Of the more than 6,000 languages in the world, 96% are only used by 4% people, and less than 20% are used in schools and the Internet. 80% of the world's web pages are in English, and the education system, news media, publications and public places are basically out of touch with thousands of languages, especially indigenous languages without characters, and the danger of disappearing is even more prominent.
On average, one language disappears every two weeks-experts estimate that by the end of this century, 50% to 90% of the world's languages will disappear-and endangered languages will die faster than endangered animals. Language diversity is being seriously affected.
Language education generally refers to the teaching behavior and learning behavior of any language. Its content covers writing form, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, listening comprehension, conversation, reading and writing.
Four stages of language education
A year and a half ago
Children should try to understand what adults say. Three to four months, children can be trained to independently pronounce syllables such as "A"; After half a year old, tell your child the name of the toy and let him know what toy you are talking about; About one year old, tell him as many names as possible, such as the names of family members, household appliances, facial features, hands and feet, etc.
Two to three years old
Children should master the simplest language form-"situational dialogue". For example, when a child is eager to express a request, even if you have understood it, encourage the child to express it hard, instead of solving it for him immediately.
Three to five years old
Children should be trained to use so-called "contextual language". For example, the child asks, "What does the white rabbit like to eat?" Parents can let their children observe for themselves and tell what they have observed independently. Retelling simple stories is also useful for children.
Before entering school
To improve children's ability to use descriptive language. For example, training explains the rules of the game; Guide children to express their attitude towards the images in fairy tales.
