Results\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\treveal that a significant majority of parents advocate for an early\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstart in year 1 or 2 of primary school, generally aligning with\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttheir strong conviction of the importance of English, high\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\teducational aspirations and expectations, and their own (early)\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstart of language education. The findings contribute to a deeper\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tunderstanding of parental perspectives that have also shown to be\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trelated to multiple indicators of educational success in general and\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tachievements in language learning in particular.</jats:p>"}],"date_updated":"2025-12-09T17:26:21Z","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9789027223449"]},"_id":"62203","citation":{"bibtex":"@inbook{Rumlich_Porsch_2025, place={Amsterdam}, title={Starting early or late?
