大家好,
今天的這篇文章會簡單的介紹「語感式的學習法」,並且告訴您如何利用我的「基礎英文課程」幫已經有不錯的語感的孩子學習文法。
會購買我們課程的學員有三種
1. 完全零基礎學員
2. 有一點點基礎,已接觸過英文
3. 語感好:也就聽的能力不錯,也敢說。但是想要徹底好好了解文法句型
這三種學員的學習速度會非常不一樣。完全零基礎學員會需要最多時間,相對的語感好的學員會需要最少時間。所以花時間來培養語感絕對會是值得的。事實上,在我的基礎課程中的所有句型的重複練習,還有自然發音外師念誦例句練習,都是初學者培養語感的好方式。等等,我也會分享其他適合孩子培養語感的方法。
我們的課程是以設計給零基礎的學員為主,所以在剛開始的課程中,會有許多非常基礎的單字。對於完全不懂英文的學員會有非常大的幫助,但是對於已經有語感跟單字量的孩子或學員來說太過簡單(只是單字而已)。許多孩子會因為課程單字太簡單而誤以為這整個課程非常簡單,其實並非如此。反而是,孩子因為已經懂了許多基礎單字,只需要把精力花在練習文法句型上面,這樣反而是個優點。然而,我們的練習句型的影片速度都比較慢,孩子可能會變得沒耐心,並且覺得這太簡單了。等等我會在最後分享要如何上課!
今天的會有這篇文章是因為有位家長問起,回答她的同時,也給有這個需求的家長看。
❇️教學經驗&語感式學習
首先,我就先來講我的教學經驗並且分享我如何帶孩子做語感式的學習。
我曾經帶過劍橋英檢班。來補習的孩子許多都是私立小學的學生。私立小學的孩子的英文聽力,口語還有閱讀能力通常都不錯,因為大部分的孩子從幼稚園開始就開始上全美語或是雙語幼稚園。大部分的孩子,在國小一二年級時,您就可以全英文的跟他們溝通。我全英文上課也完全會沒有問題。
在這邊,我就要先插播一下。大部分幼兒美語,兒童美語,還有國小美語的學習方式:都是語感式的學習。語感式的學習就是大量的沈浸在英文中學習。所以在學習時有大量的聽,還有閱讀。學習句型的最主要方式就是一個句型一個句型的學習,不解釋文法。藉由著句型重複的念跟讀來達到自然而然地會講英文。
在學句型的時候,通常會用一群的新單字,配上一個句型(有時候會替換主詞)。像是一次教上5個單字(pen/ruler/book/bag/phone),然後把單字套上一個句型做練習
I have a pen.
I have a ruler.
I have a book.
I have a bag.
I have a phone.
有時候會加上不同主詞的練習
She has a pen.
She has a ruler.
等等…
除了句型的學習之外,我們還會有下列這些方法的學習,都是非常適合在小朋友還小的時候建立好的英文語感的學習。下面的方法也是成人的初學者來培養語感喔!
