Foreign Language in the Elementary School Program

If you already have a foreign language

program in your elementary school, you

have discovered how impressive it is to see

young children learning a foreign language.

But many other parents including me, aren’t quite

so fortunate. Statistics vary, but foreign

language programs can be found in only

about 25 to 30 percent of all public and

private elementary schools in this country.

Foreign language study should be considered

a priority, especially if we want our

children to be responsible citizens of our world by giving them an equal chance.
