English language tools abroad: a good idea to improve your English?
At the time of globalization, the command of English becomes essential to find a good job. So inevitably, the mediocre results of your child in this subject worry you. When his teachers suggested you send him to England for a few weeks, you welcomed the idea.
However, given the prices of English language tools abroad, you wonder if these holidays will really be effective in motivating and advancing your child. What will this trip really bring him? It all depends on the formula you choose and the length of stay.
The importance of English language tools for children
It is now well known: children learn faster than adults. If you want your child to be fluent in English in the future, then the ideal is to familiarize them with the language as early as possible.
In addition, English remains the most commonly used language in the world, whether orally, in the international press, but also on the Internet, etc. In the French school system too, English is the first foreign language: having a basic knowledge from a young age is therefore very useful for the rest of your schooling.
In the long term, being able to speak fluent English will also allow your child to have more opportunities: exchange program, further studies abroad, etc.
Learning a foreign language also brings an open mind, a discovery of other cultures, and helps to develop social, cultural and thinking skills.
Better speak English with an English-speaking correspondent abroad
The idea is to invite an English student to your home for a fortnight or three weeks. A few months later, it's your child's turn to go and visit their correspondent at home. This method is the most economical. You will only have to finance the trip to send your child to his foster family.
It is also the most enriching formula: the exchange will push the teenagers to wonder about their cultural differences.
The most suitable language tool for your child or teenager
However, the most complete linguistic tool for teaching English to your child is of course accommodation with a host family.
Indeed, for parents wishing to improve their child's level of English, family accommodation in an English-speaking family will help him learn and communicate on a daily basis throughout his stay by collecting information native conversations of the English-speaking family that takes care of him.