✅自然發音:自然發音是建立孩子拼音跟認字的基礎,把自然發音學好也會建立孩子初期學習英文的自信。所以非常重要。一但孩子開始漸漸會認字,他們就可以開始做簡單的閱讀。閱讀也是培養語感非常好的方式。
✅閱讀:我們會找尋適合的讀本或繪本,初級讀本或繪本非為兩種類型
(1.) 重複句型的閱讀(初級):在這種繪本中的英文句子大多都是重複的句型。跟我剛剛提及多個單字配合一個句型的使用。只是它是用繪本的形式。現在的小朋友好幸福,許多著名的繪本都可以在YouTube上找到有人唸給你聽,還有許多會改成歌曲。我會在下方舉例
Walking through the jungle
在這個繪本中練習的句型是:(它的句型是一致的,只是替換不同的單字)
Ving. What do you see? I think I see a ____.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plvY0quSyJg
(2.) 故事性的閱讀:(初級)
在這樣的讀本或是繪本沒有重複的句型,它的故事性會比較強。孩子會比較有興趣,因為喜歡聽故事是人的本性。許多孩子是這樣的,一樣的故事可以一聽再聽再聽。所以當您講許多次給他聽之後他也會學習到裡面的字跟句型。
(3.) 有一定程度之後,就是閱讀文章(中級)。許多讀本都有分程度,小朋友就是從初級的讀本開始,一級一級的上上去。
⭐️3. 英文歌曲:
英文歌曲是培養語感非常好的方法之一。大人小孩皆如此,小孩可以從聽兒童歌謠開始。大人就找尋您喜歡聽的英文歌曲。以前我帶小朋友唱英文歌曲是一句歌詞,一個動作。所以一首歌就會有許多動作,好玩又容易記。語感比較好,已經學過自然發音的孩童,像是我帶了一年多的孩童,我會把歌詞寫在大字報上面,帶著他們念過一次。一次唸個幾句就好。可以增進閱讀能力
⭐️4. 生活中的口說:在現在許多兒童美語教學中,許多教學都是全美語教學,無論是中師教還是外師教。無論是學習語言快或慢的孩子,因為生活中常用,經過一段時間都可以把教室中常用的英文句型講得非常流暢。
➡️語感學習方式的優點:
1. 學習較有趣,對英文會比較有興趣(老師通常會把學習過程設計得很有趣)
2. 學生會比較敢講,聽力較好
學習效果就跟成人相反,許多成人到後來是腦中有英文知識,但卻不敢使用
孩子敢講英文先,不在意犯錯
3. 有不錯語感後再學文法會學得比較快
因為已經會使用,或是聽過這些句型。學習句子的規則就會變得簡單許多。
➡️語感式的學習缺點:
1. 所花學習時間比較長
這樣的學習孩子的英文能力是日積月累而來的。藉由每天一點點的學習,持續不斷來達成英文能力的累積。(譬如說最剛開始的時候,一個小時的課程我們只有教五個單字一個句型,但是初級成人美語班有時候一個小時就可以講5/1的時態課程,教了15個單字)
這就是為什麼很少補習班(我幾乎沒遇過)會用語感式教學的方式來教成人,因為成人的邏輯思考已趨成熟,可以直接先去了解句型概念。再去用加強聽跟讀來培養良好的語感。這樣的學習真的快許多,有效率許多。
2. 孩子的口語能力停留在某個階段。其實生活中的口說英文跟我們高中所接觸的英文比起來,簡單許多。在美語課程中,大部分的孩子都可以自在的使用現在簡單式句型,未來式,助動詞句子還有現在進行式(我們的每個英文句子中都帶有時態)但是要在口語中流利地使用過去式,完成式等句子還是會需要刻意的練習。
3. 沒有人糾正的話,孩子的句型中會充滿著小小的錯誤:
錯誤像是名詞前面少冠詞,單複數,時態用錯等常見的錯誤
4. 上國中或是要考英檢,最後還是會需要好好認真補強文法(終究逃不過文法的魔掌心,哈哈!)
國小的英文一般而言都蠻簡單的(私立小學除外)。有不錯的語感的孩子會覺得國小考試普遍簡單,常常可以得到不錯的成績。但是上國中之後馬上會遭遇挫折感,因為國中的文法內容會突然間地加重,再也無法使用現有的語感來應付考試。
對了,希望大家能了解。每一個英文教育制度都有它不完美的地方。我們可以去選擇一個最合適自己或孩子的學習方法,並且知道它不足的地方再去做補強就可以嘍!
5. 大多語感式學習是一段時期學習多種時態句型,這樣的學習較容易混淆時態使用方法
在教學法中,有一派的專家覺得不該應把時態分開學習,因為在生活句子中,時態是穿插使用的。但是我的教學經驗是如果生活中沒有大量英文的浸泡,一次學多種時態句型,把太多時態句型混在一起教,對於初學者來說真的會非常非常容易搞混。
譬如說,如果第三課是教進行式,第五課是現在式。很多時候孩子或是大人初學者在寫句型時候一定會非常常出現這樣的句型
She is eat a banana. (正確:She is eating a banana.)
I am watch TV. (正確:I am watching TV.)
