Is it really necessary for children to receive bilingual education from kindergarten? Why?
As for bilingual education, I think it should be treated rationally, and we should not draw conclusions because of a child's special circumstances. In order to let children jump on the starting line of exam-oriented education, many parents let their children learn foreign languages from kindergarten. In any case, this is a kind of utilitarian education in subjective consciousness. But there is another situation, please treat it differently, and that is family bilingual education. With the rapid development of modern society and the high mobility and integration of population, many people who don't know the region have formed families, even families composed of many transnational marriages.

Then children will face two or three different language learning, so what impact will this language environment have on children? Is this effect beneficial or harmful? It is good for children to master bilingualism from kindergarten. The popularity of English makes many parents realize the importance of learning a foreign language and pay more and more attention to it. In fact, it is not difficult to find that many adults learn and contact English late. After professional training and long-term contact, their pronunciation is not necessarily standard, but children who have been exposed to English can speak fluent and standard sentences. Why?

Because it is in a sensitive period of language. As Eric Lennenberg, a psychologist at Harvard University, said, more and more studies support the view that language has a "critical period"-or a "sensitive period" of a second language. A study has found that the knowledge of English grammar of immigrants from China and South Korea living in the United States is closely related to their age when they began to learn English. I am proficient in English when I was 7 years old, but I am poor in English after 15. This shows that the earlier children are exposed to a second language, the better it is for them to learn a second language. Many people think that some children who have been exposed to bilingual education speak very late, so it is incorrect to deny bilingual education.

When children absorb two languages during the language absorption period, they will have two different expressions, which may be the reason why some children speak late in bilingual teaching, and children's speaking late cannot be used as an excuse to deny bilingual teaching. Under the influence of bilingual environment, children will suddenly jump out of many words through language absorption, which is very surprising. This is caused by the language environment and development. Children develop rapidly in all aspects, so they have high demands on their parents. They need to judge what is good for their children's growth and what should be avoided in a limited time.
