IELTS Writing Practice 1 Task 2

Foreign language education is a new problem for students in the school. Some experts give their opinion that foreign language education is better to be taught since the primary school. There are both advantages and disadvantages of teaching foreign language in primary school which I will explain in the following paragraph. 

The needed of foreign language is urgent for global era right now and it needs long time to study other language. Some educational experts think the best time of learning foreign language is  in primary school rather than secondary school because more young the children is more easy to learn and shape their tongue to speak the other language. In addition, the time in primary school is more flexible and students able to spend more time to learn foreign language.

However, primary school students have high risk in loss their nationality because language is the one of the important part of country identity. With learning other language, it can break their own language because maybe the students is more interested to learn . It can be proved by the National Exam for senior high school students in Indonesia which get more good result in English than in Bahasa. It is the most worried problem for government because many students are more interesting with foreign language than their own country language.   

In conclusion, teaching foreign language earlier has more advantages side rather than their disadvantages. Although introducing it earlier have positive side, the teachers must have appropriate teaching methods without losing student learning interest of their own country language.
