How to teach your child English at home. How to start learning English with children at home? Letter in English

26.11.2023

Who among us, parents, has not dreamed that our child would know English? And we are ready to make every effort so that he learns English. First we send him to kindergarten, where they teach him English, then we take him to a linguistic school, send him to private schools and hire tutors. But these actions do not always bring us the desired result. These actions do not guarantee that the child will enjoy learning English. It is necessary to understand that Learning English should start at home, not in the classroom. Only parents can instill a love for the English language. No teacher can interest a child in English as much as mom and dad. No one knows better than parents what can interest their child. Especially when it happens in the form of an exciting game.

Learning English should be a game you and your child play together. This communication between you should bring mutual pleasure. It happens that due to everyday worries, we do not have much time at our disposal to spend time with our child. However, nevertheless, we can give the child an amazing opportunity - to spend quality time and be together. I think this is quite feasible if desired. You will be able to take your mind off the kitchen, washing, and ironing for at least half an hour a week and spend this time with your baby. I assure you, your child will appreciate it. It's so fun to learn a language together! And never let TV take your place in your child's life.

When to start learning English?

Most moms and dads are concerned about the question: At what age can a child be taught English?. Many linguistic schools are starting to teach English from 3 years old. It is not recommended before this age, since the child must develop speech in his native language.

There are many ways you can help your child learn English.

The main thing is that you have a great desire to study together.

Introducing your child to another culture will be a great start to language learning. Tell your child that there are many countries on Earth where people speak different languages. You can do this in the form of a fairy tale or in the form of a game. For example: “A bunny came to visit us from England. He can only speak English.”

Or you can start playing the “mother-daughter” game, but this time the dolls will live in England and speak only English. Thanks to this game, your child can be introduced to the names of words such as:

Mother-mother,father,sister-sister,brother-brother,grandmother-grandmother,grandfather-grandfather,uncleaunt-aunt,cousin - cousin,niece-niece,nephew

A rhyming song will help you consolidate new words in your memory. Thefingerfamily(family of fingers)

Father finger, where are you?

Father finger, father finger, where are you?

Mommy finger, Mommy finger, where are you?
Here I am, here I am. How do you do?

Brother finger, Brother finger, where are you?
Here I am, here I am. How do you do?

Sister finger, Sister finger, where are you?
Here I am, here I am. How do you do?

Baby finger, Baby finger, where are you?
Here I am, here I am. How do you do?

Also, using the “mother-daughter” game, you can voice situations from family life (breakfast, lunch, evening tea, table setting, conversation at the table, help around the house and much more) about this in more detail in the next article.

So if you want to help your child learn English, try to fit the following 10 rules into your daily life. And I am sure you will soon see the desired result.

1) Do English part your daily life.

Sing, read and play with your child in English whenever you want. Don't limit yourself to time frames. Read a poem at the dinner table, sing a song in English in the bathroom, watch a cartoon in English together and read a bedtime story. Think of learning English as part of your game, not as a lesson. Singing songs, reading books and watching cartoons in English are the most exciting and important things you can do with your child while learning English. The more your baby hears English spoken, the easier it will be for him to learn English.

2) Watch cartoons and children's TV shows in English.

If a child watches the Disney TV channel, you can draw the child's attention to the fact that the main characters of the cartoon speak English. You can chat with your baby about what is happening on the screen, but try to do it in English. And it doesn’t matter that you yourself don’t know many words in English. We all learned at school the names of animals and action verbs, such as: run, jump, fly, can, smile, cry.

3) Read a fairy tale in English in the evening.

Most parents read a bedtime story to their children. Why not read a fairy tale in English or look through a children's dictionary with colorful illustrations?

4) Inspire your child

Show interest in learning English with your child. Provide support, inspiration and motivation.
This is the most important point. When you show interest in your child's English learning, you are showing interest in your child. The child needs your approval, support and encouragement. Your reaction to his achievements in the language is very important to him. If you want your child to learn English, you need to teach him to feel proud of his achievements. Encourage him by telling him that you are proud of him. Ask about how the lessons went (if the child is learning the language in a children's studio).

To create a communicative environment during play, keep your baby highly active.

5) Don’t criticize every child’s mistake, focus better on his achievements.

This is one of the most common mistakes parents make. Very often I hear parents criticizing their children who are really trying to speak English. DO NOT discourage your child. learn English. Mistakes must be corrected in such a way as not to offend the child. After all, he transfers the assessment of his actions to the assessment of himself as an individual. Your fixation on mistakes can discourage any interest in learning English. First of all, you evaluate the child’s successes, not his shortcomings. Try to keep him feeling successful. Even the smallest victory should be noticed and appreciated. After all, interest in learning a language is lost when the feeling of success disappears.

