Reflections on how to cultivate the language development ability of children in large classes
Language ability is one of the basic qualities that modern people must possess. Having good language skills can communicate well with people and lay a good foundation for intellectual development. It is also an element of creativity development and the key to perfect personality development. Early childhood (3 ~ 7 years old) is a very important and critical period for language development, and language is a good tool for children to accept and develop knowledge. Kindergarten attaches great importance to language teaching and has made great progress. However, there are also some problems in the actual teaching activities.

First, there is a problem.

(A lack of language communication in daily study and life.

In the setting of course activities, courses in other fields such as language will be arranged during the week's activities. In language education activities, teachers can also develop children's language expression ability through stories, reading activities, speaking activities, listening and speaking games and other language and literature activities. However, they pay attention to the form of group class and often ignore the verbal communication in daily activities. In collective teaching activities, children's performance is limited after all, and many children will still lose the opportunity to express themselves; However, in daily activities, the lack of communication of themes and topics reduces the opportunities for children to express themselves in language.

(2) Teachers' questioning and feedback in language teaching activities are not effective.

1. problem.

In the actual language teaching activities, the setting of questions is often not hierarchical, directionless and challenging, which will make many children lose the opportunity to speak and hinder the development of children's language expression ability.

For example, in the first part of the language activity of the big class, "Pee and pee and eat pop rocks", it is helpful for children to ask questions in time when they are interested in listening carefully. But there are many problems to be solved in the process of asking questions, such as: "What happened?" "How did you fall?" "How could you get hurt?" We should also master the onomatopoeic words of "Gollum" and "Bang Bang". The questions in the questioning are too complicated for the children to master and the teacher is tired of listening. Lack of hierarchy and directionality.

2. feedback.

In the feedback of teaching activities, we often hear some simple praise feedback such as "very good" and "great", and the answer to children is limited to this, even limiting the development of children's thinking.

For example, in large classes, such as the language activity of "peeing and eating pop rocks", when the children learned about the injury process of peeing for the first time, the teacher asked in time: What happened? After the child answered, the teacher commented with a sentence "Your answer is really good", but how to ask questions next? The connection between the problems will be problematic.

(3) Book corners are set at will.

Sharing reading is a reading education activity implemented in families or kindergartens by using shared reading materials carefully designed by psychologists and educators according to children's cognitive laws, and cooperating with sharing reading education methods. In order to cultivate children's interest in early reading and sharing reading, we can see a "book corner" area in almost every class. However, some books on these shelves are not suitable for children's age and physical and mental characteristics: some books are full of words and only have one or two simple pictures during the period; Some pictures are blurred; Some even have violent books such as Altman; There are even some comic books that older children read, which is not good for children to read.

Second, educational ideas and strategies.

Mr. Tao Xingzhi said: "The purpose of education is to solve problems, so it is not real education that cannot solve problems." Children in large classes have a certain vocabulary, but their imagination and creativity are very small. Middle-class children have enriched a lot. How can we improve the language expression ability of large class children? According to the question, do the following thinking.

(1) Take Tao Xingzhi's "life is education" as the theory, and add a communication platform for children's daily study and life.

In Tao Xingzhi's view, education and life are the same process, education is contained in life, and education can only play a role if it is combined with life. He advocates the complete integration of education and life. The same is true of children's language expression ability. While arranging collective language activities, teachers should try to increase communication platforms in their daily activities. For example, when they come to the garden for reception, they should create a communication platform among children, parents and teachers, ask about their physical condition, praise their good hygiene habits, etc. to exercise their language expression ability and strengthen their family ties; When talking in the morning, let the children actively participate in the story every day and talk about their own National Day fun. Talk to your good friends about your favorite cartoons and so on during the break. A good communication platform is full of life activities all day. Therefore, only collective teaching activities without language training in daily activities, most children's language ability can not be developed; And the latter alone can't make a climate. Therefore, only by combining collective teaching activities with daily life activities can we create more opportunities for children to express and communicate.

(2) Take Tao Xingzhi's "society is school" as the theory, and guide children to exercise and study in many ways.

Tao Xingzhi believes that "society is a university hall", and learning language expression ability is no exception. We should not only master small classes, but also make full use of the university hall of "society".

