Some people feel that learning a foreign language is an essential component of a child’s education. Others feel that learning a foreign language is often a waste of time that can be better spent on learning about technology and other more vocational subjects. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Throughout the history of education, learning a foreign
language
has been a constant component. Of course, many Use synonyms
people
feel that Use synonyms
this
is really an unnecessary part of education for everyone, but Linking Words
this
is not a point of view that I share.
The opponents to learning a foreign Linking Words
language
might argue that most Use synonyms
people
do not travel that often outside their own country. Use synonyms
In addition
to Linking Words
this
, out of all the countries of the world, comparatively not many share the same Linking Words
language
. Use synonyms
Therefore
, learning a foreign Linking Words
language
will only be useful for the very limited Use synonyms
time
spent in the country where it is used. Use synonyms
For example
, for some Linking Words
people
, the Use synonyms
language
might never be used in their entire lives. When thinking about how much Use synonyms
time
and money are spent training Use synonyms
language
teachers, buying resources, going on trips and delivering lessons for Use synonyms
such
a negligible benefit, Linking Words
this
would seem to be a very inefficient allocation of resources.
Linking Words
However
, the benefits of learning a foreign Linking Words
language
go Use synonyms
further
than just the ability to use it from Linking Words
time
to Use synonyms
time
on a holiday or business trip. To illustrate Use synonyms
this
, through learning one Linking Words
language
, one gains an understanding to some extent of how all languages work. Use synonyms
Thus
, no matter where Linking Words
people
might end up around the world, the knowledge of Use synonyms
language
can be of use. Use synonyms
Secondly
, with the study of a foreign Linking Words
language
, one Use synonyms
also
opens oneself up to other cultures. Linking Words
This
allows in turn an appreciation for different points of view and belief systems. With an ever-shrinking world due to globalisation, the ability to empathise and understand Linking Words
people
from other countries is vital to reducing conflict and creating a more tolerant society. Use synonyms
Finally
, quite simply learning languages is excellent for the improvement of general cognitive skills.
In conclusion, it seems to me that learning a foreign Linking Words
language
, Use synonyms
therefore
, is more than just gaining the ability to speak a few words of a foreign tongue. It is part of intellectual and social development and needs to be continued for everyone in today’s schools.Linking Words
