Task 1 - ESSAY In this essay I write about early foreign language learning. I present benefits and risks of early foreign language learning. I choose this topic because I study field of study “teaching for kindergartens“ on Tomas Bata University in Zlín. This thesis will be actual for me very soon. I believe that this essay will be useful for teachers and parents of children.
Benefit of early foreign language learning can be positive attitude of the child to the language. Children do not have negative attitudes towards the foreign language community and they are not limited by other factors such as fear of rejection. This causes barriers to learning especially for adults (Littlewood, 1984 in Jandečková, 2016).
Another benefit is that children are still evolving. Brain, speech and hearing develop. The benefit of this early age is the plasticity of the brain and speech-motor system. Children have a sense of imitation, they have a great imitation abilities. Children can reproduce pronunciation and intonation, they are very sensitive to new sounds. Experts argue that children can acquire permanent skills at the level of a native speaker, provided they are exposed to a quality stimulus (Johnstone, 2002; Nikolov, 2009).
Like risk we can consider the undeveloped ability of children to cooperate. Children have occasional mood swings and they can rabid. Poor self-control and strong emotionality of children can cause that unprepared teacher loses control of children's activity (Lojová, 2005).
Strict measures of teachers can contribute to the negative attitude of children towards learning foreign languages. It is important to work with the child in a friendly manner, respecting the length of the child 's concentration and take into account interests of child which motivate the child (Lojová, 2005).
According to these benefits, I think it is advantageous for children to learn a foreign language soon. Foreign languages are very important nowadays and it is good for a child to adopt them at early age. For example, by listening to fairy tales in a foreign language. The risks, which I mention, depend very much on the temperament of the child.
