Psychological Approaches to the Study of Language : Part II : On Second-Language Learning and Bilingualism
Description
Essay on certain psychological aspects of language-learning influenced by social contexts. Based on research conducted among students in the bilingual city of MontreÌal. Includes comparative case studies with Franco American students in Louisiana and Maine. Case studies explore not only students' intellectual capacity, but the impact of one's social orientation toward a non-Anglophone cultural community on one's abilities and attitudes toward learning that community's language - in these cases, French. Comments on new research in second-language development. Presents new findings that compare test scores on cognitive ability in monolingual and bilingual students. Includes the sections, "A Social Psychology of Second-Language Learning" and "A Psychology of Bilingualism."
