초록

Monolingual children are more likely to be exposed to multiple languages than ever before as foreign language education is gaining popularity around the world and new technologies make it easier to access multiple languages. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of previous studies on the effects of foreign language exposure on children's understanding and learning of foreign languages. In this review, the experiences of foreign language exposure that affect children's understanding of foreign languages are categorized into two major aspects, namely, the amount of foreign language exposure and the types of foreign language exposure. We reviewed how each factor influences children's language learning. In addition, we suggest the direction of future research on important questions arising from the systematic review of previous studies. Suggestions for future research will ultimately explain the underlying mechanisms of foreign language learning and are expected to help develop effective foreign language learning methods.

Abstract

Monolingual children are more likely to be exposed to multiple languages than ever before as foreign language education is gaining popularity around the world and new technologies make it easier to access multiple languages. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of previous studies on the effects of foreign language exposure on children's understanding and learning of foreign languages. In this review, the experiences of foreign language exposure that affect children's understanding of foreign languages are categorized into two major aspects, namely, the amount of foreign language exposure and the types of foreign language exposure. We reviewed how each factor influences children's language learning. In addition, we suggest the direction of future research on important questions arising from the systematic review of previous studies. Suggestions for future research will ultimately explain the underlying mechanisms of foreign language learning and are expected to help develop effective foreign language learning methods.
