With the successful Olympic bid in 2008 and China's accession to the WTO, English as a universal language is increasingly recognized by us. There is an "English learning wind" all over the country, and so are many parents. They hope that their children will become talents in the future. Under the guidance of this expectation, parents attach great importance to children's early English development education. However, some parents have different understandings of children's English education activities, and they lack scientific educational concepts and methods. Misunderstanding 1: Improper educational purpose and motivation In some families, parents have different understandings of their children's English education activities. Some parents do not have a comprehensive understanding of children's English development education activities, and think that letting children learn English well is to lay the foundation for going to primary and secondary schools. Some parents want their children to learn something when they see other children learning this and that. Some parents think that children are allowed to learn English in order to follow the fashion. It is not wrong for such parents to think about their children's future and let them follow the requirements of the times, but if they completely ignore their own quality conditions, age characteristics and personality characteristics, they will design their children's future instead of their parents and let them learn foreign languages blindly, and the effect will often be half the effort. Therefore, as the first teacher of parents and children, parents must change their educational concepts and have a new and correct understanding of early English development education. Early English education aims at developing children's intelligence, developing children's language ability and cultivating children's interest in learning English. Human communication needs language, and English, as a common language, is one of the necessary abilities for contemporary children to step into society. Furthermore, according to scientific research, preschool children's brains have considerable potential, and they have the ability to learn foreign languages, which has obvious advantages for older children and adults, so we strongly advocate early English development education for preschool children. Family is the first environment for children to learn, and parents are their first teachers. Parents' educational concept and motivation can directly affect their children, so parents should change their educational concept and adopt scientific educational methods and correct educational means to educate their children on early English development. Myth 2: The methods, means and ways of education are improper, and it is necessary to educate children in early English, but reasonable and scientific education methods must be adopted, which puts higher demands on parents. Some parents often have poor educational results because of improper educational methods. (1) only pays attention to the actual English education and training, but ignores the cultivation of interest. Some parents don't understand the correct scientific education methods and laws, but out of the desire for success, they put pressure on their children blindly, making them boring to practice oral English and memorizing repeated words, but they ignore the most important point-interest is the best teacher, but they don't know "sharpening the knife and cutting the wood by mistake" Interest is the starting point and motivation for children to carry out all activities and is the best teacher for children. The Analects of Confucius said: "Those who know are not as good as those who do." Good people are not as good as happy people. The famous educator Froebel once said, "Children are like thirsty seedlings, they need water and nutrients, and naturally want to grow up naturally and healthily in a suitable environment. They need to understand activities, stimulate and cultivate their interests, and they should take the initiative to develop themselves. " Psychologists and educators agree that if a person has a strong interest in something, he will study hard consciously and make him engage in this activity with dedicated energy and selfless spirit. When children are interested in English, they will feel that learning English is a pleasure rather than a burden, and truly achieve the educational purpose of entertaining. Therefore, the ultimate effect of carrying out English education activities depends to a great extent on whether children's interest in English is aroused. For example, a parent insists that his child recite three English words every day, and the requirements are very strict. Once a child fails to meet the requirements, he will be reprimanded for not being serious, not working hard, and even forced to learn English twice as a punishment. Over time, children will become interested in English. Obviously, this parent does not pay attention to the cultivation of children's interest in English activities, but blindly asks too much and is eager to achieve success. On the contrary, the education effect is not ideal. Another example is that when teaching children English, parents are not eager to teach their children boring English knowledge, but pay attention to guiding their children to have a strong interest in English activities. English is a new subject for children and it is easy to arouse their interest. This kind of parents usually pay attention to random education and inspiration for their children in combination with various activities or in daily life. Once, parents were peeling apples and casually said to their children, "I peeled an apple." The child thought it was very interesting, so he asked his parents to teach him the English name of the apple. The parent also taught the children English nursery rhymes of "Divide the Fruits and Divide the Fruits" according to the situation. Because learning English is fun for children, he doesn't have a clear purpose