  • Which pupils have access to CLIL? Investigating the schools’ choice for English-based CLIL programmes in Belgium

    Open AccessThomas Caira, Jill Surmont et al.ARTICLELanguage and Education2024

    Despite its non-elitist goals, there is growing concern over the potentially elitist nature of content and language integrated learning (CLIL) programmes in English. Previous European studies have reported more advantaged pupils’ profiles in these programmes compared to regular programmes.

To ensure compa…

  • Bilingual language control across modalities: The relationship between mixed-language comprehension and production

    Open AccessEsli Struys, Jill Surmont et al.ARTICLELinguistic Approaches to…2019

    Bilingual language control has previously been tested separately in tasks of language comprehension and language production. Whereas these studies have suggested that local control processes are selectively recruited during mixed-language production, the present study investigated whether measures of global control show the same dependence on modality, or are shared across modalities. Thirty-eight Dutch-French bilingual young adults participated …

    Open AccessEvy Woumans, Jill Surmont et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning2016Cited by: 4References: 40

    Throughout the past century, the effects of bilingualism on general cognition have been extensively explored. Studies evolved from a negative to a more positive perspective, but longitudinal assessments of effects of bilingualism are scarce. This study investigated the long-term effect of becoming a bilingual on the development of general intelligence and cognitive control. We followed 27 five-year-old children initiating bilingual kindergarten a…
