Some people think that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school while others believe childrens should not start until secondary school. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Language

plays a vital role in communicating with others. Learning a

language

begins from the age of twelve months by just imitating their parents. Children should start learning new

languages

at a tender age rather than acquiring second

language

skills during sophomore year. Kids have a higher level of intelligence quotient and thinking capabilities than normal individuals as they are in a stage of learning by exploring. Teachers should take advantage of it to inculcate interest in younger students because they pickup up

languages

much more easily than adolescents.

For example

, children at a very young age are very fond of rhymes and cartoons. If the same thing is applied to educating foreign

languages

using pictures and favourite cartoon characters they can learn the new

language

easily.

Thus

, teachers should encourage students starting from primary

school

to acquire new

language

skills.

However

, some people believe that learning a second

language

during the initial days creates confusion in toddlers and makes them ineffective in communicating with their peers.

Therefore

, it is better to concentrate on foreign

languages

during secondary

school

because they have a good foundation in their primary

language

.

In addition

to

this

, grown-up children can effectively learn

language

skills by interacting more with their peer group members where they apply their intelligence levels more effectively when compared to toddlers.

To sum up

, it is always better to learn new things, especially

language

when we can correct ourselves if we are going wrong and

this

can be done by a secondary

school

child when compared to a primary

school

kid.

Therefore

, it would not create any confusion among them.
