The current foreign language program at Wilson starts in sixth grade. Considering what you know about brain development, is that a good age to start studying a foreign language or is it not necessarily the best age to start? Explain using at least two examples.
It would be best for schools to start teaching foreign languages at a younger grade than sixth grade. Children learn most easily earlier in life, and it would be best for them to learn a new language and become fluent within the earliest stages of life. Secondly, correlations show that children who learn foreign languages are more proficient in reading. Therefore, it would be best for children to learn a foreign language early in order to suceed in their early grades.
