FOREIGN LANGUAGE EDUCATION AT AN EARLY AGE, ACCORDING TO LINGUISTS
In current research on early bilingual education programs, it is argued that second language teaching has many contributions to the child. Especially in studies based on the Critical Period Hypothesis, it is stated that bilingual education programs have positive contributions to the child's language and cognitive development. In these studies, it is generally emphasized that early childhood years are a critical period not only in the mother tongue but also in the second language.
