Pronunciation refers to the sound signal produced by the flow of air through the vocal organ and discharged into a special channel. For most people, speaking and pronouncing is not a difficult task, because our language skills have long been formed, and the use of various basic pronunciation skills has been used freely. However, for children who have just begun to learn pronunciation, their pronunciation is likely to be biased, resulting in a series of language problems such as unclear pronunciation and inaccurate pronunciation.
Of course, the children's pronunciation problems should also be divided into ages to look at, if the child is one or two years old pronunciation is not clear, it is actually a normal phenomenon, because the baby's vocal organs have not yet matured, the airflow control is not skilled, naturally it is not clear about the pronunciation. But if the three or four years old is still like this, then parents should pay attention, it is best to take their children to a professional language agency for consultation, so as not to delay the recovery of language.
The pronunciation correction steps that can be performed in the home should be done
Because the average family lacks the ability and knowledge reserve to correct pronunciation, many times parents can only passively accompany their children to practice, and cannot take the initiative to help their children. So next, I'll tell you how to do family pronunciation correction.
1. Breath is the premise, and it is important to strengthen the breath
Whether it is active or passive, breath is a very important prerequisite. For example, many children with functional dysarthria are confused and inaccurate because the breath is not strong. The children's breath explosion is not strong enough, and naturally it is impossible to force the accurate emission of such as the burst sound. Therefore, if you want to strengthen the breath, parents may wish to exercise with their children at home by blowing balloons, table tennis and so on.
2. Recognize pronunciation to be specific, but also "one board and one glance"
When children first start to learn the pronunciation of words, parents can prepare a small album for their children in advance, and represent each pronunciation with specific object pictures, such as /e/ with a swan with a bent neck, /q/ represented by a small balloon, and so on. Let children improve their pronunciation cognition while also exercising their logical skills. In addition, when teaching children to learn the pronunciation of words, parents should make the movements exaggerated and open their mouths to show the children the process of pronunciation.
3. It is also important to correct the wrong word sound in a timely manner
When children just learn pronunciation, there will inevitably be mistakes and omissions, at this time, parents should not be in a hurry, they should correct their children's wrong pronunciation in an encouraging way, so that he knows what the correct pronunciation should be. Correcting the child's wrong pronunciation in time can effectively avoid the formation of wrong habits and the formation of language barriers.
When the family corrects the pronunciation, parents remember the "three don'ts"
1. Do not actively interrupt your child's pronunciation
When a child's pronunciation is wrong, parents should not rudely interrupt, but wait until the child is finished before pointing out where he has made a mistake. Because the frequency of parents' active interruption behavior is likely to affect the child's interest in pronunciation, and even interfere with their original correct pronunciation expression.
2. Don't correct your pronunciation with emotion
Children learn things quickly and slowly, but some parents are eager to learn everything and teach everything to their children, resulting in children who do not know how to pronounce it more and more easily, and are more likely to form wrong pronunciation. The more wrong, the parents' emotions become more and more impatient, not only did not play a corrective role, but affected the child's learning of different character sounds.
3. Don't "fish for three days and dry nets for two days"
Some parents are difficult to persevere in correcting the pronunciation of their children's words, patient enough to persist for more than half a month, lack of patience may give up in a few days, but how much effect can this play in the child's pronunciation correction?
Finally, the language experts of the Nanjing Center warned parents: When the child has a problem with pronunciation, it is best to consult with a professional institution to see how the child's language status and language ability are, and then decide whether to correct it at home when the psychology is certain. Of course, language agencies are still our best choice.
Professional language agencies are preferred for language issues
The American Pediatric Association pointed out that when young children have language problems, they should receive professional language rehabilitation training as soon as possible, which is conducive to restoring children's language function and avoiding interference from the environment, strangers and other factors, which will cause psychological and personality problems.
The first choice that can help children restore language function is naturally a professional language agency. Why? Because professional language institutions can tailor their own correction programs for children's language ability, language development level, language status, etc., through comprehensive correction methods such as guidance and interaction, they can reshape children's language ability from shallow to deep and avoid unnecessary language risks.
However, parents should also pay attention to distinguishing between true and false, identifying risks, and avoiding the deception of "fake institutions" when choosing language institutions, otherwise they will not only lose money, but also delay the best correction time for children, resulting in children being more and more affected by language barriers.
So how do we distinguish language agencies and choose those that are professional enough? You may wish to take a look at the previous article, I believe it can be helpful to everyone.
