some people believe that all children should learn a foreign language from the time they start school, while others feel it is better to wait until a child is at secondary school
Learning a secondary
language
, especially in our modern international society is a must. While
some believe the education system should postpone teaching the foreign language
to pupils until they complete their primary school, I would side with those who argue it should be taught to them as soon as they enter their first grade.
On the one hand, It is said that learning a foreign language
while
learning the basics of the mother tongue can be confusing for young learners. Using wrong patterns of grammar or collocations is argued to be detrimental for students because they are at the early age of building their language
structures and sentence blocks. For example
, they could utilize the foreign language
sentence structure as they are speaking in their native language
, especially for languages which are from two categories would be consequenced to terrible mistakes. Making these mistakes and the burden of learning a new language
,which is totally unfamiliar to her, not only has its
frustration but Correct pronoun usage
apply
also
can destroy the child's confidence.
On the other hand
, Although
learning a secondary language
can cause confusion and frustration for children, there are benefits which can outweigh its drawbacks. In my view, if a child starts its learning process sooner, she will sooner be a fluent language
learner. I admit that language
learning is a difficult process but it can be facilitated by using appropriate methods for children. At an early age, higher capacity fosters a learning process which eventually develops other cognitive skills such
as critical thinking and effective communication.
In conclusion, Although
vocabulary or grammar confusion from learning two languages at the same time can not be denied, gradually by trial and error, students are able to separate those languages effectively. therefore
, on balance, I strongly believe that starting foreign language
learning in the first grade not only makes pupils more fluent in that language
sooner but also
effectively boosts other cognitive skills development.Submitted by asobhani.lte on
