IELTS task 2 topic - Learn foreign language

Below is my latest task, thank you so much for reviewing my works

Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary schools rather than secondary school.

Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

Some people think that the best age to learn a foreign language is at primary school rather than secondary school. The essay will argue that the advantages of this outweigh the drawbacks.

The main reason for pupils to begin studying new language early is that it is likely easier for them to achieve fluency in adulthood. Children start to learn everything with their open and empty mind so that it will be more beneficial for them to access new things faster in their early years. In addition, they will have more years to perfect their language skills and can speak as a native speaker. For example, in some countries such as Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia where English is taught from a very young age as second compulsory language and mostly adults can speak at advanced level.

Those opposed to this say that it caused pupils confused between mother tongue and the other language. Children will get puzzled in pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary for two language ad the same time. Moreover, one of the most important thing in primary education is teaching mother language and helping children understanding their own country’s culture. And children more likely have a tend to speak in international language like English rather than mother tongue in their daily life. As the result, time by time they will be forget how to use mother language and miss many traditional values of their country.

In conclusion, the fact that early foreign language learning leads to higher fluency and perfection clearly outweighs the argument that it should be better at secondary school.
