摘要根据自身的学前英语教学实践，作者发现学前英语教学的一些不利因素。它们分别是汉语的负迁移作用、教师综合能力的不足和儿童认知能力的局限。进而，提出一套符合学前儿童需要的学前英语教学法，即学前英语游戏教学法。它的理论基础吸收了传统英语教学法理论，如全身反应法、听说法、交际语言教学法和自然法。本文还逐一介绍了学前英语教学法的理论基础、教学设计、教学过程和注意事项。

学前英语游戏教学法的精髓是在有趣的游戏中学习英语。它有效地克服传统英语教学中“重操练，轻实践”的弊端。为学前儿童英语学习营造了轻松愉快的氛围。游戏教学法简单易行，是适合学前英语教学的英语教学法。学前英语游戏教学法的实施，是教学实践的有益尝试，希望为学前英语教学同行提供参考。
