Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school.
Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?
选项
答案
Traditionally, children have begun studying foreign languages at secondary school but introducing them earlier is recommended by some educationalists. This policy has been adopted by some educational authorities or individual schools, with both positive and negative outcomes.
There are some disadvantages. In the first place, primary school teachers themselves may not have the necessary language skills. If specialists have to be brought in to deliver these sessions, the interests of language learning for kids will be ruined and the its flexibility will be diminished as well. In the second place, the overly flexible timetable for language learning will never ensure that children have mastered some key features of lingual skills. In comparison, secondary school will supply more professional lessons with accurate teaching from which children can benefit a lot.
The arguments in its favour, however, are obvious. First of all, young children learn languages much more easily than teenagers. Their brains are still programmed to acquire their mother tongue, which facilitates learning another language, and unlike adolescents, they are not inhibited by self-consciousness. Another reason is that lingual skills from primary education are based on the children’s great interests in expressing their feelings. The strong motivation helps students acquire language with ease and fun. More importantly, without exerted pressing stress from tests and exams, students may devote themselves to language itself but nothing else.
In sum, anything which encourages language learning benefits both individuals as well as society culturally and economically, and early exposure to language learning contributes to this. Young children’s innate abilities should be harnessed to make these benefits more achievable.
