Reflections on Conducting Kindergarten Language Education Activities Based on Children’s Literature

In early childhood education,language education is a crucial component,yet in kindergarten teaching,there often exists issues such as“emphasis on knowledge and neglect of practice.”To address this problem,teachers need to incorporate children’s literature in a reasonable manner to create a conducive environment for language education for young children.This article analyzes and discusses the significance of integrating children’s literature into kindergarten language education activities,and proposes strategies for addressing the current issues in kindergarten language education activities and conducting them based on children’s literature.

First Language Acquisition:How Children Learn Language

All normal children,with their body development and the influence of environment,could naturally use their mother tongue to interact with other language-users at about 6 years old.During this time,they need no formal instruction to acquire the first language,and it seems that there is some'innate'predisposition in the human infant to acquire language.This paper attempts to explore the com mon features that children share when they are in the process of developing language with the support of data from CHILDES(Child Lan guage Data Exchange System),and explain how child learn language.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE LANGUAGE ACQUISITION OF CHILDREN

Recent scientific research has shown that the mind processes verbal information by the method of sound. Different parts of the brain each control specific aspects of the spoken word. The right half of the brain handles vowel sounds,while the left deals with consonent. There are also nsspecial parts of the brain that handle specific aspects of grammar,such as conjunctions,articles, and the passive voice.

An Intervention Study of Language Cognition and Emotional Speech Community Method for Children’s Speech Disorders

Speech disorders are a common type of childhood disease.Through experimental intervention,this study aims to improve the vocabulary comprehension levels and language ability of children with speech disorders through the language cognition and emotional speech community method.We also conduct a statistical analysis of the inter-ventional effect.Among children with speech disorders in Dongguan City,224 were selected and grouped accord-ing to their receptive language ability and IQ.The 112 children in the experimental group(EG)received speech therapy with language cognitive and emotional speech community,while the 112 children in the control group(CG)only received conventional treatment.After six months of experimental intervention,the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised(PPVT-R)was used to test the language ability of the two groups.Overall,we employed a quantitative approach to obtain numerical values,examine the variables identified,and test hypotheses.Further-more,we used descriptive statistics to explore the research questions related to the study and statistically describe the overall distribution of the demographic variables.The statistical t-test was used to analyze the data.The data shows that after intervention through language cognition and emotional speech community therapy,the PPVT-R score of the EG was significantly higher than that of the CG.Therefore,we conclude that there is a significant difference in language ability between the EG and CG after the therapy.Although both groups improved,the post-therapy language level of EG is significantly higher than that of CG.The total effective rate in EG is higher than CG,and the difference is statistically significant(p<0.05).Therefore,we conclude that the language cogni-tion and emotional speech community method is effective as an interventional treatment of children’s speech dis-orders and that it is more effective than traditional treatment methods.

Anderson's Cognitive Theory and Learning Strategy Studies in Second Language Acquisition

Second language acquisition can not be understood without addressing the interaction between language and cognition. Cognitive theory can extend to describe learning strategies as complex cognitive skills. Theoretical developments in Anderson’s production systems cover a broader range of behavior than other theories, including comprehension and production of oral and written texts as well as comprehension, problem solving, and verbal learning.Thus Anderson’s cognitive theory can be served as a rationale for learning strategy studies in second language acquisition.

The Implications of Krashen’s Second Language Acquisition Theory on College English Teaching

Krashen's second language acquisition theory consists of language input theory,emotion filtering theory and languageoutput theory.In order to apply Krashen's second language acquisition theory to college English teaching,it is suggested to commence from the acquisition and learning theories to optimize the teaching environment and methods.On the basis of language input theory,emotional filtering theory and language output theory,English input quality could be improved,students'learning interests could be stimulated and English practical teaching could be accelerated respectively.

The Use of Children＇s Literature With University English as a Foreign Language Learners in Taiwan

This paper reports findings from a longitudinal qualitative study that investigated the use of children＇s literature for Taiwan Residents University English as a Foreign Language （EFL） students＇ reading. During the course of their sophomore year, 17 students participated and each student held two to seven individual reading sessions, to which they brought a self-selected children＇s picture storybook or children＇s novel they had finished reading on their own and orally read it to the researcher. Their oral reading and the discussion of each book with the researcher were audio recorded. To gain insight into the reading progress, these oral data were categorized and analyzed in terms of mispronunciation patterns, misunderstanding of vocabulary, misinterpretation of sentence or passage, and researcher＇s guidance. General findings of the 17 participants were presented in three categories： （1） vocabulary acquisition, （2） common comprehension problems, and （3） common pronunciation problems. Further analysis of two motivated students who read five to seven books revealed that （1） these two EFL learners gradually developed conscious awareness of their own pronunciation and comprehension errors and （2） they progressively acquired better competence to apply the pronunciation tips and reading comprehension techniques provided by the researcher during previous sessions. These findings and corresponding implications are discussed and further research suggestions are made.

中国儿童早期英语否定转移习得:基于使用的语言习得理论下的个案研究

英语否定转移是中国儿童英语习得的难点之一,目前学界研究成果数量较少,方法单一,尤其缺乏纵向个案研究,习得效果不理想。对一名随父母在澳大利亚生活并在当地就读小学的中国儿童A进行时长13个月的纵向追踪,建立语料库分6个阶段进行研究。结果显示,中国儿童的英语否定转移习得以高频典型范例为基础逐渐扩张,儿童二语习得遵循基于高频典型范例的习得机制。中国儿童在早期英语否定转移中出现习得错误,源于一种“固化、杂糅、连带固化机制”,在语言习得过程中,频率会带来固化效应从而有利于语言的习得,但高频率的构式也有可能与相关构式产生杂糅并引起习得错误,习得错误通过连带固化效应进一步在竞争中占据优势,最终产生顽固错误。中国儿童二语习得,一是要利用高频典型范例的锚定作用促进儿童语言习得,二是要警惕高频典型范例与相关构式的杂糅而产生的习得错误,三是要对习得错误及时干预从而避免连带固化现象。
