Motivation is the reason that motivates a person to do something and spend precious time. Therefore, before starting a long and important undertaking, you need to find your “guiding star,” or maybe several. So, why should kids learn English? First of all, this is another way of communication, the same as communication in native language. IN preschool age the emphasis is on developing the ability to perceive, understand and reproduce the sounds of not only native speech, but also other languages. This will help you learn languages ​​more easily in the future and feel at ease in the company of people who speak other languages. In addition, staging pronunciation is a kind of articulatory gymnastics, developing speech organs.

From what age?

The sooner you start teaching your child, the more realistic your goals will become. After all, Glenn Doman, an American teacher and psychologist, in his research came to the conclusion that a child under the age of 3 is capable of showing amazing results in matters of learning ability. And if your baby is not yet a year old, consider yourself lucky: you are at the ideal age, from the point of view of linguists, to start teaching your baby a foreign language. But if it so happens that a child gets acquainted with the language at the age of 4–5, this is also normal, perhaps something will go even easier. The main thing is that he likes it.

How?

Each lesson will discuss a specific lexical topic(for example, “Animal World” or “Learning to Greet Each Other”), on the basis of which you can, in the form of training, get acquainted with useful techniques for memorizing and activating your knowledge in the future. In other words, you will learn how to better and more effectively remember and apply the acquired knowledge in practice. The main thing is to practice regularly and believe in success. So, let's get to work!

Lesson 1.

We will devote the first lesson to getting to know the English alphabet. We offer you a number of exercises and fun games aimed at effectively memorizing and automating speaking skills. You and your child will be able to apply the acquired knowledge on your next trip abroad.

Alphabet

English alphabet– this is the basis of knowledge. It’s not for nothing that first-graders at school begin learning their native Russian language with the alphabet. The English alphabet consists of 26 letters, which is slightly less than the Russian one.

To remember the alphabet, we can use the following hint: the song “ABC Song”. Thanks to the wonderful melody and accentuation of certain letters by voice, the alphabet is easy to remember. You can find this song on the Internet, or try reading the alphabet in such a way that the letters marked in bold are sung a little longer than the others. So let's try:

Hey, bi, si, di, and,

ef, ji-i-i,

H, ah, jay, kay, el, em, en, oh, pi-i-i,

Q, ar, es, ti,

u and vi-i-i,

Yes-a-able yu, ex,

W&Z-i-i.

Naw ay know may

Hey BBC:

Twenty Six Let's

from hey to zi.

This in English looks like a short poem:

A, B, C, D, E, F, G,

H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P,

Q, R, S, T, U and V,

W, X, Y and Z.

Now I know my ABC:

Twenty six letters

from A to Z.

(Now I know the entire alphabet: all 26 letters from A to Z.)

Read the alphabet first yourself, then find a melody on the Internet and listen to it several times with your child. Then you can sing the song together. Invite your child’s favorite toys to your home concert: place a soft cat or bear next to an imaginary stage, take your child by the hand and sing a song about the alphabet together for your audience.

If your mother is a needlewoman, then she will be able to make a wonderful typesetting canvas with multi-colored pockets where the letters are inserted. The canvas can be made in such a way that the number of letters in a row corresponds to the number of letters in the song “ABC Song” - then the child will be able to fill out the typesetting canvas accompanied by musical accompaniment. Both fun and educational!

You can also make cards with letters. Take thick cardboard and write the letters with a red and blue felt-tip pen (blue for consonants, red for vowels). The optimal size of cards is 10x10cm. When a child good mood and he doesn’t mind working out a little (you shouldn’t force him, he must have a desire, otherwise you won’t achieve results), let him take a place next to you, and you start showing him cards with the alphabet, calling out each letter loudly and clearly. We show the card quickly, name it, remove it, replace the card with another one. The one second rule applies here: one card per second.

Thus, the child learns not only to quickly “grasp” information and concentrate, but also successfully develops the so-called photographic memory.

Play with your child by hiding one of the letters. You can immediately ask in English: “Where is letter C?” /Where is the letter si?/ [ua from lete si?] For the first lesson, it will be natural if you translate the question into Russian, then translation will no longer be needed: when you start the letter search game, the child will situationally understand what is required of him. Look for the letter together, play up the moment of finding it.

If you have blocks with letters of the English alphabet at home, you can include them in your games: build towers and houses. Ask your child to first build a house using only the letters from the first line of the ABC Song, then add blocks with letters from the second line of the song. Let him name each letter when he picks up the right cube. When the house is “built”, sing the song again!

Exercises to reinforce the material

Task No. 1: Write it down english letters. The artist was in such a hurry that he forgot to finish drawing them. Help him.

Task No. 2: You have just learned the letters of the English alphabet. Look carefully and say what letters of the English alphabet these Russian letters are similar to. Tell me how they are pronounced in English and Russian.

Without knowledge of foreign languages modern world difficult to get by. Therefore, many parents begin to teach their baby English almost from the cradle. How justified is such a desire? At what age is it better to start training? Much in this important matter depends on the methodology and approach to training.

Benefits of early English learning

There is no clear opinion about whether it is possible to learn a foreign language from the age of 3. There are enough opponents of this idea and its supporters in the world.

