How do kindergarten students learn spoken English

Letting children learn English is something that all parents attach importance to. Parents also attach great importance to cultivating their children's oral English ability from an early age. This article about how kindergarten students learn spoken English, I hope it will help you.

First, we should lay a solid foundation in our mother tongue.

According to the survey of educators, if a child learns two languages at the same time, it will not only confuse his understanding of the language, but also easily cause learning obstacles.

For example, Xiao Nan, a friend's child, has been taught by his friends in both Chinese and English since he learned to speak. For example, pointing to an apple and saying to Xiao Nan: An apple is an apple. Then he pointed to a banana and said, a banana is a banana.

When Xiao Nan was 5 years old, she could already speak many English words, but her friends found that Xiao Nan seemed to speak more slowly than other children of the same age.

For example, you point to a plate of fruit and ask: What kind of fruit does Xiao Nan want to eat? I saw her think and say, huh? The friend asked: What are you thinking? Xiao Nan said: Banana or banana? I realized that Xiao Nan spoke a little slowly because she didn't know what to say quickly.

As mentioned above, learning two languages at the same time will cause some confusion to children's understanding. If children's understanding of things is often confused, there will be learning disabilities.

Second, help children to establish English thinking.

Many people may often like to ask their children how to say mobile phones in English or what Apple is.

On the surface, it seems to help children remember English words, but in fact, it is strengthening children's Chinese learning and forming such a mindset that no matter what they see, Chinese will always appear in their minds before English words corresponding to Chinese will appear.

If children often use this kind of thinking to learn English, then they can only learn Chinglish.

It is suggested to use pure English teaching as much as possible. You can point to the apple and say: Apple! Instead of saying: an apple is an apple. Pointing at the apple and speaking English directly, children immediately understand that the English pronunciation of apple is apple, which is helpful to the establishment of children's English thinking.

Third, create an English environment for children.

In order to let children learn English as a language, parents should strive to provide an ideal environment for their children to learn English, in which children have enough opportunities to listen and speak English.

For example, when children are playing, they can play English children's songs and English dialogues, which can not only help children build up their sense of English, but also stimulate their desire to speak English, which is equivalent to creating an indirect English environment for children.

Of course, if economic conditions permit, you can also enroll your child in an all-foreign teacher training class in British and American kindergartens to create a more authentic English environment for your child.
