Xinhua news agency, hu ho, zheng tianhong
The introduction of the chinese english level scale has raised renewed interest in english language learning. The experts made recommendations for areas of common error in english language learning。
The sooner you learn english, the better
In recent years, the age threshold for admission to the various english language training institutions has become lower, with the introduction of courses for two-year-olds, even in some maternity centres. In their advertising, there is nothing more attractive than a mother-to-mother: “language learning exists at a sensitive time: the sooner learning begins, the more effectively the brain can master the language.”
The sooner you learn english, the better
In this regard, experts noted that the informality of teaching staff in some early educational institutions, the poor quality of teaching materials and curricula, and the lack of knowledge of the regularity of education in foreign languages can affect children's interest and habits in english。
“when to start learning a foreign language may never be conclusive, because such experiments cannot be carried out.” the director of the international school of education of the beijing foreign language university, who has been studying english for many years, tsao suggested that parents should not reward the learning of english from the age of many years, and that they should not ignore the interest of their children in learning in the pursuit of learning much faster. English is taught at different age groups. For example, children starting english only at the lower secondary level may be better able to learn new knowledge and skills than they are at the lower secondary level, even though they are already at a disadvantage in the chinese mindset. It is therefore possible to learn different content, depending on age characteristics, using different methods。
Only foreigners can teach english
Underline english language training, as well as online english tutoring, study tours and external education have become a source of “methodology” in many training institutions。
In order to enable the child to learn a pure american pronunciation from an early age, ms. Chen, who worked in a financial institution in beijing, reported to her 3-year-old daughter a purely foreign english-language course at a one-year tuition fee of 30,000. However, in the first half of the year of study, several foreign teachers had changed and each teacher had to adapt to the new way of teaching, which caused ms. Chen a great headache。
The experts noted that the multiplicity of fish dragons and the difficulty of quality is a common problem at present, such as study tours and external education. Qualified external teachers should have foreign teachers ' qualifications。
“teaching outside is only a formality.” according to cao, these factors do not determine whether the child's english language is good and, more importantly, what to learn, how to learn and the quality of the teacher。
Why do you study english
At the end of the 5th grade of primary school, cambridge 5th grade and 7th year of age are taking the escalation test. In order to achieve high scores, the children were given a large number of brushes and raids。
“students in english are applied in practice, not in examinations.” the deputy director of the examination centre of the ministry of education believes that the introduction of the chinese english proficiency scale has helped to reverse the utilitarian trend of english learning and to enable learners to better target their english proficiency。
Wang jin-in, professor at nanjing university and director of the steering committee for the teaching of foreign languages at the university of higher education of the ministry of education, stated that english language learning should be practical in its use and that it was possible to diagnose learning through examinations and evaluations, adjust learning objectives and methods to achieve the goal of education promotion, but the examination was by no means an end in english。
