Is Phonics really useful for kids learning English as a second language in a non-native environment? (i.e. classmates all local, parents local, relatives local) I see a lot of Phonics classes in HK and it seems everyone is talking Phonics.
Phonics allow one to read an English word with approximately correct pronunication, but it won't make one understand the meaning of the words and won't make one able to speak fluently or make one able to listen to what native (with different accents) speakers say. English is such a irregular language with so so many exception in pronunciation that no rules can be applied consistently.
I think Phonics is more helpful to people in an native English environment because they already speak / listen to the language from parents, teachers, TV and friends but they may not know the words yet. By learning Phonics they can link the words to meaning and learn the spelling too.
Just sharing my views on Phonics... |
