Early teaching of foreign language.

I disagree with the idea that kids start to learn foreign language earlier. Recently, Japanese board of education decided to advance the year to teach English. Before the decision, students in Japan start to learn English from junior high school. The announcement said students start from elementary school first~second grade of 6 grades. Some people agree with this decision. They claim Japanese people are poor at using English. Thus, students must begin to learn English earlier. On the other hand, some people disagree with the decision. They assert it is too early. Students haven't mastered their own language, Japanese, yet. The decision will have bad influences on both Japanese and English education.
Through this writing, I'd like to learn the best age to study foreign language. In addition, to compare other country with Japan, I'd like to learn good points and bad points that Japanese education of foreign language has.
