Learning second Language at school.

-
Hi, readers! Welcome back to my blog!
How’s life?
I hope all of you feel good and happy.
Today we will talk about Learning second Language at school.




 According to Wikipedia.com a second language is a language that is not the native language (first language or L1) of the speaker, but is learned later (usually as a foreign language, but it can be another language used in the speaker's home country).

Why is it important to learn a second language at a young age?
Research shows that learning a second language boosts problem-solving, critical-thinking, and listening skills, in addition to improving memory, concentration, and the ability to multitask. Children proficient in other languages also show signs of enhanced creativity and mental flexibility.




How do young learners learn a second language?
Young children have time to learn through play-like activities. They pick up language by taking part in an activity shared with an adult. They firstly make sense of the activity and then get meaning from the adult's shared language. Picking up third, fourth, or even more languages is easier than picking up a second.

Is it easier to learn a second language at a young age? And what are the benefits of learning a second language for young learners?
Learning a second language is easier as a child
One of the main benefits of learning a second language at an early age is that children learn languages faster and easier. They have more time to learn, less to learn, fewer inhibitions, and a brain designed for language learning.


I think that’s all for today. Thank you for visiting my blog. 
See you!
Stay safe and stay healthy!

Assessment is the process of gathering and discussing information from multiple and diverse sources in order to develop a deep understanding of what students know, understand, and can do with their knowledge as a result of their educational experiences; the process culminates when assessment results are used to improve.
