This assignment is related to the specific case study about the bilingual advantage debate. The students critically compare two influential research papers on the bilingual advantage amongst which one in favour and one against the existence of this advantage, and they write a synthesis report about this comparison. Each student group chooses two papers from a list (see below), one from each category (in favour or against) and each group compares a unique set of papers. This means that in case two student groups have chosen the same set of papers, only the group that was first can keep that set of articles; the other group must choose another set. Each group writes one paper in which they compare two research articles.
he second page contains a 300-word abstract (minimum number of words = 250) in which the group summarises the main findings of their critical comparison. The main body of the paper starts on page three. Pages should be numbered.
