The Foreign Language at a Young Age (Lariat)Imagine that you are sitting in a classroom full of bilingual people, but that you are the only one who cannot speak any other language except its own. What are you doing? Will you try to communicate? Or do you wonder why you didn't take the foreign language courses that might have been available to you during your early years of education? The key words here are “could have been available”. Some schools may not include foreign language in their curriculum, but it should be added because it would be an excellent opportunity for students to receive a better education. But which school level would be most effective for achieving this goal? Younger students would benefit more from learning a foreign language; being so young, their minds are more capable of absorbing information. “…Time Magazine suggests that foreign language should be taught to children as early as possible” (Robert D. Peckham). Elementary school students should include foreign language in their curriculum because there are multiple benefits to early exposure to primary grades. As demonstrated throughout history, younger students are more adept at language acquisition. Although some may think "...their minds are incapable of learning and memorizing a foreign language, it is enough effort for a child to learn a language, a native language..." (It should be foreign... ). It may not be easy to learn, but it will actually help their brain develop gradually, not only helping them in studying foreign languages, but also improving other areas. Cheryl Walker states this clearly, saying that foreign language, “…increases listening, creativity, and critical skills…midway through the paper…demonstrating students' ability in foreign languages.” Phi Delta Kappan November 1, 2004 .Library magazine. .Robert D.