and careful plan, and he doesn't take it as a task or pressure. He just studies randomly in daily life on the basis of temporary interest, so the child is very happy and happy in his study, which can fully mobilize his various senses. Obviously, it is very important to cultivate children's interest in early English development activities. (2) In children's English education activities, it is very necessary to memorize and train words and phrases, because this is the premise and foundation of learning English well. However, in the process of knowledge transfer, we can't ignore the cultivation of children's various abilities, such as the cultivation of children's oral expression ability and the cultivation of children's ability to distinguish English. The ancients said, "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish". It is better to teach children to know with wisdom. Cultivating children's English ability and enlightening their minds is indeed a longer-term educational strategy, but some parents don't know enough about it. For example, the parent mentioned above asked his child to recite three English words and some phrases every day, but the parents did not give the child the necessary inspiration and help. After studying for a few days, the child shouted that he didn't want to learn. Obviously, this tedious mechanical training and rote memorization is unbearable, and it will also erode their interest in English learning. On the contrary, if we can pay attention to the development of children's abilities in daily study and life and in interesting games, we will certainly achieve better results and lay a good foundation for future education. (3) When evaluating children's English learning activities, some parents only pay attention to the final result and ignore the final learning process. I often hear some parents praise their children and say: XX children are really smart, how many English words they can recite and how many English nursery rhymes they can sing. The learning result can really reflect the learning process, but it can't accurately reflect the learning process. Adults' evaluation of the results of activities often limits the development of children's ability in the learning process. Children behave well and are willing to be praised by others, so in order to gain recognition and praise from adults, he mechanically memorizes some words and nursery rhymes, but ignores the development of other abilities in the learning process. Early children's English education activities aim at developing children's intelligence, developing children's various abilities, cultivating children's interest in English activities, and enabling children to actively learn simple English knowledge and common sense in daily life and various game activities. It is not recommended that children memorize many words and sentences mechanically. In English education activities, children are interested in learning English. More importantly, children's abilities in all aspects have been developed in this process. Therefore, when evaluating children's English activities, we should unify the process and results of the activities to achieve harmony and unity. It is necessary to evaluate both the process and the result of the activity, depending on what the child has learned and how he learned it. Only in this way can English education activities achieve good results. (4) Some parents complain that their children have failed to live up to expectations and can't learn anything. I didn't know that my child didn't learn English well in kindergarten until I asked, so I took the initiative to enroll my child in several English classes. As everyone knows, contrary to expectations, children's grades did not go up, and their interest in learning was greatly reduced. According to the survey, 47% of children's parents have signed up for other English classes in kindergartens that offer English classes, which means that children must go outside to continue their studies after learning English in kindergartens every day, and sometimes they must study on time even on weekends and holidays. Some parents think that only in this way can their children learn more and better English. In fact, parents' original intention is good. Some children's English level has really improved greatly, but it takes children a lot of time, and it is easy to reduce their interest in learning English over time. Thirdly, there are many early English education factions in the society, all of which have their own educational ideas and teaching methods, and their pronunciations are different, so children should not learn this and that, so parents had better choose the one suitable for their children to learn. Children's English ability is gradually improved in daily life, so don't rush to achieve success. Parents should avoid "rushing to the doctor" to make things counterproductive. In addition, parents should also pay attention to creating opportunities for their children in the process of learning, so that children can be in a bilingual environment as much as possible. Only in this environment can children learn English knowledge and skills more easily. English is a language, and only by speaking more can we learn it well. In daily life, parents should consciously guide their children to speak more English, praise and encourage them more, and let them further strengthen their interest in activities under the stimulation and encouragement of adults, thus forming a virtuous circle. To sum up, parents have a good starting point and desire to guide their children's English education activities, but there are many misunderstandings in specific methods, which make the results of educational activities unsatisfactory and fail to achieve the expected results. Therefore, parents who are eager for their children's success should pay attention to methods and skills when educating their children in English, so as to truly achieve the purpose of developing intelligence, cultivating interest and improving ability.
