培竹计划·家长工作坊: 

 提升孩子英语,赢在起跑线





近期,我校组织了一次主题为“提升孩子英语,赢在起跑线”的家长工作坊,旨在帮助家长掌握在家助力学生提高英语成绩的有效方法,为家长们提供了实用的指导,让他们深刻理解了英语学习的重要性以及如何在家中营造良好的学习氛围。







活动在热烈的氛围中拉开序幕,DP高中的两位负责人率先为我们带来了精彩的分享。他们详细阐述了英语学习的阶段性特点,从小学阶段的启蒙,到初中阶段的逐步深入,再到高中阶段的全面提升,每一步都至关重要。他们强调,家长的支持和引导是学生英语学习道路上不可或缺的力量,只有家校携手,才能共同助力学生顺利步入大学殿堂。


学习英语并不是一件枯燥无味的事情。相反,它可以很有趣。家长可以通过看英文电影、听英文歌曲、玩英文游戏等方式,让孩子在轻松愉快的氛围中学习英语。这样,孩子不仅能够学到知识,还能提高他们的学习兴趣。



其次,我们要鼓励孩子多说英语。在家里,家长们可以和孩子用英语进行简单的对话,比如问候、介绍自己、描述天气等。这样,孩子就能够在实际的语言环境中练习英语,提高他们的口语能力。


再次,我们要注意培养孩子的阅读习惯。家长们可以为孩子准备一些英文书籍,让他们在日常生活中阅读。这样,孩子不仅能够扩大词汇量,还能提高阅读理解能力。


最后,我们要尊重孩子的学习进度。每个孩子的学习能力和速度都是不同的,我们不能强求他们在短时间内就能掌握大量的英语知识。我们需要有足够的耐心,陪伴他们一起慢慢进步。


总的来说,作为父母,我们需要做的就是创造一个良好的学习环境,激发孩子的学习兴趣,引导他们正确的学习方法。帮助孩子:


✔ 坚持始终如一地练习

✔ 使用各种资源

✔ 营造一个支持性的环境

✔ 利用技术

✔ 参与学习

✔ 关注进展

✔ 与老师联系

 

只有这样,我们才能真正帮助孩子学习好英语。



随后,DP 12年级的两位学姐,朴同学和孙同学以亲身经历为例,为我们揭示了学业成功背后的秘诀。她们坦言,英语学习并非一蹴而就的过程,而是需要持之以恒的努力和正确的学习方法。同时,她们也分享了自己在家庭环境中得到的支持和鼓励,她们的经历如同一面镜子,映照出家庭关爱与支持的力量,激励着每一位家长思考如何成为孩子最坚强的后盾。



活动的高潮部分,由IB DP英语老师Keola引领的互动环节将理论转化为实践,让家长亲身体验英语学习的乐趣与挑战


通过精心设计的小课堂活动,家长们不仅感受到了英语的魅力,更是学会了如何在家中创造积极向上的学习氛围,比如定期举行家庭读书夜、共同观看英语原声电影等,这些看似简单的活动实则能显著提升孩子的英语听说能力。在这个过程中,家长们不仅加深了对英语学习的理解,还学会了如何在家中创造一个有利于孩子英语学习的环境。



如何在家支持孩子的英语学习?

具体有哪些的有效策略?

●日常习惯:每天进行简短、引人入胜的活动,养成习惯。

●表扬努力:庆祝进步,培养积极的学习体验。
●鼓励探索:通过阅读、媒体和对话来推广英语。
●设定一个英语常规:共同指定具体的英语练习时间。
●给家居用品贴标签:在家里用英语标签来强化词汇量。
●使用英语媒体:观看节目、听音乐和应用程序。
●“纯英语”家庭时间:有专门的时间用英语交谈。
●玩文字游戏:参与拼字游戏或Boggle等游戏。



Maggie校长为本次工作坊画上了完美的句号。她深情地指出,每个孩子都有自己的花期和成长轨迹,他们的爱好和兴趣各不相同,因此走向成功的方式也必然各异。


作为家长,我们需要做的是通过细致的观察,发现并支持孩子的成长需求,为他们提供一个有力的学习环境。同时,还要注重培养孩子的自学能力和特长,让他们在学业上取得更大的成功。



