Two experiments on bimodality are discussed that appear to tentatively support its potential usefulness to the study of second-language teaching. The notion of bimodality and neurological learning flow are also reviewed briefly. (23 references) (LB)

Relevant research in these areas and in the field of neurolinguistics is reviewed, with several themes or topics…
