Ensino precoce de língua inglesa: desafios, oportunidades e implicações para desenvolvimento infantil

Abstract

The teaching of the English language in childhood helps the student to come into contact with a second language at an increasingly early age, allowing them to enter the globalized and technological world context in addition to allowing the development of the pronunciation and vocabulary of an early new language. Children learn a second language more easily because they have essential items for rapid learning such as: good memory and curiosity. Therefore, there are many advantages of teaching the English language to children, and this work aims to provide information about this problem currently discussed. The methodology used was an exploratory, bibliographic research that relied on the theoretical basis of some authors who deal with the theme under study. As a result we can verify that Teaching the English language in childhood promotes greater assimilation for children who learn more easily, so there are advantages to teaching the English language from the beginning of the early years.
