Accelerated Learning & Multiple Language Instruction
Francois Thibaut, founder of the Language Workshop for Children, discusses how learning languages at a young age provides a child with a firm foundation for greater success with respect to their education and career.
Young children who learn second languages often score higher on standardized tests, such as the SAT.
“Since 50% of the verbal portions of the SAT tests measure a child's knowledge of root words, studying Latin based languages (such as Spanish )gives a child a tremendous start building the inventory of words roots they will need to achieve high SAT scores.
Young children have the best opportunity to become the business and political leaders of tomorrow by learning multiple languages while they are young.
Domestic employers in the United States will continue to value employees who can speak multiple languages, especially Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese.
Second language capabilities are in need in our global, diverse community more so now than ever before.
Teaching infants, toddlers and preschoolers foreign languages will provide them with invaluable advantages, both now and for the future.
Early Foreign Lanugage Learning and Future Success
Abroad Language Institute, “The best time for language acquisition is during early childhood…. Young children learn languages naturally by building multiple language systems alongside their first language; and by absorbing sounds, intonation patterns, structures, and rules of languages intuitively…. Young brains are inherently flexible and are uniquely wired to acquire languages naturally.”
