Language is not only a tool, but also an expression of thinking. Cultivating English thinking in early childhood will provide a foundation for learning English and play a vital role in future English learning. Let children think in English first, and then express themselves satisfactorily in English; If you think in Chinese first and then express it in English, it is Chinglish. As parents, we need to help our children develop the habit of thinking in English and learn the ability to think in English imperceptibly.
Provide an English environment
Scientific research has proved that 0-6 years old is the sensitive period of language, the best time for infants to learn language and the best time for infants to learn English at an early age. Insist on listening to English songs to children every day, so that children can enjoy a "music bath" while learning the language and let their brains enjoy a nutritious meal. Beautiful melody can promote children's physical and mental health, greatly stimulate the activity of cranial nerves, sublimate the potential of the brain, and then achieve the special effect of developing children's intelligence.
Cultivate children's interest in learning English
Learning a language is actually a very natural and pleasant thing. It is the key to open the door to another world, broaden people's horizons and experience the culture of another country. However, most children in China learn English to cope with various exams. They emphasize memorizing grammar and vocabulary, but they fall behind in listening and speaking. This directly leads to the decrease of children's interest in learning English, and learning English has become a flexible and passive learning. Most of the time, it is rote memorization, sharpening the gun at the last minute, not learning and forgetting after the exam, resulting in an embarrassing situation of learning nothing. If children can lay a good foundation before going to school, it will be much easier to go to school. With self-confidence, their interest in English will be stronger.
