0 Basic methods for children to learn English
First of all, seize the opportunity to do a good job in English enlightenment education.
3-6 years old is a critical period for children to learn a second language. This is the best time for children to learn English. 7- 12 years old started to learn English late, but there is still a chance to form an English thinking system.
Secondly, cultivating language sense and English thinking mode is the key to learning English well.
The correct way to cultivate a sense of language is to contact English more, listen to English more, watch more English cartoons, movies or English programs, read more and more, and try to create opportunities for children to speak English whether you can understand it or not. Learning a language is not enough. If possible, it is best to study Chinese, mathematics, science and other subjects in English. Don't translate or recite grammar. Language is a whole, don't learn it apart. Don't treat headache, treat foot pain.
Third, we should learn to spell well, and use spelling to help spell words, without worrying about learning phonetic symbols.
Fourth, don't rush for success, be patient and confident, and help your children through the silent period of English learning. Increasing English contact will help to shorten the silence period.
Fifth, doing a lot of questions is intensive training before the exam, not a real way to master a language.
Finally, English learning should be sustainable, not just looking at the immediate effect.
What helps children form a sense of language and English thinking is sustainable development, which should be adhered to. On the contrary, doing a lot of questions, memorizing words and translating sentences will bring a powerful illusion, which can obviously improve the test scores in a short time, but it can't help children really master English. This is unsustainable and should be avoided. Doing a lot of questions is only applicable before major exams.

Misunderstandings of children's learning English
Myth 1: Children are too young to learn English in a hurry. Anyway, if you learn, you will forget.
Many parents also believe that children are still young and it is useless to learn. Don't worry, you can learn when you teach at school. Actually, this is a misunderstanding.
Linguistic research shows that 3- 12 years old is the best time for human beings to learn a second language. The "Blokas" area in the brain, which is responsible for language learning, is in a sensitive period at the age of 3- 12. At this stage, children learn a second language almost as easily as their mother tongue. At this time, the language they come into contact with will be regarded as their mother tongue by the brain and will never be forgotten.
Learning English in this period, through a lot of language experience, children naturally imitate, "naturally acquire" English and accept the "cultural factors" contained in the language, which is easy to form a sense of language and establish an English thinking system. Among them, 3-6 years old is the golden age of second language learning and the best time to establish English thinking. After missing this stage, children's Chinese thinking system gradually matures, and they are easily disturbed by their mother tongue when learning English, forming the habit of "English-Chinese translation", so it is difficult to establish a mature English thinking system. 7- 12 years old is the last chance for children to establish English thinking. /kloc-After 0/2 years old, most people's "Blokas" area will be closed. When learning English at this time, the brain will store these languages in the "memory area" and cannot use them flexibly.
In fact, the goal of children aged 3-6 in learning English is not to learn multiple words, but to cultivate their sense of language and the habit of understanding English in English, that is, English thinking. Cultivating language sense and English thinking habits is the most critical process for every child to learn English. It takes a long time and a lot of language contact and accumulation, which can't be formed for a while. But once children have a sense of English language and English thinking, they will be on the right track of English learning, and learning English will be a relaxed and happy thing.
Myth 2: Learning English means memorizing words.
Many parents often measure their children's English level and teachers' teaching effect by the number of words. They think that learning English means memorizing words, and a large number of words means that English is powerful. This is actually a big misunderstanding.
Memorizing words can be said to be a big pain for children in China. Many primary school English tests are mainly based on words, so many teachers will ask students to copy and recite words in order to improve their test scores. If children's English scores are not satisfactory, many parents will force them to remember words and make them miserable.
Just because children recite a lot of words doesn't mean they can learn English well, because they can't memorize words and think and express in English. Many people have a lot of words in their heads, but they can't speak a few words of English. If you can't use it flexibly, it's useless to recite more words. And reciting words every day will make children feel that English learning is mechanical, monotonous and boring, and even lose interest in English learning. Parents should not recite words for the sake of memorizing words, because language is a whole, not a disassembled part.
Many parents will ask this? Don't you have to remember words? Words need to be learned, but words should be learned in words and sentences, not in isolation. You can understand the meaning of words through pictures, English explanations and example sentences. Don't recite Chinese meanings for every word. With the growth of grade, children should gradually get used to looking up English-English dictionaries instead of relying on English-Chinese dictionaries. Pronunciation and spelling of words should be solved by spelling, not by rote learning. Phonetic symbols are tools that every child needs to master. If you want to do a good job, you must sharpen your tools first? .
Myth 3: English is translated into Chinese, Chinese is translated into English, and grammar is analyzed.
Parents are very concerned about their children's English learning, but it is easy to do bad things with good intentions. For example, some parents often use this method to help their children learn English? Baby, how do you say table in English? What is an apple? Some parents play such discs to enlighten their children in English? One is one, two is two, three is three.
Apple Apple is apple, banana banana banana? ; Some parents let their children translate sentences. What? What does this mean? When do you get up? Some parents say the Chinese meaning of words and let their children write English words; Some parents let their children translate texts and short stories; Some parents ask their children to analyze sentences, which is the subject, which is the predicate and which is the object; What is the structure of the present continuous tense and how to ask questions in the third person singular?
In fact, parents' painstaking efforts can't help their children, but mislead them, hindering the formation of their sense of language and English thinking, which runs counter to their original intention.
Research shows that children's ability to acquire their mother tongue is a natural subconscious process called? Acquisition? . Traditional English education in China includes memorizing words, grammar, analyzing sentences and translating them into Chinese. Grammar translation method? , is typical? Study? . Learn the language, follow one's inclinations, speak it at once, use it flexibly, and never forget it for a long time. The language obtained by grammar translation method needs translation, assembly and grammar checking, so it is impossible.
Blurt out, unable to use flexibly. Grammar and translation can not only make English fluent, but also hinder the formation of English fluency, language sense and English thinking.
Myth 4: Children have studied for half a year, but they don't know a few words and can't speak a few words in English. This is for nothing!
I often hear my parents say similar things. My son has been studying in an institution for half a year. When he meets a foreigner, he won't say a word except hello and goodbye. My child has studied for a year and can't even read a few words. When asked what she had learned, she couldn't say anything. English class is very lively, but the child is almost one year old, and I can't say that other children will say, why hasn't my child studied for so long? Is he stupid? This institution can't do it. I haven't learned anything for a long time, wasting money! After studying in an institution for so long, the child's grades have not moved at all. What happened?
In fact, when our children learn a new language, they have to go through a period of silence. As a foreign language or a second language, the silent period of English is even longer than learning the mother tongue. Different children have different periods of silence, some months, some years, some two or three years. However, no matter how long it takes, every child can only speak English after a long period of accumulation and a lot of language input. From understanding to understanding, from understanding to saying the first sentence, from saying simple sentences to saying complex sentences, every step is progress, and every step is obtained because of previous accumulation. Similarly, it takes a long time to accumulate and a lot of language input from clicking to blurting out.
It's like eating steamed buns. You will feel full when you eat the eighth, but can you be full without the first seven? It is wrong to ask children to speak and write after learning for several months, and it is also invalid not to speak. Every parent should have this understanding, psychological preparation and patience to help their children get through the silent period, instead of criticizing and giving up halfway.
