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?

Some people argued that it is better for children to opt for learning a foreign

language

at primary

level

schooling than at secondary

school

. In my view, the benefits of

this

approach far outweigh the drawback it

has

. Admittedly, there is mainly one negative side relates to learning a new

language

in primary

school

than at secondary

school

.

To begin

with, learning a foreign

language

may hinder or distract students from their own curriculum more at primary

level

.

This

is because usually the burden of courses

more in primary

school

than the secondary one.

This

, in turn, means if children start giving time to learning a new

for science, mathematics, and English subjects, and utilizing time to learn a fully new

for

to

the comprehension of the

school

syllabus. Research by World Education Organization,

for instance

, showed that 10% students out of 100% when exposed to learn a new

language

in primary schools, become distracted from their basic studies, as compared to just 5% in secondary

level

, in Malaysia.

On the other hand

, there are several benefits of

this

trend.

Firstly

, children in primary schools are more sharp-minded than in secondary schools, and can learn another

language

rapidly. Primary

school

age individuals are usually more receptive and sharp in learning new things immediately, as compared to secondary

school

students.

This

, in turn, means opting for bilinguals can be easy and productive for them. A recent report from Oxford University,

for example

, showed that primary

level

students are 15% more likely to learn an English

language

than secondary

school

students, in Spain.

Secondly

, the early adoption of learning a foreign

language

, can make an individual to perform better in the new culture and environment. Their exposure to a new

language

would be for many years, and if they travel abroad, they would communicate better, owing to the

language

understanding.

That is

to say, when children visit a foreign country, it is highly likely to understand the traditions and

circumstanced

your overall circumstances or condition in life (including everything that happens to you)

circumstances

of a country, due to their ability of better comprehension of the

language

. In conclusion, some individuals believe that it is more beneficial to start learning a foreign

language

at primary

level

that secondary

level

schooling. In my opinion, diverting attention from

school

syllabus is the one drawback associated with learning a foreign

language

at primary

level

, which is far

outweigh

Suggestion

outweighed

by the positive outcomes

such

as easily understanding a new

language

and culture and tradition of a foreign country when visit.
