Childhood is of great advantage to learn a foreign language is a widespread seems to know. However, we need to know what is why this theory and experiment research on issues involving the psychological study of age and social linguistics, psychology, pedagogy, linguistics and the brain science, is a very complicated field of study.
Children began to learn what the most appropriate language? The problem with friends, learn many parents of children remember early for fear of disturbance in Chinese learning, The fear of being late to learn other children. Actually, the children to learn a foreign language is not sooner rather than later, I think is suitable for six years.
Early learning a foreign language
Famous children's education experts, Beijing early education research institute of education LiangYaZhu think, 3-12 years old is a personal learning a foreign language well.
The research also shows that the brain, who at the age of 12, speech and language before was right; the central Then, after some big speech central he turned to the right and left brain, native language. So, if you can provide a good family, the kindergarten teacher bilingual environment, have good language training, flexible and creative correctly use English, learning English for children or earlier.
Sooner rather than later is erroneous zone
But this does not mean that learning a foreign language is the sooner, the better. Some children learn from parents try to teach children when they speak in English language, some even on an unborn baby, do not accord with education law. According to my experience, six years of teaching is to cultivate the best stage of language ability.
According to the pattern of physical and mental development of children aged 0 to 3, the development stage, is to avoid interference, ensure the native language development ability, 3 to 6 years old, is native speakers as consolidation and development priority, 6 years old, the child can begin to learn the proper language. But when introducing the foreign language does not aim to let the child, but perceive the world is multiple, so to him the have a role in promoting. Specific to your child, when to start learning English, consider the choice of teaching material, teaching conditions such specific factors.
Children of second language acquisition and can obtain language level pronunciation intonation, based on the development of language ability. Because decreased to let the child completely second language environment, the first language development. The teenagers native ability has reached a certain level won't because of development of second language and affected, the second language is also able to achieve a certain level. Studies show that people to understand and grasp the written language by the influence of age, as the growth of the age, children and adults in listening comprehension, and some borrows the overall language ability and no influence. Many studies also show that adults with special training, its voice can achieve good level. Concluded that both adults or children, their motivation to learn self-confidence and learning environment for language learning than age or more important. Of course, the age of foreign language learning or influential, some early education of the foreign language support, art and music and foreign sports, early enlightenment is necessary.
To sum up, the problem about age, foreign language learning research shows that the longer the better to learn, Along with the growth of the age, the school subjects are not increase, the language can be expanded in the elementary stage of subjects, In today's world is becoming a world of internationalization, the primary language helps to promote students' understanding of different cultures, to make them develop a positive attitude to their value to the education, In addition, foreign language learning for the development of cognitive ability, can promote the learning language.
Currently, the age is can not constitute itself a major advantage of learning a foreign language, to ensure the advantage, age must be combined with other factors to develop its advantages. Here said the other factor is an important factor is the quality of teaching and learning time guarantee and good language environment. This means that the establishment of foreign language learning and early cannot guarantee the advantage of learning, unless there is elaborate design course, high quality teachers and favorable environment. Another notable problems are difficult to learn a foreign language, the results in 12 years, need continuous years of study, can achieve a time of primary level, therefore, high expectations are not real.
