The NF (2014) states that ‘school breaktimes are getting shorter despite pupils and teachers recognizing them as an important opportunity for physical exercise and socializing’.

Two decades of research on the integration of ICT in education has shown that although changes are taking place to integrate ICT effectively into teaching and learning, the changes are not substantial enough to bring about the required change at the required pace (Cowie & Jones, 2005; Darling-Hammond, 2005; Ehman et al., 2005; Jimoyiannis & Komis, 2007). Furthermore, the prospects of using ICT in education has been debated, researched and speculated on. The debate has changed a little, namely that
Primary schools that introduce language learning at an earlier phase may do so for a number of purposes, but it is because of the benefits of learning a language at a younger age that this paper has chosen Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) as its target scheme of work.

The promotion of foreign language education in America’s primary schools is vital to a child’s learning process, cultural awareness, and future in the workforce. Although they are scarce, there are some elementary schools across the United States that incorporate foreign language courses in the curriculum.