Their arguments sometimes seem contradictory

Supporters Opponents
At 3 years old, the baby actively explores the world and like a sponge, absorbs any knowledge, including a foreign language In the baby's head there is a confusion of words from 2 languages, and it is difficult for him to express his thoughts accurately
By this age, the child has a sufficient vocabulary of words in his native language. Remains duplicate their sound in English Due to the different pronunciation of letters in Russian and English for the baby speech therapy problems arise
A three-year-old child has no fear of making a mistake and appearing stupid, that is, he has there is no language barrier First baby must know your native language well, and only then learn a foreign language
kids have better linguistic plasticity than adults Early learning of English deprives a child of childhood
At 3 years of age, the child’s brain is actively developing, which does foreign language learning tongue easy business Simultaneous learning of two languages reduces intellectual level baby
Knowledge of a second language has a positive effect on native and general knowledge mental development - thinking, memory, imagination, attention Bilingualism is the mixing of two cultures. Child will not fully understand any of them
In children an adequate response appears earlier for various life situations Children learning 2 languages ​​experience split personality
In children with early bilingualism (the ability to speak two languages) nervous system more stable, they are more contactable, they achieve their goals more easily

Domestic (S. I. Rubinstein, L. S. Vygotsky) or foreign (T. Eliot, V. Penfield, B. White and many others) psychologists are unanimous in the opinion that it is useless to study a foreign language before the age of 3, and after 10 is meaningless.

Let's listen to the opinion of scientists and start learning English as soon as the baby turns 3 years old.

What you need to know before starting classes

Before starting to study English at home, parents need to prepare themselves and take into account some nuances

  1. You need to start classes on the condition that you can conduct them regularly, and not occasionally.
  2. If you are not fluent in English, take the trouble to polish your pronunciation before class. When a child, repeating after you, pronounces words incorrectly, it will be difficult for him to relearn at school.
  3. Before teaching your baby, check out existing methods, choose the one that you think will best suit your baby.
  4. Language learning should be done in a fun, playful way. Boring cramming of English words will discourage the little fidget from repeating English words.

How to teach your child English. Methods and techniques

When teaching your little one, you need to use all possible ways to introduce them to the English language.

  • Special techniques.
  • Audio and video recordings.
  • Children's programs on teaching English.
  • Games.
  • Entertaining books and special cards.

The key to success when teaching English at home is that all classes are conducted in a light playful manner, without coercion or prodding from adults.

The more interesting you present your child with the necessary material, the more interested he will be in learning new things.

For homeschooling 3 popular methods are most often used.

Game technique

The name already speaks for itself. This method of learning a foreign language is the most effective, since it does not look like a special activity that requires perseverance.

The baby receives the necessary knowledge in the process of games or communication with parents and assimilates information without noticing it.

The use of the game method promotes an accessible way of acquiring knowledge

  1. Creating the child’s readiness for verbal communication (including in a foreign language).
  2. During the game, the baby has a need to repeat certain phrases many times, so English words are easy for them to remember.
  3. Learning during the game occurs through the baby’s own actions, which are a kind of practice. As a result, up to 90% of the information is absorbed.
  4. In any game there is a certain secret (an unanswered answer to a particular question), which stimulates the child’s mental activity, pushing him to find the correct answer.

They begin learning with the simplest objects and toys. The kid will easily remember that “dog” is a dog, and “cat” is a cat.

Replenish your baby's vocabulary every day. When talking to your baby, pronounce words he already knows in English. Immersion in a language environment, when the child hears English spoken daily, is the key to successful learning.

To study and consolidate information, you need to use all methods available and understandable to the child.

Here are just a few examples

 In addition to the book there is video on You Tub. A funny story about how a dad and his kids went in search of a bear. The book is very lively and bright. And if you watch a video where the author reads in a very funny and exciting way, you will understand how fun it is to convey the content to a child.
The book “We play, we learn, we make things - we want to know English.” A book for parents who want to teach their child English. Educational stories, each of which includes English words. All lessons contain fascinating songs, rhymes, and puzzles. The book was published only this year; no reviews have been found yet.
Cartoon “Lessons from Aunt Owl. English alphabet for children." Aunt Owl talks fascinatingly about each letter of the alphabet and the words that begin with them An excellent educational cartoon. Your kids, if they are not yet familiar with Auntie Owl, will definitely make friends with her.
Cartoon "Teddy the Train". A fun video English course for kids. Simple songs are easy to understand and remember. Teddy is just a wonderful character, wonderful music. My little one asks to play a cartoon several times a day and has already learned his first words in English.

The Karusel TV channel hosts an educational children's program “Funny English” . At this time, kids simply cannot be taken away from the screen. Training takes place in the form of a game that captures the baby’s attention from the first seconds.

The presenter uses visual, auditory and audio methods of transmitting information to memorize. Kids learn lessons very quickly and after just a few programs they surprise adults with their knowledge.

N. Zaitsev's method

Many mothers are familiar with Zaitsev’s methods for teaching reading and arithmetic. When learning English, he uses the same technique, only Latin letters are written on the cubes and cards.

You can remember the alphabet and learn a certain number of English words by using the play method with your child. Zaitsev's cubes help a child master English grammar in an accessible form.

However, at the age of three, it is difficult for a baby to learn the rules of sentence construction in English. Therefore, it is better to use Zaitsev’s cubes and tables when the child grows up a little. Usually classes start at the age of 5.

Glen Doman Method

Young mothers try to use the most modern or popular methods to raise and educate their baby, including the Doman method, which has long been known and is successful in the West. Undoubtedly, he has proven himself well and raised more than one generation of children. But, if we take a closer look at the methodology, we will see that it combines a game form of teaching English and the Zaitsev method, that is, books, cartoons plus cards.

