Read English books to the child. Convey the meaning of the book by using the book's illustrations and your own gestures and voice pattern. Allow the child to hear the rhythm and pattern of the English language as you read. Translate words as minimally as possible. If you do translate words, only translate one or two key words to allow the child to learn, naturally, the sentence structure of the English language.
Play CDs of English songs and learn the words as you sing along. Listen to songs that the child knows from her native language so that she can understand the song's meaning without formal translation. Introduce new songs that have finger plays or hand movements that convey the song's meaning. If you need to translate, provide translations for a few of the song's key words to allow the child to acquire, through immersion, the structure and meaning of the remainder of the lines.
Speak English to the child whenever possible. Give the child simple instructions in English. Use both languages, English as well as the child's native language, but whenever possible speak only in English. Increase the percentage of English that you use in your conversations through time.
Immerse the child in an English-speaking environment. Schedule after-school groups and playdates with English-speaking children. Place the child in English-speaking environments including, for young children, an English-speaking classroom.
Use positive reinforcement to encourage the child to speak English. Offer treats and special privileges for the child when he uses English in day-to-day conversations.
Tape tags with the names of household objects written in English on the relevant objects. Refer to these objects by their English name when you speak to the child. Even if you say most of your sentence in the child's native language, use the English word for common household objects as part of the sentence. As the child develops proficiency with these words, expand the percentage of English that you use in each sentence.
Play DVDs of English-language movies and television shows.
