Children's English should start at an early age, and school learning is not all. After class, you can't fall behind in English study. Many parents are hesitant. How do children learn English? Do you want your children to teach themselves English at home, or do you want to enroll them in English training classes? Today, we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of these two learning methods to help parents make more suitable choices for their children.

Family education

1, advantages

Children who study English at home can learn English anytime and anywhere without the limitation of time and space, which can make children regard speaking English as a habit rather than a task from an early age. In the family environment, there are many specific situations that can make children associate. Parents can teach their children everyday English words through any specific items, and they can also communicate with their children in English at any time, so that their children can speak English well in a relaxed atmosphere.

2. Disadvantages

Most parents are not majoring in English or education, and even some parents have no basic knowledge of English. Under such circumstances, parents can neither effectively understand their children's learning status and progress, nor provide them with some professional guidance and suggestions. Some parents whose spoken English pronunciation is not standard will mislead their children to learn standard English pronunciation and expression, which is counterproductive. In addition, family education can only use fragmented time to teach children to learn English, without a systematic input and the focus of teaching content, so it is difficult to consolidate and strengthen children's memory.

Training institutions

1, advantages

Children are distracted and easily attracted by other things in the learning process, thus reducing their learning efficiency. In training institutions, in order to avoid this problem, teachers will design rich content and various forms to enrich their classrooms, and use exaggerated body language and interesting props as an aid to increase the interest of the classroom and make children fall in love with learning English.

Another incomparable advantage of the training class is that foreign teachers can provide children with an all-English language environment. The pronunciation and expression of foreign teachers are pure and authentic, and the teaching mode of one-to-one or one-to-two is different from the Chinglish atmosphere of multi-person teaching. Children can develop a sense of language and English thinking ability through interaction with foreign teachers, thus fundamentally improving their English level.

2. Disadvantages

At present, there are many kinds of English training institutions in the market, and the teaching quality is uneven. Parents are easily deceived by unscrupulous businessmen.

Generally speaking, these two ways of learning English have their own advantages and disadvantages, but training institutions can make children acquire the ability to speak English as naturally as learning their mother tongue, which can avoid parents' worry that their children's English level is not enough to mislead their children. If parents want to effectively improve their children's listening and speaking ability, they may wish to enroll their children in high-quality children's English learning institutions such as training institutions. I believe their English level can be greatly improved.
