English in the most natural way, and learn English from the correspondence of sound, shape and scene, so as to get rid of the control of Chinese thinking.

Children in China generally have no English environment. What should I do? Only sound and pictures can create an understandable English environment, which is also the principle of English curriculum design of Dasi.
Listening and speaking training must be based on listening and have a lot of effective understandable input. Students listen more, understand more, accumulate more, and naturally have language output. Therefore, never let students speak for the sake of speaking, and never take speaking as the only criterion to judge students' learning level.
I translate.
"Speaking for the sake of speaking" is still very popular in children's English education in China, but what can a child say if there is no meaningful voice in his brain?
Listening training will be paid more and more attention!
Although there are still many unsatisfactory aspects in English classes in China schools, we are glad to see that professionals who are committed to English education have realized these problems and are trying to change them!
A powerful proof is that more and more English teachers not only put their children on the platform of thinking English, but also personally joined the ranks of promoting the concept of listening first!
We also have reason to believe that children will pay more and more attention to listening training in the process of learning English, and understandable English listening input is the only efficient way!
