Discussion essay on language teaching
DISCUSSION ESSAY ON LANGUAGE TEACHING
It's certainly easy to say that we should introduce cultural contents in our English lessons, but how could we do it?
Most schools have already started introducing a foreign language for three year old children, and this has also turned into a topic of debate. It might be English another subject for children with three years?
Many people believe that such young children aren't able to start with another language like English, because they think that learning catalan and spanish they is enough learning.
From my point of view, people who say things like this are so ignorant because it is said that the more languages you know and dominate the better for you, and if you start this task since you are young it will be more easier, and you'll have more time to improve the different languages you learn.
On the other hand there are people who are in favour of introducing foreign language since their children are young because they help them to be more skilful to learn other languages.
Furthermore they approve of this project because learning a new language will open a lot of doors to them when the time for them to work arrives.
One of the main advantages of this project of introducing a foreign language so soon is that it will help our pupils to develope other subjects and to enrich their culture.
On the subject of culture, another idea is to introduce cultural contents in to our English lessons, and we can do this in different ways, because depending on the age of the children we will offer them different aspects of the culture and we will treat it aspects in different ways.
To introduce this cultural contents in a class of three year old children, we might put a video where you could see the English countryside, where you could see native people of the country speaking the language, making together typical English dishes in the class, bringing an English in order that the children could ask him about his country, reading about legends of the country or typical stories. There are a lot of things we can do introduce cultural contents.
The best thing to know well about cultural contents of the country would be organizing an excursion to this country, but this trip qould have to be considered well because with such small children we might not be able to organize it.
On balance, we are capable of introducing a foreign language at age, and school enty age is probably the best age to begin. And in different ways, we can introduce the cultural contents of the country so we have a better knowledge of the language.
