So the present study is to discuss how to blend the English nursery song in class, and when apply to them. 2. Literature review2.1 Exploring problemsAs a foreign language, it is very im

13、portant that is a tool of the communication and information exchanged. In English teaching, we should study English as a language, and make it become the students language. In primary school, pupils are lively and active by nature, and they do not have long-time concentrating of the attention, and l

14、ack of control themselves. However, pupils ability of imitation is strong, they are good at singing and dancing. Because of the pupils depend on the interest to learn. Therefore, English teaching can combine the English children song, because it can make class more wonderful and interesting. Psychol

15、ogical research has shown that it is a critical period of child access to language of the primary stage. Science education should be consistent with the characteristics and patterns of physical and mental development of the pupils.2.1.1 The problem of interestIt is known to all that interest is the

16、best a teacher, and the interest which can arouse the students motivation to learn, enhance the learning of students who are interested in driving force, and accept to new things actively. Singing English songs can stimulate students interest in learning, and ultimately promote to language learning

17、in the classroom. But if we use improper teaching methods, it could cause the “magic” into “insipid”. Teachers should constantly try to inspire their interest by using different, such as props, pictures, and moments. 2.1.2 Psychological characteristics of pupilsPupils are very young that their livel

18、y and have limited time of the attention. They often vivid animation and dislike rote and sentence structure. Therefore, in English teaching, we should be appropriate for the pupils to listen and sing English songs to eliminate fatigue, active learning atmosphere enhanced the strength of the pupils,

19、 and emotional level.For a child, the English childrens song is one of the effective ways to learn English. If you want to them are interested in your English class，you must use of the English childrens song is necessary. In this process, you use of English songs mainly attract and increase children

20、s attention, and let them participate actively learning. In teaching, the teacher can teach English songs or childrens songs, in order to the classroom become lively and enjoyable, relaxed and harmonious atmosphere of language. Although teacher are not the only focus of songs as a teaching, but it c

21、annot be denied that, “the childrens English teaching, childrens songs plays a very important role” in classroom.2.2 Why should we use English childrens songs?For pupils: pupils perception is the process from immaturity to maturity, their perception from the intention to the emotional, and purpose o

22、f development. In primary school English classroom, the pupils still in the accumulation stage of a word, but they are also a beginner, and lack of sufficient learning experience. In primary school, pupils like moving by natural, and they love singing and dancing. The pupils do not concentrate for a

23、 long-time, and lock of control themselves. Pupils will lose the interest of study when they meet some problems that it is boring. However, the interest is the best a teacher, so pupils mainly decided by the interest of their study. Childrens songs: the childrens songs are child ballads that it is p

24、assed on and sung by children and most of them understand psychological features of young children. The childrens songs are written with simple rhyme sure that they sound pleasant and clear. In primary school, the teacher made up some English songs by themselves to teach children in the class. Becau

25、se the content of English childrens songs is enriched, language simple, and the rhythm is quick. The English childrens songs combined with the rhythm of the words dynamic, it has characteristics of chanting.2.2.1 Requirements of the new syllabus and curriculum standardsChildrens English teaching is

26、an education of enlightenment in the second language. Whether certain the target of education or choice the model of education, teacher should basic the childrens physiology or mental to develop childrens interest of studying and feeling for words. English childrens songs can develop childrens abili

27、ty of communication. 2.2.2 The basic language needs of pupilsIn primary English classroom, the teacher should be creating a pleasant environment and design of interesting activities in teaching. This purpose is to attract children, so that they learn English in a pleasant atmosphere. Such as the tea

28、chers use of English childrens songs that it is appropriate in the classroom, it can help improve the abilities of students imitate to the word pronunciation, and vocabulary memorization. It was easier to resolve the mastery of new the sentence structure, and can add burdens to student learning. Lik

29、e this sentence “Do you like doing something?” When we ask to the students to repeat a song, then the students will always remember to this sentence structure.2.3 Characteristics of English childrens songsFor English teaching in primary schools, childrens song play an indispensable role in primary s

30、chools. Easy to pronounce for children, that they learn more faster and well, this is because the nursery rhyme simple languages, vivid concrete may feel and melody natural harmony2.3.1 Simple languagesThe words used in English songs are mainly made up of simple words such as: the noun (animals, pla

31、nts, food, daily necessities, means of transport, etc), the verb (walking, running, jumping, climbing, etc), and adjectives (color, shape, size, etc.), and these words can reflect the things that they are more specific, and they are suitable for the characteristics of childrens things. In the same t

32、ime, English songs are written with simple and easy sentence, which are easy to learn and remember. So it is easy for children to learn English. 2.3.2 Interesting imitatingEnglish childrens songs are focused on the sense of form feels, color feels, action feels, imitate the voice can arouse the sens

33、e of hearing, and it is designed to attract their attraction and imagination. Such as the song of the Animals:Cat，cat，cat，mlaomiaomiaoDog，dog，dog，wangwangwangDuck，duck，duck，gagagaPig，pig，pig，lululuThese voices in the childrens songs: “miaomiaomiao”、“gagaga”、“wangwangwang”、“lululu”, they can arouse t

