Advantages and disadvantages of learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school

It is considered by some professionals that learning a foreign

language

in primary

school

is better than in secondary

school

for

children

.

This

trend has not only advantages but

also

disadvantages

. In spite of some drawbacks, there are many benefits. There are two major advantages of

this

situation.

Firstly

, when

children

were young, their brain is able to cope the new things than in older age.

For example

, if a

child

who may be 5years old

child

and the 60_ year_ old lady have to learn the same lesson, the

child

will focus on that lesson more than the older lady because of the brain's function. If

children

learnt a new

language

at primary

school

, they don'

t

need to spend the time in secondary

school

.

Secondly

, people who speak another

language

besides

the local

language

will have more chances of job opportunities.

Thus

, learning a foreign

language

can have many benefits.

On the other hand

,

this

approach has some drawbacks.

First

of some

disadvantages

is that a

child

learnt a new

language

at primary

school

but he gets older , he chooses his carrier as an IT professional. If so, the

language

he learns can'

t

give any benefit to his carrier. Another disadvantage is that

children

can'

t

make any decisions in primary

school

as compared to secondary

school

where they can know their hobbies and interest. If they do not choose a carrier in the

language

field, it was a waste of time at primary

school

.

Therefore

, learning a new

language

at primary

school

has few

disadvantages

. In conclusion,

although

there are a few shortcomings, benefits

such

as saving time for learning a non_regional

language

in adulthood and job opportunities in foreign countries can'

t

be overlooked.

Thus

, I would argue that the advantages of

this

notion outweigh its

disadvantages

.
