Effects of bilingualism on white matter atrophy in mild cognitive impairment: a diffusion tensor imaging study
2020
Background and purpose Previous investigations show that bilinguals exhibit the first symptoms of dementia 4-5 years later than monolinguals. Therefore, bilingualism has been proposed as a cognitive reserve mechanism. Recent studies have advanced towards an understanding of the brain mechanisms underlying bilingualism's protection against dementia, but none of them deals with white matter (WM) diffusion. Methods In this study, the topic was investigated by measuring WM integrity in a sample of 35 bilinguals and 53 passive bilinguals with mild cognitive impairment. Results No significant differences were found between the groups in cognitive level, education, age or sex. However, bilinguals …
A cross-sectional and longitudinal study on the protective effect of bilingualism against dementia using brain atrophy and cognitive measures.
2020
Abstract Background Evidence from previous studies suggests that bilingualism contributes to cognitive reserve because bilinguals manifest the first symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) up to 5 years later than monolinguals. Other cross-sectional studies demonstrate that bilinguals show greater amounts of brain atrophy and hypometabolism than monolinguals, despite sharing the same diagnosis and suffering from the same symptoms. However, these studies may be biased by possible pre-existing between-group differences. Methods In this study, we used global parenchymal measures of atrophy and cognitive tests to investigate the protective effect of bilingualism against dementia cross-sectionally …

After a brief presentation describing the main traits of the literary Romanian exile, this article aims to reveal some aspects of Matei Vişniec’s poetical originality, a Romanian francophone writer who defines himself as a «lucky exiled man». The poem we’ve chosen, «At the table with Marx» («La masă cu Marx»), involves the main line of the book with the same title that was published in Romania in 2011. His explicitly political regard relates him to another text that circulated as an anti-communist manifesto during the previous years of the communist dictature fall: the well-known poem entitled «The sailing ship» («Corabia»). A parable of complicity and colective guiltiness, «At the table wi…
Thinking and Content Learning of Mathematics and Science as Cognitional Development in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL): Teaching Thro…
2005
This paper presents a study on thinking and learning processes of mathematics and science in teaching through a foreign language, in Finland. The entity of thinking and content learning processes is, in this study, considered as cognitional development. Teaching through a foreign language is here called Content and Language Integrated Learning or CLIL. CLIL refers to all those diverse programmes, including some forms of immersion and bilingual education, where a foreign language is a medium of instruction, affecting the entire learning process of the learner. Thinking and content learning in CLIL manifests itself as analogical CLIL reasoning systems, based on two languages, and is assumed t…
Divvalodības ietekme 5-7 gadus vecu bērnu valodas apguvē
2021
Maģistra darba nosaukums ir "Divvalodības ietekme 5-7 gadus vecu bērnu valodas apguvē". Divvalodība lēnām kļūst par normu visā pasaulē. Tāpēc autore šo maģistra darbu ir veltījusi divvalodībai un tās ietekmei uz valodas apguvi maziem bērniem. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir salīdzināt vienvalodu un divvalodu valodas apguvi un ieskicēt to līdzības un atšķirības, apsverot, vai bilingvisms pozitīvi vai negatīvi atspoguļo valodas apguves procesu. Lai sasniegtu šo mērķi, autore ir veikusi teorētisku pētījumu par galveno jautājumu, proti, vai divvalodība kaut kādā veidā atspoguļo valodas apguves procesu. Līdz ar to ir veikts empīriskais pētījums, lai teorētiskās atziņas aizstāvētu ar empīriskiem rezultātie…

La transmissió lingüística intergeneracional a Castelló de la Plana i la Franja: La rellevància dels usos entre progenitors
2020
Fa 50 anys, a Conflicte lingüístic valencià, Rafael L. Ninyoles situava el trencament de la transmissió familiar del català com a resultat i manifestació externa de conflictes socials i de classes, especialment visibles enmig del procés de modernització econòmica i mobilitat social accelerada del País Valencià dels anys 60 del segle XX. En aquest article partim de dos estudis de cas quantitatius sobre la transmissió intergeneracional de les llengües a Castelló de la Plana i les comarques centrals de la Franja per a actualitzar el seu diagnòstic i matisar la visió d'aquest fenomen com a resultat de decisions dels progenitors imposades verticalment a la descendència. Hi proposem que els usos …

CLIL modules and their affective impact on students with high English anxiety and low self-efficacy
2019
Many studies in recent years focused on the efficiency of bilingual education in different school settings. If a school pursues a regular implementation of CLIL modules instead of the establishment of proper CLIL streams, the student group that is affected by this teaching approach is much more diverse when compared to the preselected CLIL stream groups. In this regard, also students with high English anxiety and low self-efficacy will have to participate in the modules and it is particularly interesting to see how these student types deal with teaching units held in a foreign language. The study at hand presents results from an intervention at German schools with two biology units taught i…
