English for Children from 6 Years Old

Parents are increasingly paying more attention to the “golden period” of learning English for 6-year-old children. But for children to develop most effectively and comprehensively, parents need to have appropriate learning methods. Find out with TONO the international standard English teaching methods for 6-year-old children in the article below!

1. Discover 4 benefits of letting your 6-year-old learn English early

A study by Dartmouth College has shown that the human brain changes significantly after the teenage years. Research also shows that children who have perfected their mother tongue will find it harder to acquire English than those who learn two languages simultaneously. So, what are the benefits of letting a 6-year-old child learn English early?

1.1 Golden time for children to absorb knowledge faster

Experts have pointed out that 6 years old is a “speedy” development period for children. Children can quickly absorb new information during this golden period and remember vocabulary and pronunciation more accurately. Parents may be surprised to see how fast their children progress when learning a foreign language at this age.

Parents need to encourage their children to learn as early as possible. Learning English for 6 years old children will create a solid foundation for learning other languages in the future.

1.2 Learning English helps children to be more confident in communication

6 years old children naturally form habits and communication needs that stem from their thoughts and feelings without being hindered by psychological barriers such as embarrassment when pronouncing mistakes. One word is peer or adult pressure. Therefore, letting 6-year-old children learn English early will help them have the opportunity to practice English communication like native children, creating a comfortable state and absorbing knowledge faster when learning the words—basic communication skills.

1.3 Communicate like a native with the ability to ” imitate “.

Children aged 6 have more interest in new things than adults. Babies are more likely to imitate and observe what is happening in their surroundings. During this time, children will actively learn by watching the actions of others. Parents can teach English to 6-year-old children by letting them imitate sounds and pronunciations through English songs, cartoons, and other English sounds.

1.4 Stimulate brain development through learning English

Experts believe that teaching English to 6-year-olds helps children develop their ability to process information and solve logical problems, thereby helping them solve problems and communicate better in adult life.

2. 5 effective methods of teaching English to 6-year-old children that parents should know

For a 6-year-old child to effectively acquire English knowledge from an early age, parents need to apply appropriate learning methods:

2.1 Teaching English vocabulary to 6-year-old children through Flashcards

For 6-year-old children starting to learn English, learning vocabulary through flashcards is very popular and suitable. Flashcards use written cards with text information on one side and images representing the content on the other.

Teaching English to 6-year-olds requires parents to be patient to help children easily absorb basic concepts to avoid boredom and absorb knowledge better. Parents should focus on teaching their children 10 new words daily to attract their attention and keep them energized and energized by learning vocabulary.

2.2 Practice pronunciation for your baby through movies and songs

English has 44 different sounds, 20 single vowels, and 24 consonants, which means learning English pronunciation is highly complicated. It is difficult for 6-year-old children to remember all this knowledge independently. Parents can teach English to 6-year-old children by letting them watch movies and songs with pronunciation for them to imitate.

Parents can find English songs and movies with topics suitable for their children according to their interests so that they can comfortably learn and play.

2.3 Teaching English to 6-year-old children through audiobooks

Learning English through audiobooks helps children absorb English better than just learning through conventional ways. These stories allow children to remember vocabulary and understand how to use vocabulary in sentences. Learning through audiobooks also helps your baby’s reading comprehension ability develop quickly and increase their creativity. In many countries, this method is always used by parents of children.

2.4 Take advantage of intellectually stimulating games

6-year-old children will absorb English knowledge better when they approach learning with a sense of excitement and learn naturally. Playing games that integrate knowledge and lessons comfortably will stimulate children’s curiosity when learning new things. Teaching English to 6-year-old children through educational games gives children hours of “play and learning” that are both effective and interesting.

2.5 Help your child develop comprehensive English when studying at the English center

In addition to the above methods, choosing an English center for your child to develop English is the most optimal method. 6-year-old children learning English at the center will have the best learning path and modern teaching methods suitable for children.

However, many English centers are springing up like “mushrooms”; choosing a good English center for children will be difficult. Therefore, parents must carefully consider the criteria when choosing an English learning center for their children.

    Parent's comments

    After researching English centers, I also took my children to test and study at TONO to see if the environment was suitable. Until now, my son is also looking at TONO for the fifth year. It must be noted that the staff and teachers at TONO are primarily young people who are very active and enthusiastic. His English speaking skills have greatly improved due to frequent contact with foreign teachers. At the same time, his English learning results at school have also significantly improved, and he is very interested in the subject.

    My son Duc Nguyen has been studying online at TONO for three years. Admittedly, TONO has put a lot of emphasis on online classes. Every week, the children learn with foreign teachers. The teachers are all foreigners. Since studying at TONO, Nguyen has improved a lot in listening and speaking skills, and he is also more confident than before. I am very grateful for that.

    My son has been studying at TONO for over three years. I know TONO through a friend of Quan Anh, and it is very worthy to send my son to study here. The center has organized many competitions during the learning process to stimulate the children’s creativity. Especially in the contest “Writing a Letter to Santa Claus,” Quan Anh won the second prize. He is incredibly confident and loves English, which makes me feel pleased and proud.

    My child attended numerous other study centers before coming to TONO, but I found that there was a marked improvement in the way she retained grammar and effectively recalled new words. My command of the English language seemed to have improved recently. The child’s cheerful study habits and firm comprehension of the material, along with the increased confidence the child exhibits when completing in-class assessments, have made the family extremely happy. The center has the family’s sincere gratitude. Both of my children are currently enrolled at TONO, and my family has also has also introduced many friends to TONO.
