Judging from the current English learning, if you don't plan to live abroad, English exists as a learning subject.
As a learning object, I always insist that children follow the progress of school teachers, and there is no need to advance. To tell the truth, at present, English learning in China is aimed at exams. At this stage, English application is still relatively small, and preschool children have no chance to use it.
For English learning, I think it can be natural.
Learn from teachers at school. If you go abroad to play, parents can guide their children to speak English more, starting with simply saying hello and buying goods. Students can generally master everyday English.
On the one hand, many parents propose to cancel the NMET. On the other hand, many parents teach their children "basic knowledge" from the time they learn English. Although it's not polite to say this, it's actually parents in China who attach so much importance to English.
By the way, I personally don't think English needs to be excluded from the college entrance examination. Whenever necessary, we should take a long-term view and let students connect with the world.
Therefore, I don't think it is necessary to enlighten children in English at all. When they reach school age, they should keep up with the teacher's teaching progress and master it according to the teacher's requirements.
Parents can use this time to take their children to run in the park, visit museums, recite poems and listen to historical stories. There are many interesting things to do with their children.
If you don't like the above personal views, don't spray them! You have your choice, and I have my insistence. Hehe)
Hello, I am a teacher who has been engaged in parenting education for many years. I can share my experience in language enlightenment with you.
First of all, we need to know the characteristics of the English stage of children aged 2-4:
At this stage, children's English enlightenment needs a lot of "listening input", and they actively participate in classroom teaching through language immersion and multi-theme story interactive teaching. It can stimulate children's brain language talent, inspire children's English, and promote children to develop good behavior habits.
Language immersion is actually to let children "grind their ears", play English children's songs and vocabulary sentences every day, and let children get used to the pure English environment. Parents can also use some interesting English conversations to communicate with their children and play games, so that children can feel that English is not a single thing, but a very interesting thing.
In addition, I recommend parents to learn English picture books for their children. If possible, you can sign up for an English picture book class in the local area. Guide children to "listen, speak, read and write" through various theme stories. By telling and playing picture books, we can learn daily behavior knowledge while learning English, experience happiness in scene exploration, cultivate healthy body and mind and sound personality, and develop good reading habits. Of course, parents can also educate their children to tell stories and understand stories by buying English picture books themselves.
Here, I recommend some English picture books and animations for children to learn in fun.
Qiao Hu animation products originated in Japan, and then spread to Taiwan Province Province, China, and then spread to the mainland. Qiao Hu is rich in content and interactive in form, which is conducive to stimulating children's interest, stimulating unlimited potential and cultivating good habits. It is a good partner to accompany children to grow up.
▍ Suitable for baby age: 0-7 years old
Including: animated video *** 1800 episodes, complete set of picture book materials (video+picture book, English+math+Chinese Pinyin).
Miffy picture book series is a classic in the history of picture books created by Dutch illustrator Dick Bruner after decades of painstaking efforts. Miffy rabbit is over 50 years old. The story of her and her relatives and friends has been translated into more than 40 languages, which is popular all over the world, accompanying several generations of children in their infancy and bringing them reading enlightenment. Therefore, Mifei's picture book was praised as "the first picture book for children" by Mr. Song Juzhi, the father of Japanese picture books.
▍ Suitable for baby age: 0-3 years old
Including: Chinese and English video+audio+picture book.
The Story Collection of Mother Goose (Phonetic Picture Book) (Bello's Fairy Tales) is known as "the first link in the world fairy tale literature chain" and is the earliest fairy tale collection that children are willing to accept. The outstanding Russian writer Turgenev once commented: "It is so interesting, so fascinating to children, so eye-opening ... It is the combination of fantasy, simplicity, solemnity, sublimity and vividness that distinguishes the veritable fairy tale conception from other literary styles."
▍ Suitable for baby age: 2-4 years old
Includes: 22 paid foreign versions of mother goose nursery rhymes videos.
In addition, here I have compiled a parenting book for parents:
Please check the comments section if necessary.
There are many children around me whose English is not bad. Let's share how these children learn English.
First of all, children's imitation ability is really super strong, and they can always imitate the words and deeds of adults in the shortest time. Therefore, if parents have the ability to learn English, they can provide them with such an environment to learn English as they did when learning Chinese, instead of learning English as a subject similar to mathematics and physics. English is rooted in language, and language is used for communication, so it comes first. Children must learn to speak English before they start reading.
Besides the environment, we should also cultivate children's interest. After you have a little impression of English letters, you can buy some story books suitable for children to read, tell stories to children, listen to related children's songs, promote children's interest and make them like to do it, so there may be follow-up promotion.
