In most cases, learning another language enhances a child's English ability

Children can learn much about English by learning the structure of other languages

Common vocabulary also helps children learn the meaning of new words in English

 Experimental studies have shown that no long-term delay in native English language development

occurs between children participating in second language immersion classes

and those schooled exclusively in English

In fact, children enrolled in foreign language programs score statistically higher

on standardized tests conducted in English. A number of reports have demonstrated

that children who have learned a second language earn higher SAT scores

particularly on the verbal section of the test. One study showed that

by the fifth year of an immersion program, students outperform all comparison groups

and remain high academic achievers throughout their schooling.
