Parents with poor English can also do English enlightenment, as long as they do these three things.

A few days ago, our family had to take part in an English speech contest. It is very gratifying to watch the children carefully organize sentences and revise the content of the speech over and over again until a relatively complete speech is presented.

English has become a basic skill for children. From the beginning of babbling, there are always one or several projects to be arranged, such as ear grinding, English picture books and online and offline English learning. If you don't learn English, you can't talk about life, let alone chickens.

I remember when my child was young, my grandmother came for a while, and the children at home quickly learned Sichuan dialect, and started the mode of speaking Mandarin with my mother and turning around to communicate with my grandmother in dialects. The two languages can switch freely and do not interfere with each other. There are many languages or other dialects in the family environment. Don't worry that children will be influenced by dialects and can't speak Mandarin well. Most children can master these two languages easily. This is because children have a "correct language matching ability", which is simply "what to say to everyone". Learning English also needs a certain environment, and it is best to have an immersive language acquisition experience to make English learning a state of "habit is nature". This kind of "immersion" learning does have a multiplier effect.

For children, learning English is not only a skill, but also a way to familiarize children with another culture and broaden their horizons, so that children can have more and more flexibility in solving problems. Some studies also show that bilingual children are more likely to get high scores if they want to compare with monolingual children in intelligence and nonverbal tests.

Then parents of British scum should be worried. Their English books are average. Is there no way to give children a good language learning environment and realize effective English enlightenment? The answer is of course no! As long as we think about the three methods we put forward according to today's thinking, we will certainly gain something and help English enlightenment.

1, English enlightenment, you should have theories in your mind and ideas in your head.

There is a theory that we have heard for a long time, that is, the earlier children start language enlightenment, the better. The golden age of enlightenment is 0-3 years old and the golden age of language learning is 3-7 years old. So that we will be particularly anxious to see the title "Children miss the golden age of language and affect their lives". In fact, English learning, like other language learning, is never too late to start learning at any grade! Early enlightenment may indeed have some advantages, but this advantage is not too great to be ignored. Enlightenment begins at the age of 2, enlightenment begins at the age of 3, and even enlightenment begins at the age of 7. The advantage of age is negligible. As long as you study hard from now on, you won't be afraid of being late. Before you start enlightenment, you already have a theory in your mind. You should first think about how children should learn.

As we just mentioned, the most important thing in English learning is to have a bilingual environment, which makes it easier to bring an immersive learning experience. It is not difficult to complete this step. Parents can choose a fixed time every week as Family English Day. Practice some simple phrases and words in advance, and try to speak English with your children on this day. For example, get up and say "good morning", "this is a book" and so on. The serious attitude of parents not only encourages children to learn English, but also makes them feel that learning English is an important thing and something that needs to be taken seriously.

Nursery rhymes, graded reading and bilingual picture books are all necessary items for English enlightenment, but children should not just listen to nursery rhymes. We watch Korean dramas and American dramas every day, but we can't see ourselves learning Korean and English well. Simple nursery rhymes, after children are familiar with them, try to sing along. After several attempts, you will find that children learn much faster than you! Only the way of learning, that is, the way of interacting with adults, can really play a role in grinding ears.

In fact, the popular nursery rhyme Mother Goose is not suitable for grinding ears, because when children learn English, its content should be more suitable for real life and easier to understand and remember. Mother Goose's nursery rhymes are a bit "old", and there are even old English words in them. Many stories are out of touch with modern society. Moreover, different SSS series, such as good morning SSS, SSS transportation and SSS lullaby, are not bad, and the content is relatively simple. You can find some SSS series audio materials to sharpen your ears.

So do bilingual picture books. Parents with poor English must preview first and learn to watch it several times by themselves. It doesn't matter if you are afraid of poor pronunciation. You don't need to worry about American accent or British pronunciation. The most important function of language is communication. Many Indians who immigrated to Britain and the United States have serious accents themselves, but few people correct their accents. Parents with poor English should not be afraid that their pronunciation is not standard. The most important thing is to dare to speak out.

Zhao was ridiculed for his poor English for some time, but netizens didn't have to. What matters is not that she can't speak well, but that she dares to speak. English learning must dare to say that if parents really struggle with phonetic symbols, there are many apps for learning phonetic symbols in their mobile phones, so you can choose one to practice phonetic symbols. It is a bit of putting the cart before the horse to enlighten children just because they are afraid of their poor pronunciation.

When reading a picture book, you can read it several times first and explain what this paragraph is about to your child according to the picture. Some keywords can be repeated twice. After reading is familiar, you can guide your child to start a trial reading. Again, English learning must be read and memorized. Learning can't be achieved simply by listening without absorbing. You can use Pig's English picture book or Disney's English picture book that children are familiar with. They are all stories that children are familiar with and love to hear.

