How to start parent-child English? Parents have always been most concerned about their children's education. Every parent's good wish is "don't let their children lose at the starting line". Parents are more concerned about enlightening their children with parent-child English. Next, I will share how to enlighten my children with parent-child English.
How to carry out parent-child English enlightenment 1 1, read English picture books.
English picture books are generally based on illustrations, supplemented by words, with bright colors and vivid images, which are easy to impress children.
2. Listen to English children's songs.
In the process of language learning, children will go through a period of "silence". During this period, they will only listen and watch, constantly absorb and accumulate vocabulary sentences and prepare for future oral English. Children will learn a lot about English by listening to songs repeatedly. For example, "If you are happy" and "Walking" will teach children many verbs; "Finger Family" will teach children to call many family members; Head, shoulders, knees and toes can teach children the names of body parts.
3. play games.
Children gain knowledge and skills through games, which can create a relaxed and interesting English learning environment. For example, parents can play a game of "imitating animals" with their children. Parents imitate the sounds and movements of animals and let children guess. You can also play hide-and-seek games to let children learn sentence patterns such as "Whewe are you, I am here".
4. Graffiti and painting.
Children like painting, and parents can show their English with their children in the form of pictures. For example, draw an image of a child or an animal, let the child point out where the nose, eyes, mouth, etc. are, and mark the corresponding parts with words. Or draw a bright picture and let the children point out different colors.
5. Parent-child handbook.
Parents can use cardboard, foam board, plasticine and other items to make an animal image that children like, such as dogs, cats, sheep and so on. Let the children know its English name and point out its body parts.
6. Daily scene dialogue.
Careful parents can use the dribs and drabs of daily life to infiltrate English into their children. For example, get up in the morning and say "good morning, it's time to get up"; In the street, say "be careful of cars"; In the park, say, "Look, how beautiful these flowers are!" " .
How to carry out parent-child English enlightenment II. What should children pay attention to in English enlightenment?
1, children should learn English early to avoid being influenced by exam-oriented education.
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. The best way to show English acquisition is to cultivate English language sense and establish English thinking, so that children can truly feel the culture behind English.
However, in English teaching in China, many children are struggling to cope with all kinds of exams. Teachers put more emphasis on memorizing grammar and vocabulary, ignoring children's listening and speaking ability, which is easy for children to develop "dumb English" and have resistance to English. In order to avoid this situation, parents should try their best to let their children learn English as soon as possible, so that they are not influenced by traditional teaching methods, and they should attach importance to listening and speaking ability, so that children can develop correct learning methods from an early age.
2. Children's English enlightenment should focus on cultivating children's interest.
As parents, we need to be clear that children learn English very differently from adults. Adults' thinking mode has been formed, so learning English depends on strong memory ability, but children are different, and their thinking mode has not yet been formed. Parents should seize this golden age, cultivate their children's English thinking and let them learn authentic expressions.
Second, how to do a good job in children's English enlightenment
I think parents can really relax themselves before their children are three years old and give them mainly children's songs, nursery rhymes, cartoons and the simplest picture books. The amount does not need to be too large to initially establish children's basic understanding of language, and gradually become familiar with and accept it.
1, starting with nursery rhymes
English enlightenment education should start from the simplest, and it should not be difficult at first. Children simply can't accept it! It is suggested to start with English children's songs with lively melody and simple lyrics, and the effect will be much better. Especially with the song MV, there are pictures, music and cartoon characters, just like watching cartoons, which will inevitably induce children's interest in learning English.
The higher the frequency of children's songs, the better. Every day, children can play it in a loop as soon as they get up until they hear the sound of breakfast. In short, you can play in your spare time all day. This process of "grinding your ears" is very important!
2. Parents and children read picture books together.
Picture books are the next stage of enlightenment. When children become more and more interested in English, they can buy some three-dimensional picture books for them.
Read with children. Tell children stories first, and then two people interact to consolidate the learning of picture books through questions and answers. If the child can't answer in some places, you can help him answer, and then let the child repeat it to exercise his English thinking and pronunciation. In this process, not only can children's learning ability be improved, but also a closer parent-child relationship can be cultivated.
Step 3 spell naturally
Children can learn to spell naturally when they are five or six years old. Learn the pronunciation of 26 letters first, and then know consonants, vowels and letter combinations. After learning, children can spell words by themselves.
