II. Children’s physiological and psychological characteristics and English learning
Many psychologists do think that a lot of children get to their best stage of learning when their age are from 3 to 5 years old: once their age are beyond the 6 years old, their ability of learning will have a declining tendency (Zhao and Wang 2002:246). When they reach the age between10 and 12 years old, they reach the linguistic puberty. At this important stage, if a child hasn’t formed the ability of speaking, it is nearly impossible for the child to obtain a language, which is known in many case of wolf – children in foreign countries (Zhao and Wang, 2002:248). When children are in the stage of linguistic puberty, their brain begins to be mature. Once their mother tongue learning has formed, their language of personal character also begins to take shapes. It is just accompanied by native community awareness that their personal awareness begins. Based on these points, we can see that physiological and psychological factors have great advantages for the children to learn another language systematically. 少儿英语课堂教学特征探析(2):http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_27917.html
