| dc.description.sponsorship | The present study aimed to examine which of the following three learning contexts (Study Abroad, Summer Camp “at home” and Intensive English as a Foreign Language Classes) had the most favorable impact on second language (L2) development. The participants were 109 Catalan-Spanish bilingual learners of English (mean age = 12.91). L2 development was assessed through an elicited imitation task performed at the beginning and at the end of the programs (there were 18 days in between the two testing points in the three contexts). The task consisted of 23 simple English sentences, three of which were used to make the students familiar with the procedure. The sentences ranged between four and eight words in length and were semantically adapted to 10- to 17-year-old learners of English. As there were statistically significant differences between the three groups of participants at the pretest, instead of comparing the three posttests scores we compared the gains each group made. The main finding was that the Summer Camp “at home” context was the context where the participants made the greatest gains. However, these results have to be interpreted carefully as it was in this context where participants obtained the lowest scores at the pretest, which left them more room for improvement. | eng |
