标题:Immigrant Status as an Influential Factor in Additional Language Learning: A Comparison of French Language Achievement of Canadian-born Monolinguals, Bilinguals and Bilingual Immigrants
摘要:This study compares the French as a second language achievement of Canadian-born English-speaking students, Canadian-born bilingual students and bilingual immigrant students as gathered by means of a multi-skills FSL test. In addition, it seeks to explain the differences in performance by investigating the impact of a variety of influential factors that have been previously identified in the literature to date: L1 use and context of learning for bilingual groups, motivation, attitude, willingness to communicate, metalinguistic awareness and strategy use for all groups.
