It seems more and more Americans want schools to teach foreign languages to children younger than five years old.The most popular way to teach these young children another language is called immersion (沉浸式语言教学法).
Children in immersion programs hear only the new language in the classroom.The children play games, sing songs and talk to one another in the new languages, some experts (专家) say immersion programs are the most effective (有效的) way for young children to learn a language.But there can be a problem when children in the United States begin to learn another language at such an early age.Not many elementary schools continue to teach a foreign language.Only seven of the fifty states require (要求) schools to teach a foreign language to students between the ages of six and twelve.Language experts say it is easier for younger children to learn a language.Still, American schools generally do not begin to teach foreign languages until secondary schools.By then, students are about thirteen years old.
American schools face difficult choices about the cost of educational programs.The government has increased support for foreign language study in its education law called No Child Left Behind.
At the college, the Modern Language Association says more students than ever are studying foreign languages and more languages are being studied now than in the past.Spanish is the most widely (广泛地) taught in American colleges and universities.French, German, Chinese and Italian are also popular.
The most popular way to teach the American children another language is called ________.

I was the typical“I can't”child-whatever my mother told or asked me to do was immediately followed by my cry,“I can't.”As a result,very few tasks or goals that I set out to achieve were ever completeD.
One evening,my mother called me into the family room.“I want you to read this article,”Mother began.“It's about Marlo Thomas.She tells how a simple poem that she was forced to learn by her father changed her life•She went from saying‘I can't’to‘I can’•According to this article,she was able to reorganize her life and her career by learning the principles(原则)in the poem.”
I took the small magazine from Mother and looked down at the pages.There was Marlo-my idol.Beside her photo was the poem my mother had spoken of,a simple poem entitled,“I Can”.
“I want you to memorize that poem,”Mother said firmly.“Mama,”I belly-acheD. “I can't learn that poem.It's too long.”
“It's not too tong and you can learn it.1 want you to know it perfectly by this time tomorrow,”said my mother.Unwillingly,I went back to my bedroom with the magazine.With a heavy heart,Ithrew myself into the bed and began my task.
“Can't is a word that is the enemy to ambition,”I began.I repeated the line.I repeated it again and again.“An enemy ambush to shatter your will…”I continued the process until I proudly recited the poem the following evening.It has now become my principle.Marlo 1 homas did not know me,but her story forever changed my life.
Saying“I can”helped me to get through the worst moments of my life: Saying“I can” encouraged me to complete things I would have otherwise seen as out of my reach.A simple poem learned at seven is a poem that will support me to seventy-seven,maybe even longer.