Conclusion: in order for a child to quickly master a new science, you should not force him to take classes, but structure them in such a way that the child himself wants to learn. When your baby learns the first foreign words, speak to him in English as often as possible - on a walk, before bed or while bathing. Don't forget to encourage your baby and praise him for the results achieved.

Didactic material for learning English with kids













This article was conceived by me just during the long-awaited summer holidays and holidays. "Education - hard labour, and in the summer you should take a break from studying.” This is the stereotypical opinion formed by the majority.

But education, early development, and in particular, the learning of a foreign language by children under the age of three can be looked at differently. You can continue to “develop” and “learn” without weekend breaks. In any weather, at any time of the year, everywhere, on the street, at the dacha, at the resort, on the train...

My one-year-old baby and I began to master the English language we will be talking about without grueling cramming and class schedules, without tutors, while sunbathing on the beach or walking in playgrounds.

Why do children under three years old need English?

Opponents of early learning a foreign language believe that this can cause speech delay, speech therapy and other problems. Without endlessly weighing all the existing pros and cons, I will indicate two main reasons that prompted me to resolve this issue positively.

  1. It is much easier to teach a child under three years of age a foreign language than an older child (I have verified this from personal experience).
  2. Learning a foreign language, and even together with your baby, is incredibly interesting! The child absolutely loves it and causes a flurry of positive emotions, of course, subject to certain conditions.

Learning is not a burden, but a joy

In order not to deviate too much from the main topic, I will outline point by point the most significant provisions that help make “classes” of a foreign language as exciting and productive as possible.

  1. Positive thinking and belief in the limitless creative and mental capabilities of man.
  2. The absence of any violence, including in the form of coercion, rigid programs and class schedules, attempts to intrusively ask questions and “pull out” answers to check what has been learned, etc. Even skillfully veiled pressure or the intention to force one to engage can cause a long-lasting negative reaction and weaken emotional contact. This rule is almost impossible to implement in early development groups that require at least a class schedule. The smaller the child, the more unacceptable the pressure on him! Here it is reasonable to assume that if parents follow this rule one hundred percent, children will not study at all, so I will dwell in a little more detail on the next point 3.
  3. Parental sensitivity and pedagogical insight, that is, the ability to notice what the child is currently showing interest in, respond to the child’s requests in a timely manner, and, using all your intellectual baggage, turn this seemingly fleeting manifestation of simple childish curiosity into an exciting “activity” .
  4. The readiness and desire of the parents themselves to develop and learn. It is impossible to embrace the immensity. And yet, if you don’t know how to teach your child to draw, buy a suitable drawing textbook for the little ones. If you decide to study a foreign language with your child, enroll in the courses yourself... Search and try different variants, create, learn! Your efforts will not be in vain, because the willingness of parents to learn and develop will help today's kids grow up to be socially active and creative people.
  5. Ability to give timely praise

Many adults are big fans of criticizing and teaching. The ability to praise is another important skill to learn. You can express your approval to your child wordlessly, with words, and in a comprehensive manner.

Wordless praise can include not only a simple pat on the head, but also applause, handshakes, kisses, twirling, hugging and tossing.

You can learn to express your delight with gestures from a boxer who wins a fight, a cyclist who wins a race, a football player who scores a goal, in general, from athletes, or, for example, from an expert from “What? Where? When?”, which gave the correct answer to a complex question.

Praise expressed in words does not have to be like a eulogy. Often they limit themselves to the words “well done” or “clever girl” and this is quite enough. IN different situations You can use other expressions and exclamations: Russian “Wow! How brave/smart you are!”, “How clever/smart you are!”, “You did well!”, “I can’t believe it!”, “Brilliant!”, “Keep it up!”, or the English “Well done!” , “Good job!”, “You're golden!”, “I knew, you could do it!”, “You're perfect!”, “You're the best!”, “You're the champion! ", "Excellent!" and a lot of others.

Complex praise refers to the simultaneous use of gestures, actions and words.

Of course, all of the above provisions relate to education and developmental education in general, but let’s move directly to the issues of learning English.

Principles of teaching English to children from 0 to 3 years old

The basic principles of training are:

  • maintaining the physical and mental health of children;
  • taking into account features psychological development children under three years of age, the visual-effective nature of the thinking of children of this age (that is, knowledge of the world around them occurs in the process of real object manipulations), and the leading type of activity (which is object-manipulative play).
  • compliance of educational material with the level of anatomical, physiological, mental and mental development of children;
  • accessibility and visibility;
  • communication focus;
  • personal orientation;
  • interconnected/integrated training in types of speech activity, listening, speaking

Learning Objectives

The goal of teaching English to children aged 0 to 3 years is to promote the full, timely development of the child, the development of his intellectual, emotional and social spheres in the process of mastering the basics of English-language communication.

The practical goal of training is the formation of elementary English-language communicative competence. The communicative competence of a child under three years of age is formed as speech, language and sociocultural competences develop. Speech competence implies the mastery and development of listening and speaking skills. This is nothing more than the ability to use language adequately and appropriately in specific situations. Linguistic competence combines phonetic, lexical and grammatical competence. Sociocultural competence includes regional and linguistic competencies.

Thus, practical purpose Teaching English to children from 0 to 3 years old involves children mastering listening and speaking skills sufficient to either adequately respond to what they hear, or enter into verbal contact with an interlocutor, maintain a conversation, receive and convey basic information related to the content children's communication, finish communication, etc., and not just say some words or phrases in English.

Learning Objectives

  • purposefully teach communication in English within those areas of communication that are associated with the world of early childhood;
  • introduce children to elements of English-speaking socioculture;
  • develop a positive attitude towards the world around you.

