With the growing openness and the deep-going reform of preschool education,English teaching for children becoming a hot-spot in our preschool education.Teachers and parents all accepted that English teaching is an important way of developing child's intelligence.The critical period of language development in infant and early childhood.American psychologist Bloom says: if the intelligence level as 0-17 are reaching 100%, 0 to 4 years old can reach 50%.The critical period for language acquisition is often explored in the context of second language acquisition.The critical period for first language acquisition is that learning oral English ability is formed in early childhood.In 1967,the British scholar Lenneberg proposed "critical period hypothesis",After the critical period for language acquisition , a child's ability to learn a new language appears to decline rapidly If the child for some reason not to learn a language in a critical period.Michael.H.Long &D.Larsen-Freeman also consider:The critical period for language acquisition coincides with the time during which the brain's hemispheric lateralization for language and other cognitive skills takes place.It becomes progressively more difficult to acquire language after the age 11-12 at which lateralization is complete.The best age for people to learn a language is between 0 and 6,the age of preschool children just in the sensitive period of language learning, especially in the area of voice intonation, sensitive period can be faster and better to master a language,in this period,children have formed the possibility of two or more speech center.

Therefore, if we can catch early childhood education for Chinese Preschool Children an second language, its potential and development is infinite.As one kind of knowledge education, English as well as Chinese,common sense, art, science,etc. In preschool, when English teaching can do neither affect native language learning, also won't interfere with the grasp of the native language, in contrast, rely on the native language to learn English and make the two promote each other, is a bold attempt, also provides the kindergarten curriculum reform and construction on the basis of theory and practice.So English teaching as a way of preschool children to learn a language is feasible. English learning for Chinese preschool children is a kind of positive mental activity, the language and cognitive development has a significant role in promoting.In the process of English teaching, the teacher design all kinds of education activity, let the children relaxed atmosphere of positive happily learn oral English, and build a sense of English language, arouse the interest and curiosity in English learning , lay a good foundation for young children learning in primary school even high school.
