In September, English will be renewed, have you heard? ABC is gone!
新版的英语教材，小学三年级零基础的第一课竟然是“how do we make friends”？意思是我如何交朋友！
The new curriculum reform and new teaching materials have surprised many parents and students. Is this to make it more difficult to speak English? What do you say about reducing the burden?
Many people always think that the alphabet and phonetic transcription are the basis for learning English, and it is troublesome enough not to learn the phonetic alphabet.
Many parents always remember their children's test results, thinking that they can't walk and learn to run, how can they get good results, in fact, such thinking is unacceptable, and exam-oriented education may start from this reform!
The starting point of teaching sentences in the third grade of primary school should be to emphasize speaking and application. And not a rigid ABC ... Exams, but no matter how they are changed, it is impossible to be exhaustive and satisfactory to everyone, but there is always a reason for the reform of education.
Maybe this is the right way to learn English, foreigners don't even know what phonetic transcription is, and they don't learn it very well? English is used as dialect learning, and speaking and reading more has naturally become a memory and habit in the brain. The dumb English of the post-80s and 90s generations is all harmed by phonetic transcription!
Is phonics a gimmick?
Someone explained: Directly speaking English is phonics, in fact, it is the letter combination to read what sound, but unfortunately there are too many letter combinations, and it is too difficult to memorize them one by one. If it is extremely difficult to learn in its entirety, it will discourage the learner's self-confidence. Not for Chinese, especially for beginners.
Some people also say: you have been brainwashed by phonics, the so-called phonics is exactly the same as the original phonetic spelling of words, and now changing the name has become a propaganda gimmick! The Ministry of Education's "Compulsory Education Curriculum Standards for English" does not mention "phonics" at all.
If you think about it, this change actually has its profound meaning.
The new textbook focuses on cultivating students' practical application ability, starting directly from daily life, so that students can be exposed to the real English context earlier. However, it is undoubtedly a huge challenge for students and teachers who are accustomed to traditional teaching methods. Especially those in rural areas, English teachers may need more time to adapt to such changes.
The launch of the new textbook is undoubtedly a bold attempt, and it is normal that it will take time and practice to test whether it can succeed.
Looking back, our Chinese language also starts with speaking!
We Chinese also start speaking Chinese first, learn to speak first, and then begin to recognize words! My 2 children started English enlightenment from kindergarten, and they also started from sentences, sentence by sentence, sentence by sentence, and felt the sense of language! In the early stage, I asked the child the meaning of Chinese during tutoring, and the teacher heard and criticized him, saying that now it is just a lot of input! When the child accumulates to a certain extent, he will naturally understand, at present, my sister has been studying for 5 years, and my younger brother has been learning for almost a year!
This reform of English textbooks is more difficult for children in rural areas, and has little impact on children in urban areas!
Nowadays, many children in rural areas are tired of school and can't understand English at all! Sleep in English class, let them study on their own at home, parents are not at home or do not understand English, it is really a fantasy to ask parents for tutoring!
It has little impact on urban children, their parents are mostly intellectuals, tutoring this bit of oral language is not a problem, commuting on time every day, and there is also time for tutoring at night!
Epilogue:
In this English textbook reform, ABC is gone, and the third grade of primary school directly starts to learn from how do we make friends, which is a bold attempt, so that children will not be addicted to the letters and phonetic alphabets, and look forward to success!
