How can I increase my interest in learn basic Chinese? Let’s talk together next!

To learn, one must be interested in the knowledge they have learned. Having an interest in learning is the foundation of learning well. Learning Chinese is even more so, as long as you have an interest in learning, you will only discover the joy in it. Discovering the joy in learning is helpful for persistent learning.

Therefore, teachers should fully mobilize students’ initiative and enthusiasm in learning. Enable students to have a strong interest in learning, stimulate a strong desire for knowledge and motivation, and voluntarily engage in learning, truly transforming “I want to learn” into “I want to learn”.

Learning Chinese should achieve a combination of four aspects and two aspects. The four aspects are: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The two combinations are: “combination of reading and writing” and “combination of listening and speaking”.

Reading is the most basic and essential means of learning any language and culture. Reading is an effective way to improve reading comprehension ability. It is not only about reciting the learned content, but also about thinking and memorizing. In other words, reading should be a process of using one’s mouth and mind.

Improving the learn basic Chinese is a process of accumulating Chinese knowledge, while also cultivating a sense of Chinese language. Therefore, in class, it is important to follow the reading methods given by the teacher, not only to pronounce accurately, but also to pay attention to the tone of the reading, so as to read correctly, fluently, and emotionally. Develop a good habit of reading carefully.

Writing refers to mastering the writing rules of Chinese characters based on reading, and writing them neatly and standardized. Not only can I transcribe, but I also need to be able to perform some dictation and dictation.

And gradually achieve the goal of being able to use flexibly by writing to help with memorization. In the classroom, students should pay attention to observing the writing rules guided by the teacher and carefully imitate them. After class, they should also practice more to cultivate the good habit of using their mouth frequently and using their hands frequently when reading and writing.

Being able to speak is based on being able to listen. As long as you speak well, you will naturally understand. Language learning is ubiquitous. In class, students are required to concentrate, pay attention to listening to every sentence of the teacher, and more importantly, listen carefully to every question raised by the teacher, actively answer, and engage in necessary conversation exercises to “move” their brains and “speak” their mouths.

Develop the habit of communicating in Chinese, whether in class or outside of class, with teachers or classmates, to place oneself in a good Chinese language learning environment. By persevering in this way, one’s listening and speaking abilities will continue to improve.

Knowledge is like the ocean. Learning Chinese is a long process of accumulation, not something that happens overnight, let alone overnight. It must be accumulated bit by bit. Drips of water converge into a large river, and rubble piles up into islands.

In the daily learning process, in addition to listening attentively in class, it is also necessary to complete relevant homework, practice and review necessary, so as to gradually digest and understand, and become one’s own. To be serious, meticulous, and persistent for a long time. With the accumulated achievements over time, the results will come naturally.

Learning and mastering Chinese is an inevitable trend of economic globalization and an unstoppable trend. Improve the ability to learn basic Chinese. Chinese is the most beautiful language in the world and the most precious treasure left to us by our ancestors. Chinese characters are the pride of the Chinese nation.

Recently, the Ministry of Education has issued an article to further promote the cultivation of Singaporean children’s Chinese eloquence and expression skills!

Nowadays, parents are increasingly paying attention to the cultivation of their children’s comprehensive qualities, whether it is their logical thinking training, language communication ability training, or aesthetic cultivation, covering all aspects.

The cultivation of this aspect is not only about cultivating children’s basic language communication skills, but now the Ministry of Education also attaches great importance to the cultivation of students’ oral expression skills.

The official letter mentioned that the Chinese language curriculum standards clearly define the training objectives and course content for students’ oral communication skills.

The “Chinese Language Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education (2011 Edition)” specifically points out the training objectives of oral communication: “to have the basic ability of daily oral communication, learn to listen, express, and communicate, and preliminarily learn to use oral language for civilized interpersonal and social communication.”

In addition, a “Oral Communication” section is set up in the objectives and content of each stage of compulsory education, clarifying the teaching objectives and content of each stage.

From this, it can be seen that the development of children’s language eloquence ability is no longer limited to “extracurricular interest classes”. It has been planned to be included in compulsory education Chinese textbooks.

“In addition to being able to write, you also need to be able to speak” has become a trend for future students to gradually develop.

In addition to the official instructions from the Ministry of Education, parents can also find that “language communication” has become an important element that can gradually affect their children’s “personality”, “learning ability”, and “thinking” in their daily lives.

The “academic bully” has become a stereotype of being silent and engrossed in reading. Nowadays, which child is not proficient in speaking, writing, and martial arts, and pen skills are no longer a single criterion for measuring a child’s excellence.

So how to take a quick step and help children gradually master language expression skills?

