Please tell me about syllables.

I'm a student of a university in Japan, and studying English linguistics.
Please tell me about syllables.

Japanese start learning words with Goju-onjun, or a chart of syllables of Japanese ( actually thery are moras ) in the first grade.

When do you American start learning syllables in English words at school?

Thanks,
Emi
