English language school for children from 3 years. Summary of English classes for young children (2-3 years) "My toys
Group and individual English classes according to the method of Valeria Meshcheryakova "I LOVE ENGLISH" for children from 2 to 9 years.
Most of us begin to learn English at school. We get good grades, go to universities and continue to learn the language there too. But often after graduating from a university, we suddenly realize that we do not know foreign speech at all. We decided to rectify the situation!
It is probably not easy to imagine that at five years old children know not only abcgd but also abcd. But in our club this is really so. Children get acquainted with the English language from the age of two, and by the school age there are already several hundred words in their language luggage. But this is not the main thing. They remember the whole expression, not individual words. The ability to build a sentence is more important than the vocabulary in itself ...
In the classroom, his leader almost does not speak Russian at all. With the help of games, songs and fairy-tale characters, children are immersed in the English language environment and feel comfortable. This helps to better understand English and not be afraid to speak a barely familiar language yourself. And these are completely ordinary children. In the lessons, they learn to tell what they like to do in kindergarten, what they do on the weekend, what weather is outside and what is their favorite season. For kids there is no problem in what language to speak: Russian or English. The main thing is to be understood. Some English teachers say that only a native speaker can correctly deliver the pronunciation. But is the notorious pronunciation so significant? Or is it more important that the language fulfills its applied function - to understand and be understood? After all, sometimes people cannot communicate with each other, even when they speak the same language! And the main thing is that the children understood - the language should not be crammed, it should be spoken.
The method gives excellent results, and most importantly - the children just fall in love with the English language and are happy to attend the circle.
Both group and individual lessons are possible.
A three-year-old child is a small person who actively learns the world, and English for children of 3 years old is a great way to speed up this process. After all, now you can speak two languages \u200b\u200bat once! The Constellation Children's Center offers group and individual English language instruction according to the method of Valeria Meshcheryakova. And if your own memories of foreign language lessons are not too positive, be sure to come to the first classes with the crumbs. Your opinion will change dramatically.
English courses for children from 3 years old - this is not the formation of pronunciation and the monotonous repetition of new words. At this age, children have a unique ability to capture sounds, skills, behavior - imprinting. Take a look: how easily and confidently an active baby comes in contact with peers or children younger. And nothing will change if they speak different languages. English for children from 3 years old makes it possible to memorize stable expressions and phrases that children use as an active vocabulary. This is the age of contact, the age of self-expression, and the crumbs will certainly share the information received with everyone around them. So - to speak English with them!

Methods of teaching children 3 years old English
The author of the methodology, Valery Meshcheryakova, divides instruction into five levels, depending on the age of the child and his abilities in a given period. Listen, talk, write, analyze - the whole process children go through 9-10 years. The stage of teaching English to children of 3 years is called “I can sing” - I can sing. At this age, kids are exceptionally musical, and love to learn children's songs. So why not sing in English?
During the entire lesson, the teacher hardly speaks Russian. He speaks with the kids in their language: actively uses facial expressions, gestures, intonation, toys. Teaching English to a child of 3 years old is an exciting game, a theatrical performance in which there are no spectators, but only actors. They sing, dance and play finger games. And they easily remember new interesting words and expressions.

