France want to 'reinvent' English language teaching from age three
I am undecided on whether or not three is the right age to start teaching a second language. I know that the younger students are when they attempt to learn another language the more successful it is, but I think three is a little too young. Also I do not agree with the idea of three year olds learning a language from an online instructor. Three year old kids cannot read, so an adult would have to go through the entire learning process with them anyway, so why not have it be a language teacher? I feel like it would be easier to learn a language if you were immersed in it in a classroom or culture, instead of trying to learn it off of a computer. There are so many people who spend hours of every day on the computer the way it is, so personally I would not want my three year old child to get accustomed to spending a lot of time on the computer. I would rather them enjoy their youth and spend time playing outside or something like that they would enjoy.
