ADVANTAGES OF LEARNING FOREIGN LANGUAGES AT AN EARLY AGE
Abstract
Learning foreign languages at an early age has numerous cognitive, social, and educational benefits. This article explores the multifaceted advantages of early foreign language acquisition, including enhanced cognitive development, improved academic performance, and greater cultural awareness. Through a comprehensive literature review, we examine existing research on the subject and analyze methodologies used in these studies. We also discuss the implications of these findings for educational policies and
practices. Our analysis reveals that children who learn foreign languages early exhibit superior problem-solving skills, better multitasking abilities, and a heightened sense of empathy and cultural understanding. These benefits not only contribute to individual growth but also foster global communication and cooperation.