One important aspect of Singaporean children’s Chinese eloquence is the accumulation and application of vocabulary. Through active communication with children, teachers enable them to continuously accumulate vocabulary. The accumulation of vocabulary directly affects their oral expression ability and is an important factor reflecting their expression ability.

Education experts often say, “Language is the outer shell of thinking. A person who is capable of speaking is generally intelligent and quick thinking. The training of eloquence and thinking is mutually reinforcing. To make oneself smarter, one should train one’s oral expression skills more.

Eloquence and writing ability can be mutually transformed, and a person who is truly good at expressing themselves is a good writer by recording their speeches. One of the principles of composition training is that speaking of writing is the foundation of being able to write.

But some students are good at writing, and their articles are smooth and fluent, but when spoken with restraint, this requires training. Writing first and then speaking is also a way to practice eloquence. Writing an outline and clarifying ideas is generally a preparation for oral communication.

When practicing eloquence, read more books and news to increase your knowledge reserve. It has to be said that reading more literary works has a great impact on people’s thinking, and it not only affects children’s writing level, but also their language expression ability.

The level of language can determine others’ perception of your cultural and ideological level. You don’t have to read books like doing Chinese reading exercises, just read more. There are also various encyclopedia knowledge, current political news, historical events, and so on, which are purely to increase the “dry goods” that children can throw out when speaking!

Only in practice can true knowledge be revealed. Similarly, in addition to language learning in textbooks and classrooms, it is important to put it into action in real life in order to diversify and enhance children’s ability to apply their eloquence.

If we cannot showcase and train children’s learning outcomes through a platform that only speaks without practicing fake techniques, the final presentation effect will definitely not be as good as that of children with rich language practice experience.

How to find these practical opportunities? Generally speaking, there are many good practical platforms for practicing language structures on the market to hone children’s courage and language abilities.

For example, the annual “Radio and Television Cup” competition held by Radio and Television Education, as well as recitations and hosting competition activities of all sizes, can meet children’s requirements for stage practice.

And the upcoming Chongqing Children’s Spring Festival Gala, which is about to be rehearsed, is a professional and rare opportunity to showcase.

I believe that all parents have understood the important role of cultivating Singaporean children’s Chinese eloquence in their daily lives!

I hope that in the process of oral communication, children can use accurate, appropriate, vivid, clever, and effective oral expression strategies to achieve specific communication goals and achieve satisfactory communication results. This is the art and skill of oral expression!

The ability of Singaporean children’s Chinese oral expression ability is an aspect that parents should focus on cultivating. Having good language expression skills can benefit children for a lifetime. Although language plays a significant role in interpersonal relationships, not everyone possesses good language expression skills.

Language is a tool that can be proficiently used through acquired training. Learning to speak and speak is one of the key skills for children’s future career success. The training of language expression ability can be advanced to the early childhood education period and started in family education, rather than relying solely on written teaching from teachers.

Language education includes four aspects: listening, expression, early reading, and pre writing preparation.

It creates a free and relaxed language communication environment for young children, develops their language understanding and expression abilities, cultivates their interest in reading and writing, and helps them become familiar with, understand, and learn Mandarin.

Early childhood is the optimal period for children’s oral language development. Language education not only plays an important role in children’s lifelong oral expression ability, but also has a positive impact on their cognitive, social, and emotional development.

Parents can help their children improve their expression skills in the following ways:
Try to find topics that your child is interested in to discuss with them, and do not deviate from their cognitive range so that they can “speak” out.

It is rumored that there was once a working elementary school teacher who, during his fifth grade essay class, asked his classmates to write the topic ‘If I were the Manager’, but none of the children’s writings were satisfactory.

Firstly, children have no emotional understanding of the role of “manager”, which is like asking someone who has not seen a horse to draw a horse.

From this, it can be seen that in order for children to learn oral expression, it is necessary to stimulate their enthusiasm, make them feel that they have something to say, and fully activate their thinking, because language always follows the movement of thinking.

This website often reports on which left behind children have autism, largely due to the lack of communication with their parents. Many parents do not know that the foundation of their children’s language learning is imitation, which is the so-called “learning by example”.

Therefore, parents should first talk to their children more and familiarize them with the language in order to maintain a high level of sensitivity to language. This is the most basic step in exercising children’s oral expression ability. Everyone has heard a lot about the story of the wolf child, and it is also true that the environment affects a person’s growth.

The ability of Singaporean children’s Chinese oral expression ability is developed through practice. To cultivate children’s oral skills, it is necessary to encourage them to speak and practice more.