(把be動詞跟動作動詞詞放在一起真的是常見的錯誤)
He is walk to school. (正確:He walks to school. )
其實如果,英文沈浸夠多的話(也就是有足夠的聽的話),就比較不容易犯這種錯誤。況且初學者在學習時犯錯也是正常的,剛開始的英文學習,先有語感,先敢講英文,先喜歡英文真的對於學習英文的幫助會很大。犯錯本來就是學習語言必經的過程。如果我自己有小孩,我也會以這樣方法去來教我的孩子。(孩子從幼稚園到國小六年級,真的有好長的一段時間可以慢慢培養語感,但是私立小學除外,我私立小學的學生,小二就用英文在上文法課程了)
但是如果是成人在學習的話,我真的會建議一次學習一個時態,把那個時態練熟,再練習下一個。等全部的時態都練習差不多,再混在一起做練習。在幫幫孩子加強文法的時候,如果想要確保時態的訓練夠扎時的話,我一樣會一個時態一個時態的分開加強。也因為如此,在我的課程中,我在剛開始會把每個時態獨立成一課,分開學習。
❇️語感與學習文法時間
即使是已經有語感,也有分程度。有語感很好的(接觸的時間長),還有只有一點點語感的(接觸英文的時間較短的)。還有分年齡,孩子的年紀越小,我會更仔細的練習。
以前,當我在帶孩子做文法練習的時候,我用的方法就是我現在課程編排的方法。年紀越小的孩童越是需要把這個練習的過程給拆解的較細緻,就跟我的練習是一樣的。
譬如說:我在帶我小二的某私立小學的學生,在補強文法時。我會先解釋那個時態,然後一種句型一種句型的練習。現在簡單式肯定句造十句練習,然後否定句十句練習,然後是疑問句十句練習。最後混合練習。(通常我不會建議國小五年級以下學員學文法,但是已經有上多年外師課程的雙語學生,因為語感好,所以是可以接受文法的。他們已經學會如何說,只是不知道規則而已。)
但是如果我是帶我的國一生學生,已經有多年的聽說跟非常大量的練習,我就會直接解釋完文法之後,把公式給他們看,直接做綜合練習。
❇️如何用我的基礎英文課程替孩子做文法補強
好了。經過這麼漫長的解釋。我就來說說明,要如何用我的基礎英文課程來加強您的孩子的文法能力。
⭐️1. 找到課表
在每一個課程的「講座三」裡面,我都會放那一課課程的所有練習講義。除此之外,還會有「課表」,跟「國中英文課程對照表」。在這邊我會請您去看課表,在課表的右半邊我都會標示那個單元會是「觀念課程」還是「練習課程」。
➡️觀念性影片:認真看過。
課表中的觀念性影片請孩子一定都要看過。有時候觀念性影片也會有練習講義,請孩子一定要寫過。
➡️練習影片:看前面的講解部分,做過一到兩個練習句型練習後直接寫當課講義。寫講義是測驗孩子有沒有懂了,會不會用了最好的方式。我們自己也會有這樣的誤解,我們會以為我們懂了,但是實際操錯並不見得如此。孩子會因為種種原因會說服你他真的懂了,這真的非常簡單。您只需要請他把講義寫過,沒有犯過錯誤即可跳到下一個單元。錯太多的話就必須回去看過整個影片,做過練習。
⭐️2. 課程快轉:如果一個課程是介於部分的內容懂,部分的內容不懂。像是我自己在學習新事物的時候就常常遇到這樣的情況,我就會快轉。在快轉的時候我會加倍的認真(為了省時),看到不懂的點時回到原來的速度。
⭐️3.養成習慣
與其每次跟他討價還價要不要做這件事情,不如就直接養成一個習慣。設定一個時間,或是在“某事”之後,就做那一件事情。譬如說:“吃完飯後”,必須看一個單元,寫一個講義。
任何再過無聊或是難做的事情只要養成了習慣就會變得“可做”“簡單”。但習慣的養成之前,我們可能需要一點的哄,一點的獎勵,一點的堅持。像是您可以告訴您的孩子,看完一個影片,寫完一個講義,就可以給予一個獎勵。其實成就感也是一個獎勵。
⭐️4. 如果您自己也跟著學,可以把它變成一種好玩的親子時間。像是誰錯的比較少,或是互相測驗對方,或是應用在生活中。都會是一件非常棒的事情。
發揮您的創意,或是您自己是怎樣使您的孩子乖乖看教學影片的呢?非常歡迎您分享,我相信爸爸媽媽們都是非常有創意的,一定有更棒的主意😁!
