It is believed that English should be taught in grade 1 while others argue that children shouldn't learn English as a second language until middle schools. In my opinion, children should learn language especially English as soon as possible. There are some reasons for this. 

First of all, it has already been established that children who learn a language when they are very young have a much better chance of not having a “foreign” accent when speaking another language. In other words, these learners have a better accent of English. Enjoyment is the second reason for learning English at grade 1. Young children enjoy learning. They don’t care if an activity will improve their cognitive ability or motor skills. They just want to jump in and have a great time doing it. This same approach is true for children learning a new language. It is amazing how quickly children will pick up a new language while having fun! The last reason is that young children have good support network while they are learning. Children have the opportunity for exposure and input from many different influences: parents, teachers, peers, and extended family. When both teacher and parent are on board with language learning, then children can be given language exposure, support and interaction all day long. 

All in all, I strongly agree with the saying that children in grade 1 should be taught English because of its good accent, enjoyment and support network.
