ABSTRACT

With the deepening development of globalization and the continuous development of international education, more and more parents support their children to accept international learning, and the phenomenon of low age of international education is prominent. Children who learn foreign languages and receive international education are getting younger and younger. Chinese children learn foreign languages early and receive international education because of the change of their parents' educational concepts and the preparation for studying abroad. There are many reasons for foreign children to learn Chinese too early, including the support of national policies, the need of personal development, the inheritance of culture by overseas Chinese, and so on. For children to learn foreign languages early and receive international education has both positive and negative effects. Receiving international education too early can help them become international talents and lay a good foundation for their future study abroad life. Leaving your family too early to study in a foreign country is not conducive to your children's physical and mental development. In addition, the younger age of international education will also have a certain impact on international schools, and international schools need to change certain teaching strategies to deal with this phenomenon.
