Children are naturally curious and consequently are able to quickly learn a second language.
Children who gain some familiarity with a second language find it easier to continue learning the language later in life. There are still other considerations to encourage parents and academic administrators to expose children to the language and culture of others. If we consider the world children live in today and will certainly encounter in the very near future, we find a community marked by rapid change and linkages among people of diverse backgrounds and cultures. Changing world demographics, boundless global telecommunications, and booming worldwide travel are only a few factors shaping the social landscape of our world. With this dynamic as a backdrop, it is all the more important for our young adults of tomorrow to communicate in a second or third language.