Motivation plays a key role in learning a foreign language. Make it interesting and exciting for your child to learn English.

6) Keep your child interested in English

The best thing you can do to help your child learn English is to make the process fun. Your child should be sure that learning English is a fun and exciting game with mom. Reinforce your interest in English with various games. Find and learn several English games such as: alphabet games, lotto games, finger games. They will be ideal for beginners learning the language. For a child, learning a language is not a problem. The most important thing is to interest him. Activities in which he draws, sings, talks and moves a lot can interest a child.

7) In learning a language, it is important not to “pressure”* for your child*

If for some reason your child has no desire to learn a language, then do not insist. Try postponing your activity for a certain time. If your child feels pressure from you when learning a language, this will only have a negative effect.

8) Talk to your baby in English.

If your English is good, then try to talk to your baby in English more often. Even short phrases: “ I love you”, or commands “ come here” (come here) or “ sit down“(sit down),” give me" (give me) " find” (find) is a great start. Now your child perceives all information visually and auditorily, therefore, the more often he hears words and expressions already familiar to him, the faster he will remember their pronunciation. Don't forget that children love to imitate; so spend some time with your baby and practice saying the words you want him to remember. Your baby may not always pronounce words correctly, but over time you will get better.

And one more tip: it’s better to translate the meanings of words to kids using pictures.

At three years old, a child has the ability to listen, which he gradually loses with age. The more a child hears English spoken, the easier it is for him to remember it. Once he gets used to listening to English spoken at school, it will be easier for him to understand and follow instructions during an English lesson.

9) Children get bored easily

If you see that the child has lost interest in the task, do not insist on continuing. It’s better to take a break and then return to the previous task, provided that the child wants to do it. Make your lessons bright and varied.

10) Make your English classes regular

The most important rule in learning English is that playing English should be done regularly. Otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain.

Many parents have found their own successful way to teach their children English. They chose a specific time to play English with the baby. For example, every Wednesday you can talk to your child in English, watch cartoons, whatever you want, the main thing is that it is all in English. And it doesn’t matter whether you choose a specific time to play English or do it when you have a free minute. The main thing is that it happens regularly.

And remember: under no circumstances should a child be forced to study in English; first he just has to hear it and watch it, like a fun game in which he wants to participate with his mother.

Psychologists have proven that learning foreign languages is much easier for children than for adults. Some experts believe that the most successful age is from 4 to 8 years old, others are sure that from 1.5 to 7. Be that as it may, many parents think about how to teach their child English - one of the most common languages in the world.

The choice of teaching methods depends on the age of your child, on whether you (or someone in your family) knows enough English to speak it, and on how much time and effort you are willing to spend on classes.

What to choose: classes at home or in a group?

Many teachers agree that communicating in English is the ideal way to teach a child the language. For example, my mother constantly speaks English at home, and my father speaks Russian. The only condition is that until the child is four years old, do not change roles, otherwise you will confuse him. This is truly one of the most effective ways, if you do not speak English enough to be able to talk to your child at least about everyday topics - take English courses. The effort spent will pay off handsomely. As a result, a bilingual child will grow up who will be equally fluent in both languages, will be able to communicate in either language and easily switch between them.

If no one at home speaks the language, then you can hire a nanny or tutor who will communicate with the child exclusively in English. If we are talking about a child over four years old, then it is better to find a tutor who has lived for some time in an English-speaking country.

You can also prepare small activities yourself and conduct them regularly for your child. This method has a drawback: your son or daughter perceives you as a parent, a family member, and may simply refuse to study. Coping with this obstacle can be difficult; you need to prepare for lessons very carefully, find or invent games that will delight the child and will not get boring for a long time. Forcing a child will not work, and if it does, you may discourage any desire to study.

The third option is to take your child to a group. The effectiveness of this method depends almost entirely on the teacher. Moreover, it does not matter whether he graduated from a pedagogical university. His knowledge of English may be limited to the “children's program” - the main thing is that he loves children and knows how to interest them.

Whatever option you choose to educate your child (except for creating a language environment), classes should not last more than three hours a week.

Principles of teaching a child English

There are three principles that will help you achieve good results when learning English with your child:

1. Consistency.

Do not rush to teach your child the intricacies of grammar and spelling if you have even the slightest doubt that he is ready for this. If you do not use any tutorials and create the program yourself, you should pay special attention to presenting the material sequentially. Although practice shows that it is still better to use good textbooks, a plan drawn up by a professional philologist will be more effective.

