Children learn English not because of conformity effect, but because parents find the importance of learning English in social practice, so they will ask their children to study hard from an early age.

The annual income of families who use English at work is generally more than 300 thousand, while the annual income of families who don't use English is between 300 thousand and 654.38+10 thousand. It can be said that as long as a family has done foreign-related work, it is easy to enter the threshold of middle-income families.

It is precisely because they realize the importance of learning a foreign language and even think that learning two more foreign languages is more helpful to their children's future, so many parents now attach great importance to foreign language early education.

Learn a foreign language at the age of three or four. If you can, you can go to a foreign language kindergarten with foreign teachers. If not, you can only watch foreign language cartoons at home.

Children aged three or four have a gift for languages. They don't need Chinese subtitles or Chinese translation, so they can learn foreign languages according to their body language. It can be said that 3-4 years old is the best age to learn a foreign language.

I have contacted some parents before, and my child has finished learning English and started learning German at the age of three or four. At this time, children learning a foreign language is like playing, which is very easy. Children will be very painful when they enter school.

Entering the upper and middle classes of society is the hope of every family for their children. No problem. If learning Chinese can enter the upper and middle classes of society, then everyone is willing to learn Chinese, but the reality is very difficult.

Although Chinese studies are important, we cannot deny foreign languages just because we study Chinese studies. There is no contradiction between learning a foreign language and learning Chinese studies, just as it is normal that we can study mathematics at the same time when we study physics.

Chinese studies and foreign languages complement each other, because language ability is inseparable from both mother tongue and foreign language.

So this is not a herd effect, but a natural choice made by everyone in the face of the cruel competition of social reality.

Conformity effect is a kind of conformity psychology in psychology. First of all, we should understand what the purpose of learning English is, and don't blindly follow it. I think most children aged three or four don't even learn their mother tongue well, so there is no need to spend time and energy learning English. Language is just a tool, and when you don't use it, it is a waste. If English becomes a tool he needs every day, learning becomes a necessity. I would like to ask whether most families and children in our country have this demand at present.

One more skill is better than none.

An English teacher floated by. There used to be such a stalk. Q: The child is about four years old, and his English vocabulary is only 4,000. Is that enough? A: The United States is enough, but China is not enough. When jokes turn into jokes, they still reflect many problems. First, the anxiety of today's social education, most of which comes from the so-called starting line education. Many parents are worried that their children will lose at the so-called starting line, and constantly subjectively report many extracurricular training classes to their children. English is definitely inevitable, and their children also learn English by babbling. However, it ignores a problem. At present, the quality and teacher level of English training institutions are uneven. Many children in the early stage learn English just like playing games. If you don't meet a good teacher, you often can't achieve the expected results. Secondly, herding also has the influence of social comparative psychology. Many parents give their children many interest classes for the sake of so-called face, but some of them are not suitable for children. In short, when to learn English and enlightenment education can't be unified, it depends on children's interests and parents' ability, and can't follow suit.

There's no harm in learning more.

Has it really become a common phenomenon for children aged three or four to learn English? Let's not talk about this for the time being. Let's discuss the process of language learning in anthropology. When is the best time to learn English well? After all, Chinese is our mother tongue.

0-6 years old is the best time for children to form second language thinking. Mother tongue has not yet formed an absolute language status, and its exclusiveness to English is weak, making it easier to form an independent English thinking area. Children before the age of 7 are fully capable of learning two languages at the same time.

After the age of 7, the efficiency of language learning began to decline sharply.

/kloc-After 0/2 years old, children's zoning ability will gradually weaken until it disappears, so it is difficult to form English language thinking areas.

Children are born with a blank sheet of paper. It's time to learn skills. When a child is three or four years old, if parents have been communicating with their children in Mandarin, the child's language expression ability is already very strong at this time, and he can learn a second language in addition to his mother tongue.

At this time, the mother tongue has not yet formed an absolute language status. At this time, when children come to learn a second language, they have a high degree of acceptance of the second language and are easier to master. The second language also increases the vocabulary available to children, and the two languages reinforce each other. Children can improve their mastery of Chinese by learning a second language.

Think about whether it is particularly painful when we learn English. When we see English, we have a headache. We can't read, let alone recite. Finally, I can't learn Chinese well, even if I learn it well, I am dumb English, in order to cope with the exam.

We just missed the best opportunity to learn a second language. Our mother tongue has become an absolute language status, so we will study hard.

We should congratulate the three-or four-year-old boy for starting to learn English, which shows that he has a prescient parent, and his parents still know a lot about his child's growth. It is his honor to have such parents.

I am a hidden moon. It is ignorance to see the "herd effect" without knowing what it means. After searching the Internet, I realized that it was "conformity psychology". I think children can learn English at the age of three or four. Why do you say that?

First, English is a college entrance examination subject. And the score is not low. If you want to enter a good university, it is unlikely that you will learn English badly. Although some people object to putting English in such a high position, it is a national policy and certainly has its rationality. We can only abide by it.

Second, it is easier to learn primary school languages at an age. Let's talk about our national language, Putonghua, instead of using theories and experts to prove it. As a common language in China, it is widely used in various regions of China. Undeniably, many people speak Mandarin, more or less with dialect characteristics. The reason is that the dialect ta is spoken early and has a deep influence.

Third, the herd effect can also be said to be the general trend. Everyone goes to school, or rather, many children go to school. If children don't go, they will miss progress.

A colleague's children, both teachers, attach great importance to children's learning, and children have always been among the best. They graduated from junior high school and successfully entered the provincial key high school. The students of famous schools are all masters. Here, children can't keep up with their studies. Mainly English is a bit backward. Every subject in the school is very demanding, and the English teacher asks to read the original English books. The child is a little hard. It affects children's learning mood. He regretted not letting his children learn English earlier and learn English well.

Conclusion: It is also good to have conditions for children to learn English early. Lay a good foundation and the children can relax after school.

I'm disgusted. I can only say that the parents' comparison psychopathy is at work.

Let's not talk about worshipping foreigners here. From the perspective of education, it is good for children to master some skills, but it should be carried out in accordance with children's cognitive laws. Children of this age are not suitable for learning English at present. Let's learn the China language well. First of all, learn simple Chinese Pinyin, stroke order, write some simple words, read and write simple words, and say a complete short sentence. This knowledge is from shallow to deep, step by step, not at the age of three or four.

Finally, add a sentence: what is national is the world's.

This phenomenon is really common. Accurately speaking, it should not be three or four years old, but it is small enough to teach English when children start talking, and some even start teaching English before speaking. The theme is herding. Admittedly, the appearance and intensification of this phenomenon are inseparable from herding, which is what we usually call herd mentality. Among the mothers in our community, mothers often ask, what picture books do one-year-old or two-year-old children need to read to learn English? Of course, all kinds of children aged two or three read many English picture books, such as Chicken Baby or Niu Wa. In this case, it usually brings a wave of movement for more mothers to teach their children English. After all, the phrase "Don't let children lose at the starting line" has made parents anxious.

As for the reasons for this phenomenon, there are other reasons besides the herd mentality of ordinary people mentioned above:

In order to change this phenomenon, it really has a lot to do with the national education policy. We not only need to establish a stable position of our mother tongue, but also need to gradually reduce the influence of English and make English an optional subject instead of a main subject.

Don't say grazing. When you find that English will affect many of your choices, try to strengthen English. Maybe the opportunity has slipped away. Is there a big difference between early learning and late learning? It's good for children to adapt.
