School should not force children to learn a foreign language. To what extent
do you agree or disagree?
Many people argue that learning another language should not be one of the
compulsory curriculums for young people at the age of schooling. While I accept
that the benefits a foreign language brings to students are undeniable, I completely
agree that children should not be required to do so.
On the one hand, there are a variety of reasons why it is necessary for youngsters
to acquire a new language. Firstly, exposure to other nation’s language would
motivate children to have thorough insights on the culture of those nations, which
unfold the possibility of accessing foreign education. For example, a vast number
of foreign/ international schools have offer opportunities for young learners on
exchange programs, which enable them to briefly immerse themselves in the
culture of a foreign country whose language they are learning. Secondly, more
sources of information in a foreign language are now available on the internet. For
those who studied English, it would satisfy of different preferences for ample
fields owing to the widespread popularity of English language on the globe.
On the other hand, learning/ acquiring another language should be a privilege
instead of obligation. Research has shown that an excessive amount of pressure on
studying foreign language may result in a negative attitude towards the study of
schoolchildren. Instead of that, stimulating language-learning activities should be
given as a motivation for children to do so. Furthermore, youth tends to be
reluctant to learn a foreign language unless they recognize its importance on their
future careers in the long – run. For example, Vietnamese individuals should not
be required to attend foreign language classes as long as they are in the certainty
of no use it in the future.
In conclusion, all the existing evidence has provided the concrete foundation that
it should be motivated schoolchildren to learn the foreign language instead of
compelling them to do so.
