Free English cartoon enlightenment for children with zero basic knowledge

If you ask me, why should we start learning English at a young age? Does it have to be this way? The best reason I can think of is: because the cognitive level of children in early childhood is in sync with English resources (including English animations, original books, etc.). The immersive acquisition method is the best way for children to learn foreign languages, and acquisition relies on a large amount of high-quality input, and English animation is the main input. Foreign animations are all designed according to age. If a child is older, his native language skills are already very strong, and his cognitive level is already high, but he learns English late, he will inevitably face a situation where there are no English resources to watch. You can already read Journey to the West in Chinese, but you can’t even read Peppa Pig in English. So the massive English resources are equivalent to a pile of waste for children. If you can start learning English animations from preschool, a large number of targeted and interesting resources will be available to children, allowing them to learn English in a relaxed and painless environment. There are too many English animation resources suitable for young children to watch, but I found that most parents are still stuck on \”Peppa Pig\” and then complain that their children don\’t like watching it at all, and the road to English enlightenment is blocked at the beginning. . What\’s the problem? In fact, the English version of \”Peppa Pig\” is not suitable for young children to watch, because it is designed for children from English-speaking countries. The speaking speed is too fast and the sentences are too long, making it difficult for young children to understand. Today, I will introduce to you a cartoon that is particularly in line with the cognitive characteristics of preschool children, can be watched even with no basic knowledge, and is suitable for both men and women – \”Hey Duggee\” (Hey! Dodge) \”Hey Duggee\” was produced by AKA, the famous British animation studio behind \”Lost and Found\”, is the first TV animation for preschool children. The content is full of British humor and is very suitable for young children to watch. It won the Emmy Award for Best Preschool Animation. . The cartoon tells the story of the dog teacher Duggee and the five animal children in his interest class, including rhino, wombat, octopus, crocodile, hippopotamus, etc., with bright colors and cute images, similar to the image in Peppa Pig, but in The English expressions are designed to be simpler and easier to understand, and are easily accepted and absorbed by children in the younger age groups. 01. English expressions are suitable for children with no basic knowledge. Why is this animation particularly suitable for children with no basic knowledge? I think it is because it takes great care of children\’s ability levels in English expression. The words, short sentences, and long sentences in each episode of the story are moderately distributed, which can not only help children accumulate vocabulary, but also include short and long sentences. formula input. Words (verbs + nouns) will appear in almost every episode with word recognition corresponding to pictures and sounds. Whether it is a verb or a noun, children can understand it at a glance, which plays a great role in accumulating vocabulary in the early stages. Integrate TPR teaching method into animation, easily learn verbs ▼hopsplash picture and voice correspondence, easily learn nouns ▼egg, flour, sugar, butter, carrots…strawberry, orange, mango, banana…short sentences Once I had a conversation with a well-known English teacherChatting with the teaching director of an educational institution, she said that today’s children understand English, but they are limited to skipping words and have no habit of speaking sentences. Therefore, when designing the curriculum, they will deliberately include links to guide children to produce sentences. While watching their Pre-K courses, I found the so-called guided output sentences. The process is like this: Teacher: What color is it? Student: …Teacher: blue or purple? Student: blue Teacher: It\’s blue. Student: It\’s blue. This is the initial process of the institution to help children from skipping words to outputting short sentences, so when I saw the English expressions in \”Hey Duggee\”, I was convinced that this animation was The design also takes into account the input of short sentences. What’s the weather like outside,Duggee? Yeah, it’s really sunny! Oh! It\’s raining. Long sentences. Of course, the animation will not be as simple as consisting entirely of words and short sentences. Appropriate long sentences will also be added. And I found that the design team is really attentive. They will use different sentences to express the same meaning. The sentence patterns are very rich. For example, students showed their works in turn, and each one used different sentences to express one meaning: Ah, Can we guess what it is, Norrie? Wow! And what has Happy drawn? Guess mine! I\’m next! My go , Duggee! 02. The story theme of \”Hey Duggee\” is suitable for young children. Each episode of \”Hey Duggee\” is about 7 minutes long. Each episode will set a small badge, such as painting badges, adventure badges, rescue badges, etc. These themes are very suitable for preschool children. level of cognition. After students learn and succeed in challenges, they will get a new badge, which invisibly encourages children to take challenges, not be afraid of difficulties, and help each other, which is very educational. Happy saw a delicious cake while playing, and he ate it first as a courtesy. After chewing most of it, the owner of the cake, the rabbit, came and cried loudly. Just when Happy was at a loss, the soul character Duggee came. He calmly took out the Cake Badge and prepared to make a new cake for the rabbits. The children began to learn how to make cakes seriously. After school, everyone can get a cake badge. \”Hey Duggee\” conveys a very good way of thinking about solving problems. Whenever children encounter difficulties, Duggee will always appear and lead them to solve problems calmly and gently. This is also one of the reasons why BBC cartoons are popular: its education is never deliberate, there are no long explanations, and there is no rigid preaching, but it is integrated into small things that happen in life.In the process, let the children get enlightenment and warmth.
