Is the method of learning English by watching movies suitable for children?
English learning can be accomplished by watching movies, but is watching movies suitable for children? Children's English experts point out that 3-6 years old is a critical period for children's English learning, and children of this age have superior imitation, understanding, memory and physiological advantages. Children have advantages in English learning, so they should use the right methods to get twice the result with half the effort. There is no denying that any language learning begins with listening, so English learning should also begin with cultivating children's English ears, and listening is the first. Children's language ability is often heard from the surrounding environment. Therefore, a completely British growth environment allows children to learn foreign languages quickly. In this respect, movies are obviously the best, and this teaching method of entertaining is adopted by more and more people. Movies bring English to life. In fact, the method of learning English by watching foreign movies has a long history in China. Most of the older generation of American writers and scholars in China had the experience of watching movies to learn English. Nowadays, learning English by watching movies has become a common method in adult English teaching. Some famous English training institutions in China have specially set up similar training courses to train students' oral English ability by watching classic movies. Learning English by watching movies means looking at the surface and listening to the principle. The biggest advantage of this method is that it can exercise listening. Listening to movies is not as boring as listening to tapes. The audience can feel the meaning of lines through the logical reasoning of story development. In addition, in vocabulary learning, we can analyze the usage of vocabulary in detail, dig out the deep meaning of words, and have an all-round understanding of vocabulary, rather than just staying on words. In addition, by watching movies, the audience can learn more about western culture, appreciate the differences in values between the East and the West, turn language into real communication, and make English "live". Choosing the right teaching material is the key to choosing the right learning method for children, and it is also the key to children's English training. The problem of teaching material is very important. In the selection of teaching materials, we should strive to meet the physical and mental characteristics of children, pay attention to the content that children are interested in, can understand and easily absorb in personal experience and daily life, be lively and interesting, be full of childlike interest, and be close to children's life and emotional preferences. The difficulty is not only in line with the development characteristics of children of all ages, but also slightly higher than their age level, so that children will not find it too difficult but also challenging. Some products made up of classic cartoons are full of childlike interest, such as Mickey Mouse, Snow White, Cinderella and Aladdin's magic lamp, which are familiar to children, so that children in China can learn English happily in an interesting story environment. In addition, while watching movies, some word cards, reading exercises and listening exercises are combined into a systematic study plan, which teaches children English learning from listening, speaking, reading, writing, practicing and playing, and guides them to learn English step by step.
