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 authorities believe that it is more advantageous for children to start learning a new

language

at elementary

school

rather than in high

school

. They have

this

opinion because they feel that children in primary

school

would become more adept in foreign languages if they started learning at a tender

age

, notwithstanding their lack of ability to choose the languages they may be interested in and their apparent lack of commitment to the learning process. In my opinion, secondary

school

students fare better at learning new languages despite having passed their immature years. Proponents of teaching foreign languages to pupils at primary

school

level have the conviction that learning new languages at

this

age

will increase proficiency. Because of their impressionable and young minds, children of

this

age

group are believed to have

greater propensity

Suggestion

a greater propensity

to imbibe the intricate structure of foreign

language

grammar

. Undeniably, we have come to be particularly skilled at speaking our native tongues and any other

second

languages we were taught during our early childhood, and in

this

more favourable.

However

, children in primary

school

have neither the capacity to choose their

language

of

interest

nor the dedication to adhere to a particular learning plan. Often times, when faced with difficult

language

grammar

, they tend to lose

interest

because they know not why they should prefer a certain foreign

language

over another. Else, if they did recognize the popularity of a particular

language

,

for instance

, they would make an informed decision and follow through with it.

For example

, having systematically researched on the subject of foreign

language

learning between toddlers and teenagers, the University of Toronto found out that teenagers were more likely to maintain

interest

in learning a foreign

language

than primary

school

toddlers, reason being that the teenagers had discretion over the

language

they were learning, which in turn improved their commitment to mastering the

language

grammar

and vocabulary. The findings of

this

research underscore the benefit of having children learn a foreign

language

in high

school

rather than in primary

school

. In conclusion, there are some who hold the view that learning a foreign

language

in primary

school

is more beneficial to learning it in secondary

school

.

Although

the elementary level pupils have the capacity to absorb new information, they lack the treasured ability to

handpick

their foreign

language

of

interest

and the capacity to preserve focus

in

learning

language

and vocabulary. These inadequacies of theirs are what

make

makes

learning a foreign

language

in that

group more disadvantageous than advantageous.