Where to begin?

If you decide to study a second language with your child, which is generally foreign to your original culture, the first thing you need to do is try to artificially create a different language environment and learn to feel comfortable in it. Young children do very well without explanations of grammar or phonetics. And the only way to develop cognitive motives and interest in a foreign language in children under three years of age is the interweaving of these motives and interests into an object-manipulative game and the visually effective nature of presentations of language samples.

Teaching children under three years of age the English language begins with developing the ability to perceive English speech by ear. Listening is not only the perception of messages, but also the preparation in internal speech of a response to what is heard. Listening prepares speaking; it contributes to mastery of the sound side of the language, phonemic composition, intonation, and speech patterns.

When playing with a small child, we quite often imitate the clatter of hooves, the barking of a dog, the buzzing of a bee, etc. In exactly the same way, you can try to “present” the sounds of the English language (there are 44 sounds, 20 vowels and 24 consonants in the English language). The number of sounds and the duration of the “presentation” itself should be chosen based on the principle of parental sensitivity; you should see whether the child likes it or not. In this way, the child’s phonetic competence will gradually develop. If you are not sure of pronunciation, or are not at all familiar with the sound composition of the language you are studying, take as many lessons from a specialist as you need.

The child should often hear English spoken, children's songs, rhymes, and fairy tales in English.

What materials should I use?

Any, if they come from the country whose language you are studying, and if they are connected with the world of childhood. These are toy books, fairy tales, alphabet books, music CDs, CDs with cartoons or films, and other video or audio resources from the Internet.

When selecting materials, take into account the age of the child - English nursery rhymes and simple English songs are more suitable for infants, and video materials can be offered to older children.

Many rhyming poems are ready-made finger, gesture or other active educational games. They can be found on English-language sites, or, for example, on YouTube. Just type in any search engine the name of the poem/song you are looking for and choose any option you like.

Work on the poem is carried out in several stages:

  • preliminary study of lexical and grammatical material (performed by the parent);
  • working on words that are difficult to pronounce, intonation, rhythm (performed by the parent)
  • expressive reading of the rhyme out loud (performed by the parent);
  • initial listening to the rhyme by the child, with visual and effective support, for example, on a drawing or visual actions;
  • consolidate understanding of the content;
  • memorize the poem;
  • show the child a finger or gesture game based on the content of this rhyme, and periodically invite the child to play it, but, I will not tire of repeating, in appropriate situations or when the child himself wants to play it; Depending on the age, the listed actions can be performed by the parent or the child himself.
  • repeat the rhyme in real life situations

Modern collections such as Mother Goose Books include more than 700 children's poems, songs, counting rhymes, riddles and tongue twisters.

In the first three years of life, it is quite possible to master 100 or more of these rhymes or songs. With frequent listening, singing or reading, these rhymes and songs are easy to memorize and use at appropriate times.

For example, when you put your child to bed, you can rock him in your arms and read a rhyme/sing the song Rock-a-bye, Baby, and with the final words Down will come baby, cradle and all - imitate a smooth fall and lower the child into the crib. When your baby is jumping in his crib, you can read Three Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. When you feed the ducks in the pond, you might think of the rhyme Bread for the Ducks. While playing catch, repeat the rhyme “Here’s a Ball for Baby.” And you can count your toes with the rhyme Five Little Pigs / This Little Pig Went to Market, etc.

Here is a short list of resources that may be useful for children under three years of age:

  • Blue's Clues
  • Dr. Seuss's ABC book/DVD
  • Postman Pat
  • Dora the Explorer
  • www.kneebouncers.com
  • www.mingoville.com (an interactive online educational game that can be very useful for parents who are not confident in their English)
  • www.storynory.com (audio books for children are read by professional speakers, native speakers, useful for introducing children to the melody of English speech, intonation, pronunciation)

Simple, interesting and well-illustrated material, children under three years of age swallow, digest and assimilate at an incredibly high speed and demand more and more! And if we want a child to master a foreign language fluently, it is necessary to speak to him in this language.

What should I say?

Say only what you know for sure. The main language functions at the initial stage are greeting (Hello/Hi!), in the morning (Good morning!), good night wishes (Good night!), farewell (Bye-bye/Goodbye/See you/See you later), which you you can say it while going somewhere; declaration of love (I love you); the ability to ask for something (Give me, please), the ability to name an object, perform an action, etc. That is, it is necessary to constantly introduce children to speech patterns, but always in suitable situations.

Never learn individual words. Learn phrases. For example, don’t just teach your child the word rattle, but say This is a rattle or Shake this rattle, Give me, please, rat yourtle. your rattle”, What a wonderful rattle! / “What a wonderful rattle!”, Where's your rattle? / “Where is your rattle?” etc.

There is a great need for the formation of a clear vocabulary and there is no strictly thematic presentation of material when teaching English to children under three years of age. “Study” the names of food products while eating or going to the food market, the names of animals - where you meet them, that is, at home, on the street, in the zoo, in the village; names of plants - at flower stalls, in a square, park, botanical garden; clothes and shoes - while changing clothes; bath accessories - in the bathroom or pool; dishes - in the kitchen, etc.

Most quickly, children “learn” family members and the names of body parts (they are always with us).

