If you want your child to start naturally speaking and understanding English, it’s vital you let them interact with a native English teacher/speaker.
From Kindergarten To 1st & 2nd Grades
In my 1st year teaching kindergarten full-time each of the 3 classes had a native English teacher from a different country:
Australia — United States — Ireland
By the end of the 12 months, students from each class were all clearly speaking with the accent of their homeroom English teacher!
I learned 2 things from this which were confirmed in the following years as I continued teaching in kindergarten and 1st & 2nd grades…
1. Young Kids Are Like Sponges
They absorb everything around them, language, behavior, everything… including English.
They first need to like and feel comfortable around their teacher. Then speaking and understanding is inevitable.
The rate of development is different for each kid. But if they are given time & space, then when they are ready, confident speaking is like a dam breaking.
2. Young Kids Learn Best Via Play
Young kids learn best when they don’t think they are being “taught” or in a “lesson”.
In school, play-time, meal times and open learning classes are often the most productive for English. Kids have more freedom to choose to speak as they’d like.
They are naturally interacting with the particular activity of the moment, as well as with friends and/or the teacher.
How Your Child Can Love English
In private face-to-face lessons, it’s easy & valuable to let the child steer the session, somewhat.
Your child might prefer to play with lego, draw a picture, read a book, write a story or comic, sing a song, throw or kick a ball, jump & move around, whatever.
By spending unpressured time together doing something they enjoy, kids remain receptive as they listen to, and repeat, phrases in English.
Eventually, they can then start to form sentences by themselves. But it’s important to give them time and space to do this when they are ready.
So, the way to make sure your child loves English is to let them spend time with a native English teacher who engages them in fun activities they already love.