Here, I can recommend a set of American native English teaching material "Treasure Box Series" to all treasure moms:
This set of books ranges from kindergarten (GK) to primary school graduation (G 1-G6). This textbook takes reading as the starting point, and then puts listening, speaking and writing after reading as exercises, and practices children's listening, speaking and reading skills at the same time. Moreover, the teaching materials are rich in color and can attract children's interest in learning. Just look at pictures and stories. For example, the screenshot below is a kindergarten.
With the growth of children, the ability is constantly improving, and the difficulty of teaching materials is gradually increasing. After that, it was more than just a sentence. There will be plays, fairy tales, novels and other forms, so that children can learn more about English culture while studying.
For example, the following is Aladdin's magic lamp in the Arabian Nights that we are familiar with:
If anyone wants the electronic version of this set of books, they can come to me by private mail ~ Of course, if you are a local tyrant, you can also buy a set directly ~ ~ ~
In a word, the ability of English should be the same as learning Chinese, and you don't have to wait until a certain age to learn it. It's just a language of communication, sooner or later.
When it comes to English enlightenment, many parents are worried:
In fact, English enlightenment is not as difficult as you think, but it is not as simple as some people say to put some English background music on children to "grind their ears". Just playing English songs, I'm afraid it is impossible to expect children to learn it naturally. After all, children can't understand the lyrics and can only be familiar with the melody.
Therefore, if you want to enlighten children in English, you still need to watch, learn and speak with them. English original comics are the best way.
There are many original English cartoons, but for younger children, Auntie strongly recommends the BBC classic cartoon Penelope (Little Blue Koala). The protagonist in the cartoon is this little blue koala, which is very cute.
The whole cartoon is slow in speech, standard in pronunciation and easy to understand. It is a common scene in life, such as a short story between Penelope the little koala and her parents, teachers, classmates and friends.
Each episode is only about 5 minutes, which is very suitable for children aged 2-5 to learn English as an enlightenment. And now many scenes in cartoons can be learned and used.
For example, in one episode, her mother taught Penelope and her friends to make cookies. What materials should be prepared in the first step and how to make them in the second step? ...
After watching cartoons, the next time you cook cookies, you can let your children experience it together, which can not only play but also consolidate English learning. This is killing two birds with one stone.
This cartoon is definitely a great choice for children who have just started learning English with zero foundation.
Even parents with poor English can study with their children according to the subtitles. Language needs more listening and speaking. Only when the environment is infiltrated can children learn faster and more easily. what do you think?
——END——
As a normal student majoring in English who is about to graduate, he may have more experience in dealing with the word "enlightenment" than his compatriots who do not choose English major. I will also talk about enlightenment, enlightenment, enlightenment.
The second is to make children interested in English. Perhaps some parents will encourage their children to learn English on the grounds of "not letting them lose at the starting line", but on the contrary, children have lost interest in English, and English has become a daily learning task for parents. Parents and friends can use word cards or "image memory method" to let their children remember English and words. (This is the role of "Meng")
3. "Enlightenment" means combining the two. On the one hand, children should be interested in themselves, which requires parents and friends to lead them to contact more. Little by little English in life can lead them to explore ways that don't cost money. On the other hand, parents should guide their children in a reasonable way. They can study with their children and influence them with some media such as stories, songs and radio.
1. Children's songs
Children's songs are a way of learning English that young children are very interested in. Before school, many parents will listen to many children's songs, and some children will hum while listening, but what is the specific content, is the pronunciation standard and the lyrics accurate? There is basically no need to pursue it before the age of three, as long as you have a basic sense of rhythm. After three years old, you can be strict, and you may not always understand the content of children's songs, because some children's songs only need to understand their inner meaning and spirit, but at least tell the children what the main content of this song is.
On the basis of knowing the main content, parents can accompany their children to read the lyrics clearly. If children can read well after several times, they will be very happy. Or, you can listen to the song several times, then read the lyrics and sing.
2. Children's English animation
Parents are advised to show their children more English cartoons. If children are exposed to Chinese at first, or Chinese becomes their habitual language, it will be difficult for them to accept English cartoons. Parents don't have to worry that their children don't understand English, because their thinking is different from ours and they have the ability to try to figure out the plot through the situation. In the simple and repetitive interpretation of children's cartoons, adults need to study hard grammar, which is also a normal daily expression for children.