Taking into account the visually active nature of the thinking of children of this age, “study” the English verbs crawl - when you crawl, hug - when you hug a child, tickle - when you tickle a baby, swing - when you swing with him on a swing, read - when you you read something, sing - when you sing, walk - when you walk, etc. How to use these verbs? Children under three years of age are not burdened with the burden of past years and thoughts about the past and future. They live in the present moment. Therefore, the Present Continuous is ideal for our purposes: Oh, my! You’re humming/smiling/dancing/talking! (Just think! You're humming/smiling/dancing/talking something!)

Add variety to your speech by using imperative mood: Look out!/Careful!, Wake up!/Wake up!, Don't touch it!/Don't touch it!, Look at me!/Look at me!, Let's go out!/Let's go for a walk!, Let's read your favorite book!/Let's read your favorite book!, Let him pass!/ Let him pass!, Put it on!/ Put it on!, Take it off/ Take it off! and etc.

You can introduce into speech the modal verb can/be able, be able to: You can walk/ run/ speak/You can walk/run/speak... and interrogative and longer affirmative sentences: Are you hungry/ thirsty?/Do you want to eat/drink?, What are you doing?/What are you doing?, You're clapping your hands/ stamping your feet/riding a pony/ kicking the ball!/You clap your hands/stomp your feet/ride a pony/kick a ball...

Later, learn to give more detailed explanations of the “studied” words, objects and actions: A dog is an animal with four legs, fur and a tail. For this purpose, you can use English children's explanatory dictionaries.

What is important in this case is not the quantity foreign words and speech samples. The child needs to see with his own eyes, touch or even chew all the “studied” nouns with adjectives, and the verbs, phrases and cliches used in conversation must exactly correspond to each specific situation.

Preschoolers aged 5-6 years have long counted all their fingers and toes, learned and touched a lot, gained experience and even complexes. Arousing interest and motivation in them is much more difficult than in children under three years of age, when everything happens, occurs and is learned spontaneously and for the first time. This is one of the main advantages of early learning a foreign language.

The role of music in learning a foreign language

The role of music in learning a foreign language is invaluable. Music and singing attract the child’s attention, develop his listening ability, sense of rhythm, and auditory-motor coordination.

Listen to children's English music CDs as often as possible. Learn each song step by step, just like a rhyme (read the previous chapter). Over two years of regularly listening to different melodies and lyrics, you will learn to sing them yourself in appropriate situations:

  • Deedle, Deedle, Dumpling - when your child, without undressing or taking off his shoes, tries to fall asleep in the crib;
  • I’m a Little Tea-Pot – when you have a kettle boiling in your kitchen;
  • Happy Birthday – during birthday celebrations;
  • Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star - while contemplating the starry sky;

Many of the English children's songs are also sign or other motor games and can be easily dramatized. Working with such songs helps develop speech skills, polishes pronunciation, improves expressiveness of speech, or simply improves mood and develops motor activity.

Do I need to translate?

Once I met a mother who, showing to a small child some object or thing, for example, a sock, was called in two languages ​​at once - Russian and English (“sock/a sock”).

In all competent foreign language courses, teaching is conducted in the target language from the very beginning. Attempts to translate everything at once slow down the process of learning new words and expressions. Children under three years old do not yet distinguish languages ​​and certainly do not need translation.

When and how much to “work out”?

We started “studying” English when my baby understood her native speech well and was already able to pronounce a few simple words like “mom”, “dad”, “lala”, “aunt”, “uncle”.

If we express in percentage terms the use of English and native languages ​​in the process of communication, including listening and reading, then in our case Russian speech will score on average 90%, English – 10%.

Length of stay in “foreign” language environment ranged from one minute to 3 hours a day.

The words “study” or “practice” are deliberately placed in quotation marks. In fact, there is no need to give “lessons.” You need to live with everyday activities, and the time and topics for playing with your child should be chosen based on the principle of parental sensitivity. The duration of communication, listening, reading or video viewing should be determined by the interests and desires of the child and not harm his health.

The main thing is that this happens regularly and without long breaks, and the sounds, words, speech patterns, songs and rhymes presented to the child should be repeated often, but, I will not tire of reminding you, only in suitable situations.

results

What can a three-year-old child from a Russian family say in English? I will give several typical examples from the English speech of my three-year-old daughter, from the entries preserved in my diaries.

  1. After another visit to the zoo, she, bending over funny, came up to me importantly and said: I’m a peacock. “I am a peacock,” and, noticing a wooden stick lying nearby, she immediately picked it up, put it behind her and quickly added: And it’s my tail. “And this is my tail.”
  2. In the morning he comes to my bed, wakes me up, pulls my pillow over himself with a laugh: Good morning, mummy! Get up! I want to take a shower. This pillow is not yours! It's mine! “Good morning, mommy! Get up! I want to take a shower. This is not your pillow! She is mine!".
  3. Diving into a filled bath: One, two, three, dive! Look, I'm diving. “One, two, three, dive!” Look! I'm diving!"
  4. About sour milk: This milk is off! Just smell it! “This milk has turned sour. Just smell it!”
  5. Pushing a rubber mouse under the sofa: Look! The mouse is hiding in the hole. “Look, the little mouse is hiding in a hole.”
  6. After watching the movie “Shrek” (we only watched this movie in English), puffing out our cheeks and flapping our arms like wings: Mum, let’s pretend that you’re a donkey and I’m a fire-breathing dragon. I'm going to fly. See you later! “Mom, let's imagine that you are a donkey, and I am a fire-breathing Dragon. I'm going to fly! Bye!"
  7. I try to get her to have breakfast, she answers very decisively: I’m not hungry. I won't have breakfast. " I am not hungry. I won't have breakfast."
  8. During a picnic, she found a secluded place in the bushes and intends to take a toy elephant there: This is my personal cave. I'll bring my elephant into my cave. (addressing the elephant) Don’t be afraid, Elephant, you’re in good hands. “This is my personal cave. I will take my elephant to the cave. Don’t be afraid, Elephant, you are in good hands.”

