The second grade of primary school learns the first book of new concepts, and the third grade of primary school children are about to learn the second book of new concepts. What did the children learn from Teacher Cai?

Without new concept English textbooks, I can't talk about this problem. Compared with the current popular communicative English textbooks, the new concept English textbooks are a bit "old-fashioned" in form and content. But to me, she is a godsend. After my child learns English well, I really want him to learn French, but because I can't find a textbook similar to New Concept English in French textbooks, I simply gave up this plan.

We don't use new concept English to "learn", we use it to "recite". The new concept text is moderate in length. Children read an article every week for seven days (30 minutes a day). We achieve a goal through this repeated recitation, that is, to produce conditioned reflex to English sentences and words.

The essence of language is "conditioned reflex". The magic weapon for us to learn a foreign language is "repeating" recitation. Repetition is often boring. Why do I say that New Concept English is a godsend? Because the text context of New Concept English is quite humorous. If you change to any other teaching materials, it is mostly a one-build, one-build situational dialogue. If you repeat this boring conversation, you are either crazy or stupid.

Interesting is the last word. Because it was interesting, the children remembered the story scene, the sentences in the scene and the words in the sentences. In fact, it is wrong to say "remember". To be exact, it is a conditioned reflex to situational sentences and words. In this way, we have solved the problem of "unable to remember" when learning English. All memories will be forgotten, but conditioned reflex transcends memory, so there is no forgetting problem.

This method of learning English is called comprehensible language input method, which is a classic method of second language acquisition. Children in primary school are ignorant in thinking, but sensitive in mind, which is the window period for learning a foreign language in this way. This window period can be said to be now or never.

But as an English teacher, my biggest confusion is that not many people can really believe and practice my ideas.

The general situation is that they can't fully agree with my strategic plan for children's primary school:-In my cognition, as long as you learn English well in primary school, it is a complete success, and with the accumulation of a lot of mother tongue reading, the education in primary school is complete and perfect. But this arrangement is too unpretentious for parents who want to pursue their children.

They often need to learn eighteen martial arts or insect carving skills with fashion aura. They don't know any insect carving skills. Even if you study an impressive degree, you can only count as having a beautiful island. But after reading it, it is possible for a person to own the whole universe.

What's more, our mother tongue reading and English reading are two tracks, and the two tracks are parallel in loneliness. There are too many kinds of fashion aura, which will inevitably destroy children's quiet mind and lead to the failure of the dual-track system to operate normally.

Loneliness is a terrible word for modern people. But unfortunately, whenever it is the turn to study, it is a lonely game. Only a quiet mind can see the surrounding scenery as clearly as a calm pool.

According to the cases I encountered in the teaching process, phenomena can be used to intuitively understand what a silent heart is:

New Concept English Book 1 sentence 1 91Do you like stories? Some children read stories as stories and miss the pronunciation of an s, because the plural form of story represents such things as stories that exist in the world. Do you like stories? It's a real sick sentence.

My new concept English learning method or comprehensible language input method requires accurate input and cannot miss a sound. In order to achieve this accuracy, children need to relax and be alert.

Do you like stories?

Do you like stories?

Do you like stories?

………………………………

Read this text for seven days in a row and repeat this sentence n times a day for seven days, but I didn't hear an S at the end of the story. Then this matter is worth mentioning and making a big review:-What is blocking the child's ears?

The problem reflected by a small S, in my opinion, is a "bloody case". In my opinion, the channels for children to receive external information are not smooth. The most likely reason is that the child has lost his silent heart. Just like the waves and chaos on the surface of the pond can't see the surrounding scenery clearly, the child's heart is not quiet, and he can't absorb information naturally and unimpeded.

Nowadays, children are rich in information and have seen the world since childhood, but a quiet heart is a scarce resource. But in this way, children can easily lose the window period of learning a language well, which is very embarrassing.

What is the significance of learning English well in the window of childhood?

The daughter of a colleague of mine, who used to be a schoolmaster, was finally admitted to Peking University. I clearly remember that she once told me that she spent 50% of her energy on English in high school and brushed a lot of English papers for the college entrance examination. My own children, who learn English by reading aloud input method during the window period, have never brushed an English test paper in the second day of junior high school, so they can cope with English freely in the college entrance examination. Solving the exam-oriented problem of English is only a by-product. Window reading input method can really make a person master the language in this life. Other children study English for exams, from primary school to junior high school to senior high school to university. I don't know how much effort and precious time they have spent. In the end, they learn English exams instead of English itself. This huge waste of time and resources has reached a painful level, so that some committee members put forward the suggestion of abolishing English as a compulsory subject in China schools.

Think about it, if we can avoid this unnecessary waste, we can really master this language through the language window of children's primary school, and at the same time "by the way" solve the exam-taking problem of this subject. The benefits cannot be overstated. The exam-taking problem was just solved by the way. The important thing is that you already have a skill.

Even a skill is only a by-product. Our English reading method is also called shadow reading method, which requires children to pay close attention and distinguish accurately in order to have clear input and output. Fingers are connected to the heart, and mouth is connected to the brain. Children's follow-up training day after day is equivalent to doing a set of intellectual gymnastics every day. After years of listening and reading training, your cerebral cortex has been reconstructed, your mind has been cultivated, and you seem to have got through the second pulse of Ren Du …

Exam is always a big event, parents are very concerned, I understand. But English learning is regular.

The second situation I encountered was that parents paid too much attention to their children's English achievements at school. When the school's English scores are not ideal. I began to doubt Cai's English learning method. Is it effective? Is it suitable for their children?

In this case, I must declare that my English learning method is most suitable for children in the primary school window, but not all children are suitable. Even if it is a really suitable child, its conditions are quite harsh.

(1) touching mobile phones, iPad and watching TV, the intense stimulation of sound, light and electricity makes the brain paralyzed, which is inappropriate.

② There are too many learning contents, too many interest classes and too much mental consumption, which is not suitable.

Obsessed with a certain activity, addicted to it, unable to pull it out, too much mental energy consumption, not suitable.

(4) Those who have participated in too many halo events (such as various competitions, etc.). ) and those who are used to being busy and unwilling to be lonely are not suitable.

Say these words. I'm not necessarily in the mood to say what follows.

In other words, the child is still in primary school. If your child wants to find a more traditional teacher who is good at exams because of poor school performance, then the future is likely to be worrying. Not to mention that the exam is too long, just think about the proposal of the members who are resting. The key point is that there is no technical content in classroom English in primary schools, and there is no need for teachers who are good at extracurricular examinations to endorse them. The failure of primary school English test reflects (and only reflects) children's psychological problems, such as rough hair and impetuous mentality.

Such a child just needs an operable mechanism to regulate his or her learning behavior and gradually optimize his or her mind through this mechanism.

This mechanism is the "new concept English reading method".