3. English online foreign teacher course
A simple and interesting English teacher's enlightenment course is the best choice for children over 3 years old to start English education. Because of the guidance of professional foreign local teachers, children often become interested in English quickly and master basic English knowledge quickly, laying a good foundation for children to enter primary schools and start systematic English learning.
In modern society, more and more parents are post-80s, post-80s and even post-90s. People attach great importance to children's education, especially English learning. As we said, everything starts with dolls. Then the enlightenment education of English learning is very important.
Children's English learning is different from that of primary and secondary school students. We focus on enlightenment education, aiming at cultivating children's interests and laying a good foundation for their future professional English learning. Not only children receive English education in kindergarten, but also parents play a very important role in this period.
Parents should infiltrate English words into their children in daily life, such as talking about cars and buses with their children on the way to and from school. The words of subway and other means of transportation can also be exchanged with children in daily life, such as food, clothes, animals, family and other words. You can also instill words into children with related children's songs and story videos, so that they can learn better and remember better. Children can also be infiltrated with some simple spelling rules, such as the simplest C-V-C principle, such as the simplest words such as dog, cat, hat and hat. Teach children the basic pronunciation of each letter.
Through these little enlightenment education, the child has mastered the basic learning of English, which will be a good start for his future English learning. Enlightenment education in English learning is very important. If children are not allowed to lose at the starting line, the future will be brighter.
Many friends asked me how to enlighten English, so I will talk about my experience here.
For children with zero foundation (basically zero foundation), the methods of enlightenment are similar. The basic methods are listening to English nursery rhymes, speaking English picture books and watching English cartoons.
1. Listen to English children's songs. You can ask Du Niang, there are many English children's songs. Download English children's songs to the player and listen to them every day. Liao Caixing's book list also contains singing and reading aloud, which can be used to cultivate language sense and improve interest.
2. Listen to English graded reading materials such as xx tree or xx person or r xx. For young children (babies around 2 years old), it is not required to follow, listen and wait for flowers to bloom every day. For older babies, you can ask to follow, but if you are about 5 years old, you don't need to follow. When the baby is interested, you will definitely follow. My family began to understand when I was 3 years old. I naturally learned to read and know words when I was three and a half years old. Every baby has his own personality and time to accept new things. First, he needs to slow down. Every child is different, there is no need to force it. ) At the same time, put the audio of the book in the player and listen to it every day. You can listen to it when you get up, on your way to school and in the car. Listen anytime, anywhere and keep listening. Believe in the importance of accumulation.
3. Watch cartoons. Enlightenment animation can use blue koala or mouse wave. Never use the famous Peggy. Page is too difficult for children with zero foundation (speaking too fast). "Blue Koala" is an enlightenment learning animation, which is very suitable for enlightenment. At the same time, putting the audio of animation in the player also requires parents to listen to it every day.
4. The above three methods must be carried out simultaneously. Arrange the time. Morning, afternoon and evening are fine.
Whether children or adults, learning English is a slow accumulation process, so we can't be impatient. After a year or two, we will see the fruits of persistence.
If the child is 3-5 years old, it is recommended to start with English nursery rhymes. Because children's songs have rhythm and melody, babies will find it very interesting in their study. More importantly, the lyrics rhyme and are catchy. In fact, through the study of children's songs, the baby is not only easy to remember, but also most of the songs contain a lot of vocabulary and grammar knowledge.
In addition, if parents have some basic knowledge of English, they can practice some simple spoken English on weekdays. In addition, you can read some English stories to your children. The first thing you should learn is to "grind your ears", which is the same as the way babies learn their mother tongue. First listen, understand and feel the semantics, and finally imitate according to your own understanding.
First, accumulate 1000 listening vocabulary.
1. Parents will stimulate their five senses when they speak English. "Nouns refer to pictures/things, verbs TPR", and establish the connection between sounds and things or actions, so that your listening vocabulary will increase rapidly.
2. Learn through fun, play with middle school, and don't let "play" and "learn" be opposite. Such as playing games and board games. For example, I spy games let children find things, such as playing bingo games to reproduce the pronunciation of words, such as playing flop sorting games, such as playing card-bashing mouse games, which can well realize the correspondence between pictures and sounds.
3. If parents are sometimes poor in words or not confident in their own level, they can just play with words and let their children have a basic listening comprehension of 300-400 nouns and verbs, and then they can watch cartoons, listen to stories, watch more original videos and listen to audio, such as peppa pig, big muzzy, maisy, caillou, and other songs that are most familiar to everyone. Parents also need to study with their children and make progress together in order to be better accompanied.
