　　But experts are split on English education for toddlers.

　　Norimitsu Tosu, a linguistic anthropologist at Keio University, Japan, said heavy exposure to English at an early age helps children develop listening ability and phonics.

　　Americans in business

　　THE Bush administration of United States promotes its new initiative to keep the US competitive by encouraging innovation through tax breaks for corporate research spending. However, some US experts worry that the administration's current push doesn't do anything to address the US's globalization Achilles' heel: Americans' lack of foreign language skills, reports USA Today.

　　"Like it or not, knowledge of the world is no longer a luxury," says Michael Levine, executive director for education at the Asia Society of US. "Other countries are moving ahead with their educational systems, and it's certainly a competitive advantage for them." For example, in China more than 200 million students study English. In the US, just 24,000 American kids are studying Chinese. Less than 1 per cent of today's American high school students are studying the languages likely to be among the most important to the US's future: Chinese, Arabic, Farsi, Korean, Japanese and Russian, according to the US Education Department.

　　Foreign language study in the US traditionally has been introduced as an elective at the middle and secondary school levels. But nowadays parents increasingly are demanding foreign language study for their children in preschool. The government also encourages people to learn new languages. The administration unveiled a US4 million programme aimed at increasing the number of Americans fluent in such critical languages. The initiative is motivated largely by national security concerns but is expected to have spillover benefits.

　　According to the Bureau of International Information Programmes (BIIP), US Department of State, gone are the days when many American students suffered a regimen of dull classroom work followed by long hours locked up in "language labs" listening to language tapes. Nowadays, innovative school curriculums, entertaining and affordable interactive computer training programmes, more opportunities to travel and a broader global outlook have motivated people to learn new languages.

　　Jane Morse, a staff writer of Washington File, the product of BIIP, said, "Children are taught new languages using songs, rhymes, games and television shows. Affordable computer programmes allow students to learn new languages at their own pace.

　　"On many of the language-training compact discs, students can record their own voices and compare their pronunciation to that of native speakers. The programmes include photos, drills, quizzes and interactive games that make learning a language engaging and enjoyable."

　　有關(guān)語言學(xué)習(xí)的英語作文篇5：Taiwan parents want English as official 2nd language

　　Up to 80 percent of Taiwan parents hoped the government would declare English the second official language of Taiwan, according to findings of a survey released yesterday.

　　The survey was conducted by King Car Education Foundation in December 2005 on 2,059 parents around Taiwan. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.

　　The survey showed that 90 percent of the parents lack confidence in their English ability.

　　Meanwhile, more than 60 percent of Taiwan parents send their children to cram schools to learn English, with 70 percent hoping their children will develop an interest in English at the cram schools.

　　Officials at the foundation noted that the TOEFL scores of Taiwan students have for several consecutive years occupied the bottom places among Asian students, and that the TOEIC scores of the Taiwan people ranked ninth from the bottom around the world, which they said shows that the English ability of the Taiwan people is still insufficient despite the English-learning fever in the country.

　　Although most parents do not expect cram schools to significantly boost their children’s English ability significantly, they hope their children will have stronger English ability after attending the cram schools.

　　While English is now being taught starting in the third year of elementary school in Taiwan, the survey showed that 40 percent of elementary students started to learn English at pre- school age.

　　On the advantages of allowing children to start learning English early, 97 percent of the parents said better English ability will promise better job opportunities, and 85 percent said enhancing the English ability of the Taiwan people will help upgrade the country’s competitiveness.

　　While 60 percent of the respondents recognized the government’s efforts to promote English education, they gave Taiwan’s English education a failing grade — 57.5 on a 100-point scale.

　　Also, 70 percent of the parents believed the government’s education policy has the greatest influence on the younger generation.
