Why do children learn English?

Everyone has an innate language learning ability. Learning musical instruments requires talent, learning mathematics requires spirituality, and English learning can be learned without obstacles for very young children.

After a child is born, his vocal organs, such as throat, tongue, palate, vocal cords, nasal cavity, oral cavity, etc., are not yet mature, and he is exposed to foreign languages at an early stage, so he has ample opportunities to use these languages. His vocal organs will adjust their shapes in a subtle way in coordination with the pronunciation systems of these languages to produce various sounds needed by these languages. It can be said that the younger the age, the greater the flexibility of the shape adjustment of this organ. If you come into contact with a foreign language after puberty, then the vocal organs have been basically stereotyped and the pronunciation mode of your mother tongue has long been ingrained. At this time, it is more difficult to practice some pronunciations different from your mother tongue. Or they often copy the pronunciation of their mother tongue, so they have a certain accent.

There is a joke on the Internet that the elite, who account for 1% of the population in the United States, requires their children to spend 4-5 hours doing their homework every day in addition to strict teaching activities. During the college entrance examination, the top Ivy League universities took the score selection of the Chinese college entrance examination as the baton, and the poor people of the remaining 99% of the American population were driven into public schools to carry out "quality education". The teachers could not talk about anything in class, and there was no homework after class. They just let the children play, and the men engaged in sports and the women engaged in other extracurricular activities. In short, as long as they did not study, they were all "quality". As a result, this 1%.

why do we want our children to learn English? To get good grades? For the exam? Or for parents? Neither. Learning English can help us make more friends and learn more about culture. At the same time, we can use our English knowledge to develop ourselves and strive for more opportunities and opportunities for ourselves.

When it comes to the words "learning English", many parents think of memorizing words, learning grammar and endless exams.

Many parents, including those with higher education, are potentially resistant to English. Because the road of exam-oriented education, taking English as a means and purpose, is completely on the opposite side of language. It can be said that many middle-class parents who speak fluent English do not really enjoy the happiness brought by English.

Whether children should learn English or not is not a multiple-choice question, because we have no choice.

why do you say that?

Because China's compulsory education stipulates that schools will offer foreign language courses from the third grade of primary school until graduation from high school, most schools will choose English as a foreign language course, so children will always learn it at school whether we want to learn it or not. Let's look at the English Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education. I can't think of a more convincing reason than that.

When we add a strong utilitarian color to English learning, English learning will become stale. Since children want to learn English, they must learn effectively and happily. For example, Shier Children's English will teach different children in different classes based on their age. Children with different backgrounds learn different contents, and each level has corresponding learning requirements. For example, junior children are required to be able to express long sentences and complex sentences, be able to speak with pictures, use what they have learned to describe them naturally. Intermediate children are required to guide their language organization ability, learn paragraph expression, and achieve the ability of independent reading by looking at pictures and talking.