As you can see from these examples, the first results of English classes with children under three years old can appear just by the age of three, if you started studying a year or earlier.

From three to six

When my daughter turned three years old, I had to graduate from university and get a job. There was less time for activities with the child, and we enrolled her in kindergarten. We just periodically found the opportunity to read English books, watch English cartoons or listen to our favorite fairy tales in English, usually before bed.

English at school

I felt the real results of our “classes” when my daughter went to school. Despite the fact that she became seriously interested in sports, and this caused some damage to her academic performance, and she did not become an excellent student (she is a stable A student), her grade in English was always excellent.

She reads well, remembers and retells texts and dialogues, and perfectly translates from English into Russian and vice versa. Excellent at composing his own stories in English. At the same time, I never resorted to the help of tutors (which saved us a lot of money), and I never helped her with school English.

Sometimes she complained that English lessons at school were boring for her, but this did not turn into a tragedy. At school English lessons, she still studied transcription signs, rules of reading and writing, in general, everything that is inappropriate to do in early preschool childhood.

At the end of the third grade, without any preparation (!), together with the fifth graders (!), she passed the Cambridge English language proficiency exam (Movers level) at a local British center. I passed it perfectly.

I hope our example will inspire many parents! I wish you good luck with all my heart!


Nowadays, early childhood development, in particular, early learning of foreign languages, is very popular and even fashionable. Quite often, young mothers begin to teach languages ​​(especially English) to one-and-a-half-year-old and even three-month-old (!) babies - they show them cards with English words, put on cartoons in English, etc.

At first glance, it’s a complete benefit. But is it?

From a speech therapy point of view, no. Judge for yourself.

Problem one. The sounds in English and Russian are very different. In English, th - this, think - is the norm. Is thima (winter) and thlushat (listen) the norm in Russian? Of course not.

A child, having not yet mastered the sounds of his native language, from the cradle gets accustomed to sounds that are incorrect in his native language, but correct in English! And then the visits to speech therapists begin... The classics also wrote that you cannot study foreign languages ​​without first mastering your native language well.

Problem two. The first words of an English child and a Russian child differ in the number of syllables. Compare: cat - cat, go - let's go, book - book. In this regard, English children are lucky - their first words are mostly monosyllabic, while Russian ones have two or more syllables.

And what is easier to say to a child: apple or yab-lo-ko? Of course, apple! The parents rejoice: the daughter pointed to the apple and said: “apple.” What is there to be happy about here? The child chose the option that was convenient for him, when in fact he should say “apple.” The child still does not speak his native language well enough, and the parents, without realizing it, are delaying his speech development even further!

Problem three. Children will definitely confuse English and Russian words.

The situation is different if we are talking about a bilingual family - where one parent speaks Russian and the other, for example, French. If you are in the house all the time, I emphasize, all the time! - both languages ​​sound, then the child will not confuse them (of course, there are exceptions here, but basically this is the case), since for him this situation will be natural, he has been “cooking” in it since birth.

The situation is the same with a Russian-speaking family who moved, for example, to Germany: at home they speak Russian, but all social life, everything outside the home, happens only in German. In this case, children also quickly learn the language and do not confuse the languages, since they use both of them constantly, every day.

Thus, if you want your child to learn the language and not confuse words, you will have to speak to him, for example, only in English, and to dad - in Russian.

Of course, we can’t live without foreign languages ​​now; they are very important for children. Of course, they need to be trained. But is it worth doing this in a year or two or three?

I am a linguist, a teacher of English and French, and many people ask me: “Well, are you going to teach your children English and French from the cradle?”

“No way,” I answer.

After all, the child will still have time to learn them. You can start at five or six years old, if you really want to do it earlier, before school, but not at one or three!

The school will also study languages; from the first grade in many schools there will be two languages, and then three. You can always improve your knowledge with the help of courses, tutors, of which there are now a great many, choose - I don’t want to.

Why start learning languages ​​at such a tender age? Isn't it better to pay closer attention to the general development of his speech, attention, memory, physical development?

Personally, only one thing comes to my mind - now, unfortunately, all this is not fashionable... It sounds much more pleasant: “My Petenka already speaks English at the age of 4!” Or: “I’ve been teaching English to Anechka since she was two years old!”

Parents are just stroking their egos. Perhaps they themselves were deprived of the opportunity to learn languages ​​in childhood, or they think that early learning languages ​​guarantees better fluency, who knows.

But think about it: are you doing your child a disservice?

Discussion

We live in Germany, our daughter was born here, we speak Russian at home, in kindergarten, of course, everyone speaks German, my daughter is now 2 years old, she understands everything in both languages, she speaks a mix of something in German and something in Russian. Our grandmother tells us all the time that the child somehow speaks very little (no long sentences), I explain this precisely because the child has Duolingo. Let's see what happens next, there are plans to send children to kindergarten from the age of 4 to study English, in this kindergarten we were advised that English would be taught only once a week and in a playful way, and there are also many children in the kindergarten for whom English is a third language . I also know about the wonderful mobile application Lexilize Flashcards, but this is for older children and schoolchildren, you can directly enter your words there, which the child goes through in class and teach them with games. I myself am learning German using this application, maybe someone is looking for something similar.

