Why teach English to young children?

these are the reason why teach english to young children :
· The children find it easy to accept a new linguistic code because they are still learning their own.
· They find it easy to pronounce the new sounds for the same reason.
· They don’t feel self-conscious about sounding different.
· If they have a good experience of learning a language at this age, they will remember it with fondness, so will find it easier to learn languages later in life.

Long-term educational aims of teaching languages to young children:
· To encourage open-mindedness by preparing the child for the understanding and tolerance
of different ways of thinking and learning
· To help to improve cognitive development, by offering a further instrument for organising knowledge
· To encourage greater creativity as a consequence of a constant comparison between two different linguistic codes
· To lay the foundations for continuous linguistic education, allowing the formation of a type of education that is not exclusively centred on one’s own mother tongue and that leads to an easier study of foreign languages at higher school levels.
