How should parents cooperate with their children's English learning?

First of all, as parents, we should understand that children learn English not only to let them learn more English words or sentence patterns, but also to cultivate their sensitivity to English pronunciation, cultivate their interest and awareness of communicating in English, and cultivate their communicative competence and good learning quality by learning English as a language. Only based on this idea can we treat and guide children to learn English at home correctly. Second, parents should create a positive family language environment for their children. Language acquisition theory holds that children have unique natural language acquisition ability, which enables them to absorb language materials from a large number of language contact and use, sum up language laws, and thus form language ability. Mother tongue is gradually learned and mastered in a language. Similarly, when children learn a second language, our parents should also create a positive language environment for their children. English teachers are required to use more than 70% English in class, including target words, which are mostly routine expressions and random situational expressions, with few Chinese explanations. The purpose is to cultivate children's habit of using English through their own understanding and the constant influence of English environment. Therefore, parents please don't rush for success. You can help children remember some target words when you are with them, or you can learn them through teachers and textbooks. Then when the situation is right every day, it is naturally used in communication with children. For example, in the morning, when a child opens his sleepy eyes, you gently say "Good morning!" "Please get up!" Say "good afternoon!" When I pick up the children in the afternoon. By analogy, over time, children will gradually produce ideas they want to say and gradually form an English consciousness. In addition, in the family, we should make full use of audio-visual resources, so that children can listen, watch and contact more standardized and pure language materials and provide a good language environment. Finally, create a relaxed language and psychological environment for children. Family is the cradle of children's growth. Only in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere can our children grow up healthily. Education should also be carried out in this atmosphere. When communicating with children in English, we should encourage them to communicate with their parents boldly and naturally, without ideological pressure, and let them take speaking English as a happy thing. As soon as some parents hear their children speak hesitatingly, they loudly reprimand their children for "how did they forget again?" "Why didn't you say it again?" "Did you listen to the teacher at school?" And so on, these reproaches often increase children's fear of speaking English. In the past, children took learning English as a burden, thus losing the significance of children learning English from primary school. How do parents view their children's English learning 1? Paying attention to cultivating children's interest in English learning "Interest is the best teacher" is well known, but it is often ignored by parents in real life. Some parents often carry out education on the importance of English: telling their children about national construction, personal future and even future income; Also, talk about how you used to learn by rote-"head hanging beam, cone biting"; Or talk about how you want to learn but can't, and regret being born at an inappropriate time. Don't you know that because children are still young, they can't think so far, and they don't want to be "hung and bitten"; In addition, some parents often take the form of "preaching" and nagging. If they talk too much every day, their children will get bored. Over time, they even had a "rebellious mentality." They said, "You want me to learn, but you keep nagging. I won't learn, and I won't learn for you." All my parents' hard work was in vain. Modern education emphasizes that students are the masters of learning, and students' main role should be fully mobilized and brought into play in teaching, that is, students' learning mainly depends on internal driving force and internal cause, that is, interest and purpose. For children, first of all, let them feel that learning English is fun and interesting, and communicating in English is useful. Only when they are constantly attracted by the fun and success in learning can they keep learning, and then they can learn well and still want to learn. (1) Image thinking gives priority to development, while abstract thinking is developing. So their imitativeness and memory are good and fast. They are interested in concrete, colorful and rhythmic forms and methods. (2) Curious and active. Therefore, they are easy to ask questions and be attracted by new content and new ways and means; They like to do actions. If they are guided to do actions with different parts of their bodies to express their learning content, they will be interested. (3) Strong desire for performance, like to be praised, like success, like to be competitive. Therefore, individuals or groups are particularly active and devoted in class competition. They like to raise their hands to answer questions, but sometimes they say "I will" and "I will" before they have mastered it, showing the appearance of not answering when called. This is not a sign of their dishonesty and modesty, but a sign of their characteristics. When they are a little older, they are often not so good. Correct encouragement and guidance can mobilize and protect children's learning enthusiasm and promote their success. (4) Learning is obviously emotional and easy to be emotional. Therefore, they are interested in their favorite teachers, the content and methods they like to learn, and they will shine, dance and devote themselves wholeheartedly; Otherwise, you will lose face, sit still, study hard, and even make trouble. Here, let's take Cambridge children's English textbook as an example. Because this set of teaching materials attaches importance to the compilation of children's physiological and psychological characteristics, it has the following main characteristics, which can also be said to be advantages, so it is deeply loved by children: a, the teaching materials are bright in color, with many pictures, beautiful and fresh, and children can't put it down and are eager to try; B, there are various