Abstract

This research is about learning English as a second language at an early stage, where its main purpose is to reveal the impact on learning a second language during childhood. The participants were primary level students from four different public schools, which have high rates of vulnerability. The methodology is qualitative and this allows a greater flexibility and closeness within the everyday life context of the participants. The analysis used was the descriptive content analysis. This allowed for the making of inferences and applying them to the context in which this research was developed. Concerning to the main finding is clear that students who began English language exposure at younger ages, formally, achieve better learning, comprehension and motivation to it, than those who started at a later age