此次家长工作坊不仅是一次知识的传递,更是一次心灵的触动。它让我们深刻认识到,家庭教育的力量是无穷的,只要我们用心去做,就能为孩子铺设一条通往成功的康庄大道。未来,我们将继续携手家长,共同探索更多科学有效的教育方法,为孩子们的成长保驾护航。

Parent Workshop:

 Language Development in IB Success, Supporting Your Child’s English Journey




Recently, our school organized a parent workshop themed "Language Development in IB Success, Supporting Your Child’s English Journey," aimed at helping parents master effective methods to support their children in improving their English skills at home. The workshop provided practical guidance, allowing parents to deeply understand the importance of English learning and how to create a positive learning atmosphere at home.



The event kicked off in a lively atmosphere, with two coordinators from the DP sharing their insights. They elaborated on the stages of English learning, from the initial exposure in elementary school to the gradual deepening in middle school, and finally to the comprehensive enhancement in high school. Each step is crucial. They emphasized that parental support and guidance are indispensable forces in a student’s English learning journey. Only through collaboration between parents and schools can we effectively assist students in successfully transitioning to university.

We need to understand that learning English doesn’t have to be a dull task. On the contrary, it can be enjoyable. Parents can help their children learn English in a relaxed and fun way by watching English movies, listening to English songs, or English games. This way, children can not only gain knowledge but also enhance their interest in learning.

Additionally, we should encourage children to speak more English. At home, parents can engage in simple conversations with our children in English, such as greetings, self-introductions, or describing the weather. This allows children to practice English in a real language environment, improving their speaking skills.

Moreover, we should focus on developing children’s reading habits. Parents can provide them with some English books to read in their daily lives. This will not only expand their vocabulary but also improve their reading comprehension skills.

Finally, we need to respect each child's learning pace. Every child has different abilities and speeds, and we cannot expect them to master a lot of English knowledge in a short time. We need to be patient and accompany them as they make gradual progress.

In summary, as parents, our role is to create a good learning environment, spark children’s interest in learning, and guide them in the right study methods. Help children:
✔ Practice consistently
✔ Use varied resources
✔ Create a supportive environment
✔ Leverage technology
✔ Participate in learning
✔ Focus on progress
✔ Connect with teachers

Only then can we truly help our children excel in English.

Following this, two senior students from DP12,Kate and Vicky shared their personal experiences, revealing the secrets behind academic success. They candidly stated that learning English is not an overnight process; it requires persistent effort and the right learning methods. They also shared the support and encouragement they received from their families, reflecting the power of familial love and support, inspiring every parent to think about how to become their child’s strongest ally.

The climax of the event was an interactive session led by IB DP English teacher Keola, which turned theory into practice, allowing parents to experience the joys and challenges of learning English firsthand. 

Through carefully designed mini-class activities, parents not only felt the charm of English but also learned how to create a positive learning atmosphere at home, such as holding regular family reading nights or watching English movies together. These seemingly simple activities can significantly enhance children’s English listening and speaking skills. In this process, parents deepened their understanding of English learning and learned how to create a conducive environment for their children’s English studies at home.

Supporting Your Child’s English Journey
●Daily Routine: Short, engaging activities each day to build consistency.
●Praise Efforts: Celebrate progress to foster a positive learning experience.
●Encourage Exploration: Promote English through reading, media, and conversation.
●Set an English Routine: Designate specific times for English practice together.
●Label Household Items: Use English labels around the home for vocabulary reinforcement.
●Use English Media: Watch shows, listen to music, and utilize learning apps.
●"English-Only" Family Time: Have dedicated times for conversations in English.
●Play Word Games: Engage in games like Scrabble or Boggle for fun practice.

Principal Maggie concluded the workshop perfectly. She pointed out that every child has their own blooming period and growth trajectory, with different interests and hobbies, so the paths to success will inevitably vary. As parents, we need to observe closely, discover, and support our children's growth needs, providing them with a strong learning environment. We should also focus on cultivating their self-learning abilities and strengths, enabling them to achieve greater academic success.

This parent workshop was not just a transfer of knowledge but also a heartfelt experience. It made us realize that the power of family education is immense; as long as we put in the effort, we can pave a wide road to success for our children. In the future, we will continue to work hand in hand with parents to explore more scientific and effective educational methods, safeguarding our children’s growth.
