New Theory of Children's Thinking Development: Application in Language Teaching [Hardcover]

This book proposes a new theory on childrens thinking (cognitive) development. According to this theory, the stages of said development should be divided into four stages: first, the stage of animalistic thinking (birthbefore possessing basic language ability); second, the stage of elementary thinking (beginning to possess basic language abilitybeginning to possess proficient oral ability); third, the stage of intermediate thinking (beginning to possess proficient oral abilitybefore the formation of comprehensive cognitive ability); and fourth, the stage of advanced thinking (after the formation of comprehensive cognitive ability). In this context, thinking includes logical thinking, visual thinking and intuitive thinking. Based on the new theory, the author points out the serious negative impact that Piagets stage theory of childrens cognitive development has had on Chinese language education in China. The book also offers a number of practical principles, such as five teaching activities for language teaching of extension, typing, writing, passage, and thinking.Innovative Exploration of an Accelerated Progress Approach to Language Education in the Internet Era.-?Practices of Innovative Exploration in Language Teaching: Questioning ?the Stage Theory of Childrens Cognitive Development .-?New Theory of Childrens Thinking Development.-?Innovative Language Education Theory Based on the New Theory of Childrens Thinking Development.-?The Study of Psychological Model and Teaching Approaches in Primary School Composition.-?Cultivation of Creative Thinking in Language Education.
