A hardcore English cartoon recommendation is coming!
The recommended principle of this English animation list is mainly based on animation produced by the British BBC, plus some animations from other English-speaking countries that are very suitable for enlightenment.
Compared with the lively animation style in North America, I personally believe that British animation is calm, very calm to develop a story, but also with the perspective of children to tell some adult social problems, coupled with the unique humor of the United Kingdom, it will not be uncomfortable to accept, there are many works that children will follow after the pit.
In addition, British animation is also good at making history, literature, philosophy and other content into works that are easy for children to accept, and the humanistic connotation is rich.
The BBC's animation is mainly broadcast on two children's channels: one is CBBC, aimed at children aged 8+, and the other is CBeebies, who face children under 8 years old. From the perspective of enlightenment, CBeebies is the first stop more suitable for children to enter the pit. Animations range from three or five minutes to twenty minutes long, all within the range of what children can accept. The recommended animations all share several common qualities:
Artistic
Art here refers to visual art, music, scripts, dialogue design, and so on. For example, the excellent visual art of an animation is the basic aesthetic aesthetic education needs of children, and the accumulation of more will have their own judgments on the merits of animation works.
Understandable input
In learning a second language, input of moderate difficulty can achieve the effect of understanding and application.
Reasonable repetition
Using techniques such as plot design, song rhythm or scene reproduction, children can be exposed to some basic vocabulary in a short animation time, which is a good start for language learning.
There are also several principles for not being included in the recommended list:
I don't recommend more familiar works, there are many such resources, and you can find them without effort;
If there is no original English resource in China, it is not recommended, because it cannot be seen;
For the same type of English enlightenment animation, I chose to include it that I prefer.
Therefore, this is a relatively personal list, and the classification criteria are also judged according to the content of the animation and the child's reaction. Everyone can adjust according to the preferences of their own dolls.
An animation suitable for babies aged 2 to 4 years old
In view of the characteristics of low-grade children's attention span is not long, the cognitive level is limited, this part of the animation time is basically between 3-10 minutes, the scene where the story takes place is simple, the characters are simple, the dialogue design is routine, the speed of speech is relatively slow, and some basic life cognition will be taught, and the drawing style is cute.
