How to cultivate children's language ability in kindergartens 1 Stimulate children's interest in speaking.
The children in the small class are very young. Many children have just left the embrace of family life and entered a strange collective environment. They are in a familiar process with their teachers and peers. Many children are too timid to speak in front of strangers. In order to help these children adapt to all this as soon as possible, we encourage them to boldly introduce themselves to their peers in the form of games to stimulate their interest in speaking.
For example, in the social activity "myself", I first show the puppet doll and the phone, and introduce myself in the tone of "doll": "Hello, children! What is my name? I am 3 years old, and today is my birthday. I want to invite some new friends to my home. Would you like to come? If anyone wants to come, please call me and tell me, "What's your name and how old are you? ".Let the children who are willing to be guests call the doll and introduce their names, ages, etc. By calling dolls, let children quickly master the method of self-introduction, let the whole class quickly remember the names of each child in the class, achieve twice the result with half the effort, and stimulate children's interest in self-introduction. Help children learn to introduce their family members, addresses, parents' jobs, etc. through "My Family" activities. Use simple sentences and lay the foundation for children's active communication, thus stimulating children's willingness to learn and speak.
2. Create a good language learning environment for children.
Creating a good language environment is an important way for children to accumulate language and practice using it. Children's language is a process of continuous perception in the practice of children's environment, which needs long-term accumulation and cannot be achieved overnight. In order to let children master the parallelism sentence "and" skillfully.
Before class, I consciously arranged children's favorite toys in every corner of the activity. After the picture lesson "Little Elephant Going Home", I showed the children the furnishings in the classroom. When the children saw that the layout of the classroom had changed, they said that there were dolls, telephones, flowers and many toys in the classroom. Some children will also say that some fish are eating, some fish are drinking water and some fish are playing games. Children directly perceive the dynamics of things through the environment, so that their language can be cultivated in this colorful living environment.
For example, today, my birthday present to you is a box of colored brushes. Please make yourself at home, eat birthday cake and so on. You will instruct the troops to run, jump and lie down in words, and learn to express happy birthday to the children in words. Ask children to perform programs, etc. Let children have the opportunity to develop their talents in a pleasant atmosphere, that is, to cultivate their self-confidence and give play to their initiative. As a teacher, I actively encourage children to respect their children, make friends with them, talk enthusiastically with them and create a relaxed environment, so that children have more opportunities to express their thoughts and feelings in words.
3. Promote the development of children's language through game activities.
Froebel, a famous early childhood educator who is known as "the father of early childhood education", once said: "Play is the nature of children, and games are their happy companions." Children's language in the game is diverse, magical and full of fantasy, because the autonomy and creativity of the game itself greatly improve children's language. There was once a child in the class who was slightly autistic. He seldom spoke in his daily life and asked him nothing. However, it is very easy to communicate with him in the game. He will take the initiative to smile at me, even hug me, tell me what game he is playing or ask me what he doesn't understand. His communication with other children becomes very relaxed and happy during the game.
Kindergartens can set up garden-wide role games, such as supermarkets, hospitals, food streets and playgrounds. And large and small game activities between classes of different ages, such as fashion shows and story meetings. Each class has its own performance game activities in the activity room, such as small radio stations, news reports, performance tables and so on. Let children watch, listen and speak more in different types of games, and create a platform for children to communicate and express. For example, the big class game "Little Radio" started with the students on duty reporting the weather and the lunch menu. Several children were invited to host the program that day and said an interesting thing (what the children were going to say the night before). Because of the preparation in advance, most children can easily complete the task of the host, and the children gradually become interested in the story, scrambling to become announcers.
4. Guide children to listen, watch and speak more in daily life.
Only by letting children listen, watch and speak more can they get rich opportunities for vocabulary and language practice, thus developing their language ability. First of all, teachers use the versatility and frequent repetition of language in daily life to consolidate children's language foundation and deepen their understanding of language.
For example: (1) Get up and get dressed, and teach children to name different clothes and colors; (2) Teach children to master the names of washing utensils and washing actions when washing, and call out the names of fingers. (3) When eating, let the children name the tableware and package the names of the dishes; (4) When walking outdoors, let children freely exchange what they have seen and heard and enrich their vocabulary in time. In addition, teachers in each class can also organize 10 minutes of literary works appreciation or reading activities and 5 minutes of sentence-speaking competitions before meals and before leaving the park every day, and conduct regular language training every day. In language research, teachers should not only create a good language environment for children, but also pay attention to using the surrounding environment to make children speak freely.
5. Use literary works to improve children's language sensitivity
The sensitivity of language and literature includes three levels: sensitivity to the arrangement of words, sensitivity to the sound and rhythm of language, and sensitivity to different functions of language. Often we pay attention to the cultivation of the core operational ability at the first level, while ignoring the deep function of literary works-that is, helping children feel the artistic conception of the works and let them imagine, imitate and create with personal experience.
There is a poem "Sunbathing" whose theme is "Day and Night". Before studying, we made up many surprises for adults by observing our feelings: small flowers shook themselves to bask in the sun, grass was dug out to bask in the sun, big toys leaned their heads up to bask in the sun, and Aunt Mao basked in the quilt-we also tried to draw the sun and play games about the sun. In these activities, children learned many beautiful sentences, and more importantly, they began to like observation and expression.
In short, language activities in kindergartens have always been a topic of discussion. Children's language education develops in interpersonal communication with the surrounding environment, and early childhood is a very important and critical period for language development. Only when children really learn to speak and express their wishes in the right language can they communicate freely with others, and at the same time they can better accept the knowledge and experience taught by adults.
