现阶段的父母有很多英语程度并不好，特别是在教育孩子的英语作文时看不懂，所以关于父母如何教育孩子英语的问题问的比较多，那么英语不好的父母应该如何教育孩子英语呢？应该遵循着什么样的原则呢？ 3-12岁儿童英语学习的重要性在我们眼中，孩子拥有无限的创造激情和活力，不用担心和怀疑我们的孩子是否聪明和优秀，因为孩子本身就是一个大大的宝藏，家长顾虑的只是是否有发现“宝藏”的慧眼。儿童发展专家认为，语言是一种非常复杂的智力结构系统，当儿童的语言能力发展到一定阶段后，便开始带动记忆力和理解力的发展；也就是说，在语言学习的关键期受到有效培养的儿童，不但能使大脑的记忆活动得到飞跃式的发展，理解力也远远超过同龄儿童。因此，美国“人类能力开发研究所”所长格伦.德曼博士(Dr.Glemm Doman)给全世界父母的珍贵建议：学习语言，年龄越小越容易，而且学的越好！ 再有就是教育孩子英语应该遵循的原则： 一、尊重孩子本身已具备的能力 少儿英语课堂活动的设计必须充分考虑每个孩子的智力优势，使每个孩子都能够充分参与，不断进步，同时需要借助在孩的生活经验和思维范畴之内的有意义、有趣和具有可参与性的话题(topics)，以便形成目标语言的语言环境。 二、鼓励交际互动 英语学习是一个互动的过程。正如著名教育学者Halliday所说：“母语以及第二的学习是一个认知的过程，它的表现形式就是自我与他人连续不断的交流。” 三、支持商讨以及协作谈话 在交际语言教学中倡导对语言意义进行商讨和协作谈话，学生们相互交流观点，共同解决实际问题，并达成一致的理解，激发孩子的的谈话动机和开口愿望。 四、完整诠释英语 考虑孩子的学习风格、喜好、能力、综合发展水平，使用故事比赛、歌曲韵文和角色扮演等，使孩子在可理解的语言环境中接触完整的英语系统，吸收并使用完整的语言，并在更深层次的潜意识中逐步理解其结构和语法。 五、创造轻松、愉快和支持性的学习环境 为孩子创造一个积极的学习氛围，消除孩子英语学习中的恐惧感，支持挑战性的活动和冒险，借助与孩子生活相联系的有趣的话题，培养孩子各方面的涵养。

　　parents and their children＇ s education parents, especially those of teenagers, care about their children＇s education more than anything else. they could do everything for their children.many of them spend most of their spare time coaching their children in studies; those who have no time or cannot do it have hired tutors. some also send their children to after-class schools. some even have tried to improve their home environment. it seems as if a better education is all that parents expect for children. the present situation can be explained by the following reasons. first of all, as our country＇s economy has been moving ahead healthily, many parents have become aware that future success depends more and more on skills and education. lack of training or education will no longer ensure that young people have a promising future. secondly, it is evident that in a competitive society there are both losers and winners. the children who have grasped better skills and more knowledge will enjoy more opportunities. what is more,＇ with school tuition increasing it is also reasonable for parents to expect their children to be somebody or do something great as a result of education they have received. certainly, it is good to see much of parents＇ attention is paid to children＇s education. however, in my opinion, emphasis should also be laid on fostering their other abilities and personal qualities. true, it is important to learn to succeed,but the first thing to learn is how to survive and how to be a qualified citizen. if this is included in good education that parents are seeking now, their children will be definitely ensured not only a bright future but also a sound intellectual and mental foundation, hence a healthy life.
