Advantages and disadvantages of learning a foreign language at primary school

#language #school
Some experts believe that it is better for offspring
to begin
 learning a foreign
language
 at primary
school
 rather than secondary
school
. Do the advantages of
this
 outweigh the disadvantages? In recent years, learning a foreign
language
 is increasing in popularity in our modern world. Some scientific people claim that learning a
second
language
 should start learning at primary
school
 rather than secondary
school
. While there are some drawbacks of learning a foreign
language
, I still believe that
this
 cannot overshadow of benefits. On the one hand, there is no doubt that beginning to learn a
second
language
 before going to secondary
school
 has some disadvantages. Some boys and girls,
for example
, are so confused about understanding two various grammar rules of languages
such
 as mother tongue and foreign
language
.
As a result
, some primary
school
 students can learn neither a native
language
 nor a foreign
language
.
Furthermore
, more subjects at primary
school
 prevent students from playing outside with their peers and going to entertaining and sports clubs
On the other hand
, starting learning a foreign
language
 at an early age gives more advantages for
children
.
Firstly
, primary
school
children
 are so keen on learning a foreign
language
 due to most modern
children
’s interests are watching cartoons. To illustrate, most cartoons are watched in the English
language
 which is what
children
 are ready to learn easily.
Secondly
, globalization and the era of cutting-edge technology cause of starting learning a foreign
language
 at an early age.
For instance
,
children
 go to spend the summer holiday abroad and the use of modern technology is increasing popularity in
children
’s life earlier.