The term ‘practice more’ here mainly refers to giving children more opportunities to tell their own experiences, including retelling stories they have heard, telling book content, creating stories, and talking to others in daily life.

Children should be encouraged to creatively organize language based on their own understanding and mastery of vocabulary and grammar. The current practice of parent-child reading in many kindergartens is also based on this starting point. We always tell stories to our children, and we should also listen to them reading stories to us.

This is very important. When a child comes up with an understanding of something, regardless of whether the child’s ideas are correct or not, parents should not rush to judge and correct the outcome.

Being too hasty can easily dampen a child’s motivation, as it is the child expressing their own will. It is important for them to “speak up” and not care if they are “right” or not. Afterwards, find appropriate opportunities to guide and correct.

The improvement of Singaporean children’s Chinese oral expression ability is a cumulative result.

Language learning is dull and uninteresting, especially for children in their growth and development stages. This requires adding fresh and active elements to language learning to attract children’s attention. Singaporean children’s playful Chinese teaching can increase their interest in learning.

In the classroom, teachers are planners of communication training, directors of “Chinese language programs”, and organizers of game activities.

Real emotional communication between teachers and students can promote the formation and development of classroom communication training, allowing students to engage in enjoyable and informative Chinese language training in a natural and comfortable language environment.

The importance of Chinese tutoring for Singapore.In this Chinese language atmosphere, students will be very willing to respond to the questions raised by the teacher, which is conducive to the development of teaching activities.

In most classes, students’ Chinese proficiency is not very neat, and there are always some students in the class whose Chinese proficiency is higher than others. These people are the “little teachers” and “little translators” in the class, and they are good helpers for the teacher. When they help others, their Chinese proficiency is also improved.

Teachers should play these roles by grouping them into groups and selecting one student from each group to serve as the ‘little teacher’ to assist slightly weaker students. This can not only achieve the goal of promoting learning, but also alleviate the tension and shyness of slightly weaker students by practicing on a small scale, and each has its own benefits.

A formal teaching environment may make students feel nervous or constrained, especially for children from English speaking countries. They are relatively free to talk, walk, or eat freely in their own classrooms, but these are not allowed in China.

We can try to discuss daily topics such as weather and dates before class, creating a relaxed chat style teaching atmosphere. This can not only reduce the pressure brought by the formal classroom atmosphere, but also prevent students from getting distracted.

During the teaching process, it can help students maintain a good overall level of excitement.

Pictures and cards are both good tools for students to recognize characters. In the early stage of Singaporean children’s playful Chinese teaching, teachers can apply life pictures, animal pictures, plant pictures, etc. to classroom teaching. Colors and pictures can help students more effectively remember the Chinese characters next to the pictures. In the next stage, the format of card games can be changed.

I once tried a game called “Sharp eyes”, which divided students into two groups: A and B. The cards with new words were left in front of the students for one to two seconds, allowing them to quickly recognize the new words on the cards through instant memory. The fast group received a star as a reward, achieving good results. This method is also suitable for learning and training new sentence patterns.

Children often show a strong interest in role-playing in the classroom. Performing role plays using new words and sentence structures learned in the text to recreate certain scenes in the text or life is beneficial for cultivating children’s language communication skills.

For example, when learning the content of “payment”, I designed a scene of shopping in a store, where students were asked to use the newly learned words in this lesson to recreate the characters. The effect was surprisingly good.

The students not only used the words “change” and “package” learned in the text, but also used many words they had heard in daily life.

The repeated practice in Singaporean children’s playful Chinese teaching is the main way for children to learn and master a language. Practicing in games not only avoids students’ boredom, but also stimulates their interests. Games are generally divided into the following categories:

Card class
You can read some new word cards one by one for students to recognize, and after one or two rounds, draw a card from them and buckle it on the table for the third round of recognition, allowing students to quickly reflect on what word the missing card is. This game tests students’ memory ability and can also effectively concentrate their attention.

Action class
When playing the game of ‘antonymous actions’, students perform the opposite actions according to the instructions given by the teacher. When the teacher says’ big ‘, the students draw a smaller circle with their hands. When the teacher says’ cry’, the students must make a smile.

In the game of “matching numbers and taking seats”, the teacher prepares two sets of identical cards with words or phrases written on them, and sends one set to the students. The students hold their own cards and stand together. The teacher arranges the other set of cards in a disordered order, and the students find their rightful position according to the arranged order.

Performance category
One is to perform dialogues or content in the text to help students understand the content, and the other is to train students in verbal communication. These games can exercise students’ communication skills.

For example, simulating real-life scenarios such as shopping, visiting hospitals for medical treatment, and conducting interviews with journalists, these practice students’ language communication skills.

