This process is difficult for adults, let alone children. Even if you remember some grammatical structures, children can't apply them to practical communication well. Not only that, but also may make beginners lose confidence in learning.
On "Function-Concept" Method
Children will try to think when they hear a habitual expression.
1. Its series of pronunciations.
2. What does this mean?
3. how to use it?
After that, in order to strengthen understanding, children will imitate its pronunciation and repeat it until it can be expressed smoothly, thus successfully achieving the purpose of dialogue. In this process, language learning will become interesting and efficient, and children's proficiency in language can also be improved rapidly.
Children will be very excited when they express their ideas with newly learned words. They will constantly look for opportunities to try to use this new expression, so that they will naturally accumulate vocabulary and usage through constant practice. This is the core of the "function-concept" approach based on Grape Seed English.
After language learning has made progress, children continue to use the words and concepts they have learned before, and at the same time accumulate more commonly used words and usages. If children often use some new words after hearing them, they can use them flexibly in their own expressions. In other words, children learn to communicate fluently.
When children improve their language learning skills, they often seek more words to accurately express their thoughts and feelings. In view of children's enthusiasm and flexibility in language learning, Grape Seed English will teach new idioms in time to gradually improve children's communicative competence. Phonetic teaching method is a set of methods to determine the pronunciation of a word by looking at the combination of letters. Identifying a phoneme in the alphabet and pronouncing it accurately by phonetic notation is the fastest way to learn English reading and writing.
Grape seed English has further developed the teaching methods of phonetics and phonetics through a specific phonetic teaching system, and this course is based on the principle of "teaching all pronunciations of a letter at the same time". Once you learn this rule, you can accurately master the pronunciation of 90% words, and its accuracy is 60% higher than that of other phonetic methods.
In the phonetic teaching method of Grape Seed English, factors are taught according to the frequency of use, so when children encounter a new word, they can immediately identify its phonemes and know which sound to pronounce first. In this way, they can read a new word by putting phonemes together. This method links pronunciation, expression, reading and other writing links to the greatest extent.
We have designed this set of detailed pronunciation teaching methods in the course of 1, so that children can form the habit of accurate pronunciation at the beginning of learning. Grape seed English course adopts various teaching modes, such as songs, recitation, poems and stories. These teaching models follow the law of children's direct learning of vocabulary and diversity of language use when learning their mother tongue. By using all kinds of teaching materials, children will naturally learn how to use correct tenses, grammar and basic syntax.
In Grape Seed English, language function is more important than language structure, so children should first learn language usage and vocabulary by listening. At the beginning, we will spend some time teaching children the pronunciation of words until they can pronounce them accurately by themselves. Once children get used to listening, they will try to understand the usage of English words appearing in songs or poems, instead of translating them into their mother tongue first and then trying to express their thoughts and feelings themselves. In other words, they can think in English like bilinguals. Grape seed English course includes 40 levels. In order to ensure that children gradually improve their skills throughout the course, learning and practice at each level are separated, and schools can adjust their learning plans according to the environment and special needs.
However, due to the limited schedule of kindergartens and schools, it is often difficult to ensure continuous normal classes every semester. Continuous teaching is one of the most important factors for children to successfully master English skills. In order to achieve the goal of bilingualism, children should be guaranteed to learn a second language for two hours every day.
In order to achieve this goal, the "Extended English Environment" of Grape Seed English has specially designed CDs and DVDs to expand children's contact with English after class and ensure the continuity of children's learning. They not only repeat the content of the course itself, but each textbook has its specific teaching purpose. CD can improve children's listening, while DVD provides a variety of expressions.
The textbook "Expanding English Environment" has great flexibility in grape seed English. For example, if you can only attend two or three classes a week, the whole course can still go smoothly by changing the teaching plan of "expanding English environment" outside the classroom. Practice has proved that children who use the "extended English environment" learning materials every day can maximize their learning efficiency in the shortest time.
