According to the characteristics of children's age, children's English teaching can be started from the following aspects:
First, for children age characteristics, hobbies choose teaching content
Children 3 - 6-year-old of this age, pre-school, pre-school children's language development and physical and psychological development of other critical period. The contents of children's English teaching can choose children's topics of interest, from near to far, from easy to difficult, step by step. Its content can include: animals, toys, colors, numbers, food, etc., 3-4 years of age can be taught simple words to 4-6 years of age and then conduct simple oral teaching, such as learning Pear (Pear), Cat (kitten), Banana (banana) and other words after the pronunciation, and then easy to difficult to upgrade to the phrase and spoken dialogue: Give me a pear, please! (Please give me a pear), It is a dog (it is a puppy), so that children in this age group get appropriate stage learning.
Second, to make English teaching full of fun
Games are an integral part of children's lives.

Third, to break the traditional mother tongue principle
In English teaching, teaching a mother tongue to a foreign language is the most commonly used method of teaching. However, this method often causes children to have a translation process in their brains when they use English. In this way, children can not follow the normal English language How to say "Watermelon" in English? Children should first learn Chinese when they understand English. Therefore, teachers should try their best to use English to teach and help children with gestures, expressions, movements and situations Understand and stick to the same means of making children accustomed to these gestures plus the meaning of English.
Fourth, timely correction of children's language errors, and encouragement
Children in the process of learning language, due to the development of children's voice organs is not perfect, the ability to distinguish the auditory organs and pronunciation organs are relatively weak, and often can not grasp some of the pronunciation of pronunciation methods, resulting in language errors is a natural phenomenon , Sometimes wrong shape, and sometimes not pronounced. In the process of teaching, when children appear wrong, teachers should not repeat child care mistakes, do not give reinforcement, so as not to cause children to imitate the mistakes, nor can they directly interrupt children's thinking, demanding to correct language errors, we should carefully observe and find out the language Wrong reasons, euphemistic and indirect way to inspire children to distinguish pronunciation correct and wrong, correct mistakes in a timely manner, to encourage children bold pronunciation, and usually teachers should be more praise, encourage more children, so that children experience the joy of success , Thereby enhancing their self-confidence and enthusiasm to learn English.
Fifth, pay attention to fun, will review throughout the day teaching activities
No matter what people learn English, will not forget to forget after reading, which requires teachers in their daily teaching, after learning, timely review them. Through review, not only improve children's hearing ability to make sense of the small changes in the voice, the difference between correct and wrong pronunciation, and training of children's coordination of the pronunciation organs, after review so that children can grasp the pronunciation of words, at the same time random questions , Teachers and students quiz, character shows, games and other interesting forms, throughout the review, to reduce the mechanical review and boring.
Sixth, the daily life of language training
The majority of children's knowledge and skills acquired during their studies are closely related to their daily life. Therefore, teachers should seize the opportunity to use all aspects of daily life, let children say something interesting to him (the teacher may be appropriate individual guidance), such as: eating bowl, dishes words, as well as various around The name of something that infuses random education into teaching. However, children's reading ability and oral English vary widely. Some people can pronounce words boldly while others dare not pronounce their spoken language. This requires teachers to care more and approach children with weaker ability and ask them intentionally Speaking and creating situations to encourage them to pronounce their voices boldly. For more capable children, higher demands can be put on them, such as asking them to read songs of children, lead nursery rhymes and perform English melodrama.
In short, English teaching must follow the law of children's language learning, pay attention to children as the mainstay, the teacher-led principle, and carry out targeted, interesting English teaching activities, so that children really active participation in lively and vivid English learning Come, experience the joy of learning!