Graded picture books are really easy to use! It is a good tool to help you learn English more systematically. There are 13 series, 20 levels and more than 800 picture books in Oxford Tree Graded Reading, and the home edition has L 1-L6 level. Red rocket is more suitable for children with zero foundation and just beginning to learn English, starting with 26 letters; Raz-kids is an online graded reading used by American primary schools, which was introduced by domestic scholars and became ABC time synchronous reading in American primary schools. There is also Pearson children's graded reading, with L 1-L 12 and other grades. These graded readings have their own characteristics. Next, we will explain the differences between these four series in detail. My family studied Red Rocket, and now I'm studying ABC. To buy graded reading picture books, you can go to Reims to test your reading ability and choose the appropriate registration. There is quite a lot to talk about in the graded reading section. Next, I will explain in detail the differences between different series of decomposed reading and how to choose.

2. With the theory of English enlightenment, we should also have the goal of English learning.

English learning is not only learning a language, but also understanding another culture, and there are more creative solutions to problems. So, in the English enlightenment stage, is there a learning goal? Of course, the goal of learning can be quantified through exams to test children's learning ability of vocabulary and simple sentence patterns and the learning effect of simple reading comprehension. Cambridge children, Cambridge English, TOEFL, etc. , just choose one. It doesn't matter how you score in the exam. It's important to know a stage of your study and have a clear goal. Examinations will also make children subconsciously pay more attention to English learning and become a kind of supervision of serious study. But it must be remembered that the purpose of the exam is not to score high or low, but to know more about the direction that children should work hard next.

Speaking of vocabulary, we must not ignore the use of English cards. English cards can exercise children's foreign language thinking in daily games. When practicing, you can say apples, apples and bananas. Take out a word card and the children can immediately point out meaningful patterns such as apples and bananas.

The role of cards is not limited to this. You can practice Ebbinghaus memory curve with cards. After learning some cards, you can review some learned cards in the next week, so that children can remember them firmly. Memory curve can be used in English learning and ancient poetry learning, which is a learning method that many scholars will use. Many online English learning will be accompanied by cards and teaching materials, so everyone must make good use of them.

Get to the point, the goal of English learning should be set reasonably. Don't envy others for passing the pet exam at an early age. Behind every Niu Wa, there must be a cow. It was the help of other parents and family resources that helped A Niu grow up. Although there are differences between Niu Wa and Poitiers, there are countless possibilities for children's future. We need to fully understand our children, constantly sum up their learning problems, do well from enlightenment, start step by step, reach our goals, and even overtake in corners. With a normal mind, a plan and perseverance, you can win the English subject step by step.

3. With theoretical guidance, find a learning method suitable for children, and even constantly adjust the learning method.

Every child has innate differences in personality and behavior patterns. Some babies are very lively, have no patience to grind their ears, have no patience to accompany their parents to read picture books, and even want to tear them up when they see them. Some children are quiet, like listening to their mother's picture books and singing nursery rhymes. It is obviously unrealistic to let every different child use the same learning method mechanically.

Children who are lively and unwilling to cooperate with their parents can adopt situational teaching method. There is an English song called a potato and two potatoes. They can play with the baby and hum a potato and two potatoes while counting. Similarly, songs about numbers can be written with colored pens 12345, and parents can pair English with numbers while humming. Children don't like picture books and don't like reading. They can add English enlightenment from their daily parent-child games, which is both interesting and can bring the parent-child relationship closer. What children really don't like to learn can also be given up temporarily. When children accumulate to a certain extent, they can take them out to study, which may have unexpected effects.

At the beginning of English enlightenment, her family didn't like English nursery rhymes very much, because her vocabulary was too small, and she was anxious to reject them if she couldn't learn nursery rhymes. Since children have been excluded from nursery rhyme enlightenment, let's start from other aspects. After studying English for a period of time, I have accumulated some simple words. I like listening to English nursery rhymes very much, because she can easily sing along after listening. Interesting nursery rhymes and original animations also attract children to learn more.

The third point we are talking about is nothing more than adjusting the methods suitable for children's learning in time under the guidance of the general direction of theory. Not afraid of trial and error, not afraid of detours They need the participation of their parents in learning any subject. What we need to do is to adjust our thinking in time and help children establish their own methodology.

In fact, there are many topics about English enlightenment, such as how to choose courses, how to read at different levels efficiently and practically, and so on. Problems and solutions may only collide with more inspiration and sparks in sharing. Learning is not accomplished overnight. I hope everyone can communicate more and share every step of learning.
