Mariko Shimizu<\/strong>, a licensed elementary, middle, and high school English teacher with over 30 years of experience teaching English to children and writing for a variety of media, talked about how to incorporate English at home and at play.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img1.png 400w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img1-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img1-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6>English education doesn&#8217;t need to be rushed.<\/h6>\n<p>\u3000Have you ever thought, &#8220;I wish I could speak English, too,&#8221; when you meet someone who speaks English or go to visit someone overseas? In recent years, we have become an increasingly global society, and many families want their children to learn English from an early age because they believe that using English is now essential.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000The first thing I would like to say is that there is no need to panic so much.<br \/>\nFor children, learning English should be considered an extension of play and a fun way to communicate. <br \/>\nThe important thing is not to make the child dislike English at an early age, and for the child to enjoy using English himself.<br \/>\nIn addition, since around 2000, more and more children have been attending international preschools, which provide English-language childcare for preschoolers, and international schools, which provide English-language education for elementary school students and above. <br \/>\nWhile there are educational benefits of diversity, there are also cases where children spend less time learning Japanese during the school years, and even in the 6th grade they may not be able to write their own names in kanji, or when parents speak to their children in Japanese, their replies may be in English. I&#8217;m sure you have various ideas, but my subjective view is that it would be fine to communicate mainly through play to familiarize yourself with English until the early elementary school years or so, and then at least learn English from there.<\/p>\n<h6>Let them get used to English by ear!<\/h6>\n<p>\u3000It is said that exposure to English by &#8220;ear&#8221; at an early age affects the speed of learning English from elementary school onward. (*1). Therefore, even if you are not good at English, it is okay to try to use simple words and phrases in everyday situations, even if you are not good at English. Let your child see scenes where mom and dad are using English in a fun way.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000For example, when you go out with your child, you might say, &#8220;Are you ready?&#8221; When you are going out with your child, for example, you may say, &#8220;Are you ready? In such cases, you might say &#8220;Are you ready? or &#8220;Let&#8217;s Go! to give them a chance to catch the phrase by ear.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000When you wake up in the morning, you say &#8220;Good morning! Good night!&#8221; when they go to bed at night, &#8220;one, two, three, four&#8230;&#8221; when they wash their toes in the bath, and &#8220;Wash, Wash, Wash! Wash, Wash, Wash!&#8221; and so on in rhythm. Just by using simple phrases, you can feel the fun of English.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000It is a good idea for moms and dads to enjoy the time they spend with their children and actively try to use simple phrases.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img2-500x333.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img2-500x333.png 500w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img2-200x133.png 200w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img2.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u3000On the other hand, refrain from asking the child to see if he or she has learned or can do it.<br \/>\nIt feels like a kind of test for children, and they end up hating English.<br \/>\nCommunication that praises when they remember and discourages when they don&#8217;t is a mindset that tries to meet parental expectations, and the fun disappears.<br \/>\nIdeally, communication should be like a child teaching his\/her father, for example. <br \/>Dad asks, &#8220;Hey, what&#8217;s watermelon called? the child replies, &#8220;It&#8217;s watermelon! It is important for the father to set up a conversation like this and get the hang of enjoying communication.<\/p>\n<h5>Let&#8217;s play in English with Dad!<\/h5>\n<p>\u3000Next, let us introduce you to the English you will be exposed to while playing. <br \/>\nAgain, the emphasis is not on learning conversational English, but on &#8220;hearing&#8221; the words and phrases, and never in a rigid &#8220;study&#8221; atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img3.png 300w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img3-200x267.png 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6>Adopt a moniker.<\/h6>\n<p>\u3000For example, try incorporating English into imitation games, such as a father imitating an airplane and putting his child on his back while saying &#8220;Airplane,&#8221; or imitating a driver and pretending to be a vehicle, such as a cab or bus.<br \/>\nYou can also play with English by simply saying &#8220;Higher and higher! <br \/>\nIn this way, you can add an element of English to your physical activities.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img4.png 300w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img4-200x267.png 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u3000Also, a day at the zoo is a good opportunity to use English words!<\/p>\n<p>\u3000When we get home, Dad will say, &#8220;I want to be an elephant! I&#8217;m a hippo! Children can also say the name of their favorite animal in English when they request their dad to imitate them. <br \/>Also, gesture to the gorilla&#8217;s walk, for example, &#8220;What animal? Yes, it&#8217;s a gorilla.&#8221; (What animal? Yes, it&#8217;s a gorilla. Yes, it&#8217;s a gorilla!) (What animal? Yes, it&#8217;s a gorilla.) You can also use a quiz-style exchange like this.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000Since this is English communication that can be done after a visit to the zoo, they will learn many animal names through &#8220;experience&#8221; and &#8220;memory&#8221;. <br \/>\nAs they repeat this kind of English play, the &#8220;iwonabee&#8221; sound of &#8220;I want to be&#8230;&#8221; (~ want to be) will remain in their ears.<br \/>\nEven if you do not intend to learn, you can naturally learn the unique rhythm of English through communication between parents and children while using your body.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"299\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img6.png 400w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img6-200x150.png 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u3000The sole purpose is communication and play. <br \/>\nWhat you should not do is try to force them to learn it or force them to pronounce it correctly.<br \/>\nIt is a good idea to let young children experience the rhythm and sounds, so that they feel like they can say them before they know it. <br \/>\nRecently, there are facilities such as TOKYO GLOBAL GATEWAY that are designed for the use of English. <br \/>\nOne way to play is to go to such places and create opportunities for exposure to English.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gray_border\">\n<h6>What is TOKYO GLOBAL GATEWAY?<\/h6>\n<p>\u3000A completely new type of hands-on English learning facility operated by TOKYO GLOBAL GATEWAY Inc. under the policy of the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education, in collaboration with the public and private sectors. <br \/>\nAway from everyday life, visitors can fully experience the global world in a different environment in a cityscape designed to look like a foreign country.<br \/>\nIn addition to school-based use by elementary, middle, and high school students, a wide variety of programs are available for individual applicants, from young children to adults.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/tokyo-global-gateway.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/tokyo-global-gateway.com\/<\/a> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"267\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img5.jpg 800w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img5-200x67.jpg 200w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img5-500x167.jpg 500w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27_img5-768x256.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>\u30001 See references below.  <br \/>\nJ.
