Early childhood is a critical period for language development. Only when children learn to speak can they express their wishes in correct sentences, communicate freely with others and better accept the knowledge and experience taught by adults. Therefore, it is an arduous task for kindergarten educators to improve children's language expression ability under the new situation. So how to cultivate children's good language skills?
1 Read more and develop children's language in understanding the surrounding environment?
Children can only develop in interaction with the environment. Children's language learning is related to their surroundings. Let the environment stimulate children's interest in language, create conditions for children according to the characteristics of children's intuitive perception, enrich life content, observe things in life, develop children's language, and let children read more. In winter, I hollowed out radish in the natural science corner of my class, planted garlic in it and sprinkled wheat. And ask children to carefully observe their growth process, for example, in snowy days, let children go to see the snow scene and pick up snowflakes. The children observed that the snowflake had six petals, one after another, falling in groups. Guide the children to look at the house more. The trees and the ground are covered with snow and the scenery is beautiful. Then ask the children some enlightening questions: "What is this snow like?" Some children said, "Like snow-white cotton." Some said, "Like sugar." Some said, "Like a thick blanket." Children describe snow and appreciate snow scenes according to their own life experiences, which enriches the language vocabulary of infants and young children accordingly. ?
2 Listen more to make children interested in talking?
As we all know, everyone likes to listen to good words and wants to be affirmed and praised by others, let alone a child. In class, I prepared many beautiful small prizes according to the psychological characteristics of children who like praise and small gifts and prizes to encourage them to have the desire to talk. For example, when I appreciate the story "The Adventures of the Deer", if anyone answers the small animal correctly, I will reward him with a small five-pointed star or a small red flower, which greatly stimulates the children's desire to express themselves and makes them scramble to answer the questions. Children's language ability is accumulated in use. Simple collective language teaching activities are far from satisfying children's language development. Therefore, in the usual teaching, I often use this method to encourage children to speak. For timid children, there is an adaptation process in the face of collective attention. Facing the group directly will make children feel great pressure, which may change from initial timidity to fear. Being able to speak boldly in front of strangers or everyone is one of their growing processes. In teaching, guide children to observe in a planned way and stimulate their interest in learning. For example, in spring, before telling children the story in Spring, tell them: "When spring comes, trees, weather, people, flowers, grass and small animals have changed. As soon as I saw these changes, I knew that spring was coming. People and children should look for it. I'll tell you what happened in spring. " After the child comes home, watch carefully and look for it. After the teacher finished the story, he asked them, "Besides the changes of trees, grass and small animals in the story, how do you know that spring is coming?" Children speak on their own initiative according to their own observation and judgment and personal experience. The child said, "The swallow flew back; Mother frog has a little tadpole; Grass slipped out of the soil; It's spring, and my father can take me to fly kites. ?
For example, when we teach children the word "colorful", we take them to the beautiful flower bed outside the classroom and show them what colors the flowers are. The children looked and said, "Red, yellow, white …" and then asked them to count how many colors there were. They counted several kinds, and the teacher told them, "The flowers are really beautiful, and the colors are really beautiful." The children immediately understood the meaning of the words, and when they reached another flower bed, they said it themselves. ?
Picture books in kindergartens are children's spiritual food and a favorite literary form. Its vivid and lovely image and bright and beautiful colors are deeply loved by children. Teachers and parents should guide and teach children how to read. After reading, please tell the story in the picture according to your own understanding and imagination. You can start with children's favorite books, let them enjoy and read them, and ask them what's going on. Ask children to describe their understanding of the reading materials. Teachers and adults do not judge children's explanations (be quitters and observers), and actively encourage children to express things in their own language. ?
This not only enriches their knowledge, but also develops their language expression ability. ?
3 communicate more and cultivate children to pay attention to listening?
Training children to pay attention to listening is the premise of developing children's expressive ability. When children learn a language, they must first learn to listen, listen accurately and understand, and then they can imitate it correctly. Children actively create a listening environment, which can be varied. Listen to CD-ROM stories to children, tell stories in turn, invite children to talk, listen to each other and share with each other; Lead children to listen to all kinds of music, the sounds of musical instruments, the sounds of many animals in the zoo ... let children imitate, imagine and say what they hear. Guiding children to tell stories learned from teachers, parents, children and TV, especially after the middle and large classes, can not only cultivate children's language ability, but also cultivate their self-confidence. This is to cultivate the ability to listen to the surrounding activities, enrich the children's hearing organs, and strengthen the ability to analyze the language and sound structure. ?
4 create an environment and opportunities for children to "talk"?
In teaching, in order to improve children's expressive ability, we should not only cultivate children's listening ability, but also cultivate children's oral ability. It is necessary to create a "speaking" environment for children, practice speaking in speaking and improve children's ability. ?
We should often make use of our scattered time such as recess, after dinner, playing games and leaving the park. And talk to children and make friends in a planned and purposeful way. Through conversation, emotional communication with children makes them more intimate, and children are willing to tell the teacher everything, which has a positive effect on developing children's language ability and forming a correct attitude towards things. It is very important to make full use of these opportunities. When the child's language is not correct, the teacher should correct it in time and tell him or her how to express it. Not only can children have the ability of language imitation, but they can also draw inferences from others, enrich the content and express new meanings according to the original language examples, so as to improve their oral expression ability. At the same time, teachers should also pay attention to the use of comprehensive educational means to achieve educational goals. For example, after we finished the story of "Little Tadpole Looking for Mom", let the children make a group of story characters with paper tearing, plasticine and various natural objects; Frogs, tadpoles, geese, turtles, small fish, etc. After doing a good job, let the children demonstrate while talking, which deepened their memory and understanding of the story and mobilized their enthusiasm, creativity and imagination. So that children's ability to appreciate dimensions and language expression can be improved at the same time.
