Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that bilingual children have an advantage in metalinguistic ability, meaning they are better able to think about and understand language as a system. They are also able to switch between languages more easily and have been found to have better executive functioning skills such as problem-solving and decision-making. There is no evidence that bilingual children have difficulty discriminating between languages, have more difficulty with language tasks in school, or have difficulty focusing attention. While bilingualism may lead to a slight delay in some language milestones, such as vocabulary size, overall language development is not affected.
