As kindergarten teachers, we should improve our own quality and use flexible teaching methods. As Sukhomlinsky said: "If you do not want knowledge to become dead, static learning, you must turn language into a primary instrument." "In kindergarten education, only by using this tool can we lay a good foundation for the cultivation of creative tasks." Cultivating children's language skills is a difficult task for kindergarten educators. As a kindergarten teacher, we must grasp this period and strive to cultivate and improve children's language expression ability.
Language is the bridge between people, the main tool of human communication, the former Soviet Union famous educator Sukhomlinsky wrote in the article: "An important means of influencing people's hearts is language. Language in the teacher's teaching is a powerful tool, like an instrument in the hands of a performer: paint and brush in the hands of a painter: a knife and marble in the hands of a sculptor. Without instruments, there is no music: this requires that preschool teachers must cultivate children's language expression ability in an all-round and multi-angle manner. So as to improve children's interest in learning, change passive acceptance to active thinking, in order to achieve the basic teaching goals of completing language teaching tasks. Here are a few points of advice and methods in my teaching work:
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, the quality of the teachers themselves</h1>
1. Require preschool teachers to master the characteristics of children's language development
For preschool teachers, grasping the characteristics of early childhood language development is a necessary condition for improving the language of early childhood teachers. The language development of young children is closely related to the development of children's thinking and understanding, for example, young children cannot understand the "opposite" said by preschool teachers When teachers speak to young children in sarcastic and sarcastic language, they cannot hear the teacher's positive words and reverses. There was a small class of children who had just entered the kindergarten answering the teacher's question, "How many eyes does a person have?" The teacher was very angry and said: "People have four eyes" The child immediately nodded his head and said: "It is four eyes" Such a retort will only cause the child's thinking to be more confused and will not play a good educational effect. Young children's understanding of language can only be understood according to the superficial meaning, and the younger the age, the more obvious this feature is. Only by grasping the characteristics of children's language development, especially grasping the ability and level of children to understand adult language, can preschool teachers more effectively use language to guide and educate children in different occasions and in various activities in kindergartens.
2. Preschool teachers should consciously strengthen their language cultivation
(1) The language of kindergarten teachers strives to be accurate and fluent
Language cultivation should focus on the accuracy and fluency of individual use of language. Teachers' language should be clear, clear, accurate, and not ambiguous. The teacher's language pronunciation must be accurate and strive to achieve the correct and rounded words. As we all know, the imitation ability of young children is very strong, in the kindergarten their main imitator is the preschool teacher, so the language of the preschool teacher should be standardized to avoid "doll cavity" ("doll cavity" refers to some irregular children's language) such as: "car" as "beep", "urinate" as "boo", "sleep" said as "awareness" and so on. Only when the language cultivation of preschool teachers can be improved, can they set a good example for children and effectively teach.
(2) Teachers should strive for purity in language and overcome vulgarization
Language is not an isolated phenomenon, it is closely related to ideological character, cultural quality, etc. A teacher of high moral character, his language should be pure, civilized and healthy, should be able to promote the intellectual development of young children, can stimulate children's interest in learning, and can cultivate children's healthy and upward emotions. Conversely, vulgar language can only have a negative impact on young children.
Once, Serena was always naughty in class, and I got angry and shouted to him, "You're such a troublemaker!" At that time, several children also shouted at him: "Trickster! The next day, as soon as Serena entered the classroom, the toddlers in the classroom shouted at him, "Trickster!" Xiao Wei looked at the child with grievances, and there were tears in his eyes. Seeing such a scene, the author realized that my inadvertent angry words had caused harm to Serena. After comforting Serena and educating the other children, the matter was settled. However, the author is deeply aware that as kindergarten teachers, we should avoid using uncivilized vulgar language such as "get out", "trick-or-treat", "you are stupid", etc. It is necessary to use mellow language as much as possible to touch young children and make them form a pure, civilized and healthy spiritual world.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, in terms of teaching</h1>
1.Use "word extension" to train children's language skills
In teaching, take a word as an extension point and do the training of group words and sentences. Practice has proved that teachers often use some words that are easy for children to understand and accept to form words and sentences, which can not only increase children's knowledge, but also play a role in cultivating children's oral expression ability. Such as: eat: ask the children to give the word "eat" to find friends, and compete "to see who is looking for the most friends." Now that the class is active, the children actively use their brains to think, and quickly raise their small hands: "Eat", "Eat fruit", "Eat watermelon", "Eat peach"... Then, ask the toddler to say some sentences related to this, and the toddler actively speaks: "I ate rice today", "I ate a big apple at Grandma's house." ”...... This oral sentence connection is the simplest form of oral language training, starting from oral sentence construction and gradually guiding young children to express themselves in a complete sentence.
2. Create a language expression situation
Situational performance has scenes, characters, plots, actions during the performance process, dialogue, strong intuitiveness, can induce children's interest in observation and desire to tell. Let the children observe the expressions and movements of the teacher or peers (that is, take the form of mime) to carry out language training, promote "thinking" with "thinking", and train young children to speak completely and properly with "thinking" and "speaking". While enriching and consolidating vocabulary, we must also pay attention to cultivating children to speak completely and coherently, so that they can tell along certain clues, explain things clearly, and describe things appropriately. In the teaching process, it is necessary to closely follow the theme according to the order of character appearance and plot development, put forward some inspiring questions, and cultivate children's ability to coherent language. Promotes the development of oral language in young children.
3. Use intuitive pictures
When choosing pictures, choose more pictures with plots that are conducive to developing children's thinking, such as "Splitting Apples", "Cat Doctor Crossing the River", "Bright Glass Windows", "Hide and Seek" and so on. Secondly, the activity is carried out in the process of asking questions. You can first let the child have a perceptual understanding of the picture, and ask some more intuitive questions: such as who is in the picture? What did they do? ...... So that the narration from the surface and inside, from the inside to the field in depth, to further understand the connotation of the picture, so as to achieve the child's narration has a beginning and an end, there is a plot and a process, and the child's speech is gradually orderly.
epilogue
In short, the development of children's language should improve the quality of teachers themselves and use flexible teaching methods. As Sukhomlinsky said: "If you do not want knowledge to become dead, static learning, you must turn language into a primary instrument." "In kindergarten education, only by using this tool can we lay a good foundation for the cultivation of creative tasks." As a kindergarten teacher, we must establish a belief, use our lives to create our own teaching language, internalize culture, thoughts and love and responsibility for young children into our own things, and form our own unique teaching language, because this is our teaching tool, but also the key to open children's hearts and wisdom.
