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?

There is an expert opinion that children who start learning a foreign

language

in grade

school

make it better than children in lower and upper secondary schools. I tend to agree with that statement that early age will contribute to better

language

learning because

language

can be learned through games, compared to students with secondary education who are might not ready to use

this

approach due to the mature ages. The game-based approach is one of the advantage factors in

language

learning. Children learn everything through a game and in early ages.

Moreover

,

this

is an essential tool because human nature to learn something works only when we enjoy the subject being studied. Because of that, gamification of different processes can bring tremendous results.

For instance

, the University of Dallas experimented with a sample of primary and secondary

school

results on how to learn the

language

better and found that game-based tools help students get much better results.

However

, there are

also

drawbacks, and one of the significant problems for children is the lack of opportunity to focus on a long period of learning, which in turn leads to short and jerky learning processes.

In other words

, it can lead to children learning the same subject several times.

For example

, a recent study on

language

learning found that students attending elementary

school

are more likely to have problems concentrating, so

language

learning in elementary

school

is much better. In conclusion, even considering the negative aspect of

language

learning in elementary

school

, the advantage of the above example are outweighed and directly prove that when using the right tools to teach pupils in elementary

school

, they will have positive results compared to older pupils.