English is of course a priority. But it’s easier to superimpose other foreign languages ​​onto German, as the teacher explained to us. German was easy for us; we started studying it in 1st grade, when the child became interested in learning. Now he speaks it easily, sometimes even unconsciously starts speaking German, they are encouraged to do this in courses) We go to school all the time, even when we are sick we just study on Skype. We go to the school of foreign languages ​​Yazykoved-I.

I sent my daughter at the age of 4 here to the British kindergarten ILA Aspec. I liked the program that is taught to the children. Plus good learning conditions, food, a rich program in the summer, because... children can be sent to summer camp. Our truth will go to the camp only in a year, they recruit there from the age of 5. We decided that we would send him to a complex located on the border with Germany. And the child will visit, as it were, not in Russia, new impressions

We decided that the child would study English from the age of three, but we were very careful in choosing courses. We chose courses where the child would be comfortable and interested, and we found them. The child is immersed in an English-speaking atmosphere, and learning takes place in the form of play. The classes are not large, so learning is easy and relaxed.

Training should begin during pregnancy - this has been proven in a number of countries. In Russia, teaching methods from pregnancy and birth, as well as up to the age of 5-6 years, are implemented in the child’s WORLD system, abbreviated from: “Methods Intellectual Development child."
Outdated, traditional teaching methods are not suitable... The author of the article belongs to their number and you cannot believe a single word of the article: this throws parents back centuries into the past. Children from mobile families, regardless of material wealth, almost always, if their parents do not limit them in communicating with foreign-language peers, for example, easily master several languages ​​without any recourse to traditional teachers and speech therapists.
The standard in the Tyulenev system is as follows:
- 3 years: five foreign languages;
- 5 years: ten foreign languages;
- 10 years - up to 20 languages.
Training is carried out within the framework of the so-called “Journalist” program at home or in other conditions, simultaneously with mastering all the languages ​​studied:
- geography,
- stories,
- culture, etc.
with cultural studies
See, for example, in GOOGLe: "Integrated programs of the MIR-1 system", etc.
It seems to me that such articles, anti-specialists in early development, should not be placed in the Early Development Conference - there are, it seems, or were - about ten years ago - more truthful articles. :)

My daughter started learning English at the age of 4. I was not satisfied! Throwing money down the drain!

There are classes from 3 years old. I speak English myself, so from the first year I began to introduce my baby to new words.

It is best to start learning foreign languages ​​at the age of 5-6 years. when the child has already mastered his native language well and there is no confusion in his head.
Please do not confuse bilingual families, where from birth the baby speaks two languages. Completely different laws apply there.

If possible, as early as possible, but not in the sense of teaching, but in the sense of immersion in the environment, from the age of 3 the child traveled abroad with us, heard English, then we sent her to an English-language camp at the age of 9, and 12 I just started studying with a repeater for years, I don’t know whether it’s correct or not, but now at the age of 15 my daughter has an intermediate

It’s strange, but the author did not say the most important thing about teaching a child a second language. One even gets the feeling that the author herself, although she teaches languages, does not really speak any other language other than Russian, and therefore does not know that most important thing.

The fact is that language differs from language primarily not in the set of words, but in the structure of sentences and, in general, the whole manner of thinking. This is even more important if the languages ​​belong to different language groups, such as Russian and English. And if a parent trying to teach his child English does not himself know this other way of constructing his thoughts, then the child will not learn either, that is, he will receive a completely distorted idea of ​​English and will then speak broken English all his life, even when he grows up.
But if the parent speaks a foreign language normally, constructs phrases in compliance with all tense forms (not at all the same as in Russian), correctly places verbs and verb prefixes (also not at all like in Russian), correctly uses articles (which are not present at all in Russian). Russian) - well, then the child is very lucky, because from childhood he will learn several ways of thinking, several logics at once. And in this case, nothing bad that the author scares will happen to the child - bilingual children do not confuse or mix phonemes of different languages ​​in their speech at all, the author of the article is simply making up horror stories. That is, a child can, of course, say “en apple” instead of “apple,” but many adults also say “content” instead of “content” or “OK” instead of “yes, good.”

However, learning two different ways of thinking at once can really be a painful process for a child. By the way, here too the author was slightly mistaken when she said that language acquisition is easy for children abroad. For example, my family and I moved to Germany when my son was 2 years old and he had just started speaking Russian. That is, until he was two years old, he absorbed the logic and rhythm of the Russian language, and by two years he finally began to express himself. And when in Germany we sent him to kindergarten, and he suddenly heard a completely new speech, which was spoken by everyone around him (except us, the parents) - and the boy fell completely silent. He was silent for two years. We were even scared as to whether he actually spoke to us. But at the age of 4, he spoke in long, complete sentences, easily and without hesitation - exclusively in German. We, parents, addressed him only in Russian (well, you can’t speak to a child in broken German sentences, stumbling over every word), and he answered us only in local. And he categorically refused to speak Russian, because the Russian language in its structure is not as logical as German.
That was the story.
But to say that this withdrawal was harmful to the child - no, it would probably not be true. It was a difficult process, yes, but not harmful at all.

Your child has started learning English - at school, with a tutor, in courses. You feel that he needs to help, but you don’t know how - you yourself have never learned English. It's time to start doing this together! We will tell you how to effectively learn words, where you can listen to English speech and what books to read.

Parents often come to me with a question: how to help their child learn English? This is especially troubling for parents who have not studied the language themselves.

