The critical period of children's language education
3-6 years old is a critical period for children's language learning and development, and it is also a critical period for language development and application in one's life. It is also a sensitive period for children's oral expression ability development. At this stage, we should give full play to its characteristics and cultivate children's language ability purposefully, which will play an inestimable role in its future and even life development! Let the children listen more, listen to beautiful sentences and essays, and the children will imitate them after listening. Let children talk more, and their language expression ability can be developed in the process of speaking. When children have a certain language quality, they can express their thoughts and absorb knowledge, and then they can talk about their all-round development. It is pointed out in the outline that the key to developing children's language is to create an environment that makes them want to speak, dare to speak, like to speak, have the opportunity to speak and get a positive response. Then, how to promote children's language expression ability mainly includes the following aspects.

First, create a language atmosphere that children want to speak.

As a teacher, we should create a language atmosphere that children want to speak. Whenever I come to kindergarten in the morning, many children like to tell the teacher anecdotes that happened at home. They are willing to share their happiness with others. As teachers, we can kneel down and listen to the children carefully. Let the children feel that the teacher likes listening to them. At the same time, you can also use the morning talk time to organize children to tell their own stories together. For example, when you come back from the National Day, let the children talk about where they went during the holiday and what interesting things they met. Encourage children who tell good stories, use small stickers or thumbs-up rewards to stimulate their desire to tell stories, and we should encourage timid and introverted children. Even if they just smile, we should not forget to encourage them! At the same time, let them feel that it is a very happy thing to share their own things with everyone, experience the joy of sharing, and at the same time cultivate children's habit of listening, improve their expression ability and establish self-confidence.

1, let children dare to say, not afraid to say wrong.

Teachers should create a relaxed and stress-free language environment for children. Let the children have the desire to speak out. Especially those introverted and timid children. They are afraid that they are wrong, which makes them feel nervous. In the face of such children, we touch them with smiles and body movements to eliminate inner fears, thus stimulating their enthusiasm for language expression. Children and teachers should talk on an equal footing, make children feel that they are friends of teachers, gradually eliminate children's fear of independent performances, and enhance their desire to perform boldly. As teachers, we should create opportunities for them to express freely and play freely, and let them have something to say and dare to speak in a free atmosphere, and become active learners and participants rather than passive recipients.

Second, create a good family language environment.

Family is the cradle of children's growth and the warmest, most important, safest, freest and happiest harbor for children. The speaking ability and language expression ability of family members directly affect the development of children's language level. Therefore, as parents, we should try our best to do the following at home:

1, language education for children in the family, parents set an example to cultivate children's interest.

Children aged 3-4 are the easiest to accept languages. At this time, children are more likely to receive Putonghua education and training. Parents set an example by communicating with their children in Putonghua, creating a good environment for their children and making them happy to speak Putonghua. Especially around children's study and life, talk about some topics that are in line with children's phonetic characteristics and are of interest to children, so that children are willing to talk and always ask him to use Mandarin. Cultivate children's interest in speaking Mandarin from an early age. At the same time, parents should communicate with their children in standardized language.

2. Make full use of various environments to stimulate children's wishes.

On weekends, parents take their children to parks, bookstores and amusement parks. Make full use of things that children around you are interested in, let children know things in play, and encourage children to speak out bravely. For example, communicate with other children, salespeople, administrators, etc. Sometimes let children talk to small animals and plants. So parents can know what their children are thinking. The contents of the child's brain naturally flow back, revealing the desire to say. This gives beautiful wings to children's imagination.

Third, language education in kindergartens.

In the one-day activities in kindergarten, teachers should actively create an environment for children to dare to speak, like to speak, have the opportunity to speak and get a positive response. In other words, teachers should pay attention to arouse children's enthusiasm. Teachers should establish a good relationship with children and let them say whatever they want and express their opinions. Therefore, teachers should adopt various ways to create a language environment for children.

1, to expose children to excellent literary works.

At this stage of kindergarten, children should be exposed to excellent literary works as much as possible. Children's literature is the art of language, which is written in accurate, vivid, concise and fluent language, so that children can initially feel the influence of culture and develop their language ability. For example, the story "Bear Treat" has many similar languages. By letting children learn and retell the dialogue, they can feel the fun brought by the role story, and children will also use their spare time to tell it with friends, so that their expression ability has been developed and improved. There is also a children's song "When I Grow Up", in which the language is very beautiful. After learning, children read aloud with emotion, so that children's language can develop imperceptibly!

2. Pay attention to children's individual differences and give targeted individual education.

It is pointed out in the outline that children's language learning has personalized characteristics. Individual communication between teachers and children and between children is very important. Therefore, teachers should pay attention to creating appropriate conditions and give targeted development guidance according to children's specific conditions. At the same time, teachers should also pay special attention to children with language barriers. As far as this course is concerned. Children's language proficiency varies greatly. Some children's language is adult, coherent and rich in vocabulary. We have higher requirements for such children. For individual children with poor language skills, we slowly promote their progress from words to words to sentences and rings. Practice has proved that our method is effective. The progress of young children is obvious.

3. Pay attention to creating diversified and life-oriented learning situations.

In recent years, kindergarten teachers have created a colorful language learning environment for children through telling stories, talking, listening and speaking games, and early reading and writing activities. However, language education can only be full of vigor and vitality if it is closely linked with children's real life.

The key to the development of children's language is to let children learn language through the use of language in their lives. Therefore, teachers should actively provide life situations that can stimulate and support children's meaningful language use, guide children to be willing to talk with others in life, pay attention to listening to each other's language, and attach importance to the cultivation of children's communicative competence.

In short, in the process of children's learning and using language, teachers must update their educational concepts. Parents should also actively cooperate. According to children's age characteristics, we should use effective methods to activate children's internal motivation to learn languages, encourage and guide them in time, and train children into useful talents to adapt to the new century.
