Globalisation has highlighted the need for international communication.It is iften argued that english should be a compulsory subject for all school children around the world. Other argue that this would do more harm than good.
As globalization develops, differences between
countries
are decreasing, leading to a new necessity of fast and easy communication accessible to everyone. A reasonable solution could be to make mandatory studying English
from an early age

this
is not a suitable solution for everyone. I personally believe such
measures would be way more beneficial than harmful, despite that I will discuss both points of view in this
essay.
Some argue that learning English
at such
early ages will affect how children learn their mother tongue, delaying not only their first words but also
the acquisition of a wider vocabulary. Admittedly, those infants who are in contact with more than one language at an early age
take 15% longer to say their first words; while
regular children speak for the first time around the age
of 11 months old, the second ones talk around 1.3 years old. However
, even though they start later, at the age
of three years old bilingual children are able to dominate their two languages just as good
as those who only speak one. Another remarkable reason is that those who speak better Change the word

English
will be more likely to leave the country they were born in to look for fairer job opportunities in English
-speaking nations. According to
The New York Times, already in ,2021 34% of New York City's population were first-generation immigrants and 88% of them spoke an almost native English
level. In my opinion, such
a situation would not take place if countries
would provide their citizens with decent jobs
.
Some others, myself included, are strong defenders of such
measures. Setting up an English
training program at such
early ages would not only save time and money for students who would have to learn the language afterwards but also
make them strongly valuable for a variety of job positions, inside and outside their countries
. For instance
, tourism-oriented jobs
are strongly demanded these days in countries
such
as Spain, France and Italy, ,,

, health-related jobs
such
as medical doctors or nurses are much needed in English
-speaking countries
, and every year many vacancies open for international workers only. Taking these jobs
would not only help people on an individual level but also
nations in a wider way,
since many shortages would be covered.
In conclusion, Remove the comma

although
some may resist, mandatory English
lessons at school would benefit not only human beings but also
nations, and it is only a matter of time before we take the next step towards such
change.Submitted by amcubrias on
