Some believe that students should begin learning a language very early in school while others think these subjects should be taught later. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

The appropriate time for

students

to start learning a

language

is an ongoing debate. Some people believe that children should begin learning a foreign

language

as early as possible

while

others argue that

language

instruction should be delayed until later in their education. Both sides have their advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, proponents of early

language

learning think that kids have an easier time learning a new

language

as children’s brains are still developing, and they are more receptive to new information.

Additionally

, they believe that starting at a young age helps

students

develop a better accent and achieve a higher level of fluency.

For instance

, in Myanmar, Chinese people who attended both Burmese schools and Chinese schools simultaneously in their childhoods are more proficient in both languages than their peers who learnt Chinese later.

On the other hand

, some people assume that delaying

language

instruction until later in school is a better approach. Because they consider that learning a new

language

can be challenging, and it can be overwhelming for junior learners who are still struggling with basic academic skills.

Moreover

, they lean on

students

to focus first on developing their native

language

skills and broader academic knowledge. From my perspective,

language

instruction should begin as early as possible, but it should be age-appropriate and fun. On top of that, it should not come at the expense of other important subjects

such

as math, and science.

However

, for some

students

, delaying

language

learning may be the best approach,

while

for others, starting at a young age may be more appropriate. Ultimately, the best time to start learning a second

language

depends on the individual’s needs and circumstances.
