How Do You Teach English To Russian Children?
Russian and English are two languages that have more differences than similarities. Some of these differences will be difficult for a child of either country to grasp. Thus, when it comes to teaching children a foreign language, you must go slow, demonstrate or act out all every concept before you write it on the blackboard, and use pictures extensively. Teach the alphabet slowly. The English alphabet and the Russian alphabet have some similar letters. Some of these letters look the same and sound the same. Some of these letters look the same and sound completely different. For example, the English “y” makes an “oo” sound in Russian. Use bright pictures when teaching the alphabet. For every letter you teach, have a picture of a word that begins with that letter. For example, for the letter “b” you can show the students pictures of balloons, boats, or bananas. Make sure that the English spelling is printed underneath the picture. Start with greetings. Teach the children “hello” and “hi”
