Children
At what age should be learning of a foreign language begin? This
is a topical subject among teachers and educators who generally
want nursery school children to be exposed to foreign languages.
This is the ideal age to "open the ear": the
small child has an ear which is capable of integrating all the sound
worlds, both of his mother tongue and that of a foreign language.
Teenagers
"A student who
has difficulty learning
a foreign language
is in the same position
as a child who is
not able to write,
read and speak in
his mother tongue.
He is "dyslexic"-
in other words he
has difficulty listening".
Thanks
to the Electronic
Ear we can help adolescents
open their ear to
the sounds of the
chosen language to
be integrated. In
the same way the behaviour
of the adolescent
will also change.
