Perhaps some parents have such difficulties:
Children are young, some can't even speak words, and their pronunciation in Mandarin is not accurate. It is almost impossible for them to learn spoken English. Think about the examples around you. No child can't speak his mother tongue because of learning English. Moreover, 3 to 8 years old is a critical period of speech development, and it is easier to master another language than adults. Many children can speak the nanny's mother tongue when they are young, but it is difficult for adults to learn it. So let children learn English now, it should be the result of getting twice the result with half the effort.
There is a passage in the English Teaching Method edited by Li Tingxiang, a professor of foreign languages department of Beijing Normal University: "The purpose of learning English is to communicate in English. English should be taught as a communication tool and should also be studied as a communication tool. " It can be seen that we should pay attention to the cultivation of communicative competence in English learning. Primary school English, as a basic education stage, should also take this as the criterion to cultivate students' good oral English. However, we find that some students often get high marks in exams, but it is difficult for them to speak a few words of English fluently. Some students are too shy to take an active part in oral English activities when practicing oral English in class. Some students have no obvious progress and development in listening and speaking ability with the growth of grade ... Faced with this phenomenon, parents should mobilize students' senses such as vision, hearing and oral English through various means in their lives, so that students can learn to speak English and fall in love with speaking English, and then improve their oral English in the process of continuous listening and speaking.
Second, the problems in oral English expression
In communication activities, some students have good ideas, scratching their heads when expressing orally, and the expression is incomplete; Some students are fluent in language and quick-thinking when talking freely, but they will stutter when speaking formally; Some students do well in homework and exams, but they don't raise their hands in class and don't like to talk ... This phenomenon is everywhere, mostly because of the following reasons: students are not interested in spoken English; Inner anxiety and tension; Lack of concentration in expression, personality differences of primary school students, etc. So how can we solve these problems in their oral expression?
Third, create a good family environment.
Spasen said that the first condition for teaching foreign languages well is to let students contact and use foreign languages as much as possible. Learning a foreign language is like learning to swim. Students must soak in water, not touch it occasionally. Students must dive into the water. In this way, he can finally enjoy it like a skilled swimmer. Parents should create more opportunities for students to listen and speak in their lives.
Confucius, an ancient educator in China, said that "knowledge is not as good as kindness, and kindness is not as good as joy", which shows the importance of interest. Interest is the driving force of learning. Only by stimulating students' strong interest in oral expression can children's oral ability be improved. Situation can stimulate students to speak and provide material for speaking. So as to promote the development of their language use ability. Parents should be good at using various ways to create an atmosphere of oral English expression, create a situation conducive to students' speaking, stimulate students' desire to speak, and let students perceive, communicate and develop language in their lives.
Fourth, the accurate attitude of parents-positioning, the role that parents should play.
Parents are their children's first teachers, and their children's simulation ability is very strong. Parents' attitude largely determines their development. In the process of children's learning oral English and listening, parents should be their role models, guides and study partners. First of all, parents should learn automatically, set a good example for their children, speak English with their children automatically, communicate with their children more, and share the consequences of learning. Secondly, parents should accurately lure their children to learn spoken English to prevent the existence of utilitarian heart. Don't criticize children's peers in their studies, but focus on learning English with interest, so that children can learn English in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. It is best for parents to be their children's study partners, and learn to sing, listen to stories, answer questions, count, draw pictures, tell stories, explore uniquely and find answers with their children.
Fifth, the biggest trouble for children to learn spoken English.
Compare with others. Compared with others, children are frustrated and have rebellious psychology. Therefore, parents should maintain a good attitude and give encouragement and affirmation to their children.
Criticism. Both children and adults want to be appreciated and affirmed by others. Criticism will cause deliberate pressure and destroy people's enthusiasm and enterprising spirit. Avoid saying, "How can you be so stupid! What did you do in class? Don't learn oral English and listening if you come up like this again! " We should sponsor children's learning with appreciation, praise them when they reflect well, and encourage and support their peers when they emerge.
