Today, I will share with parents how to choose English training classes for their children.
1。 English is a language.
Before signing up for an English training class, first popularize a basic cognition for mothers: English is a language.
I hope we can communicate on this premise. As a language, English, like the mother tongue, should be contacted as soon as possible. Facts have proved that children who grow up in more than two languages are often smarter, because the development of language intelligence almost determines the development of the other seven kinds of intelligence.
2。 Age classification of students
Next, the division of training institutions, according to age, we are divided into the following four categories:
Before the age of 3, teach English early.
This is zero-based enlightenment education, and it is the favorite of a new generation of mothers. Many mothers may think that before the age of 3, they can't even speak their mother tongue well, and they can learn any foreign language. However, at this stage, the child is like a blank sheet of paper. If you learn the language of any country for ta, the effect will definitely exceed your imagination.
Representative offices: Gymboree, mygym, Kissing Kangaroo, etc.
3 ~8 years old, children's English
This age group is the golden age for learning a language, and it is also the most competitive age group in the market. There are so many brands to choose from, it's simply too numerous to list.
Representative organizations: EF, Paopao, Libu, purington, Aibei, Berry, Reith, Fica, Thomas, Sesame Street, etc.
8~ 12 years old, primary school English.
Children in primary school, with English scores included in the exam, learning English has become just a need. At present, the optional training institution is mainly K 12 training, but it tends to be in primary school.
Representative offices: Dashan, Sany Foreign Language, Anglo-American, New Oriental, etc.
/kloc-above 0/2 years old, middle school English.
Middle school students, in learning English, should not only have grades, but also have grades. Of course, families planning to go abroad should pay more attention to their grades, because TOEFL IELTS is also a must. At this stage, we should choose the form of extracurricular tutoring in middle schools, one-on-one and one-to-many.
Representative institutions: New Oriental Youneng Middle School, Learning and Thinking, Ruiyuan Education, etc.
It is different for children of different ages to find English training classes. This mother remembers that once I saw a child aged 12 mixed with a group of children aged 3-8 to learn children's English. It was really embarrassing to skip class.
Of course, some mixed-age teaching will also put students of different grades together, but this is in line with the overall teaching logic, rather than forcing "over-aged students" to transfer to children and American classes like curriculum consultants.
Go to the corresponding training institution and find a course suitable for children. This is the direction. If the direction is wrong, no matter how good the organization you are looking for and the excellent teachers are, they are not your child's dish, which may be counterproductive.
