| Popis: | This paper presents the findings of a research study of the writing skill in monolingual and bilingual primary school students learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in Croatia. This research study included over a hundred participants. They were divided into two groups: monolingual and bilingual. The monolingualism / bilingualism opposition has been shown in several of the author's earlier works as an important determinant of the individual that has resulted in different achievement in mastering language skills in EFL. Writing skill was tested on writing a letter in which students were required to include certain information items. For the purpose of this paper, the author provides an analysis of deviations in the use of tenses. In addition to the conclusion, the author of the paper gives implications and guidelines for further analysis of the elements that are important for the achievement in writing skill in EFL as well as for the analysis of the differences in achievement in learning EFL between monolingual and bilingual learners of EFL in other language skills. |
