"Learning English in an interesting way" By Mother Goose
“Let’s sing and dance” 我仍然記得和Sonia一起聽Mother Goose Rhymes,又唱又跳的快樂時光。 “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall” Sonia抱着玩偶 Mother Goose開心地唱着,雖然她未必全然明白歌詞內容,但她真實地在說着英語,而且感到十分有趣。Songs and rhymes 是幼兒學習英語的最好工具。或許大家忘記了Mother Goose Rhymes,但總會記得ABC,“Now I know my ABC, next time won’t you sing with me” 。
讓孩子代入圖書
幼兒期的小孩子活潑好動,要他們坐著安靜地看書和學生字,難如登天。然而,大部分小孩子都愛互動和群體生活,角色扮演令學習英語變成樂趣。我最喜歡和小孩子玩角色扮演。首先讓他們選一本喜歡的圖書,然後,給他們畫紙和顏色筆,讓他們畫出故事的角色。他們一邊畫,老師一邊指示:
First, draw a long yellow face with brown fur.
Second, draw two black eyes and a big black nose.
Then, draw a big mouth with whiskers and sharp teeth.
At last, cut the figure out and put it on your face as a mask.
當小孩子們把面具戴上,他們就興致勃勃地扮演小猪三兄弟和大豺狼, 同學們也興奮地讀故事旁白。“One day, a hungry wolf came to the village,” the whole class speaks out loud. John, the wolf says, “I am hungry. I want to eat all of you.” Ben, the eldest pig says, “My house is made of stones. You can’t eat me.”
令孩子享受學習
笑聲、互動和創意充滿整個課室。小孩子回家或許未能100%用英語交代故事,但他們會記得讀過的生字如 pink, brown, black, eyes, nose, pig and wolf,又或是sentences like “I am a big bad wolf. I want to eat you.” 角色扮演除了增強小孩子的自信心,最重要是他們十分享受學習英語的過程。
父母是孩子學習的關鍵
在小孩子的學習過程中,父母的陪伴是成功的關鍵。父母投入學習,小孩子才會投入。Start a conversation using puppets, sing a song while bathing or read a story book before going to bed. Learning English is easy and fun to both adults and kids.
“Mum, let’s read A Midsummer Night’s Dream ,” Sonia 興奮地說。她是英文話劇團團員,今年將演出莎士比亞的「仲夏夜之夢」。
