How can English Learning help children’s development?
It promotes the children’s cognitive development: learning English other than their mother tongue
brings cognitive benefits such as improved memory, greater creative vision, development of critical
thinking and problem-solving skills. It will help boost memory, problem-solving skills, critical
thinking skills, and develop an ability to multitask. Also, children who are good in English display a
sign of enhanced creativity and mental flexibility
The social context is not the only reason for learning English. There are also more specific numerous
educational and cognitive reasons that you can explore below:
1. Enhances a positive self-concept
When children master a foreign language, they will feel strong, capable, and satisfied.
Knowing English will allow them to explore the wider world and search for the content beyond the
borders of their country. They will feel that they can achieve great things – that they will be able to
get a job abroad, enroll in a university, travel freely, and explore science to the smallest detail – 75%
of the scientific literature (80% stored electronically) is available in the English language.
Kids will feel privileged to read, watch movies without subtitles, and even just write and create their
personal content.
2. Nurture children’s curiosity and motivation
When children have mastered the English language, information on the Internet, also outside of it,
will be more accessible to them, and their interest and motivation for research will understandably
increase. They will be able to spend hours researching new topics and content that were not
available to them before.
In this way, children will develop an exceptional motivation for improvement and progress, but they
will actually become curious and willing to learn about everything that has been beyond their
linguistic and physical limits until now.
3. Improve children’s brain activity
According to studies, speaking in a foreign language or studying one, keeps your brain busy. Knowing
the English language will help your children train, also maintain a healthy and active brain. It has
been proven that bilinguals are less susceptible to Alzheimer’s and dementia and have a more
pronounced memory and creativity.
When children learn a language, they learn not only words but also sentence constructions and rules
that help them make logical conclusions and apply them in their native language. On the other
hand, while learning new words and adopting grammar rules, children actively use their brains and
exercise their memory, which in this way develops and strengthens. (Source: Active Brain Academy)