Vera Mashko
“ I wanted my child to start studying English, because at the age of 3-5 years the basic process of forming language skills takes place, and for children this is the best and most effective period of forming the foundation for 2 languages \u200b\u200b- Russian and English. The main criteria that guided me when choosing a school are a foreign teacher and group instruction. The teacher, a native speaker, allows you to immerse the child in the language environment through regular communication only in English. Group training allows the child to talk and communicate a lot with other children in English. All this I saw in Windsor, so I chose this school. The teacher conducts classes in a playful and interesting way for the child, without overloading him with a large amount of information in English. And although at first I expected that the child would be given more information in the lessons, now I understand that the approach when the child is not overloaded is more effective at this age, because he likes classes and wants to attend them.”
Elena Bychkova
“ All my friends gave their children to learn the language from 3 years. Now, after several years, they speak English well, no worse than in Russian. Therefore, a year ago, guided by their experience, I decided to send my child to such courses. The first reason we chose Windsor School is the price and the possibility of a monthly payment. The second is a native speaker teacher. The third reason is that the lesson here lasts 1 hour 20 minutes (and not 40 minutes, as in most schools). And finally, the fourth reason is the proximity to the house and the metro. Since my child already had a minimum base before starting classes, the main goal for us was to regularly communicate with an English-speaking teacher so that the child could get used to natural speech in a foreign language. My child began to speak English more and better, he really liked the teacher. We were satisfied with the result, so at the beginning of this school year we went to a test lesson with a new teacher, we liked him, and we continued to study at school.”
Natalya Netway
“ For the second year now, my daughter has been studying at school, she is 4 years old. I believe that this is the best age when a child can effectively learn English. We chose a school that would be near the house, because the child needs to be regularly taken from home to attend classes. I also wanted the classes to be intensive and take place in a game format. In my opinion, English should be studied regularly and intensively, only then there will be a result. At Windsor, classes were held 3-5 days a week for 2 academic hours. A game form is of great interest and motivation for a child of this age to attend classes. Another important requirement is a native speaker. When the teacher does not speak Russian, the child does not have the opportunity to receive a Russian translation and is forced to adapt to the situation. Windsor School met all of the above criteria. My expectations from 1 year of school came true, my child learned to speak and understand a lot of English words and phrases related, for example, to the name of the color scheme, animals, clothes, learned to count. She loves to listen to children's songs in English on the tablet and learn them. And since I see a concrete result, we decided to continue our studies at Windsor.”
Learning a foreign language at a younger preschool age is possible, but fundamentally different from the methods used in schools. English in kindergarten or at home for children 3 years old should not be taught, but gradually introduced into everyday life. Practice shows that the best approach is when a 3-4-year-old child learns a foreign language on the basis of bilingualism — that is, as a second mother tongue.
The necessary conditions
To successfully study a foreign language with a young child, the following conditions must be observed.
- At least one member of the family is fluent in English. In an extreme case, you can hire an English-speaking nanny, but this can later be fraught with psychological problems for the child - he will be at a loss if mom or dad will not understand him when he tries to speak English with them.
- Do not mix languages \u200b\u200b- if the child pronounces the phrase in English, then he also needs to answer in English. In no case should words or their combinations in another be included in sentences in one language.
- Create a language environment if possible, at least at home - often turn on television channels in English, watch cartoons, place posters with alphabets of both languages \u200b\u200bat home, use inscriptions and signed pictures. This will help the child to develop linguistic abilities, learn English melody, form the correct pronunciation and perception of fluent speech by ear. In no case should it be that English remains for the baby a strange means of communication only with her mother or nanny.
Do not be zealous with songs and music - a child with difficulty at this age perceives words when singing in any language. An exception can only be children's play songs.

How to learn English with a kid?
English for young children is uncomplicated, it is easily acquired. The basic rule that parents should remember is that your child will have two native languages. Accordingly, English should enter the daily life of the family. No need to arrange special classes or set aside separate time for studying songs and viewing pictures. The child should hear the background sound of the language as often as possible, for which family members should ideally speak it periodically. You can find friends who study or know English, turn on the speakerphone while talking on Skype. There are special online services for communicating with native speakers, where people from different countries help each other for free to improve their knowledge of the language. But it's all about the atmosphere that will help the child learn new knowledge. He himself will not speak English unless you deal with him.
The main methodological methods for achieving the result are as follows.
- To learn children's play songs, for example, “Left and right”, “Head, shoulders, knees and toes”, “Fingers` family” and others. Singing these songs, you can do exercises with the baby.
- Read him simple tales from picture books, showing the characters depicted and their actions. At the same time, it is worth emphasizing the names of the heroes and their actions: “This is a mouse. A mouse runs to the hole. This is a cat. Cat runs, he wants to catch a mouse. ”At the same time, you can and should use your gestures and pictures to show your child what“ run ”,“ catch ”is.
- New words can be entered in large quantities, but by choosing those that are often used in Russian. These will be the names of animals, toys, furniture, clothes, favorite things and activities of the child living in the house. Be sure to show the item, call it, then after a couple of minutes, ask to submit it, find, wash, clean or do something else. So the words will be organically added to the vocabulary and easier to remember.
- It is very useful to watch cartoons in English. But before showing the cartoon to a child, look at it yourself, analyze what new words there are, and unobtrusively introduce them to the baby before viewing them together. Heroes and their names can be studied with the help of pictures, their actions and feelings can be taught in a playful way.
The same intonation in the same situations will greatly help the understanding and assimilation of new vocabulary. If you called your child to eat in Russian always with the same phrase, then with the same intonation and the same words, call him in English. If you don’t understand it the first time, show with gestures that it’s time for him to “eat”. In the same way, other household verbs are introduced: wash, drink, dress, wake up, sleep, and others. Learn and frequently repeat questions in a playful way: What is it? What are you doing? Where is (something)? Do you like (something) and others. Focusing on the selection of questions and vocabulary is based on the main phrases you use in everyday life in Russian. So it will be easier for you and the baby.
It is worth considering that children are very sensitive to the state of adults, and if you yourself speak English with stress, choosing words with difficulty, the kids will not feel comfortable and may even refuse to learn the language.
Learning a foreign language with a child aged 3 years is an excellent way for parents to improve their knowledge and get language practice.
