How to cultivate children's listening ability 1 first ask the question of listening.
Mrs. Nancy, an American educator, said: "If you sow the seeds of good habits from childhood, you will reap the harvest of fate, and children with good listening habits will benefit for life." It is pointed out in the content and requirements of the language field in the "Guidelines for Kindergarten Education": "It is necessary to cultivate children's habit of paying attention to listening and develop their language understanding ability." It can be seen that we can improve children's listening while speaking.
Second, the problems in developing children's listening ability
As we all know, good listening is the premise for children to acquire knowledge, which is of great help to the development of children's language and thinking. However, it is not difficult to find that there are still some problems to be solved.
(A) adults do not attach importance to the cultivation of listening ability
Many adults will reprimand and blame their children when they interrupt or don't pay attention to listening, resulting in their losing their desire and interest in listening, thus becoming unwilling to listen or unable to listen. There are also some adults who take children as the center, and think that interrupting and other behaviors are the performance of children's self-confidence and competence, and often follow the children's meaning too much, so that children will not listen more and more.
(2) Bad listening habits.
Bad listening habits are the main problems that affect children's listening. Children's bad listening habits are usually manifested as follows: children can't listen quietly, don't pay attention when listening, interrupt at will, and can't listen patiently to teachers or companions telling stories.
(C) the limitations of children's physical and mental development characteristics
Limited by children's age characteristics, children's listening quality is low.
In activities, we always find that individual children can't concentrate on listening or understanding what they are listening to. For example: look around, do small moves and so on. This is all restricted by children's physical and mental development.
(D) Negative role models of adults
Parents, teachers and important others in the process of children's growth and development will affect the development of children's listening and language expression ability. Most adults can't listen carefully to children's expressions, which indirectly affects children's listening development.
Third, ways to cultivate children's listening ability
According to each child's different acceptance ability and personality characteristics, when cultivating listening ability, we should formulate training programs according to the children's age characteristics.
(A) to stimulate children's interest in listening
Interest is the best teacher and the motivation for children to learn actively. Only listening can arouse children's interest, and children's attention is easy to concentrate and their thinking is active. Therefore, the wonderful sounds of nature, rich small game activities and vivid story performances can always attract children's attention, cultivate children's listening, and thus better stimulate children's listening interest.
1. attract children's attention through sound.
2. Cultivate children's attentive listening through games.
3. Meet different children's listening interests through stories or poems.
(B) cultivate good listening habits
In teaching activities, individual children will not be able to complete the established teaching tasks well because of inattention. Therefore, in order to better cultivate children's good listening habits, teachers let children strive to do:
1. Be able to pay attention to other people's conversations and respond to other people's expressions and voices.
2. Be able to listen to others politely.
3. Can distinguish different timbre, tone and intonation.
4. Be able to understand and implement the instructions and requirements put forward by others.
In order to make children meet these requirements better, we should instill and infiltrate them bit by bit in daily life and teaching activities, and achieve the expected results.
(3) Give play to the exemplary role of teachers' language and set an example.
In kindergarten, children often talk or complain. At this time, teachers should set an example, pay attention to their words and deeds, listen carefully and guide patiently. When asking questions to children, wait patiently and listen to their answers. In the process of listening, we should give children some feedback, let them know the teacher's concern and understanding, so as to cultivate their ability to care about and listen to others.
(4) Create a good listening environment and a good listening atmosphere.
A good listening environment can play a multiplier role in cultivating children's listening ability. For example, during recess activities, tell children some short stories. Play soothing music during meals and naps. This can not only cultivate children's sentiment, purify their hearts, but also cultivate their listening ability in non-teaching activities.
(5) Strive for the cooperation and support of parents.
The cultivation of children's listening ability also needs the cooperation of families. In life, the communication between parents and children plays an important role in cultivating children's listening ability. Therefore, parents should spend more time with their children, tell them interesting stories, ask questions for them to answer properly, or role-play stories at home, so that children can enjoy listening while playing.
