As the former Soviet educationalist Makarenko said, language has had two qualities from the beginning, one is growth and the other is integration. The former pushes each person's language ability forward and continues to be exposed to more complex and comprehensive linguistic information; the latter gradually integrates this information to form a language system with personal imprints.
One-year-old literacy, two-year-old vocabulary, three-year-old sentences, language development and age growth one-to-one correspondence. Of course, not all children's language development rate can strictly follow this law, for example, some children may enter the imitation period faster, but some children may be worse, with language levels that lag far behind those of their peers.
The so-called language problem often occurs in such a drastic stage of change.
When language problems occur, timely language training may be the only solution
Stuttering, large tongues, language delays, numerous language problems appear sooner or later at every stage of a child's development, and "persistently" affect every child. Taking stuttering as an example, many children's stuttering time is mostly concentrated in preschool or adolescence, and these children are mainly affected by imitation suggestions, family and social factors, and the spread of tension.
In the last century, the language problem was still regarded as an "evil disease" that could not be saved, and the first reaction of many people to the problem of language was not to change, but to give up, because most people choose this way. Even celebrities such as the British prince developed a lack of confidence, cowardice and irritability because of stuttering.
But can language issues really not be changed? Of course not, timely language training is the only solution.
In fact, the history of language training has a long history, in the ancient Greek period more than 2,000 years ago, there were orators with stones to practice, of course, this training method is relatively shallow, the effect is also different from person to person. In modern times, the way of language training is more systematic and scientific. It just so happens that today Xiaobian invited experts from the Xiamen Center of our institution to talk to us about hot issues related to language training.
First question: What is language training?
In the knowledge and understanding of many people, language training is almost equivalent to talking, so in their view, language training is basically useless, and it does not have to spend a lot of energy on it. However, is this really the case?
In fact, professional language training has three aspects: systematic, scientific and comprehensive.
1. Systematic
Language training is a systematic discipline, so it needs to consider more than one aspect of language in language rehabilitation, but also the intelligence level, cognitive ability, psychological state and personality of people with language impairment.
2. Scientific
Language training is not a slap on the head that can jump out, it is a scientific correction system. Through the language proficiency assessment, personality and behavioral ability consideration, psychological state test and other means to determine the category of language problems of the other party, and finally tailor a complete language training plan.
3. Comprehensive
In short, language training can be more than two disciplines of linguistics or speech pathology, it also includes psychology, pedagogy, child education and so on. Therefore, language training is essentially a comprehensive language rehabilitation system constructed by using complex subject categories.
The second question: What role can language training play?
1. Change the wrong pronunciation style, habits and language status
For people who are affected by language problems such as stuttering and large tongues, the role of language training is a good medicine, it can change the deep-rooted problems of language barriers through professional means, and can also reshape correct language ability, so that the wrong pronunciation that has been stereotyped can return to normal.
2. Stimulate the potential of language, communication and communication are no longer difficult
Some children's language problems arise relatively early, which not only forms a difficult and troublesome wrong pronunciation, but also affects the child's language development to a certain extent. But the advent of language training has re-stimulated children's language potential, bringing to life language abilities that could not be developed.
The third question: What should parents avoid in language training?
Contrary to the perception of many people, the family is also an important participant in language training, and the practices of parents greatly affect the child's language recovery. Experts at the Nanjing Center pointed out that parents must avoid doing these things in language training:
1. Avoid communicating in two or more languages/dialects at home;
2. Avoid excessive contact with mobile phones, computers and other electronic devices;
3. Parents should avoid exporting too many emotions in front of their children, such as quarrels and scolding;
4. Be patient after the correction begins, and parents should avoid falling into the wrong concept of blindly comparing and catching up with the progress of other people's language.