teaching forms, such as speaking, drawing, singing, writing, games, cutting and pasting, which are all in textbooks and done in class; C, the teaching content is close to children's lives, such as polite expressions, toys, animals, various games and the content of various parts of the body, which are all things around them and things they often want to express. Therefore, it is easy to learn, remember and communicate; D, there are many activities in the classroom, so that children can participate more and perform more. The mouth, brain, hands, eyes and body are all active; E, like infants learning their mother tongue (mother tongue), the content of this textbook is to implement the principle of "listening and speaking first, reading and writing step by step", and there is no grammar; F, more encouragement, it requires children to show what they have learned and what they can do in many ways; Instead of staring at him "he didn't learn anything" and "he can't (can't) do anything" to test him and embarrass him. Moreover, the teachers employed by English schools are all qualified through special training and examinations, and hold special employment certificates. Teachers here can use such textbooks to teach, which can attract children to keep learning. 2。 Parents should do a good job in the following aspects (1) to support and help children prepare teaching AIDS and make learning tools with teachers. For example, animal toys, car and boat models and pictures are all useful teaching AIDS. Another example is that when children learn related words or sentences such as "location" and "orientation", some parents will help them make two sets of learning tools more effectively, such as "this", "that" and "here/there". If two identical teaching AIDS are placed at different distances, "it can be expressed more vividly." It is particularly noteworthy that in the process of preparing these teaching AIDS and learning tools, children actively participate in learning, that is, effective learning and review. (2) Encourage children to boldly do actions with them. Such as greeting, polite language response, playing games such as Dollhouse, drawing, coloring, cutting and spelling are not only effective learning, but also cordial communication between parents and children. (3) Encourage children to learn from real life. If you put English labels on household items, the whole family will learn together; Review related words and sentences when going to parks and shops; Take the initiative to talk with foreign guests. (4) cherish the small prizes and small productions that children get. Show the little red flowers and colorful flags that children get in class in their "learning corner"; Showing their certificates and prizes and inviting friends and relatives to visit them properly will play a good encouraging role; Parents can also give their children toys and other "grand prizes" to encourage them to continue their efforts after their children have accumulated a certain number of "small prizes" as promised. (5) Insist on encouragement, without adding or criticizing, and let children learn happily. For this reason, parents should never compare their children's shortcomings with other children and say, "You see people always take the top few, what about you" ... You know, every child's foundation, body, hobbies, especially language ability are different, even very different, and casual comparison will only reduce his interest in learning; In addition, both textbooks and tapes have "talking about rap", which is the content and form that children like, and it is also easy to learn and remember. It is an important part of teaching materials. Children often sing after school. It can be said that this is a continuation of class and should be praised by parents, but many parents turn a blind eye to it and are often eager to ask "What did you learn today" and "Did you learn", which will immediately curb the enthusiasm of children. On the other hand, if parents like to listen to their children singing and praise them happily, it will further stimulate their interest in learning. Moreover, most children "talk eloquently" in class and tell their parents that they will, but they often "don't" at home. This is because the classroom has a specific language environment, and they have just learned and practiced. Leaving the teacher and the classroom will certainly be different. Parents should understand them, create conditions to encourage them to listen to the recording more, and don't criticize them, let alone blame them. (6) When the school changes teachers, it should cooperate with the children's work in time. Children, especially young children, often especially like and support the teachers who teach first, and are more difficult to accept the teachers who take over later. It is also common for amateur schools to change teachers. Therefore, in this case, parents must explain the reasons for the change in time, especially each teacher has his own advantages and disadvantages, and everyone will encounter such things that are not as good as they wish. They should adapt themselves quickly, don't care too much, and so on. If left unchecked, it will easily affect children's interest in learning and emotions. (7) Learning from children and worshiping them as teachers will also greatly improve children's interest in learning and the degree of serious study. Studying with parents and teaching grandma English will make children happy, but parents should arrange their own time, preferably for a quarter of an hour every day, to show their seriousness and sincerity. Practice has proved that relaxed and happy study can fully arouse and exert students' interest, enthusiasm and potential, thus enhancing the memory effect and mastering the ability to use foreign languages; On the contrary, dull, boring and tense study can only inhibit thinking activities and reduce learning effect. We put forward some of the above methods in order to help parents create a relaxed and happy learning environment and atmosphere for their children after class, so that they can enjoy learning English. It can be said that if children want to learn well, they must first "love learning" and "enjoy learning", which is repeatedly emphasized by modern education. On the cultivation of primary school students' interest in English learning "Language is not easy to learn", especially when learning mother tongue. But if teaching methods are correct, we can get twice the result with half the effort. To achieve such good results, interesting teaching can be said to be a good method.