Listening is the first step for human beings to contact the world and express themselves. It is one of the important means for children to get in touch with society and receive information. It is the act of perceiving and understanding language. It can be seen that in the critical period of children's thinking and speech development, it is very important to cultivate listening, which is a process that cannot be ignored. Therefore, we must cultivate children's good listening ability and lay a good foundation for them.
How to cultivate children's listening ability II. The importance of listening habits
Children must first learn to listen when learning a language, because listening is the behavioral expression of children's perception and understanding of language, and it is an indispensable behavioral ability for children's language learning and development. Only those who know how to listen, are willing to listen and are good at listening can truly understand the content, form and application of language and master the skills of communicating with others.
The habit of "listening carefully" is not innate, but requires long-term and multi-channel training and training.
Second, guide parents how to cultivate their children's listening ability.
1. Parents can cultivate their children's listening ability from the following points.
Interest is the motivation of children's active learning. Only when listening can arouse children's interest can children devote themselves to listening activities. There are many story books on the market now, so we should help children choose them selectively. Small class children can choose big screen and few words. Stories are short and interesting nursery rhymes and stories.
Small class children like to listen to stories, but because of their weak language expression ability, unstable attention and easy dispersion, some children can't understand semantic content, which affects their listening.
Secondly, games can be used to stimulate children's listening interest. Games are children's most basic and favorite form of activities, and children develop in games. Children, in particular, have a high degree of participation in games. Talking to children in a game tone is easy for children to accept, so our teachers often use games in reading activities.
2. Kindergartens mainly cultivate children's listening ability through the following aspects.
(1) Actively creating a good language environment is the key to cultivating children's listening habits.
In order to let children develop good listening habits, we should create a listening environment for children. For example, when children go in and out of the park, we will play some beautiful children's songs, stories and recordings of light music for children in their spare time before and after meals. When children are walking or going out to play, let them listen to the sounds of nature (wind, rain, thunder, etc.). ), animals (cats, dogs, cicadas, tigers, etc. ), as well as vehicles (honking, honking, bicycle ringing, etc. ) ... after listening, guide them to imitate and tell stories and play their imagination. For example, last week, our Class Two launched a "singing car", in which I chose three representative cars: fire truck, police car and ambulance. By listening to their voices, we can learn the songs of cars and understand the different functions of these cars in our lives.
(2) Talking with children more is the basis of cultivating children's listening habits.
Children's thinking is intuitive and they like parroting. When talking with children, try to be vivid and expressive. Speak slowly so that they can hear the correct pronunciation of every word, especially the sounds that are difficult or inaccurate for children. When speaking, the mouth shape is slightly exaggerated, so that children can not only hear the accurate pronunciation, but also let students see the mouth shape of pronunciation clearly, which is convenient for children to imitate.
(3) Set an example and become an example for children to develop listening habits.
Being a good listener of interested children, listening to children's stories patiently and carefully, and being interested in what children say are the best encouragement for adults and an example of giving children good listening habits in a subtle way.
How to cultivate children's listening ability? 3 "Listening ability" mentioned in "Guidelines for Kindergarten Education (Trial)". Ask the child to be quiet. Focus. Listen to others politely. How to cultivate children's good listening habits and improve their listening ability in education and teaching activities?
First, take the lead. teach by precept and example
When children first come to kindergarten, they are like a blank sheet of paper. Teachers' words and deeds will leave a deep imprint on children's hearts. Therefore, teachers should pay special attention to setting an example. Teachers should first listen attentively to every child's speech, whether right or wrong, fluent or hesitant, whether telling or "reporting", no matter how busy they are, teachers should stop their work, listen patiently, and help them solve problems and calm down their emotions. Therefore, every teacher asks himself every day: "Today, I am very patient. Have you listened carefully to the children? " Really play a demonstration role for children.
Second, timely praise and full affirmation.
When teachers discover children's good listening habits in education and teaching activities, they should affirm and evaluate them in time and set an example for learning. Teachers can seize the favorable opportunity to guide children with some tendentious language hints. For example, "Yang x x can hear the main content of the story at once because he listens carefully", "You see, Wang x x speaks well because he listens carefully" and so on. This not only praised the children who listened carefully, but also pointed out the direction of efforts for other children.
Third, strengthen guidance and master methods.
