We explain what are the best techniques to teach English to babiesfrom 0 to 3 years old. How to teach English to babies from 0 to 3 years old
During the first three years of age,
the neurological development of our babies is of the utmost importance . Neurological development occurs through the senses, so by touch, sight, taste, smell and hearing our babies will acquire knowledge and will develop properly. Durante 1. During the first year:The type of games that the youngest (in the first year of life) need
to acquire the English language are: - Through rattles, large-medium objects with striking colors for the location of sounds. They can be used to accompany songs in English. - Visual tracking, exploration of objects, while we explain what those objects are called in English.
- Search for a fallen object, pull a rope to get a toy ...
But there is also a set of indispensable requirements: we must always create a favorable and welcoming environment in the child's environment, establishing pleasant routines in English classes and, of course, always speaking and singing in English.
It is important to know that each baby needs to feel comfortable, safe and full of affection for the adult who performs this task. Therefore, it is essential that we use a close and affectionate language to achieve a good climate.
2.
From the year:As of the year approximately, in the English classes we will continue using different games to involve our children in the learning of this language. Among the games we recommend are:- Puppets, cards, cars, rings / rings, egg-shaped boxes, stories, cubes, songs ... - It is also convenient to use a mat, elongated and fluffy to get an adequate interaction between our kids to move freely during this type of games. El - The use of games such as blankets, sensory bottles, treasure basket, heuristic games and symbolic games (for the older ones) help us to open and deepen their learning.
- They will also be able to follow simple commands and begin to imitate our gestures, actions and sounds.
Therefore, from the year old, our babies will grow and stop being babies to become children, so they will begin to want to walk, climb, run and even jump. So your attention will increase and your games will be getting more complex. A 3. After two years:
Once our children have acquired more skill in oral language,
it is convenient to play role-plays, imitation, theater, see the cartoons in English
... .and So put into practice your newly acquired skills.
Ultimately, children need games to produce active and participatory learning. How much more relaxed and safe our children are, the more they will develop neurologically. We reiterate that it is very important to create asolid approach to this second language in the first years of life
of a child in order to maximize their willingness and ability to learn and introduce a quality exposure to this second language with consistency and good bases of linguistic immersion, which will serve us for the future.It's amazing how much they like to play and have fun with these objects!
