Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

With the globalisation, not only adult people learn foreign languages, but many children

also

study foreign tongues in our modern society.

However

school

children have more positive outcomes when they learn a foreign

language

when they start going to

school

rather than they learn it in secondary

school

. On the one hand, opponents of early

language

education argue that pupils should wait to study a foreign

tongue

until secondary education, because

the small

children might be confused between their own native

language

and the foreign tongues that they learn at

school

.

However

, experts claim that people learn languages more efficiently when they have contrast, so it will help children to learn a foreign

tongue

comparing with their own

language

.

Furthermore

, it is

argued that elementary

school

students tend to be very busy and tired due to their fixed academical timetables which prevent them from learning extra subjects. In fact, pupils before puberty have

or adulthood and that will help children learn

without difficulties.

However

, despite the fact that children in elementary

school

are more likely to be

to their busy academic schedules, I strongly feel that children learn things more effectively when they start learning them at the early stage.

Firstly

, pupils in primary education are usually passionate enough to learn new things, and they do not feel fear to make mistakes as well that can motivate them to learn more. Another positive reason to learn languages in primary schools is that the development of cognitive skills.

of the brain systems, which will be beneficial when they learn advanced science skills later on. In short,

although

children in primary

could be confused between their own mother

and the foreign

,

that is

a small price to pay when it comes to the more developed cognitive skills that they will have later.

Therefore

, I believe that studying a foreign

language

in primary

school

rather than later outweighs the disadvantages.
