Although there is no
complete consensus that has been reached on this topic, yet I would like to
take a stance and make my agreement with the given thesis that children should
be required to learn a foreign language from the time they attend school until
they get into the university. In order to substantiate my central focal points,
I will provide specific reasons and explore the given topic in great detail in
this essay.
To begin with, I firmly believe that learning a foreign language before they
begin university is really important and beneficial for children. They will
have no problems to communicate with diverse
people who use different languages, even if they go to other countries.
Opponents of my perspective claim that children also have many opportunities to
learn a foreign language after they get into the university. Proponents of this
view several points as the rationales for their argument and their argument
might have some validity. But after closer look, there exists an abundance of
examples that calling call into question
what they claim. Among such examples, my personal experience can elucidate
their incorrect viewpoint. Although I didn’t really get benefits of learning a foreign language, I learned Spanish in my high
school junior year. After I graduated high school, when I had a chance to visit
Spain, I could communicate with many people there without a language barrier.
Moreover, during the trip, I could make some Spanish friends, sharing common
interests. If I didn’t learn Spanish before I graduated
from high school, I would not have been be
able to make such valuable experience and friends. This validates my earlier
contention that children should learn a foreign language before begin going to the university.
The account of mine that I illustrated above is not the only evidence to
support my view. A recent survey conducted by one of the leading educational
consulting firms in Korea endorsed my opinion when the survey respondents were
asked whether they sided with the argument that all children should be required
to take a foreign language from the time they start school until they begin
university or not. A leading education expert claims claimed that since it is the era of globalization,
children are required to learn a foreign language. Among many reasons, the main reason is that most companies and
universities require global talent. The expert also states that to be such a person, it is a very
fundamental thing that children can should
prepare for requirements of most companies and
universities from their young age.
In conclusion, in spite of the fact
that there may be some opinions that children also have many opportunities to
learn a foreign language after they begin university, taking into account of
all the factors that I described above, we may reach to the conclusion
that all children should be required to learn a foreign language class
from the time they start school until they begin university.
