Learning a foreign language as an additional education is an excellent way of a child's all-round development. If you regularly master new grammatical and verbal constructions, then memory, concentration, attention will significantly improve. At the same time, the problems with learning the native language will also decrease significantly.
All that is needed is the correct comprehensive approach, which is used in many modern language centers.
Advantages of learning a foreign language as a student:
- enhanced development of the child's brain;
- improving the assimilation of other information;
- development of memory, increasing concentration of attention;
- fast switching between operations in progress;
- broadening the horizons of the child;
- improving knowledge of the native language;
- comprehension of traditions, culture of other states.
By the way, if a student is constantly learning English or other languages, then it is better not to pause during the vacation (especially for the summer). Words are forgotten very quickly, skills are lost. If possible, repeat the vocabulary during the holidays, watch films, listen to songs in a foreign language, take courses or send your child to a seasonal foreign camp.
The most effective option is to visit a language center or a tutor during the holidays. In the first case, you can even redeem a voucher for a child for exciting vacation programs.
Another option is to come to the language center immediately after the holidays, in parallel with the school. The intensity and schedule of classes allow you to choose the pace of development suitable for the child, catch up and even overtake the school curriculum, becoming the best student in the class.
Why additional foreign language classes are needed
Additional education provides students with skills and knowledge that are not taught in educational institutions at all or cover at a very low level. Children who attend extracurricular lessons better keep track of the time, they need to be in time everywhere: do school lessons, take a walk, sleep. Discipline trains organizational skills, and free time only grows. As a result, children will be more sociable, purposeful, and independent than their peers who are left to themselves and often to a tablet phone.
Knowledge of foreign languages allows the child to watch films in the original, communicate with residents of other countries, and not experience difficulties in understanding someone else's speech while traveling. The school program for this, of course, is not enough, therefore it is necessary to study additionally and only with professionals.
Additional knowledge is, first of all, the key to understanding the world. High school provides knowledge, but rarely really shows how to use it, what is needed for in-depth analysis of information. The one-sidedness of education leads to the fact that the child's academic performance is lower than it could be. It is the additional classes that give practical skills. Extracurricular activities significantly improve academic performance.
It is difficult to overestimate the benefits of learning foreign languages. So, possession of at least two delays the moment of memory impairment by 5 years or more. The cerebral cortex is overgrown with new neural connections that are responsible for learning, the speed of assimilation of new knowledge.
