Now all kinds of children's English training institutions can be seen everywhere, and all kinds of advertisements can also be seen everywhere. When we are faced with so many training courses and training institutions, how should we choose the one that suits our children best?
1, teacher
When parents choose English training institutions, they must not choose institutions with high teacher turnover rate. Changing teachers frequently will have a certain impact on children's English learning, and it will take some time to adapt to the new teacher. Children are very dependent on their teachers. Changing teachers frequently will make children lose patience and even feel disgusted with English learning, so you should know the situation of school teachers before choosing.
Before signing up, parents had better take their children into the classroom to listen to the course. When parents are listening, they can observe whether the teacher can take care of every student and give every student a chance to speak.
2. Class size
If you are a child in kindergarten, it is recommended that the class size should not exceed 8. Children in kindergarten are very active and have little concept of classroom discipline. If there are too many classes, it is difficult for teachers to take care of them. It takes a lot of time to attend classes just to rectify classroom discipline.
If children are in primary school, they generally know to abide by classroom discipline. But it is also suggested that the number of people should not exceed 10. Children of this age are easy to accept. Generally speaking, they will learn English mainly in oral expression and pronunciation. Only by teaching in small classes can children have more opportunities to practice oral English.
3. Foreign teacher or Chinese teacher?
Many parents think that choosing a foreign teacher for class will be more helpful for their children to learn English, but it is not. If children who have no English foundation directly choose foreign teachers to attend classes, it will not only waste money, but also waste time, and it will easily make children lose interest in English. Parents should first choose to let their children follow Mr. China's course, and then choose a foreign teacher when their children reach a certain level. Moreover, it will be easier for children to understand when they choose to teach grammar, sentence patterns and pronunciation skills. When parents encounter difficulties in tutoring their children in English, they can communicate with Chinese teachers in time to find a solution. Foreign teachers can't do this.
How do pupils learn English well?
"Interest is the best teacher." Beginners must imitate if they want to learn English well. It is undoubtedly a good imitation method to read the sentence patterns, texts, famous sayings, excellent English poems and essays they have learned. By reading aloud, you can train correct pronunciation and intonation and cultivate your ability to use language orally. With this ability, it lays the foundation for speaking English boldly. From one sentence to two sentences, from less to more, I have the confidence to learn, so the more I learn, the more I want to learn and the more interested I am in learning.
1, review after class and preview in advance
After coming back from school, let the children review what they learned that day, read, translate and recite. Preview what you will learn the next day with your children. Look at the words in the text first and underline them. Then, refer to the list of words at the back of the textbook, write down the meanings of the following words, and then read them twice with the example sentences to practice your pronunciation. For children with poor foundation, this can reduce the pressure of his class and cultivate his habit of previewing. Review the preview and teach the children to learn 26 English letters (5 vowels, 2 1 consonant).
2. Apply what you have learned in your daily life.
What children learn is very close to life, and they talk in daily life. For example, where should I put my schoolbag? In bed. Where's Melser? At thepencilbox. Even if it is word training, exercise children's familiarity with words, for example, putonyourselts/sweet and so on. This learning method is much better than simply reading books.
3. Play games with children.
When learning the words of nose, hands, face, mouth and other body parts, you can play the game of nose and eyes with your children, which can arouse their enthusiasm, and children are willing to learn in this relaxed and happy environment. Don't forget to combine the facts when learning words. It is best to have complete sentence nesting to help memory.
4. Insist on studying every day
In addition to reviewing the previews, after teaching children 26 letters, insist that children spell 5- 10 words every day. One is to practice the recognition of 26 letters, and the other is to practice words so as to review and learn new things. Listen to English every day, buy some children's English nursery rhymes and play them for children before going to bed. They will be lullabies. A few songs will be learned in the following textbooks, and the children will be very happy. After a period of hard work, children will no longer be afraid of learning English, but will be very interested and confident, speak actively in class and become activists completely.
After entering the second grade, the words in the textbook are longer, the verbs are more, and the sentence patterns are more difficult. It is necessary to teach children to read and memorize sentence patterns. Even students in high schools and universities don't need many exams. In the final analysis, new words can't be read, it's harder to recite, and so are sentences. I don't understand any sentence elements at all. These are the most basic things to learn English. Therefore, children who are just beginning to learn English must pay attention to the learning methods of words, phrases and sentence patterns. If they master these methods, it is easy to learn any words, phrases and sentence patterns.
5. Learn to remember words
Words are the basis of English learning. Remember words mainly in spelling, pronunciation, meaning and part of speech.
It is easier to remember spelling by memorizing syllables. What is a syllable? Usually there are several vowels (A, E, I, O, U) or a combination of several vowels (a combination of vowels and vowels; A combination of vowels and consonants), which has several syllables.
For example, there are two vowels o in the word pho-to; , with two syllables, pho-to；;
The word ca-me-ra； has three vowels, so it has three syllables, ca-me-ra;
The word weather has two combinations: ea and er; , so there are two syllables, Dai-another;
The word rain has only the combination of ai, so it has only one syllable.
The division of syllables should also pay attention to a problem, the distribution of consonants. If there is only one consonant between vowels or combinations, this consonant belongs to the following syllable; If there are two consonants, the syllable in front of the first consonant cabinet and the second consonant belong to the later syllable.
For example, pic, there are two combinations of I and ure in the word, so there are two syllables with two consonants C and T in the middle, so C belongs to the previous syllable and T belongs to the latter syllable, which is pic-picture；;
For example, the word colour has two vowel combinations, O and our, which are divided into two syllables, but there is only one consonant in the middle, so L belongs to the later syllable, which is co-lour.
When learning words, it is very important to grasp this rule.
In addition, regarding pronunciation, it is also very important to master the correct pronunciation when you first come into contact with a new word. Just like a person's first impression, it is more difficult to correct pronunciation and name in the future. Moreover, children often only remember spelling but not pronunciation, which is also the direct cause of dumb English, and they can only read but not read. We must pay attention to the pronunciation of words. Only when you read it correctly can you say it well. How wonderful it is to have fluent English. Pronunciation includes correct letter pronunciation and stress. The pronunciation of each letter is expressed by phonetic symbols, so you must read and remember it well with the supporting tapes and CDs. If there are ready-made phonetic symbols, it is better to learn them systematically. There are 48 phonetic symbols.
6. Words mean things that students are familiar with.
Part of speech, which is easily overlooked by students, does not appear in the fourth book, but it is a very basic part of learning English. We must master the basic characteristics of various parts of speech and lay a good foundation for future English learning.
We have to accumulate a large number of words and recite English as a language, but we have no language environment. We only have to recite a lot and strengthen our reserves to pave the way for future use. Just like a computer, in a new computer, the input material file must be stored first, and then it is possible to output the file. That's the reason.
English is a tool and English is a bridge. It is very important to learn English well, so from now on, master good learning methods, cultivate good study habits, lay a good foundation for learning, prepare for future self-study and prepare for future progress and promotion.
Matters needing attention
First: Have you mastered all the words you have learned?
Second: most of the texts in the book need to be recited.
Third, we should master some simple sentence structures.
Fourth: Notes need to be recited and mastered.
