Features: Dear kindergarten children, respected kindergarten teachers, and all parents: Since its launch in 1998, the "Preschool Children's English" by Hai Tian Publishing House (China·Shenzhen) has been widely welcomed and loved by kindergarten children, and has also gained recognition and affection from kindergarten English teachers. With the acceleration of globalization, many parents and educators have realized that learning English must start from a young age. As a result, numerous kindergartens across the country have incorporated English as an important teaching content in their curriculum reforms. To meet market demand and in accordance with the new "Kindergarten Education Guidance Outline (Trial)," Hai Tian Publishing House proudly introduces the new edition of kindergarten English — "Modern Children's English" (This series consists of 6 volumes, divided into Upper and Lower for the Little Class, Upper and Lower for the Middle Class, and Upper and Lower for the Big Class, with one textbook used per semester, making it convenient for teachers to teach and suitable for kindergarten children to learn).
This series of textbooks incorporates the strengths of many domestic and international children's English textbooks in its writing. It fully considers the physical and mental development, age characteristics, and the characteristics of Chinese children learning a second language, integrating the kindergarten curriculum as a whole. The content includes words, dialogues, songs, games, and sentence patterns that children love, as teaching materials. At the same time, teachers adopt a child-centered educational philosophy and an educational approach that values appreciation, using TPR (Total Physical Response) and joyful learning methods. They carefully design games that children love, use a variety of valuable props, and employ rich body language and enthusiastic teaching to make learning fun. Children engage in dynamic and rhythmic activities amidst jazz music, achieving effective English learning. This naturally enhances their interest in learning English, cultivates their listening, language sense, oral expression skills, and confidence, helps them learn and master English, and lays a solid foundation for their future studies.
This textbook was developed through long-term teaching practices by the author in over 20 kindergartens of different levels and scales, in close collaboration with the illustrations by Teacher Lü Xiaoping. The purpose of this series is to let children develop a strong interest in English without realizing it. This chapter's textbook is divided into six volumes (8 lessons per volume), with each volume accompanied by a CD (or cassette). The six volumes are divided into the Little Class (Upper and Lower), Middle Class (Upper and Lower), and Big Class (Upper and Lower). The specific content is as follows:
"Modern Children's English" for the Little Class (Upper and Lower) starts with simple and familiar animal and food words that children love, using fast-paced, rhyming forms to focus on cultivating children's interest in learning English and training their pronunciation and listening skills.
"Modern Children's English" for the Middle Class (Upper and Lower) selects vocabulary from familiar and beloved things in children's daily lives, as well as words, sentences, and rhymes related to their learning environment, encouraging practical application and fostering a strong interest in learning English. This helps develop children's ability to speak and use English.
"Modern Children's English" for the Big Class (Upper and Lower) focuses on themes related to nature and society, using listening, speaking, singing, games, dialogues, and performances to cultivate children's awareness of understanding and expressing English. This further enhances their English thinking skills and allows them to experience the joy of English in daily life.
Additionally, to inspire children to love science from a young age, the book includes barcodes that are compatible with "light pens, language reading machines" produced domestically. When using the light pen to scan a barcode, the machine reads the corresponding sound, allowing you to learn English at will.
