孩子英语启蒙的阶段有哪些？

　　英语外教老师提示大家在英语启蒙初期，通过自然拼读的学习，能很好的培养孩子韵律语感和对英语学习的兴趣。

　　At the beginning of English enlightenment, English teachers suggest that children's sense of rhythm and language and interest in English learning can be well cultivated by learning natural spelling.

　　第一阶段

　　Phase I

　　前语言时期

　　Pre-linguistic Period

　　前语言时期是指从孩子英语启蒙至掌握将近500个英语词汇为止的这一段时间。根据个体的不同，比如：孩子的学习方式和每天在英语上花的时间，每个孩子在这个阶段所花的时间也不一样。这是孩子英语沉默时期。

　　Pre-linguistic period refers to the period from the Enlightenment of children's English to the mastery of nearly 500 English words. According to individual differences, such as the way children learn and the time spent on English every day, each child spends different time at this stage. This is the silent period of children's English.

　　正如婴儿学习母语，在没有说学会说话之前，他们通过面部表情和手势和人进行交流。孩子在学英语时通常也会出现这种现象。在这个时期，孩子通过观看图片、积极倾听，使用周围环境来帮助理解自己所听到/学到的英语单词和句子的意思，并练习发音。

　　Just as babies learn their mother tongue, they communicate with people through facial expressions and gestures before they learn to speak. This phenomenon often occurs when children learn English. During this period, children use their surroundings to help them understand the meanings of the English words and sentences they hear or learn, and practice their pronunciation by watching pictures, listening actively and using the surroundings.

　　孩子们也会通过模仿手势和脸部表情来显示他们的英语理解力(这也是孩子开始英语会话的前兆)。

　　Children can also show their English comprehension by imitating gestures and facial expressions (which is also a precursor to the beginning of an English conversation).

　　他们也可能会完整地重复自己听到或者看到的英语词句，但他们还没有能力用语言清晰地表达自己的意愿并自如地使用英语进行交流。他们就像鹦鹉学舌，把听到的声音原封不动地重复一遍。

　　They may also completely repeat the English words they hear or see, but they have not yet been able to express their wishes clearly in language and communicate freely in English. They are like parrots learning their tongue and repeating the sound they hear.

　　这个时期孩子的英语学习的重要练习手段应该是“听”。从英语儿歌，童谣，带CD的英语绘本将是这阶段最有效的学习方法。

　　In this period, the important means of practice for children's English learning should be listening. From English nursery rhymes, nursery rhymes, English picture books with CD will be the most effective learning methods at this stage.

　　第二阶段

　　Phase II

　　早期语言时期

　　Early Language Period

　　这个阶段的孩子走出了英语排斥期，掌握和理解了将近1000个英语单词。尽管他们还没有学习英语语法，并且在使用时常常会犯语法错误。

　　At this stage, the children are out of the English exclusion period and have mastered and understood nearly 1000 English words. Although they have not yet learned English grammar, they often make grammatical mistakes when using it.

　　但由于他们牢记了一些英语单词和词汇，所以他们也会试着使用这些英语单词和短句和人用交流。

　　But because they remember some English words and vocabulary, they also try to use these English words and short sentences to communicate with people.

　　这个阶段，父母要尽量鼓励和赞扬孩子为说英语而做出的努力。

　　At this stage, parents should encourage and praise their children's efforts to speak English as much as possible.

　　第三阶段

　　Phase III

　　语言形成阶段：

　　Language formation stage:

　　这个阶段的孩子大约掌握了3,000个英语词汇量，并且能使用简单的英语词组和句子与人沟通还可以用简单的英语提问。

　　At this stage, the children have about 3,000 English vocabulary, and can use simple English phrases and sentences to communicate with people and ask questions in simple English.

　　可能我们有时更注重的是孩子是不是会说英语，但事实上是这个阶段孩子的英语理解能力超过了他们的表达能力，孩子也能听懂附有图画的短小英语故事。

　　Maybe sometimes we pay more attention to whether the children can speak English, but in fact, at this stage, the children's English comprehension ability exceeds their expressive ability, and the children can also understand the short English stories with pictures.

　　尽管这个时期的孩子也常常犯语法错误。

　　Although children in this period often make grammatical mistakes.

　　他们可能尽量会试着使用英语，但还不能用正确的形式来表达自己的意思。

　　They may try to use English as much as possible, but they can't express themselves in the right way.

　　这是英语学习过程中一个重要的阶段，因为，孩子的英语理解力有了很大的提高，也开始用他们所学英语进行读和写。

　　This is an important stage in the process of learning English, because children's English comprehension has been greatly improved, and they have begun to read and write in the English they have learned.

　　第四阶段

　　Phase IV

　　中级流利阶段

　　Intermediate fluency stage

　　这个阶段，孩子已经掌握了将近有6,000英语单词和词组。在用英语和人会话或者用英语书写时，他们开始使用更复杂的句子来发表自己的意见和想法，也可以用英语提问。

　　At this stage, the child has mastered nearly 6,000 English words and phrases. When speaking or writing in English, they begin to use more complex sentences to express their opinions and ideas, or to ask questions in English.

　　在学习英语的过程中，孩子会使用从母语文字翻译过来的英语，他们也会借助自己学习母语时所得到的经验帮助自己学习英语。

　　In the process of learning English, children will use English translated from their mother tongue. They will also help themselves to learn English with the help of their own experience in learning their mother tongue.

　　我们经常看到的中式英语就是最好的典范。

　　Chinglish, which we often see, is the best example.

　　但却也能够从中可以看出：母语好的孩子学英语也比较轻松容易。

　　But it can also be seen from this: children with good mother tongue learning English is also easier.

　　这个阶段也是英语学习的一个关键阶段，处于这个时期的孩子开始用英语来思考，这样更能帮助孩子的英语口语的发展。

　　This stage is also a key stage of English learning. Children in this period begin to think in English, which can help their oral English development.

　　第五阶段

　　Phase Ⅴ

　　高级流利阶段

　　Advanced fluency stage

　　根据语言学家的研究，如果要精通一门外语，一般需要4-10年(有的认为是7-10年)持续不断的学习。

　　According to linguists'research, if you want to master a foreign language, it usually takes 4-10 years (some think 7-10 years) of continuous learning.

　　为了保持自己英语会话的流畅性，孩子还需要在日常生活中不断的使用英语参与讨论的机会，这样孩子的英语才不会流失。

　　In order to maintain the fluency of their English conversation, children also need to constantly use English in daily life to participate in discussions, so that their English will not be lost.

　　英语是语音语言，英语从一开始就具有读音与拼写紧密联系在一起的特性。

　　English is a phonetic language. From the very beginning, English has the characteristics of close connection between pronunciation and spelling.

　　现代青少儿英语采用英语自然拼读法，通过直接学习26个字母及字母组合在单词中的发音规则，建立字母及字母组合与发音的感知，了解和学习英语字母组合的奥妙，掌握英语拼读规律，从而达到看到单词就会读,听到单词就会拼的学习目的。

　　Modern young children's English adopts English natural spelling method. By directly learning the pronunciation rules of 26 letters and letters combination in words, we can establish the perception of letters and letters combination and pronunciation, understand and learn the mysteries of English letters combination, and master the rules of English spelling, so as to achieve the learning purpose of seeing words and reading them, and hearing words and spelling them.
