Gunnerud, Hilde Lowell; Foldnes, Njål; Melby-Lervåg, Monica – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
Bilingualism appears to be related to poor language and reading comprehension in the instructional language (L2). However, in the long term, an early age of second language acquisition (AoA) may produce higher levels of second language skills than a later onset of L2 exposure. Most studies on school-aged second language learners (L2 learners)…
