Text/Ying Mama, pay attention to learn more wonderful!
Scientists have shown that if the child is placed in a foreign language environment at the age of 1-3, the brain will use the left hemisphere to process grammatical information, just like the mother tongue, but if the time is pushed back to 4-6 years old to contact foreign languages, it means that the brain needs to process grammatical information through two halves, and the child will have a harder time mastering it.
I always hear parents around me asking, "Do you need to enroll your child in a foreign language training class?" "How do you start english for your child?" "Some parents worry that their English pronunciation is not standard, or that their vocabulary is too small to enlighten their children. Or worry that learning two languages at the same time will affect the learning basis of the mother tongue.
Then dragging and dragging, the child is in kindergarten, and then thinking about the training class, in fact, the best period for learning language has been missed.
Studies have shown that before the age of six is a sensitive period for learning a language, especially before the age of 3. If children are in a foreign language environment for a long time, they can learn language completely unconsciously, and when learning language, they can distinguish the occurrence of different languages and gradually learn to use it correctly.
Educator Maria Montessori expressed the same view. She believes that the mental mechanism by which children learn language begins in a state where the brain is completely unconscious, and after development it becomes part of the brain. After this stage, the process after that is more of a conscious process.
So, we can come to a stage where learning language without skill, immersion is the only way to acquire language, and the sooner this environment is infiltrated, the better.
What are the ways for ordinary parents to enlighten their children in foreign languages?
(1) Daily multi-parent interaction
Usually, when parents play with their children at home, language training can be paid attention to. In addition to native dialogue, you can also add English words and simple sentences to the input.
For a small baby before the age of one, seeing the object he is interested in, you can use English words to introduce, (worried about pronunciation can first listen to the degree mother, in fact, the child has a strong ability to accept, once the future learns the authentic pronunciation, some small mistakes can also be quickly corrected), such as the baby likes to eat bananas, you can teach him: this is "banana". Some daily necessities, food, fruits, animals and other words can be entered slowly. Tell your baby words such as noose, hand, face, mouth, etc. for their body parts.
When your baby is older, you can teach your baby some simple phrases and sentences. Everyday polite phrases such as "Good morning (afternoon)", "How old are you?", "See you tomorrow", "You are good!". Describe the weather: "It's a sunny/cloudy day!". Express ideas and needs: "1 (don't )like....", "What do you think of....", "Can I go to.....?" ”,“Is this a （flower）？ ”，“I want （some water）”。 Express expectations: "Come on", let the baby develop a good habit of saying casually and not asking.
(2) Provide an authentic language environment
The most important thing about language learning is the atmosphere, with the development of the early education market, there are more and more channels for learning. In addition to listening to English nursery rhymes through some apps, watching English videos, dvds, and learning through various picture books with point reading or audio is also a very common way.
Unlike children in English-speaking countries who have the advantage of innate language environment, there is no more suitable for children who do not have an English foundation in China than English graded reading materials.
