Several principles for preschool children to learn English, many parents want their children to be excellent, so they want their children to learn a foreign language, such as English, from an early age, which is far superior to other children. Now I will share with you some principles for preschool children to learn English.

Several principles for preschool children to learn English 1 1. Principles for children to learn English

1, the earlier children learn English, the better. Every child's growth, development and acceptance are different, so parents should choose the opportunity to learn English according to their children's acceptance. Nowadays, many children learn both pinyin and English, which is often confusing. They should wait until the children have a certain ability to distinguish. Of course, the most important thing is to follow the wishes of children, and never force them. If children are interested, then learning is not difficult and learning will be effective.

2. Create a good language environment. Teachers and parents should have a solid and correct basic knowledge of English, standard and fluent spoken English, and at the same time create a colorful and diverse language environment for children to practice and use foreign languages. For example, using pictures, talking, singing, games and performances that children like to help them learn English is also helpful to cultivate their interest in learning English. At the same time, parents should be careful not to deal with children casually. Parents and teachers teach differently, which will cause great confusion to children's learning.

3. Language learning should be persistent. Language learning is a long and arduous process. In English learning, it is forbidden to fish for three days and surf the Internet for two days. Children often just want to be fresh for a while, which requires the supervision and promotion of parents. It is better for children to start school late than to give up halfway in a few days.

4. Don't rush for success, which will cause the child's psychological burden. Many parents will ask their teachers anxiously and doubtfully: What English have you been teaching recently? Why can't our children speak a word of English when they come home? Obviously, parents must often ask their children what English they learned in kindergarten, whether they can speak or sing English songs. Children may not want to talk about it, or they may not be clear at the familiar stage, but parents' urging will reduce their interest in learning English over time, and at the same time they will be less confident and unwilling to talk about it.

5. Listen before you speak. When children learn English in early childhood, don't rush to let them speak, but cultivate their interest in listening first, so that listening comes before speaking. Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the rules for children to learn a second language. Alexander, the author of New Concept English, emphasizes that listening is the first step to master English, and listening before speaking is the characteristic and law of children's language learning, which is also conducive to building children's self-confidence in English learning. Children can only use language after a period of silence to absorb it. Therefore, parents and teachers don't have to put too much emphasis on letting their children speak English. They can listen to more English tapes for their children, provide them with an atmosphere of daily English education, and wait, observe and educate them patiently.

6. Don't neglect other aspects of learning. Many parents want their children to learn English well, so they invest more time and energy in this area, but their children's development should be all-round. Don't just focus on learning English and ignore other aspects of education.

Besides the above six principles, what else should preschool children pay attention to when learning English?

Second, children's attention to learning English

Choose a good textbook. The teaching materials we are talking about include not only books, newspapers and picture books, but also audio, video and TV programs. The forms and versions of teaching materials can be varied. Carefully choose teaching materials, not too many kinds, preferably videos or TV programs, and then study systematically according to this teaching material.

2. Pay attention to pronunciation. Parents play a very important role in children's English learning. If parents attach great importance to their children's learning and create a positive English conversation atmosphere for their children, it will be of great benefit to their learning. However, some parents' English is Chinese. If they don't correct it, it's easy to make children's pronunciation inaccurate, and it's hard to correct it when they are older. So parents should teach their children to pay attention to pronunciation. If they are not sure, they should try to let their children learn from teachers or TV.

Several principles for preschool children to learn English 2 Although preschool children are at a lower level than older children or adults in terms of learning purpose, persistence and understanding, it is undeniable that they have good potential in language learning.

So, how old is a child suitable for learning English? If you are in a completely bilingual environment, for example, one parent speaks English, the other speaks Chinese, and other companions also speak two languages, then learning two languages can be synchronized naturally. However, in China, there are few complete bilingual environments. Children are exposed to limited English in a limited time and place and in a limited way, mainly in the Chinese environment. In this environment, it is more appropriate for children to start learning English after mastering their mother tongue (usually at the age of two or three).

So, how should preschool children learn English?

First of all, we should cultivate preschool children's interest in learning English, and initially have the language application ability of simple life and daily activities communication. The key point is to accumulate a lot of listening experience, and on this basis, to initially develop oral expression ability, while memorizing letters, spelling words and reciting sentence patterns should not be the main content of learning. At this point, parents should be sober and patient enough, tolerate their children's silence, accept their children's delayed imitation behavior, and don't urge or force their children to "speak", "read" and "write quickly" from the beginning, so as not to dampen their enthusiasm for learning and regard English learning as a chore and burden.

Next, children learn English, and preschool children learn English in combination with their daily life and game activities. On the one hand, the content of learning must be interesting and familiar to children, such as painting, playing house, eating cold drinks and visiting; The learning process should fully mobilize children's visual, auditory and physical activities. Let's take English as an example to introduce several effective methods.

Children learn English-Total Activity Response (TPR): This method is mainly used by adults to instruct activities in English, such as "close your eyes and don't raise your head", and then children gradually make corresponding body movements by themselves. Using TPR teaching method, children will not avoid it because they can't understand or speak, and often take an active part in activities by using natural action imitation. After many "instructions", they will naturally understand and learn to express. In the process of activities, the more special and interesting the action required by the instruction, the higher the interest of children's activities and the better the effect of language learning.

Children learn English-game activity edification method: language learning is combined with children's daily game activities, and adults use English to organize children to draw, count, make by hand and play in a doll's house. In the whole game activity, adults use simple English and gestures to guide children's games, and only respond to children's demands and opinions in English, so a miniature English environment is created for children at a specific time. In the early stage of children's learning, adults should use a lot of gestures, actions and pictures to help children understand the purpose, requirements and methods of activities; With the progress of learning, adults can gradually reduce the number of auxiliary methods and let children learn to communicate with others in English.

Children learn English-cartoon learning method: If parents or teachers have limited English level and can't organize activities effectively in English, they can provide children with good tools to learn English with the help of videos, VCD or game software. In the process of watching cartoons, although children's attention is focused on interesting characters, gorgeous colors and funny plots, they can be familiar with English pronunciation in the process of watching them repeatedly and automatically match the pronunciation with the plot step by step, which lays the foundation for their further study. When watching, adults should not repeatedly ask "what do you say" and "what do you mean", and don't rush to explain to children. Instead, we should encourage them to guess the meaning of the dialogue according to the pictures and imitate the comments of the characters. On this basis, adults can also guess with children, or discuss with children according to the description of the story to help children gradually combine the dialogue with the plot. If conditions permit, adults with good English can also be invited to watch with their children, so as to achieve the purpose of listening, understanding and liking English.

In addition, adults can also use English songs, ballads and nursery rhymes to expose children to a wide range of English language materials and gain a rich audio-visual experience.
