Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary schools rather than secondary schools. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?
Over the period of globalization, there has been a suggestion about the inclusion of foreign language in the primary schools’ curriculum by experts. It seems that, this change might contribute to positive impacts on pupils such as fluency in another language and a chance to promote admissions for future purposes. Although there are some concerns about timetables and a mixture of languages, I absolutely believe that the inclusion of languages in primary schools is preferable rather than in secondary schools.
