How do I give English lessons to seniors who have no foundation?

It is somewhat difficult for the elderly to learn English without a foundation, the purpose is to learn daily simple conversations, teaching English standards is not enough time, he will recognize Chinese characters, when I learned English sentences, there was no foundation, but I still learned a lot of English phrase sentences, you can teach him simple daily sentences, write them down, and then mark the sentences with Chinese characters to assist in pronunciation, maybe the tone will be a little wrong, but in his private can read it out by himself. For short periods of study, this should be very effective.

Be sure to start with the words first, teach them patiently, they generally have a bad memory, you have to try to explain and instill knowledge as simple as possible, and avoid complex grammar. When you know the alphabet, contact us for alphabet teaching, don't get confused. When teaching words, you should be like the word explanation above in New Oriental, "humor, connection with reality, association", their receptivity can not be compared with young people, when they are anxious, you have to smile and comfort, tell them that you are already great.

It is necessary to teach happily and seriously, in order to reap the growth of trust and knowledge.

Buy a copy of Communicative English and learn basic conversations.

Teach the words you don't know a few times, and you should have no problem reading them well.

Starting with the simplest teachings such as hello and goodbye, coupled with the Chinese pronunciation and gesture coordination, it is recommended that you refer to the ...... such as Expo English

My friend teaches basic IELTS in Ningbo Global, and I heard her say that she has taught students in their 50s, and the students are learning well.

Why is it good for middle-aged and elderly people to learn English by the reverse method, the reverse method analyzes the following 7 aspects:

Poor phonetic knowledge.

Basic grammar knowledge is not solid.

Vocabulary is not enough.

Lack of background knowledge.

The main thing is a low level of listening, not a lack of background knowledge.

Unfamiliar with proper nouns.

I don't understand the language used by the announcer when correcting a slip of the tongue.

As for why the spelling is incorrect, the reverse method believes that "the main thing is that the spelling of the word is not proficient, and it can be solved by checking the dictionary diligently".

To sum up, according to my actual situation, I need to add a make-up period before entering the initial stage of slow English, and choose the booklet "300 Sentences in English" as the teaching material. This book has few vocabulary, slow speaking speed, and no grammatical difficulties, which suits me very well.

A set of books and tapes, a computer language learning machine. In strict accordance with the requirements of the reverse law, dictate "English 300 Sentences" word by word. Study for more than 5 hours a day, strive to complete the learning tasks in the make-up stage as soon as possible, dictate and make a summary, list the words that are not yet proficient, classify and summarize sentences and phrases with similar meanings and similar structures, and extract wonderful sentences and phrases.

Guidance and successful precedents of the reverse method

1. The elderly should create a context for learning Yingdanchafeng. Chomsky, a well-known linguist, believes that the mechanism of language acquisition and the acquired linguistic environment interact to enable people to acquire language. Under the influence of the environment, people's language ability is constantly improved, and finally learn a language, mother tongue learning has a social environment, not limited by time and place, and British model language learning does not have this condition, so we teachers must try our best to create, make it "British".

2. The elderly can learn English and improve their spoken English through communication. In daily teaching, we pay attention to allowing students to have dialogues, consciously provide real language communication situations, and provide opportunities for language feasibility. For example:

Listening and speaking have been repeatedly trained in a natural and relaxed atmosphere, not like reading dead books in class, but carrying out real language communication, flexibly applying the knowledge learned in class, and consolidating and enriching the knowledge learned, learning and acquisition interact with each other, which can improve the quality of English teaching.

3. If the elderly want to learn English well, they must first dare to open their mouths to speak. English is used to speak, not to rot in the stomach, the language is to use more and more proficient, you must dare to open your mouth, take the initiative to communicate with others in English. Therefore, when the elderly learn English, don't be afraid of embarrassment, not afraid of mistakes, not afraid of others laughing, and speak boldly and proactively.

4. If the elderly want to learn English well, they must often speak it. It's not enough to be courageous, you also need to practice frequently. Simple and important words and sentences should be said often and repeatedly, so that they can be remembered and used.

I myself am one such example, no matter what I do at home, I think about the letters in my heart and the words in my mouth. When I walked on the street, I practiced my pronunciation, went to the supermarket to pick out imported goods, because they were all introduced in English, and when I didn't know it, I asked the young people around me.
