Is it appropriate to start teaching Indian children English as early as 4 or 5 years even though the family members of such children do not know English?
In India it's often seen that parents are over-enthusiastic about seeing their children conversing in English in the first place and finding them in a secure white-collar job later. To satisfy this demand there are a large number of private schools that provide education with English as the main medium of teaching right from nursery through secondary level. There seem to be a lot of misconceptions on the issue.
Thanks so much, JoostE! Your answere has just reaffirmed what I already heard.