As for whether the child listens or not, the teacher should ask in time and explain the method. For example, children can face the speaker when listening to others, don't look around, don't make small moves, don't interrupt casually, and don't look directly at each other's eyes. Let the children know that it is impolite to interrupt others. Whether you agree or not, you should let others finish their sentences before expressing their opinions. The cultivation of listening ability is not achieved overnight. Teachers should cultivate it patiently and slowly, and teachers should praise, affirm and reward children who have made progress in time. In addition, family cooperation is an important factor in developing children's listening. Parents can consciously create a good family language environment for their children and extend the cultivation of children's listening ability to the family, thus promoting the all-round development of children's listening ability.
How to cultivate children's listening ability 4 Listening is the first step for human beings to contact the world and express themselves; It is one of the important means for children to get in touch with society and receive information. It is children's perception and understanding of language; It is also a good habit for children to study. In the "Shanghai Preschool Education Outline", the first item in the "Expression and Performance" section is: pay attention to other people's speeches and understand their meanings. In the practice of educational activities, many teachers attach importance to the cultivation of children's oral expression ability, but ignore the cultivation of children's listening ability. Ignorance of good listening is a prerequisite for children to acquire knowledge, and it is also an important means to improve their oral expression ability. So in practice, I attach great importance to the cultivation of children's listening ability.
First, focus on stimulating children's listening interest.
Interest is the motivation of children's active learning. Only when listening can arouse children's interest can children fully mobilize their enthusiasm and devote themselves to listening activities. As a teacher, we should first choose what to listen to carefully. We should choose different listening content for children of all ages according to their different age characteristics. For example, for children in small classes, choose some short, interesting, easy to understand and easy to remember nursery rhymes and stories. For the children in the middle class, choose some long, vivid and performative content. For children in large classes, choose some relatively long, tortuous and difficult content. Secondly, teachers should be good at grasping hot topics that children care about. Children often care about what they are interested in. For example, children are very interested in all kinds of children's food advertisements broadcast on TV programs every day. So I often organize children to say advertisements, so that other children can listen to whether he (she) is the same as what is said on TV. What should I say? This has aroused children's interest in listening. They can not only listen carefully to the advertisements said by their peers, but also be more interested in listening to TV advertisements so as to speak better next time. Third, teachers should discover the little progress of children in time and give them full affirmation and positive encouragement. Children always want to be praised by adults, and teachers are important people to children, so teachers should make full use of children's psychological characteristics and stimulate their interest in listening. Especially for timid children, we should give full affirmation and positive encouragement.
Second, pay attention to the cultivation of listening habits in all aspects of the day's activities.
Habits are not formed overnight, but can only be formed over time. Therefore, I attach great importance to the cultivation of listening habits in all aspects of the day's activities. Whether children can hear and understand the teacher's explanation will directly affect their participation in activities. In order to make children happy and smooth activities, I will remind every child to listen carefully when making requests in every activity. For example, roll call every day is a good opportunity to cultivate children's listening habits. When I call the roll, I ask the children to listen carefully to see who has ears and can hear their names clearly at once. At first, there were regular place names, and then the student number on the roll call was disrupted: today it jumped from the penultimate to the penultimate, tomorrow it jumped from the penultimate to the penultimate, and the irregular place names were disrupted the day after tomorrow. The children are very interested in this way of roll call, and they will listen quietly every time if their names are called. After a few times, they will form a good habit of listening when they call the roll. Another example: in the hot discussion that children care about, they are not only required to listen to the teacher, but also pay attention to guiding them to listen to their peers. I often ask other children after a child has finished speaking, "Do you think he (she) speaks well? Where is the good news? " This also urges every child to listen carefully to his peers, thus gradually developing children's good listening habits.
Third, use a variety of games to cultivate children's listening ability.
Children naturally like games, and practicing boring listening training through interesting games will get good results. For example, if I say something about the game "tape recorder", let the children repeat it word for word and compare which "tape recorder" is of better quality. When listening, the children are very serious and want to be the best "tape recorder". Another example: the game "Error Correction". I made a mistake on purpose and asked the child to correct it. For example, I said, "The beautiful spring has come, and the grass on the ground has turned yellow." The children will soon correct: "beautiful spring has come and the grass on the ground has turned green." Or "it's beautiful autumn, and the grass on the ground turns yellow." In this way, through interesting and enjoyable games, children's listening interest is stimulated and their listening ability is gradually improved.