以前我真的有遇過叛逆的孩子,覺得文法課本的內容(看似)太過簡單。大拉拉的把福爾摩斯英文小說拿出來看。於是我會請他先做文法練習題,有些單元真的很簡單,如果他全寫對。我會會讓他看他的英文小說(只有在別人還在寫文法練習時),但是如果他錯的都是觀念不清楚的,我就會要求他認真上課要不然就失去「全寫對就可以看英文小說的福利」。
我的基礎英文課程的第一到第五課對於已經有不錯語感的學員,真的是蠻簡單的。所以可以看過觀念性影片就可以,並且透過寫我的講義來測驗他是不是真的懂了,可以快速帶過。但是第六課尤其是第七課之後對於任何語感不錯的學習來說,都是有挑戰性的。影片中的句型練習也是非常適合口語能力的訓練,這些練習都是我在訓練孩子劍橋英文口試的時候會用到的題目跟方法。
如果您或您的孩子在學習我的基礎課程方面有任何的問題,歡迎您與我分享。我們的課程在今年9月會推出新增的改版課程,我會在每一課新增一些單元,有些影片內容會不變但是設計會改過。所以您的寶貴意見都可以幫助我把課程改成更棒的課程喔!(改版課程會直接從您已經購買的課程更新,已購買者無需再付費過)

Happy holidays! Sharing this again in case you’re looking for something to do with your little this week! ❤️
Enjoy!
Whether it's the school holidays or not, if you're looking for a fun day out with your toddler, here's the ultimate list I compiled over Ella Grace's 3 week break! 😂😅
Everyday, I would look through the list then narrow it down to one or two choices for Ella Grace to pick from (freedom within boundaries, mamas!) and off we would go!
The list is categorized by area and includes at least one activity and one restaurant. Depending on how she was feeling that day, traffic, dinner plans, etc we would either nap-on-the-go in her stroller (and mama got a quiet coffee!) then continue or we would head home.
Change it up, make it your own, invite a friend, be flexible, but most importantly, enjoy your time together and I'd love to see what adventures you guys get up to! <3

The dinosaur part is glow-in-the-dark and moves and roars...very cool if your little one is into dinosaurs but might be a little scary if not! They also have a rock climbing wall and flying fox in there. You can stop by Borders for a little coffee and warm milk, some books before nap time or for a little rest then head over to Fresco for delicious Mexican w churros for dessert!

I was pleasantly surprised how much we loved Sunway Lagoon (even though she couldn't sit on any of the rides!) and have been back 3 times now! Get the season pass upgrade!

There is also some amount of wildlife like monkeys, iguanas, monitor lizards, water spiders etc as well as turtles and fishes in the lake. We usually stop by Aunty Manju's on the way home for the world's most delicious appom or even a rootbeer float at A&W!

***
RAWANG
Mari House
A new discovery thanks to the #LOccitaneCares program, this lovely little edu-retreat out of the city is a super fun day out for little ones from catching fishes in the streams, checking out tadpoles, learning how to grow organic vegetables using compost and other green techniques, cooking "farm-to-table" to just getting to run around in nature! Come armed in some serious mosquito repellent and on the third Saturday of the month, they have a market and picnic with workshops for the whole family!
***
ETC
Look up the IBU Family Resource Group KL playgroup schedule for the week and see which one you might like to join. If at the IBU House, we like stopping at Aunty Nat's for some delicious Nyonya food after!
Go to the morning market in your neighborhood and stop for some roti after before getting the team at Playgroup_nestkl to come over for an afternoon of messy play that includes customized sensory stations, music, storytelling, and fun!
Set up playdates in your house and just let the kids entertain each other. I can't tell you how many times that even when we had grand plans to meet at all of the above, there were also some seriously lazy days where we just hung out at home and the kids made up their own games and stories and we ate delivery!
The key to it all is just doing what works for your family and your lifestyle. You know your child best and what they can handle, even the most "boring" days in your head are the most magical days to them if only because they got mama all day all to themselves.
