Abstract:

In the last decades, English has become increasingly important in Dutch
society and, especially for adolescents, English functions as a second
language (L2). This dissertation investigates how English (L2) in addition to
Dutch as a first language (L1) affects the acquisition of the third languages
(L3) French and German in Dutch secondary education. Six syntactic empirical
studies are conducted in different groups of students enrolled in the first
four years of either Dutch/English bilingual secondary education or mainstream
Dutch education. Comprehension tasks and guided production tasks are used to
examine the acceptance and use of Dutch XVSO word order and English Adv-V word
order in French and German.

The context of a partially bilingual secondary school made it possible to
investigate L1/L2 influence on L3 acquisition amongst students in different
stages of secondary education, with varying amounts of L2 exposure and in two
different language combinations (L1 Dutch–L2 English–L3 French and L1 Dutch–L2
English–L3 German).

This dissertation shows that secondary school students use both Dutch and
English as transfer sources in L3 acquisition. A preference for either Dutch
(L1) or English (L2) depends on the amount of English (vs Dutch) the students
have been exposed to, the developmental stage of L3 learning the students are
in and the L3 being learned. Making secondary school students and teachers
aware that both the L1 and the L2 serve as background languages could help
students learning a foreign language.