34、o students emotions and interest.2.3.3 The rhyme of sound is naturalChildrens songs have delightful tones and distinctive rhythm, which can arouse a pleasant feeling in the students. Such as childrens songs: Nod your head, yes, yes, yesShake your head, no, no, noRaise your hand, one two threePut you

35、r head down！Look at me！The syllables are short, and they are easy to learn and remember. The children can quickly remember. At the same time, the childrens songs combine with the rhythm to do the action, and it will bring a sense of fun in the works. 2.4 Role of English childrens songs in primary En

36、glish teachingThe primary education is basic education, and it is the key ways to cultivating talent. However, English learning is a non-native language learning for us, so we would be interested in English for the first time, but the interest is not always there. If a teacher has been using traditi

37、onal methods to teach in the classroom, in that way, the pupils will have bored sooner or latter, in particular, when the pupils learned knowledge, they would be easy to fatigue. So it is very important that to stimulate students interest in learning. Therefore, in primary school, using English song

38、s to teach not only can make a boring word to add the rhythm of drums hammer, but also the sentence to plug in the rhythm of wing. Add rhythm of the drum hammerThe use of English childrens songs is for the purpose of developing rich rhythm and cultural atmosphere, and to develop students interest in

39、 learning. For example, when teaching digital 110, because it is very abstract, pupils have some difficulties when they learned. So we can make use of childrens songs in teaching, and finding out the law of numbers. To 20 different words one after the other, said separately. Add teen to a dozen, thi

40、rteen, fifteen watching carefully. Eighteen only one t, read two syllables clear. 20 to 90 plus, twenty after have different key words. Remove forty letters unthrifty, fifty more surprising. Single digits after the ten-digit number; represent the numeric value of a dozen. And the use of clever memor

41、y, hundred is your good results. Through such an approach to digital, in order to students easy to pronounce, easy recording, enhanced their memories. Another example is the songs with numbers:One , two, how do you do?Three, four, open the door.Five , six, pick up sticks.Seven, eight, close the gate

42、.Nine, ten, stop my pen.2.4.2 Wing for the sentenceThe primary English teaching material contain diversified content. One of the cause of difficulty of teaching is the scope is vast. If we take some easily confused or not easily remember with a short sentence to receive into childrens songs, we can

43、gain good result. Take an example, “Where does it live?” When we meet, we can write as this sentence, so a song: “Where does a fish live? In a river. Where does a panda live? In a forest.” Through songs full of rhythm, coupled with appropriate actions, we can enhance their knowledge of the sentence

44、markedly.2.5 Elementary school students are facing some problemsEnglish is the second language for us, and pupils have formed more full of Chinese pronunciation system in learning English, and it has a large differences of English and Chinese pronunciation. It will be a serious influence of Chinese

45、pronunciation, when pupils learned the English pronounce. So some pupils often appear to some pronounce problem. Because pupils are very interested in objective things in the learning process, but easy to fatigue for knowledge, so also easy to appears to the problem of memory.2.5.1 The problems of p

46、ronunciation Pronunciation is a problem when students read words loudly. It is always not standard. Like the vowels sound into a snap-in, they are also frequently occurs when reading word and audio-visual phenomenon. Low-grade students may be confused the English letter and Chinese letter. For examp

47、le, they usual read the letter “A-ei”to “a”.The problems of memoryThe comprehension of primary school students is relatively weak. Generally, some students are mainly mechanical memory, but the mechanical memory word is very boring. With the deepening of English study, and the increase of the number

48、 of words, mechanically memorizing words would be very easy to play down the students interest in learning English, especially primary school students. Such results will continue to decline even some students give up learning English.2.6 How to introduce childrens songs to classIf you want to have a

49、 good lesson, the most important is the beginning with class. How you begin, it will affect to the process of your lesson. In the beginning of a Lesson, because pupils have been in State of play, so teacher must make them to move to learn from State of play. Because of childrens songs have a very go

50、od orientation, so in the beginning of a lesson, teacher should be used childrens songs. Such as a English childrens song “stand up”Stand up! Stand up!Stand-up!Sit down! Sit down!Sit-down! Teachers can use it to remind the pupils are ready to begin class. In the lesson to the middle of the time, mos

51、t students will feel tired and not very actively, so the appropriate applications of childrens songs can improve the efficiency of the classroom, when teacher attended class.2.6.1 Pre-class childrens songsBefore classes introducing pupils songs can import new class effectively. First when you will i

52、nstruct of new content, new words and sentence structure, you are previously learned the rhythm of singing out, to turn students attention from the play and other subjects. Like guessing the words of songs: “whats this? Whats this? guess，guess，guessPen，PenThis is a pen.” This song can attract studen

53、ts attention to the new lesson, and let them know what they would learn. Introduction of childrens songs in the class to improve teaching efficiencyIn English class, teachers used songs could overcome the embarrassment, and singing English songs can break silence and make poor concentration on child

54、ren to focus their attention on class, and let more children to take part in the classroom, and the student can use knowledge of more easily. Such as: When studying the “The morethe more.” You can sing “the more we get together, the merrier we will be.” or when student learn the “friend” word, teacher can sing:Good morning, Mingming!Good morning, Mingming!Good morning, my dear friend!Good morning to you!2. 7 Using pupils songs can improve to class effectivelyWhen you use the childrens son
