Each modern school to study foreign languages.Sometimes, even a few.The most popular are English, although it happens that the main foreign language is French, German or Spanish.But, unfortunately, the real school situation is that, at best, the child will show one language, and one with grief in half, and the second, and say nothing more.
And that actually is a foreign language at school?Imagine a large class, which consists of a completely different motivated children with different rates of assimilation of the material in different ways, and its perception.Even more simple things such conditions often turn into something obscure and plohousvaemoe.And what can we say about foreign languages, for a better mastery of the language that requires constant practice.A study of a foreign language at school, the children in the best case will listen to five-minute recording, and on the language used a hundred years ago.And do not say that "we teach children the classic version of the language."It is, in fact, dead stock of knowledge, which in real life we are not gone.Why do we need to know a foreign language?Communication when traveling abroad, reading original literature - that is, perhaps, the main reason.But today's spoken language, including English, is constantly evolving.And almost all teachers are unlikely to keep up with these innovations.And today's students, as well as fifty years ago, can say their names, how old they are.Well, a couple of common phrases.So, the same thing can be learned at home with any unpretentious course for a couple of hours.And why would learn a foreign language at school, if it is easy to learn and can be at home?Even if you touch the vocabulary here or he must be really big to easily read, or the minimum to just copy all the text in the translation software and familiarize yourself with a good translation.The first option requires constant practice, not a transfer of at least primitive primitive texts abound infrequent, in fact, obsolete words.But in the new textbooks lot of pictures that apparently intended to attract children's attention to the study of the subject.Probably for the same purpose in many classes put up posters with photographs.But learning a foreign language in school at all then it will be based on recognition of images.The best thing that could make school - is to ensure at least weekly communication with students living native speakers.
Still, it is no secret that many qualified foreign language teachers is poor.Many of them are unlikely to have the practice of communication.But even if the level of knowledge is all right, as much as possible in a class of twenty or more people apply for two lessons a week to submit material, interviews, and even to explain something.For children, of course, easy to learn new information, but only one that is attractive and interesting.And to interest incomprehensible set of letters, and definitely requires more high pedagogical talent.
Some advanced schools have already begun to practice learning a foreign language in primary school.This is a big step forward.Although, here, of course, the sooner, the better.At this age, children with proper approach can own anything, even difficult foreign languages is almost on a par with his family.It would be logical not to start learning a foreign language at school, and attend to this as early as kindergarten.But it needs as a constant practice, and individual training program.
In fact, ideally, of course, each student would be good to teach the language individually.And not in the manner of a teacher, and carefully analyzing the ways the data assimilation of information a child.Here and variant perception (audial, visual, kinistetik) and memory type and speed of memory and many other factors.This would seem obvious, but grouped into small groups of 5-7 people with similar characteristics and to teach them the language thus guessed only a few elite institutions.Or even a grouping of the level of knowledge and skills.Unfortunately, in our schools do not even always equal to the average student, and the weak, that is,motivate children do not reach the leader and raskhlyabyvatsya, because this level is considered to be acceptable.And so it remains the level of foreign language at negligible low.
