The pre-eminence of early exposure to foreign languages: case study babe's kindergarten pupils, Oran

Abstract EN

The field of language science has long sought relevant factors to explain differential foreign language attainment for early and late acquirers.

so, if there are age effects on foreign language acquisition, what could they be? how important early exposure is to foreign languages as early as kindergarten? and does this affect the didactical methodologies adopted in the learning and teaching of the target foreign language? to answer the previous inquiries, this research paper provides a participant observation of four to six years old pupils in kindergarten, to understand children's behavior in acquiring a foreign language.

the results of the observation will serve as background data to investigate the pre-eminence of early exposure on children's future language proficiency.

the findings of this research paper suggested some constructive methodologies and worthwhile procedures for children's better foreign language learning and teaching outcomes.
