Children and Foreign Language
Friday, August 14th, 2009Dear Readers,
I will be talking about FAQs asked by parents. This week’s question is how early should a child be introduced to a foreign language?
My experience in teaching 12 month old children and my son and all studies in this field point to the conclusion that there’s no better time to introduce a foreign language than at an early age, when the brain and phonological system are still being developed.
I advocat the theory which defends that there’s a limit for brain development and that by the age of 7, 90% of our brain development is completed.
I personally think that parent interaction and making the experience fun and nurturing are the best ingredients to early childhood learning in all areas.
If you want to learn more, ask questions here, make comments, talk to me!
Saludos,
Claudia Krusch
