Since children have innate advantages in learning English, will children learn English well? As a matter of fact, the research of China Education Organization found that 46% of children were ineffective in learning English at the age of 3-6, and 5% of them were bored with English in the process of learning English. Why is this happening? It turns out that many parents realize that the best age for their children to learn English is 3-6 years old, so they will start to sign up for various children's English training classes. Some are not suitable for children to learn, but they are counterproductive. Therefore, there are three points to keep in mind when choosing an English training institution for children aged 3-6.
1. Children's English learning environment The big problem for children aged 3-6 to learn English is that it is not easy to concentrate with them. Therefore, it is necessary to create a relaxed and happy learning atmosphere for children, attract children's attention by various methods, such as English songs and English stories, and try to eliminate other interference. The learning environment of pre-school English training institutions should pay attention to the following two points: First, professional English training teachers for foreign teachers. Foreign teachers in professional pre-school English training institutions must be native English speakers and hold professional teaching qualification certificates. Foreign teachers should be cheerful and lively, which can drive children to learn.
Followed by class size and institutional environment. It is more suitable for small class teaching with children under 0/0 at a young age, so that children can learn together with their peers and have more interest and motivation in learning. The environment of pre-school English training institutions must be innovated.
2. Children's English learning materials
Textbooks are the main tools of teaching. Good teaching materials for children's English learning mainly include English books, newspapers, picture books, audio materials and English word lists. General professional pre-school English training institutions will adopt advanced pre-school English textbooks. 3. English pronunciation is the key for children to learn English.
If parents have received orthodox American English education or British English education and have a standard and fluent pronunciation, they can speak English to their children from infancy and cultivate their English language sense. In pre-school English training institutions, foreign teachers are mainly responsible for teaching children to learn pronunciation, so it is necessary to investigate whether the foreign teachers in this pre-school English training institution are citizens of English-speaking countries and whether they must have TEFL and TKT certifications issued by the state. In short, parents must pay attention to the above factors when choosing English training classes for their children, so that their children can learn English efficiently and happily in a high-quality English learning environment.
