蒙特梭利教學法 Montessori 蔡喬育 語教系副教授 TCCSOL Montessori What is “Montessori?” Montessori is a very well recognized approach for teaching young learners that was not developed specifically for teaching Chinese, or any other foreign language, to children…It is an activity based approach that entices children to want to learn. TCCSOL Montessori https://amshq.org/AboutMontessori/History-of-Montessori Montessori education Focuses on customizing learning for each learner. The learner is seen as an individual with different knowledge, skills, and interests, but with similar developmental periods and tendencies. TCCSOL Montessori Montessori education Every child is supposed to be able to learn individually which does not mean that the child necessarily works on its own…Once the child has received a demonstration and understands how to work with the provided material for a given subject, the teacher leaves the child to work with the material independently. TCCSOL Montessori Montessori Philosophy & Practice Pinyin Offering young children the sound of each letter and use only lower case letters. Learning names of letters and pronunciation of Chinese characters, although taught first for many years, is what makes learning to read and write so difficult for children. TCCSOL Montessori Montessori Philosophy & Practice Pinyin The most important thing to remember is to follow children's interests, and to keep learning natural and enjoyable. TCCSOL Montessori Montessori Philosophy & Practice Vocabulary The experience of real objects should come before pictures or names of these objects whenever possible. For example, if you have a new book with pictures of fruits and vegetables, take the child to the kitchen and handle, smell, cut up, and taste a piece of fruit; then go look at a picture of it, and other fruits, in the book. Then the intelligence is built upon a wealth of experience. TCCSOL Montessori Montessori Philosophy & Practice Vocabulary A child wants to learn the name of every object in his environment, and the meanings of the words he hears others using. He/ She wants so much to be able to communicate about daily life with his/ her family! Give him/ her the names of kitchen objects, toys, food, vehicles, dogs, etc.—anything found in the home and the community. TCCSOL Montessori Montessori Philosophy & Practice Reading & Writing The foundation for a child's spoken language ability is aided by making eye contact as we listen and speak respectfully to his/ her from birth on, by setting a good example in our speech to each other, and by reading aloud to his/ her from an early age. Children's spoken language is the foundation for his/ her later ability in reading and writing. TCCSOL Montessori Montessori Philosophy & Practice Pictures & Books When the child has learned the names of many real objects, we can extend this vocabulary with pictures. Vocabulary books and cards are valuable educational materials for the children at homeand they love them! TCCSOL Montessori Montessori Philosophy & Practice Pictures & Books Library visits are very important, but there should also be favorite books in the child's own library. Sometimes a child in this critical or sensitive period for language will want a book read over and over again. TCCSOL Montessori Montessori Philosophy & Practice Pictures & Books Most children will sit enthralled for hours if we read to them, so this is our chance to pass on the love of literature and of reading, to teach facts, values, and the pronunciation of words, even those not often used in everyday speech. TCCSOL Montessori Montessori Philosophy & Practice Pictures & Books An effort should be made to provide books that show children from all cultures, and that do not stereotype situations and people. The language of the book should show respect for the child, his/ her emotions, and his/ her intelligence.
