This involves reading, translating texts, writing down grammar rules and doing grammar exercises, memorizing various topics and dialogues etc. We all know that this does not help children learn and speak English well, even after 10 years of classes at school. Of course, we all want better results for our kids. But this paradigm overrides everything else. Not everyone realizes that there is a different, better way to learn how to speak a foreign language.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cWhat will they be able to understand if the native speaker only speaks in English?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThey don\u2019t speak a word of English! How can my child learn anything?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u201dMy child comes home and can\u2019t even tell me what they learned!\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We hear many similar comments. Nevertheless, scientific research proves that the most efficient way for children, especially the younger ones, to learn English is to be immersed into an English-speaking environment. And no one can do that better than a native speaker.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, a native speaker cannot address the kids in their mother tongue because they simply don\u2019t speak it.<\/li>\n<li>Second, the child understands that the teacher cannot switch to their mother tongue, and as a result will be more attentive during the lessons.<\/li>\n<li>Third, the child\u2019s cognitive processes, such as memory, attention and imagination, will be activated to the highest extent during a lesson with a native speaker, since they will need to try to understand what is being said, memorize words and try to respond.<\/li>\n<li>Fourth, communication with a native speaker is a lot easier because there are no distractions, all of their brain resources are concentrated on understanding the teacher; on the other hand, the teacher also understands that there is no other way to convey the necessary information to the child other than in English, so they will try to involve their body language, gestures and facial expressions in this process.<\/li>\n<li>Fifth, after conducting a survey with kids who studied with both a native speaker and a teacher who spoke their language, it turned out that most kids say that native speakers provide better, clearer explanations and the lessons are much more (wait for it) \u2026 fun! Because there is no unnecessary information, everything is to the point, all the instructions are clear and teachers use very simple phrases and words.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So here you go.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogImgText\" id=\"blogImgText-block_62bd204326ae1\">\n    <div class=\"blogImgText__wrapper\">\n                <div class=\"blogImgText__image\">\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1737558560-scaled-1.webp\" class=\"glightbox\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1737558560-scaled-1.webp\" alt=\"Girl speaking with native speaker over a computer\" class=\"blogImgText__imageItem\">\n                <div class=\"glightbox__zoom\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/novakid\/public\/img\/icons\/search.svg\" alt=\"Zoom icon\" class=\"style-svg\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"blogImgText__heading\">\n            <h2 class=\"blogImgText__headingItem\" data-blog-heading data-section-id=\"blogImgText-block_62bd204326ae1\">\n                Then why can\u2019t my child explain what they did during their lesson?            <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogImgText__content\">\n            <p>The answer is simple. Children can\u2019t find the right words for it in their mother tongue. They have been listening to English speech during the entire lesson and trying to make sense of it without translating it into their native language. After the lesson, they are no longer in the environment that requires them to think, listen and talk in English, so their brain switched back to their mother tongue. It\u2019s like asking adults what they did at work. It\u2019s simple \u2013 they worked! That\u2019s what your child was doing as well.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogHeadingText\" id=\"blogHeadingText-block_62bd20d026ae2\">\n    <div class=\"blogHeadingText__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__heading\">\n            <h2 class=\"blogHeadingText__headingItem\" data-blog-heading data-section-id=\"blogHeadingText-block_62bd20d026ae2\">\n                Features of the immersion method            <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__content\">\n            <p>Children can\u2019t tell you what exactly they learned because they don\u2019t learn separate elements of the language system with a native speaker (like words, for example), they learn the whole system altogether and \u201cabsorb\u201d its indivisible laws and rules. At first glance, it might seem that this is a lot more difficult than learning words and grammar rules in order to formulate a sentence. But these are four steps that need to happen in a brain of\u2026 a child! This is something that not even all adults can do. So that\u2019s why if you immerse your child in the English-speaking environment, they will struggle only at first. Soon, their brain will adapt.<\/p>\n<p>Try to remember how kids learn to play. They don\u2019t read the rules to each game, they just watch others and repeat after them. They use the same principle when learning English. Of course, they need some time for observation before they can repeat after someone, so don\u2019t make any hasty conclusions when your child doesn\u2019t understand everything in their very first lesson.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogHeadingText\" id=\"blogHeadingText-block_62bd20e726ae3\">\n    <div class=\"blogHeadingText__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__heading\">\n            <h2 class=\"blogHeadingText__headingItem\" data-blog-heading data-section-id=\"blogHeadingText-block_62bd20e726ae3\">\n                How does a native teacher connect with the children?            <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__content\">\n            <p>The most important thing is to pass the psychological barrier and create a friendly positive environment for all the children. That is why the teacher\u2019s friendly face, sincere smile and a sparkle in their eyes matter.<\/p>\n<p>Some kids are very shy, that\u2019s why teachers often use a helper, such as a doll or a puppet that repeats everything after the teacher and conveys it to the child. It is much easier to make the children feel more comfortable and open up.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogImage\" id=\"blogImage-block_62bd210426ae4\">\n    <div class=\"blogImage__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogImage__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1736344358-scaled-1.webp\" class=\"glightbox\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1736344358-scaled-1.webp\" alt=\"Girl learning numbers with a native speaker\" class=\"blogImage__imageItem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1736344358-scaled-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1736344358-scaled-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1736344358-scaled-1.webp 1024w\" >\n                <div class=\"glightbox__zoom\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/novakid\/public\/img\/icons\/search.svg\" alt=\"Zoom icon\" class=\"style-svg\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogText\" id=\"blogText-block_62bd214826ae6\">\n    <div class=\"blogText__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"blogText__content\">\n            <p>Another important process is understanding the phrases that are often used during the lesson. Usually, these are phrases or words like \u201dlisten\u201d, \u201csay\u201d, \u201crepeat\u201d etc. These phrases are repeated in every lesson and kids usually remember them quite quickly. But the first time the teacher uses these phrases, they help children understand them by following them up with body language, gestures and facial expressions. It helps kids to easily understand and remember them.<\/p>\n<p>Gestures and facial expressions are also used to evaluate kids\u2019 work. Such phrases as \u201cGood job\u201d, \u201dsuper\u201d, \u201cgreat\u201d, and \u201cexcellent\u201d are easily associated with something pleasant if delivered with the right tone of voice, facial expressions and gestures, a thumbs up, for example.<\/p>\n<p>Praising kids for their success is an integral part of connecting with them. Children cannot evaluate their own actions, so the teacher\u2019s reaction encourages and inspires them to continue learning the language.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogHeadingText\" id=\"blogHeadingText-block_62bd215026ae7\">\n    <div class=\"blogHeadingText__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__heading\">\n            <h2 class=\"blogHeadingText__headingItem\" data-blog-heading data-section-id=\"blogHeadingText-block_62bd215026ae7\">\n                A final word            <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__content\">\n            <p>A native speaker teaches English the same way you taught your child their mother tongue. It means that it happens naturally, but at a slightly slower pace. This ensures that the child has an appropriate knowledge base \u2013 speech comes first, then the ability to understand, hear and talk with the teacher, and then the rest. This approach makes further attempts to learn reading and writing a lot easier.
