Why teach English to children and adolescents?

First teaching any foreign language opens the student a broader picture, his world expands as learning a different language makes the one we get into a different culture. Language is not only a means of communication, an exchange of signs, is not just a code. The language is also culture, other ways of thinking, other customs, other beliefs. Faced someone to a different world we are encouraging human formation: respect the opinions of others and their culture, value their knowledge, understand their world. At the same time the student has the opportunity to have more options when it comes to solving a problem. Not only it has the answers to their own culture offers but also has the new culture he is studying.

Well, now they can rightly ask: So Why English ?.

Because we live in a globalized and technological world. Like it or not the language of technology is English. More and more everyday items: computers, cell phones, MP3, 4 ...; Ipod, home theater, WII, Play station, to name a few are in English. And not only related to entertainment but another tool that has become indispensable for many activities such as the Internet, also handled with the English language. It has been extended in the area of ​​tourism using this language. The person who usually travel abroad can tell how many times I was on the need to speak English as the only form of communication. "English has become a world language, and does not belong only to the English or the Americans" - told us a teacher. And I concur with this belief. The proof is that it is more likely that an Argentine and Japanese to communicate in English than in the other's language.

Then the English language teaching is to provide a tool that allows us to communicate more, allows us to understand and access the world of communication and technology and finally opens the doors to new cultures.

Learning a foreign language makes us more human with a wider'm not just living in this world, awareness is the other.
