Abstract

Schools play a central role in the holistic development of children, providing a structured environment that fosters their intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth, and equipping them with essential skills and knowledge for their future through the experiences each child will have at school. These contribute to the cognitive and academic development of children in several ways. First and foremost, the primary objective of school is to provide a pedagogical education to children. In this regard, the school promotes intellectual development through a structured and organized learning environment where children can acquire knowledge, develop cognitive skills, and build their academic journey. Teachers play a crucial role in delivering effective instruction, facilitating learning experiences, and providing individualized support to meet the diverse needs of students. Furthermore, schools provide resources, programs, and assessments that help children progress academically and prepare them for their future studies. Moreover, children are also exposed to several languages from a very young age, which promotes the acquisition and mastery of languages. The learning of multiple languages in a multilingual school will lead children to develop cognitive skills such as attention, memory, and executive functions. These cognitive skills are transferable and can support academic abilities in areas such as reading, comprehension, mathematics, and problem-solving. As the basis of all educational activities, whether they involve listening, speaking, reading or writing, language plays a crucial role in the fulfilment of many important tasks and goals of a school. Language in school is not only a subject to be taught, but a source of study for other subjects as well, as it enables students to gather data and gain knowledge in a variety of subject areas. As a result, primary education provides all students with a basic education as well as access to other languages, such as French or English. This initiative aims to give students an appropriate linguistic approach that enables them to communicate, express themselves and use their language skills in their academic, personal and social activities, as well as direct access to information and knowledge. Foreign language education aims as well as to give learners the ability to communicate, express themselves, and use their language skills in their school work, personal lives, and social interactions. It also helps them have direct access to information and knowledge. From this point of view, we seek through the following scientific paper to discuss the purpose of the need for children to acquire foreign languages and the most appropriate age to start learning them. We will also try to present the scientific opinions of the most important thinkers and researchers on how languages are learnt and taught and the proposed teaching methods in this field.
