2。2 The earlier studies on oral English teaching

   According to the research on neuropsychology, children have high potential。 On the one hand, children at 0-6 years old, is a critical period in language development。 If children can be educated with language and have abundant stimulation that has good  benefits to them, they will develop better。 On the other hand, if we do not make good use of critical language period, even giving a lot of stimulation is also difficult to make language ability full play。 It is indicated by a physiological mechanism research that the best time to learn oral English is 4 to 10 years old。 Besides another research has found that peeling part of brain will lead to permanent damage on brain after 10 years old, who will have aphasia, an impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write。 But before 10 years old, the brain which was peeled could be recovered。 Therefore, the brain’s plasticity is essential for children to have an oral English course in kindergartens。 Studies have shown that early oral English teaching can make children’s language learning ability  strong, so it is easier to learn other languages more effectively。 One Canadian Professor Lambert (w。 Amber) compared bilingual children and monolingual children in English acquisition, he found that bilingual children are easy to acquire other English, especially the pronunciation and intonation。 The second is to enhance verbal communication sensitivity。 As a result, bilingual children in activities must be based on different communication scenarios。
