No one can deny the fact that some experts argue that primary school is better for students to start learning a
second
language than doing it at higher grades. In my opinion,
this
will carry more benefits for the youngsters when they learn more advanced subjects and learning abroad compared to the minor problems it might bring.
To begin
with, according to child psychology, the child's brain has the ability to grasp more linguistic features than that of adults.
This
means, when they teach a
second
expression in early stages, they are able to be proficient with it before moving up in the ladder.
Besides
, that would help them focus more on learning other demanding subjects as they do not need extra effort to learn a new voice. Some of the schools in Sri Lanka,
for instance
, have started teaching English from grade one, and some parents claim that their child is making good progress in all the subjects. Teachers have identified
this
is because these children are able to understand the subject matters more quickly as they are not busy with learning a new phrase.
In addition
,
this
trend will put a strong foundation for children to learn abroad once they pass out of schools.
In other words
, since they are able to deal with another speech, they could start their higher education in a different country without spending time on breaking the style barrier.
Moreover
,
this
will help them blend with the locals which is inevitable when it comes to social survival in a different geographical location.
For example
, students in Singapore often apply for the universities in Spain, but they spend six months to learn Spanish as they are not taught the sound at primary schools. It is evident that these students do not gain the vocabulary at the same pace as children in primary schools do.
On the other hand
, some schools do not have primary school teachers to teach a foreign style.
This
is because governments have not identified the importance of teaching languages in the early grades; so that many schools in the countryside have problems in conducting these subjects.
Therefore
, having
this
kind of minor problems might cause problems for some portion of children in a country.
In conclusion, even though there may have schools which do not have the resources to teach languages which would pave the way to separate children from exploring the horizons of knowledge, disadvantages of
this
trend is far more eclipsed by the advantages
such
as allowing children to focus more on learning demanding subjects.
