Teaching English To Kindergarten

Thu, 28 May 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Advantages of Teaching English to Kindergarten Level Students The most challenging activity for adults and the enjoyable learning of children is language learning. This ability of children to learn a new language has been confirmed by various studies. At the same time, in early language education, children have a much better pronunciation ability than adults. The reason behind all this closeness is that the children's brains are much more flexible and adapt to a new language more easily.

Another reason is perhaps the most effective....  [Read more]

It is entirely the opposite, it is a tiring job, but the tire here is more related to one's psychology and inner side. However, it is relative for teachers depending on many standards like the age of the students, culture, or nationality. Table of Contents Children's abilities...  [Read more]

Wed, 01 Apr 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas How to Teach English as a Foreign Language in Kindergarten? Children learn fast, that is a fact. Learning a language is their natural skill, which they are born with. We all have gone through that process. There is no teacher needed to teach a kid how to speak, there is no teacher needed to teach a kid how to pronounce e.t.c. Mothers and fathers are not teachers, but they teach their kids how to speak, or maybe kids learn by themselves? In my opinion, communication is one of the very basic needs, which comes naturally. Children need to talk to their mothers, fathers and other people who are around them. Speaking is a result of listening and observing – in this case, family members. Kids learn from people in their environment,...  [Read more]
