1.4 Limited vocabulary and grammar knowledge Limited vocabulary and grammar knowledge can be a significant challenge for young learners when studying a foreign language. Here is some additional information on this issue:
Vocabulary acquisition: Young learners may have limited vocabulary in their native language, which can make it challenging for them to acquire new words in a foreign language. They may struggle to remember new words and make connections between the new vocabulary and their existing knowledge.
Grammar rules: Young learners may also struggle with grammar rules in a foreign language. They may have difficulty understanding the different verb tenses or sentence structures, which can make it challenging for them to communicate effectively.
Limited exposure: Young learners may have limited exposure to the foreign language outside of the classroom, which can make it difficult for them to practice and reinforce their language skills.
