Owing to the irreversible trend of globalization, people are motivated to learn foreign languages for overseas travel and study. Some argue that students should acquire a second language once they attend school whilst others contend that they should start during secondary school. It is obvious that learning a second language early in earlier childhood can enhance students’ international competitiveness in both academic and career aspects. On the contrary, the amount of time can be invested in sensory motor development if young kids start learning foreign languages during secondary education, leading to better holistic development. From my perspective, I believe that the two ideations stand their ground, depending on the parenting styles.