2. Naturalness.

Many parents are sure that there is no need to start classes with a child under five years old, they should wait until he goes to school, otherwise these lessons “take away the child’s childhood.” In fact, if classes are organized correctly, they will proceed naturally - and the child will not feel any learning pressure.

3. Persistence.

Perhaps not everything will go as smoothly as you would like. If your child doesn’t like a certain technique, put off the lessons for a while, and then try to interest him in the language in a different way.

Teaching methods for children

When choosing a method of learning English, pay attention to what age it is intended for.

1. Game technique Both children and teachers like it, it is interesting and effective. The idea is simple: the teacher conducts games during which children improve their language skills.

Advantages of the technique: it is adaptable for any age (from one year), with its help you can develop both oral speech and knowledge of grammar, spelling, etc.

2. Zaitsev's technique Suitable for children from three years old. Recently it was adapted for learning English - you can now see English letters on the famous Zaitsev cubes.

3. Methodology Glen Doman designed for babies: they are designed for the child’s visual memory, so that pictures and words written on them will be remembered and will simplify learning to read and write in the future. These cards can be made yourself: Glen Doman gave clear recommendations in his books. The cards can be used not only with infants, but also with children up to middle school age.

4. Project methodology Suitable for children aged 4-5 years. The teacher chooses a topic and devotes a series of lessons to it. He offers different types of activities, with the help of which the children learn something interesting about the topic of the project, and gives tasks for independent work (or with parents, depending on age). For the final lesson, children bring creative, large-scale works for their age on a given topic.

5. Mixed methodology- in it you, at your own discretion, combine other methods, play games with your child, learn songs, develop projects, etc. The main advantage of the technique is diversity. It will be easier for you to interest your baby; he will never know in advance what you will do today.

When should you start teaching your child a language?

If you decide to take your child’s education seriously and have agreed with your other half to speak two languages at home (or hire a nanny for this), you can start today. There are no age restrictions.

Have you decided to take your child to a group or study at home? Start no earlier than 4-5 years. By the time classes begin, the child should have developed a linguistic picture of his native language, he should have a sufficient vocabulary. If you start explaining to a child that “house” means “house”, and he does not know what “house” is, the effectiveness of the lesson will be zero.

Good luck to you and your children!

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, which is used in preparation for international English language exams, 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 mastering grammatical rules, but having a large vocabulary, you can convey your thoughts 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 a school textbook or, for example, on the website of the Cambridge University Examination Council, 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 out the finished sheet, and while you are cutting it into cards, ask the child to write an English word on the back of each picture. While you are preparing this manual together, he is already memorizing 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 conducting a vocabulary dictation using the words 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 the songs through a search engine, and then , while watching stories with these songs on Youtube, invite the child to sing along with the characters, while holding the lyrics of the song 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.

So, if you are reading this page, it means that you are serious about learning English with your child, and you have made absolutely the right choice! And now I will explain why. First, young children, unlike adults, have a unique ability to imitate the pronunciation of words and sounds that are new to them. Children learn quite easily through play activities; you have played with your child for two to three weeks. interactive games, and one fine day, instead of the usual: “Good morning, mom,” he will babble to you: “Good morning, mother!”. You may also need to review some of the basics of the English language, since children learn the language better through communication and joint games with adults. And the materials posted on the site will help you and your child overcome the language barrier in an entertaining and fun way, because this is Entertaining English!

And before I tell you where to start learning English, let's figure it out: what age is most favorable for learning English with a child?. This question is most often asked by parents interested in a bright future for their child. Given the individual abilities and stage of development of each child, it is quite difficult to give a specific answer to this question. But most experts agree that English classes using this method can be taught to children aged 3 to 10 years. Until the age of 3, it is pointless, and after 10, this technique will not give a positive result, since the child’s brain has a specialized ability for a foreign language, which significantly decreases with age. The brain's speech mechanisms become less flexible and can no longer adapt to new conditions so easily. English is best learned at the age of 5 - 7 years, when the child has already mastered the system of his native language quite well. It is at this age that children assimilate the proposed language material without difficulty. It is at this age that the child can already be told about American holidays , this will help him better understand the culture, traditions and customs of the English-speaking population.

