Start as early as possible when it comes to teaching your child English. Regardless of your child’s age, as soon as they can speak and follow instructions, they are strongly capable of learning and more interactive and effective in acquiring the English language. Many parents take advantage of their child’s young age to introduce a new language, like English, to avoid missing what is called the “critical period”—the stage when a child’s development is at a peak. This doesn’t mean that older children cannot learn, but the critical period makes learning more effective and less distracting. Therefore, it is recommended to start teaching English at an early age.
Take advantage of technology:
Look for English stories, programs, and activities, and use your child’s time on smart devices to play games that strengthen their English learning.
Teach the basics and fundamentals:
Get your child accustomed to listening to English and noticing the differences in sounds. You can teach simple things like numbers, colors, animal names, and so on. You can also play simple English songs with easy words or English cartoons that support learning.
Seek professional help:
You cannot fully ensure that your child has mastered English without the expertise of a professional teacher and a trusted institute. One of the well-known and leading institutes for this purpose is Pro English in Abu Dhabi.
