Is it necessary for primary school students to learn new concept English, Zhihu?
Because the new concept is mainly grammar, there is no need to learn that deep grammar in primary school. In the future, the real score gap is not in grammar, but in vocabulary, reading ability, writing ability and listening ability.
So that is to say, the accumulation of English itself is the focus of widening the gap, because these can not be caught up in a day or two. But grammar can be improved in a short time by brushing more questions and memorizing more.
Let's not talk about new concepts, but only the "third order" they learned in class. In our opinion, three orders are very simple. Take my son for example, he can finish reading an English book with 20,000 words in two hours. When doing the questions, ten questions are basically wrong, so he can't understand the knowledge about "third order" at this level of English.
It's just that he doesn't quite understand the singular third person. He can understand the rules and add "s" before singular third-person verbs, but he can't tell which ones are singular and which ones are verbs. He will confuse the repetition of verbs and nouns with "s".
With such simple grammar rules, children will be confused, difficult to understand, or make mistakes repeatedly. He can remember the rules, but there are still problems when recognizing them.
So at this time, if he is asked to learn grammar such as past tense and perfect tense, he will be very dizzy. He may be better at brushing and doing problems, but it will still be more difficult to understand.
In fact, these things will be learned in junior high school. We don't need to take up children's primary school time to encourage them. Then the teacher in class is very good at the exam-taking system, so we just have to follow the teacher in class.
What do we learn in English after class? Our family takes the original route, teaching foreign teachers after class, following the original system, and then reading a lot. These things may not have much impact on his current score, and now everyone's scores are not much different.
But the advantage is that, first of all, he doesn't have to memorize words specially. He has a large vocabulary, so he doesn't have to recite things in class repeatedly. It takes little time to learn English in our class.
In this case, although there is not a big gap with everyone's scores at present, in the future, his listening, writing and reading skills will not catch up with others overnight. These are the accumulations that we have spent a long time doing.