Well, now let's return to the topic of our conversation and figure it out, where to start learning English with your child. There is no need to force your child to cram the English alphabet and memorize English words. In order to motivate a child to expand his vocabulary, it is necessary to awaken his interest in the English language by learning with him simple poems, in which among familiar words and phrases there will be one or two words in English. For better perception, you can use toys and various objects so that the child has a more accurate idea of what is being said. Over time, using the same principle, you can begin to learn with your child counting rhymes, tongue twisters, songs And fairy tales. English is best learned through interactive games; for these purposes, you can arrange a puppet theater or finger games for your child. It is important that all English classes are fun and interesting, this facilitates understanding and increases the child’s interest in the language.

But don’t expect your child to immediately begin repeating the English phrases and words you speak. Even in the process of children learning their native language, there is a “period of silence”, this is when the child watches and listens before he begins to speak. A similar period may exist in the study of the English language; children are already beginning to understand the meaning of what was said, but do not speak English. During this period, you should not force your child to repeat the English phrases and words you speak. Be patient, let your communication be one-sided during this period, and after a while, depending on the regularity of classes, each child begins to pronounce individual words or individual phrases heard earlier. Of course, the first English words will not be pronounced perfectly, but there is no need to focus the child’s attention on the mistakes made, just repeat the correct version of what he said. And remember that a child needs constant support and praise to effectively learn English. By conducting classes with children, parents establish a family tradition of communicating with children in English, even if they have only an initial level of language proficiency.

Now you know what exactly you need to pay special attention to when teaching your child English, and you can safely start learning, but do not forget that learning should take place in a fun and comic form, because that’s why he Entertaining English!

And the first step to achieving this goal will be

Today I want to talk about how to teach a child English without causing resistance on his part. How to teach a child so that he himself asks you to conduct a lesson with him.

In order for a child to start speaking English, he must first have a desire to learn the language. It is obvious.

Therefore, how to conduct classes in such a way as to stimulate the child’s aspirations and create ideal conditions for comfortable language learning is a pressing question for many parents.

The quick answer is school, extra classes in clubs or with a tutor. But every teacher understands that 1.5-2 hours a week is clearly not enough for a child to speak the language.

Look at the iceberg. Its top is school activities! And under the water there is a huge layer hidden - these are home activities with the child.

All teachers know about this and therefore assign homework that the child must complete independently. But for the most part, these are constantly boring grammar exercises that are not interesting for children and do not motivate them in any way.

Or learning the material by heart, but without understanding why it is necessary. This is learning a language for the sake of the language or for the sake of a good grade. Nobody even remembers comfortable conditions.

Many people have heard that to successfully learn English, you need to immerse yourself in the language environment. But it seems that there is simply not enough time to learn a language 24 hours a day.

In fact, everything is much easier. There is such a thing as language environment at home. This does not mean that you should devote all your time to teaching your child. The main thing is to correctly create and organize the process itself!

With a reasonable approach, it is possible to create an environment for your baby that will work for him without you. For example, if you are at home and while your child is playing freely, turn on the songs he has learned, he will begin to hum them quietly under his breath. You go about your business, and the child practices speaking and pronunciation.

But to create a truly working language environment at home. Here we need to take into account three important components - the teacher, parents and child. Trinity. Full interaction on three sides must be the magic formula of the English language.

If you are a parent, you should always ask the teacher what books are best for you to read, or what films and cartoons to watch, so that this fits into the main lessons. Find out what activities will help motivate your child.

If you are a teacher, then it is important for you to fully work with parents. My experience shows that this principle allows you to achieve greater results. Vivid examples are my students - very quickly they reach a completely different level of language proficiency.

The principle of individual work with parents and the creation language environment at home for each student is the main element of my work. We discuss in detail and draw up a plan based on the individual characteristics of the child. We analyze in detail which songs are better to listen to, which films will be more interesting, which games to play with it and much more.

In such cooperation it is very important that everyone takes their place. The teacher is required to develop a lesson plan and create a program according to which you will study with your child. This is his direct responsibility, and not the concern of his parents.

The teacher must monitor the learning process and adapt the plan as necessary. Present and submit material, as well as monitor the completion of assignments.

Parents are required to inspire their child, to create a comfortable language environment for him at home, using the means that the teacher offers you. Apply all his instructions and provide support.

As can be seen from my practice, if you, as a parent, begin to take on the role of a teacher, try to make a plan, develop a program, then this is the surest way to ruin all learning. This does not work!

Parents then do not have enough time, because they have taken on so much. And they quit, as a result of which both they and the children are nervous and nothing good comes of it. Often children refuse to study due to discomfort.

Teaching a child English with one command is easier and more comfortable for him. Children always learn best what interests them and is curious. Together, we can organize the ideal learning process for a child, so that it is both educational and useful.

Good luck in your studies!
