All students should study a foreign language in school, starting in their earliest grades. To What extent do you agree or disagree with this statement.
Many people believe that
children
should learn a foreign language
other than their mother tongue at school
at the beginning of their school
year. In my opinion, I completely agree with the proposed idea, because children
at a much younger age
have greater learning abilities. In addition
, they do not feel burdened with additional subjects in high school
because they have been introduced to foreign languages
from early life.
Children
have a greater potential to learn new things at a younger age
. This
is comparable to a baby who doesn't know a word at birth but quickly accepts it from parents and adults. For example
, in Sri Lanka, before the 1990s, English was introduced to children
in secondary schools, but after much research, teachers realized that primary school
students could understand it more quickly in secondary schools themselves. Therefore
, it makes more sense to introduce language
skills at an early age
.
In addition
, high school
students have to study many advanced subjects during their school
years. If a foreign language
is introduced in addition
to these subjects, it means an additional burden for them, and they do not have the pace to study it until the end of their studies. For example
, the majority of Sri Lankan students do not choose to study foreign languages
such
as French or Japanese when they are introduced into their curriculum at regular and advanced levels because of the additional effort required to master those languages
in less time period.
In short, the child has a greater potential to learn a new language
when it is introduced at an early age
. It also
gives them more time to learn foreign languages
if they are introduced in their early academic years. So I support the idea of introducing a child to a foreign language
if it is more adaptive.Submitted by maihegazy2017 on
