4岁~6岁:听/看英文动画+阅读英文童书。在培养学习兴趣和习惯的前提下,培养学习能力,从learn to read到read to learn,时间可以延长到1小时。视听方面,注意观察孩子的兴趣到底是真正对内容感兴趣,还是对动画感兴趣。
小学以后:阅读英文原版书+听/看英文动画。时间仍然是40分钟~1小时,读放在首要位置,视听次之。如果孩子还不会拼读英文单词,那么phonics的学习要放在首要地位,因为,孩子对语言的理解力很强,中文都能听懂《三国演义》,英文却只会读This is a dog这样简单的句型,这样孩子会觉得英文不是太简单就是太难。
再举个例子,孩子们围坐在老师身边,观看老师表演。老师演示各种动作,如起立(stand up)、坐下(sit down)、蹲下(squat down)、伸舌头(stick out your tongue)、拍拍手(clap your hands)、皱眉眨眼(frown and wink)等等,老师一边表演,一边教孩子对应的英语表达。

儿子和他姐姐玩了一上午,他们俩假装开快餐店,一应小吃皆是水彩笔画出来的,还有几分神似,尤其是冒着热气的汉堡包。价目表中英文相杂,那个价格简直是想把家败光啊,超低!一元钱享受一条龙的全套服务,国际链这么物美价廉,我们作为友情客串的顾客,也要配合假吃真赞才行。作者: qingwei1977126 时间: 2012-12-31 14:56 Look at the three gifts. If you use paper to pack them,which one needs the least paper?

20:30-21:00继续看碟子,儿子换了张碟子,边看边吃巧克力。作者: qingwei1977126 时间: 2013-1-1 11:10 儿子吃着星球杯,一不小心,掉出个豆豆,他舍不得扔,连忙“夫夫!”吹了两下,直接进嘴了,还是那么没干没净的,马上八岁的人了。
儿子从早上起来,就琢磨着看点什么,选来选去,还是老一套,《far away places》。作者: qingwei1977126 时间: 2013-1-1 11:21 说起来是放假了,可是学校布置的那摊任务,几乎要覆盖整个假期了,儿子还不急不慌呢!我虽说,内心里也希望儿子自在些,但是,他一天没有写完课内作业,我就一天觉得不踏实。又不好老催他,看他这方看罢英文碟子,那方又摆起了评书阵,根本不拿学校的作业当回事。作者: qingwei1977126 时间: 2013-1-1 13:38 犰狳 [qiú yú]英文: armadillo
