Hello, everybody,
as I've already said, the main goal of my research project is to discuss wheter learning another language is beneficial or not to children's literacy skills. In order to accomplish this goal, I read some articles are about this issue in particular ways. I decided to post here these articles.
Bilingualism, Biliteracy, and Learning to Read: Interactions Among Languages and Writing Systems, by Ellen Bialystok, Gigi Luk, and Ernest Kwan
Emergent literacy skills in bilingual children: evidence for the role of L1 syntactic comprehension, by Alison Gabriele, Erika Troseth, Gita Martohardjono, and Ricardo Otheguy
Pupils' attitudes towards foreign-language learning and the development of literacy skills in bilingual education, by Merisuo-Storm, Tuula
They are all really interesting, and the best part it that none of the research projects found bad consequences of foreign language learning for children's literacy skills.
Hope you get motivated to read the articles, and if you do, feel free to post your comments on them here.
See you,
Amanda