Fourth, pay attention to individual differences and promote children's listening.
Every child is an independent individual, and every child's situation is different. Therefore, in the cultivation of children's listening ability, we should pay attention to individual differences, put forward different requirements for different children, put forward higher requirements for children with strong ability, and lower requirements for children with weak ability accordingly. For example, the same game "tape recorder" requires children with strong ability to repeat long sentences, while children with weak ability only ask for short sentences or phrases. At the same time, different methods are adopted for children in different situations: chatting with timid children; For children with weak hearing, slow down when chatting with them, or add gestures, eyes and actions to make them hear clearly and understand; Tell more interesting stories and nursery rhymes to children with strong hearing, so that they can learn to retell stories and recite nursery rhymes.
Finally, to cultivate children's listening ability, teachers must pay attention to listening to children's expressions.
Children's emotions need to be communicated, and children's hearts need to be cared for. In educational practice, teachers often pay attention to cultivating children to learn to listen, so that children can listen to their own words and instructions, while ignoring their own expressions. In fact, teachers' listening to children's expressions plays a very positive role in strengthening the communication between teachers and children, promoting children's listening and improving children's oral expression ability. Therefore, when children have the needs of life and study, when children have grievances and want to explain, when children have secrets to confide, even if you are busy and tired, you should take time to listen to their voices.
How to Cultivate Children's Listening 5 So, what methods can better cultivate children's good listening? We know that listening ability is different from expressing and communicating ability. The ability of written expression is formed in words, and the ability of oral expression and communication is formed in sound. However, listening ability has no independent material shell, which is difficult to capture, which brings certain difficulties to its cultivation. However, although listening ability is intangible, it is often integrated with oral expression and communication ability, which provides us with useful enlightenment and clues to explore ways to cultivate: effective education lies in guiding children to experience the following stages of listening development. Teachers should provide opportunities for children to develop their listening comprehension.
First of all, decompose the development goal of listening ability and cultivate children's listening ability in a targeted manner.
The cultivation of listening ability is not achieved overnight, but presents a certain stage. For example, at the beginning, only children are required to have the awareness of listening, know that listening is very important, and be able to concentrate on listening. Is there a sound? What's that noise? Wait a minute. On this basis, gradually let children develop the awareness and habit of listening. Teachers should pay attention to consolidation and strengthening in their usual teaching. When cultivating the external behavior of listening, teachers should pay attention to the cultivation of listening ability itself, so that children can not only listen, but also process and improve the content of listening. For example, children can process and integrate what they hear and grasp the key points of listening content.
Secondly, from the routine, pay attention to cultivate children's listening habits.
Good listening habits are an important guarantee to improve children's listening ability. In daily activities, we should consciously cultivate children's listening awareness and habits. Specific to daily activities, children are required to basically do: 1. When others are talking to themselves, they can listen attentively, look into each other's eyes, pay attention to their mouth shape, expression and posture, and respond accordingly; 2. When others are talking, keep quiet and listen politely; 3. Be able to distinguish different phonemes, tones and intonations, and be able to understand and implement the instructions and requirements put forward by others; 4. Be able to understand Mandarin and distinguish the different pronunciations and expressions between Mandarin and mother tongue. In normal teaching, teachers can tell some interesting stories, such as "small bugs who love to interrupt", and guide children to learn to control their own behavior and learn to listen to others. You can also cultivate children's listening by retelling. After listening to your partner or teacher, please try to repeat what you have heard intact.
Thirdly, in specific teaching activities, strengthen the cultivation of children's listening ability, so that children can listen consciously.
