The Effects of Learning More Than One Foreign Language on Children’s First Language Acquisition and Learning Case of Primary Schools Children in Tiaret.

Abstract

Foreign language learning through early childhood has grown over time, perhaps because parents and policymakers think young children can quickly and easily learn a foreign language, which will later benefit them on their lifetime.Starting foreign language learning at an early age provides an advantage in some children’s language skills. For example, listening comprehension benefits when foreign language teaching begins at an earlier age and it states better results overall. Young children learn the grammar structure and rules of the second language more slowly than older children. On the other hand, in some studies, it has been showed that learning a language at an early age is not as positive as expected. At this level, it was found that especially teachers did not know what should be taught in the next stage, and did not how foreign language teaching was accoutered to the children at a young age.