During the game, students can not only gain the satisfaction of “growth”, but also receive the benefits of improving their language organization, expression, and listening and speaking abilities.

Memory class
It can train students’ instantaneous memory ability and help transform short-term memory into long-term memory. Teachers can write multiple words on the blackboard and ask everyone to remember them in a short period of time.

Students are divided into two groups, each group selects a team member. The first group member faces everyone with their back to the blackboard, while the second group member erases one of the words.

The first group member turns to look at the blackboard, says the erased word, and makes a sentence using that word. The teacher will fill in the erased words and play the next round of the game.

In recent years, the incidence of depression has gradually decreased at a younger age. According to statistics, about 1% to 2% of children and 4% to 7% of adolescents are troubled by depression to varying degrees, and more than half of the first depressive episodes occur during adolescence. According to survey statistics, the possibility of learning Chinese to treat depression in children has greatly increased.

Children and adolescence are critical periods of life growth and development. At this stage, parents are particularly cautious about their children’s use of medication, especially antipsychotic drugs, which has led to widespread use of psychological therapy to address the psychological and behavioral problems of adolescents.

Cognitive behavioral therapy
Children and adolescents with depression generally have problems such as negative cognition, unreasonable beliefs, low self-esteem, inferiority complex, aversion to learning, and negative cognition. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can effectively improve these aspects and achieve good intervention effects.

The main principle of CBT is that cognition serves as a mediator between emotional and behavioral responses. By using treatment strategies such as cognitive reconstruction, improving coping styles, behavioral activation, and social skill training to change inappropriate cognitive styles, emotional and behavioral disorders can be correspondingly improved.

Interpersonal psychotherapy
The theory of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) assumes that the occurrence and development of various emotional disorders, including depression, are influenced by interpersonal relationships.

By improving the ability and skills to interact with others, handling and resolving interpersonal relationships and crises, it can improve the social function of visitors and alleviate various emotional symptoms.

Interpersonal relationship disorders are common problems in the growth process of children and adolescents, especially those with depression, such as separation from parents, pressure to develop intimate relationships with peers, beginning to experience the loss of family and friends, and interpersonal role conflicts.

Family therapy
Family psychotherapy is a psychotherapy method that involves at least two or more family members participating together, with the aim of restoring healthy family social functions.

Family therapy focuses on the interactive relationships between family members, without paying attention to the psychological structure and state analysis of individual family members; Using a systematic approach to explain the behavior and problems of individual members; To change an individual’s pathological behavior, it is necessary to establish a change in the overall interaction mode of the family.

Family therapy that focuses on children and adolescents’ issues mainly focuses on improving family relationships and alleviating family conflicts; Enhance family understanding of children’s emotional and behavioral issues; Promote effective communication between parents and children; Transforming the parenting style of parents towards their children.

Language is a tool for human communication and a weapon for thinking. Learning Chinese to treat depression in children is also very effectiviy. Individuals rely on language to receive education and grow; Individuals use language to exchange ideas and understand each other. The importance of language education is mainly reflected in several aspects:

Human individuals must understand and communicate with each other through language
Good language communication skills will shorten the distance between individuals and other members of society. When a child is trained to use language accurately to communicate with their peers, parents, teachers, or others, they will be more easily accepted and have good social adaptability.

Language lays the foundation for intellectual development
It is also the foundation for learning other knowledge. The development of early language ability in young children is an important indicator of their intellectual development.

Language has a high degree of generality, and language education can exercise children’s cognitive abilities and help improve their learning abilities. When young children have a certain level of language ability, they can smoothly enter other fields of learning and achieve good learning outcomes.

Language is an essential element in the development of creativity
Early childhood language education helps to improve thinking and imagination abilities, and the development of thinking can promote the development of children’s logical thinking and language expression abilities.

The development of children’s thinking and language abilities is synchronous, and the process of children mastering language is also the process of developing abstract thinking abilities. When adults provide language education to young children, it can promote the development of their thinking activities towards multi-directionality, uniqueness, and adaptability.

Language is an essential factor in improving one’s personality
Through early language education, young children can learn how to receive information from others and express their intentions correctly. This good communication ability helps to develop interpersonal relationships and establish self-confidence.

By allowing young children to operate well-designed language learning aids, they can also cultivate their interest in learning, improve their initiative in learning, and increase their focus and continuity in learning.

These good learning habits have a significant impact on the development of learning Chinese to treat depression in children. It is very limited. No matter what game my baby and I play, I will observe their reduced attention.

Babies often interrupt the focus of their eyes and divert their attention. I will also do the same action to give him a few minutes to slow down, and then we will start practicing from scratch.
