Foreign languages to be taught in elementary schools

The article is about a measure which is abut to becarried out by the UK government, consisting in the teaching of a foreign language at the age of seven. The idea of this measure is to prevent the low performance of people when expressing ideas in another language, along with the improvment of certain knowledge like science and math in different languages.


There is also said in the article that the most important stage for learning is between four and five years old, in which children are able and more receptive to learn the basic structures of any language, though in order to do that, children must be assisted by schools with aid from the government so they can achive this goal.

 
There is also controversy between politicans due there are different kind of schools, which makes the range of education between free schools and private schools become broad, including the learning of a foreign language.
   Therefore, changes must be carried out in a wide range of education, involving not onlyyounger students but all the different levels of education. This is possible by the supervision of certified teachers with the recquired teaching skills to teach this to any education level and be sure this iniciative works properly.