1. Fully grasp the small class.

(1) In order to effectively ask questions in small classes, teachers should first combine and closely follow the content of teaching activities and ask questions related to the content of the activities in order to solve the problems in a targeted manner; Secondly, according to the development of children's ability, children's age characteristics are different, and the ways and methods of asking questions are also different; Finally, teachers should combine the means of questioning, such as the change of pronunciation and intonation, the assistance of action, etc. So as to attract children's attention, think about problems and solve problems.

For example, the question setting of the Chinese activity "Peeing Rats Eat pop rocks" in large classes has been adjusted. Besides grasping the opportunity, questions should be asked at different levels. Therefore, the questioning and mastering of onomatopoeia words "Gollum" and "Pong-Pong" will be adjusted to focus on solving the problem when the second Peep Mouse is injured. At this time, it is easier to ask and master onomatopoeia. Teachers are not in a hurry to ask questions, and children have enough time to communicate and develop their language skills.

(2) Effective feedback means that teachers give timely and positive comments on children's answers, or encourage, praise or improve children's answers, so as to solve problems more effectively. Similarly, effective feedback is inseparable from teaching activities and the content of teaching activities. Secondly, effective feedback should encourage children in a positive way and sublimate their answers. On the contrary, children's answers to open questions will also be the answers to expand their thinking and enrich their imagination. Accordingly, the teacher will also give guiding feedback, so that children can get more gains in the activities.

2. Make full use of family resources.

Parents should set an example and cultivate their children's interest in learning languages. Parents should pay attention to using standardized language to have daily conversations with their children. Parents in the family should guide their children to learn to speak actively and actively create a good environment, especially around their study and life in kindergarten. Talk about some topics that are in line with children's language characteristics and are of interest to children, so that children are willing to talk, talk and actively express.

Telling stories before going to bed is the warmest and happiest moment for children. Children snuggle up to their parents and listen to interesting stories, which is not only a wonderful enjoyment, but also allows children to be influenced by language unconsciously. At this time, parents can ask appropriate questions to help children understand the content of the story, and let children express their views on the characters in the story by talking, so as to cultivate their language expression ability.

3. Make full use of various environments and resources.

Make full use of various environments to stimulate children's desire to speak. On weekends, parents can take their children to various occasions, such as shopping malls, supermarkets and communities. And make full use of the topics that children are interested in, teach children to know things in the process of playing, encourage children to talk boldly, such as talking with children, salespeople and managers, and fully tap and cultivate children's language ability.

(3) Improve children's language expression level with Tao Xingzhi's theory of "integration of teaching and doing".

Tao Xingzhi believes that "teaching is one thing, not three things." We should teach while doing, and go to school while doing. "Take the setting of' Book Corner' as an example, teachers should strictly control and make full use of these books, so that children can truly appreciate the fun of reading and develop their language expression ability in the ocean of reading.

1. Choose suitable good books and pay attention to the cultivation of children's good reading habits and reading ability.

Children in large classes have a strong interest in books. A good book is enough to arouse children's interest in reading. On the premise of interest, children should pay attention to the cultivation of good reading habits. In reading, children can speak boldly by observing pictures, and cultivate listening through peer narration. Some children in large classes can not only actively express the pictures in the book, but also are very interested in the words in the book. Children often come to ask questions. In this process, they improve their memory ability and form good reading habits and reading ability.

2. Teachers and children cooperate to increase children's opportunities to "speak".

Children in large classes are flexible in language expression and strive to be different. However, children at this stage still have individual differences in language generalization ability and logic of language expression. Therefore, in the process of reading, teachers need help and guidance. Through the teacher's "teaching", children will have more opportunities to "speak" in the process of reading, thus improving their language expression ability.

3. Improve children's language expression level through role-playing in the book.

Children in large classes like to play role games and are very interested in role-playing in books. Because children's thinking is further developing towards abstraction, words and actions appear more frequently in games. This is also a good opportunity to train children's language skills. Through acting and speaking in role-playing, we can consolidate the mastery of language and really apply it to study and life, thus further improving children's language expression level.

Only on the basis of "teaching and doing", in the environment of family, school and society, can children's language expression level be really improved, thus improving their ability level in all aspects.
