In this paper an attempt will be made to analyse the effect of variable external factors commonly said to influence the effectiveness of the bilingualisation process (such as exposure to English, periods of total immersion and years of study in second language) using quantitative research. An attempt will also be made to investigate whether a correlation can be established between a student’s preferred learning style and the extent to which any or all of the above factors may have more or less influence on their bilingualisation.Downloads
