 How to Introduce a Second Language to a Child:-
Instructions:-
Step1
Start early ' well before your child reaches school age if possible. Language acquisition comes quite easily to children who are just learning to speak, and they can pick up more than one language simultaneously.
Step2
Begin with simple words and phrases, just as you would with a first language, then move on to simple sentences when your child seems comfortable with a basic vocabulary.
Step3
Try the "one parent, one language" system ' if your goal is complete bilingualism, one parent consistently speaks to the child in one language, while the other parent always uses the other. This will help prevent the child from getting confused.
Step4
Be consistent. Set aside a certain time of day, or a certain set of activities, for the second language. It doesn't matter what you do ' read books, sing songs or bake cookies ' as long as you do it all in the second language.
Step5
Get books, videos and music in both languages to share with your child. The more reinforcement he gets in both languages, the faster and more thoroughly he'll learn them.
Step6
Find out if your school system offers a second-language immersion program, and ask to see the curriculum.
Step7
Immerse your child in the second language whenever possible. Take trips to places where he can speak to and listen to native speakers, and where the language will seem real and alive to him.
As you know these steps are used in America for their children, we hope to use these steps for our children and as well English students in Iraq. To be qualified in speaking, writing, reading and understanding English Language.
