Many introverted children are like this. He didn't dare to take the initiative to create opportunities to speak, but wanted to have an environment where he could practice speaking.
So at this time, parents need to do two things most: one is to create a pure English environment for their children and encourage them to speak, and the other is to help them overcome their fears and speak on their own initiative.
Specifically, parents can do this:
1. Ask a one-on-one online foreign teacher for your child, so that your child can have a pure English communication environment and no one else is around, so that introverted children will not be afraid to speak;
2. In family daily life, encourage children to speak the English they have learned from foreign teachers. Parents can encourage their children in family situations, for example, when eating, they can encourage their children to say something about eating or ordering food, so that children dare to speak English in front of familiar people;
3. Build confidence in children and overcome the fear of communication. You can encourage your children to participate in speech contests and English dubbing competitions, so that they can break through in the first time, and gradually they will become more confident and dare to speak.
Our family is also an introverted girl, who is afraid to speak when she meets strangers, let alone foreigners. In order to encourage and help her children, we chose a foreign teacher class in Arazo, but she was afraid to speak at first. After several visits, she felt much better and took the initiative to say hello to the teacher.
More than half a year has passed, and spoken English has improved obviously. We will guide our children step by step. The most important thing is to build her self-confidence and encourage her to break through. Now she speaks English fluently.
Parents' guidance and help are very important for introverted children to improve their English, so parents must help their children patiently.
