Saya telah banyak kali menekankan the importance of expanding your
vocabulary or 'kosa kata'. Antara cara-cara yang anda boleh gunakan untuk mengembangkan vocabulary anda ialah dengan :-

1. Membanyakkan membaca bahan-bahan dalam bahasa Inggeris

cikgutuition

Sebagai ibu bapadan pendidik, kita perlu memberi pujian dengan betul dan berpada-pada.Mungkin anda tertanya-tanya, adakah pujian-pujian yang anda berikankepada anak-anak dan pelajar-pelajar kita itu ada keburukannya? Ya, pujian ada keburukannya   jika tidak digunakan dengan betul.Memang pujian itu merupakan satu cara yang agak berkesan untukmeningkatkan harga diri seseorang tetapi terdapat satu lagi strategiyang lebih berkesan.
   
           Dr. Rudolph Dreikur, seorang pakar psikologi yang terkenal, pernah berkata, 搮seorang kanak-kanak  itu memerlukan galakan seperti pokok perlukan matahari dan air擺/b]. Strategi ini lebih memberikan kesan berpanjangan kepada cara kanak-kanak itu melihat dirinya. Pujian dan galakan itu merupakan strategi yang positif, berkesan dan membawa manfaat jika digunakan.
   
  Kedua-dua teknik ini boleh:
   
  i.       Membina harga diri
  ii.       Meningkatkan rasa bangga
  iii.      Menggalakkan kerjasama
  iv.     Membina perhubungan yang positif
  v.      Membantu kanak-kanak semasa mereka
           menghadapi kesukaran dan masalah
   
  Bagaimanapun, jika anda kaji betul-betul, sebenarnya ada perbezaan yang ketara antara pujian dan galakan. Cuba anda lihat perbezaannya:
   
  1.      Pujian ialah satu ganjaran yang perlu dimenangi:
           揫i]Tahniah Haziq kerana berjaya dapat A dalam ujian semalam!

asssalamualaikum.

terima kasih kerena sudi memberikan ilmu percuma kepada saya khasnya. semoga anda dimurahkan rezeki dariNYA.
saya ada beberapa pertanyaan.
1. anak saya berumur 6tahun. lelaki. saya memang mendedahkannya kepada playhouse disney, barney, teletubbies dsb sejak dia bayi lagi. alhamdullillah sekarang he can speak well. dan kadang kadang saya tak sangka vocabnya baik sekali.
masalahnya sekarang, saya tidak pasti samada dia boleh membaca dengan baik atau tidak.
2. saya ada mengujinya, melalui pembelajaran internet dan buku ladybird, ok. tapi saya rasa dia lebih banyak menghafal, dan cepat terlupa.
3. bagaimana saya mahu mulakan pembelajaran bi untuk anak kedua saya berumur 2 tahun 1/2.
terima kasih.

first time discover this thread...sooooo interesting
I use english with my 2 years old son since he was a baby and my husband uses bahasa.
Alhamdulillah...but my only problem is i'm not consistent
kadang2 tu terguna bahasa gak... especially bila time we do family chit chating...
Saya rasa anak saya pening tang ni la...contohnya masa cakap ngan ayahnya, saya cakap melayu tapi bila nak cakap ngan anak saya twist to english...then talk to ayah back to melayu..What's ur view cikgutuition???
tapi kalau hanya ada kami berdua aje contohnya masa driving atau bathinng time tu...saya takde problem to use 100% english

kalo single parent cemana

BellaDeLaRossa

bagus jgk la teknik CT ni..tq...even ank bella ni dah bole ckp ....tp ada jgk yg salah guna grammarnyer hihi..kdg2 tu tergelak dgr dia ckp..

nashra

good topic..

keep on posting yeah cikgutuition!

nash memang bercakap menggunakan bahasa inggeris and bahasa melayu dgn anak2..

tapi kanak2 ni secara lazim nya mudah nak mengikuti bahasa inggeris dibandingkan dgn bahasa melayu..

rasanya sebab bahasa inggeris ni menggunakan perkataan2 yang mudah berbanding bahasa melayu..

even suku kata bahasa inggeris pun tak sebanyak bahasa melayu kan?

both my son and daughter kalau cakap bahasa melayu pelat habis..tapi kalau guna bahasa inggeris lebih senang derang nak sebut..

mummydhani

nash
u a stay-home mum?

nashra

yup..

i am..

mummydhani

then i suppose it's much easier 4 u sbb the kids spend most o their time wit u... in my case plak, the bb is sent 2 the nursery... caregivers plak org yg ade loghat2 ni, hihi... bunyi loghat la jugak anakku itu... hmmm...

i've seen cases in which the moms cikgu english, tp anak2 x bape nk ckp english... x mau la jd camtu kt my baby... *sigh*

nashra

x jugak..

like my niece and nephew pun duduk kat nursery..

nursery biasa je..makcik tua gitu jaga derang ni..

kat penang..

derang fasih bertutur, membaca, menulis bahasa inggeris..

sekolah pun masuk cam org lain juga..tak de asrama penuh ke mrsm ke..

i think parents derang kot hari2 dok bertutur dlm bahasa inggeris..

so rasanya banyak alternative kan nak ajar anak2 kita..ikut kaedah yang bersesuaian gitu..

tak pe la anak you tau banyak loghat..

i myself pun kelantanese..i cakap kelantanese juga dgn both anak2 i..

my husband org johor..haaaa...rojak!

hehehehe
