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?

In today’s globalised world, the need to learn a

second

language

has become an economic necessity. Some claim that students should be taught another

language

before they reach high school. While

this

is not without its problems, I strongly believe the educational benefits outweigh the drawbacks. One of the problems with teaching a

second

language

to young children is that it is often hard to keep their attention because they have no interest in it. When I was in preschool

for instance

, I lacked motivation to learn another

language

because it seemed boring to me.

This

changed in high school because I started to think about my career plans and

also

wanted to travel abroad.

On the other hand

First

more likely to become fluent in a

if they start to learn it at a young age.

This

is because young children have greater neural plasticity, which means that they can learn new skills

as a

more effectively than when they are older. Another upside to learning a

second

language

before high school is that it improves other cognitive abilities. In fact, it has been shown that children who learn a

second

language

at a young age have better problem solving and critical thinking skills, enhanced memory, and tend to be more creative. Ultimately, the downsides to learning a foreign

the preschool pale

in comparison to the advantages as I firmly believe students will have a greater chance of becoming fluent if they are exposed to the

language

at a young age.

However

, to teach effectively, teachers will have to take student apathy into account when planning their lessons.