So, the first rule is to stop being afraid of an unfamiliar language, since this fear is passed on to children. Rule two is to believe in yourself and turn even short joint lessons into an exciting game. The main thing is that classes bring pleasure. I am sure that any parent, even those who do not speak a foreign language, can help their child master the language by devoting no more than half an hour on a weekday and about an hour on a weekend.

Let's look at the block-by-block language teaching scheme that is used in preparation for international exams in English, as well as in preparation for the Unified State Exam. Knowledge in the exams is tested in 4 skills: speaking, listening (listening), reading and writing.

Ability to speak English

I believe that the most important thing in the ability to speak is vocabulary. Even without knowing grammatical rules, but having large stock words, you can convey your thought to your interlocutor. Therefore, first of all you need learn words. To study words, I recommend making special cards. The list of words can be taken from school textbook or, for example, on the Cambridge University Examination Council website, in the section corresponding to the current level. The very first level, for which children 8-11 years old can already take the exam, is called Young Learner Starters.

If you don’t have a lot of time, you can make cards by writing a word in Russian on one side and in English on the other. But if you set aside at least an hour a week and approach the issue creatively, you can turn the process of making cards into an element of learning and into an interesting activity. How to do it?

For each word from the list, together with the student, find a picture on the Internet. Then you print it out finished sheet, and while you are cutting it into cards, ask the child to back side write for each picture English word. While you are preparing this manual together, he is already remembering a large number of words

It is better to carry out such preparation on one of the weekends. For a week you will need 20-30 words, that is, making cards will take no more than an hour. You will need to practice them 2-3 times a week.

There are several things to consider when learning words with flashcards. Firstly, there is no need to “cram” words. You lay out the cards with pictures (or Russian text) facing up. If the student remembers the word and names it correctly, you turn the card over with the English text facing up. If he doesn’t name it, then turn it over too, but put it in another pile. Then you do the same in the other direction (translating from English into Russian) until all the words in both directions are pronounced correctly.

The next time you study words (after a few days), you add 10 more cards to the old cards, thereby repeating previously learned words and mastering new ones. Gradually, well-learned words can be put aside and returned to them after 2-3 months.

Another option - make lotto. Create several game fields with pictures (say, 8 pictures per field) and cards with words in English. Two people can play this lotto. Thus, in one game you can learn up to 16 words.

If you do not know English and are not sure that the child pronounces the words correctly, then at the time of checking, you can sit down at the computer, open an online translator and listen to how the desired word sounds.

If you teach 2 times a week, 10 words, then in a month you can master 80-100 words. Of course, these words will not immediately enter the active vocabulary, but the required minimum - 350-400 words - is quite achievable. Namely, this is the number of words required for the basic vocabulary necessary for everyday communication. (For your information, it is believed that on average native speakers use from 3 to 5 thousand words.)

This exercise will require no more than 20 minutes a day(checked in an online translator - up to 30 minutes).

Letter in English

Once a week I recommend carrying out vocabulary dictation according to the words that you have learned. If you are not sure of your pronunciation, you can dictate a word in Russian and ask your child to write it in English, and then repeat the written words and check the pronunciation with a computer translator. You can also diversify the activities: invite your child to dictate words to you.

This usually takes no more than 10 minutes (20 minutes with verification).

Listening comprehension of English

To learn to perceive English speech, you need to listen to it. On the Internet you can find a huge number of cartoons in English. It's better to start with simple English songs (nursery rhymes songs) - for example, "Old Macdonald had a farm", "Mary had a little lamb", " London bridge is falling down”, etc. You can find the lyrics of songs through a search engine, and then, while watching stories with these songs on Youtube, invite your child to sing along with the characters, while holding the lyrics in front of him.

At the very beginning of learning, it is better to master one verse at a time. Then gradually remove the text and ask the child to repeat without a piece of paper. If you don’t succeed right away, you can also find so-called ABC songs on Youtube. In these stories, the child sees and hears how individual words are pronounced and gets used to English speech. And besides, this will prepare him for reading, as it will allow him to remember what the letters are called and what sounds they convey.

This activity can be taken 2 times a week for 30 minutes.

Reading in English

Unfortunately, many modern children have problems reading not only in English, but also in Russian. First of all, the content of the book should be interesting to the child.

This should be adapted literature. Bookstores now sell a huge number of children's books in English for different levels of proficiency. For beginners learning a language, this is the Easystarts level. If the child has already mastered the initial stage, you can move on to books at the Beginner level. Usually at the end of the books there are tables showing the degree of complexity of the texts.

One of the ways that children enjoy is reading and role-playing the story. You can even buy a collection of simple plays. For those parents who do not speak English, you can suggest the following: let the child help translate the parental role, so that the parent can then play it.

This can be done at a minimum 45 minutes once a week.

In this way, the daily learning process will turn into an exciting and useful time spent together. The English language will cease to be something unfamiliar and incomprehensible, but will become the language of games. In addition, parents who have never studied English before will also be able to master the initial level. It is only important that the classes be systematic.

Of course, learning English requires much more effort, but if you help your child overcome the initial stage and love English classes, this will be the key to successful learning in the future. So invent, invent and good luck to you.

Discussion

The title is "English with your child in 30 minutes a day." From the text “This exercise will take no more than 20 minutes a day” only for the first point. And there are four of them. Ha.
From the text “If you learn 10 words 2 times a week, then in a month you can master 80-100 words.” Are we talking about a child starting to learn English, or about an aspiring genius with a super memory? I have only two intelligent children with English lessons 4 hours a week at school and half an hour at home every day. They knew a hundred words by the end of second grade, i.e. in 20 months. I didn’t read further, I regretted my time.