1. Give the child a listening task before the activity, give the child a sense of task and let the child listen with the task. For example, before a child answers a question, assign tasks to other children: let the child repeat the questions raised by the teacher or relay the answers of other children; You can also ask other children to listen carefully to their peers' answers. When it's their turn to answer, the answers are different from others. Or evaluate which child answered best and which one didn't answer well, and so on. Through this kind of conscious cultivation, children are motivated to listen carefully. 2. In activities, teachers should be good at responding to children and improve their thinking level by promoting responses. For example, in the teaching of "gifts", when the teacher introduces the activities, he puts a big gift in a paper box and lets the children guess: "What gift is it?" A child replied that it was a kitten, and the teacher immediately asked the child to think about whether there was any difference. Then the child replied: puppy, rabbit. Then, the teacher responded in a different way: "Just now, the children talked about small animals. Will it be other gifts? " So the child's thinking is further divergent: it may be flowers, chocolates, cakes and so on. The teacher further summed up the promotion: "Just now, the children mentioned that the gifts in the box may be small animals, plants and food. Is it possible that there are other things besides these three kinds of things? "
Finally, strengthen the evaluation of listening ability.
Teachers should change the tradition of praising only children who answer questions, and also affirm and praise children who listen carefully in time. If after a class, the teacher only praises those children who speak actively, and over time, it will give the children a guide: only by answering questions actively can they get praise and affirmation from the teacher. In order to cultivate children's listening, teachers should consciously increase their positive evaluation of listening and give praise and affirmation to children with good listening. Long-term persistence, children will learn to listen consciously.
In addition to the above methods, teachers should also pay attention to some small details in their usual teaching. If you know your child's hobbies, what kind of stories children like to listen to and pay attention to what they like; The choice of activity difficulty should adapt to the child's existing development level, neither too difficult nor too easy; Observe the child's attention, adjust the volume accordingly, and attract the child's attention with bass; Don't sit with two children who may fight, and so on. In this way, the child's attention can be better maintained. In addition, some behaviors, language and actions of teachers will affect children's listening, such as enthusiasm, activity (but not excessive), eye contact and so on.
Listening is an acquired behavior, and listening ability is constantly improved with the influence of experience and environment. One of the duties of teachers is to carefully design planned activities so that children can continuously develop their listening comprehension.
How to Cultivate Children's Listening 6 Children are in a critical period of language development, so they should learn to listen, speak and communicate their thoughts and feelings in language. Cultivating children's listening ability is the basis of developing children's language. Obviously, it is very important to cultivate children's listening ability. So, what are the specific aspects of children's listening ability?
First, the specific content of children's listening ability
The cultivation of children's listening ability focuses on three listening skills:
Pay attention to the lecture, pay attention to the lecture (including paying attention, not making small moves, thinking can follow the teacher, etc.) ).
Discriminatory listening, distinguishing different contents (such as sounds made by different musical instruments, voices of people of different ages and genders, etc.). ).
Comprehensive listening, listening to the main content and the meaning of the contact context (including answering questions and executing instructions, etc. )
Second, the reasons for children's poor listening ability
Listening is the earliest verbal activity that children master. Good listening is the premise for children to acquire knowledge, which is very beneficial to the development of children's language and thinking. However, in real life, children's listening ability is weak, which is mainly manifested in the following aspects:
1. Adults don't attach importance to the cultivation of listening ability.
Many adults think that listening is innate and there is no need to cultivate it. When children interrupt or don't concentrate on listening, they reprimand and blame, for example, adults ask children to listen. The style of reprimanding and blaming will make children lose their desire and interest to listen, and they will become unwilling or unwilling to listen. At the other extreme, adults take children as the center and think that interrupting is a sign of children's self-confidence and competence. They often follow their children's wishes too much, so that children will not listen more and more.
2. The limitations of children's physical and mental development characteristics
Limited by the age characteristics of young children, their attention is easily distracted, their self-control is weak, and they lack patience to listen to others. In the process of listening, they will inevitably make small moves and look around. In particular, some children are smart and eager to express themselves. They are often eager to express their ideas in group activities and interrupt other children's speeches. So children sometimes can't hear clearly or can't hear at all.
3. Negative role models for adults
Parents, teachers, etc. Is an important figure in children's growth and development. Adults' words and deeds will inevitably have an impact on children. Some adults don't listen when interacting with people and talking with children, and children learn their bad behavior invisibly.
