First of all, watching original animated short films or movies can train children's listening and enhance their sense of language. Before imitating and following up, children are advised to watch the whole animated short film/movie. After they are familiar with the plot, let them use 2-3 minutes as a paragraph (the length can be adjusted according to the children's English level) and consciously follow and imitate it. In this process, we should pay attention to the pronunciation of the words themselves and the pronunciation and intonation of sentences in different situations. Just like we learn Chinese, this situation will directly affect the intonation of sentences. At this stage, children can use dubbing software, and their original animated short films or movies are relatively short and pause, which is convenient for practice. Repeated imitation and reading aloud can improve children's interest in learning English.
Secondly, children's songs with slow speed and clear intonation are repeated sentence by sentence. Children can choose to listen to children's songs or simple animated songs. Most children's songs are slow in rhythm, clear in pronunciation and intonation, and difficult to understand. Animated songs can be played repeatedly with animation, grinding ears and laying a good foundation for future imitation. However, parents should pay attention to one thing. Emphasis is placed on correcting pronunciation here, so you don't need to cooperate with the text in the process of listening. What's the point? Listen. , not? Do you see it? .
Finally, children's language learning needs not only input, but also timely output. At this stage, children's communication environment is particularly important. Parents should first improve the accuracy of daily English pronunciation and English literacy before trying to talk to their children. Secondly, they should consciously have a simple English conversation with their children. I believe that after children imitate for a period of time, their pronunciation and intonation will be greatly improved and increased.
