| contents | <p>Abstract: The present study concerns 39 samples out of 150 in total produced by one<br>bilingual student of a primary school in Germany and including both simple and short sentences<br>as well as more complex or in some cases complete paragraphs. The language of writing is<br>German, while the mother tongue is Greek. The purpose of the research is to highlight the ease<br>or difficulties that a bilingual student faces in producing written language and which factors<br>(e.g. vocabulary, grammar, syntax, level of text difficulty) influence the final result. Tableau<br>Public was used for the statistical analysis, while all 39 samples were first digitized manually in<br>Word format. They were then analyzed with the Flesch-Kincaid and Gunning Fog Readability<br>formulas, the results of which were carefully transferred to an Excel spreadsheet. The final<br>results showed that there is a relative comfort in the use of more advanced vocabulary as well as<br>the use of subordinate clauses compared to the age of 8-11. The creation of a database would<br>perhaps contribute even more to the academic and educational community in terms of a more<br>fair evaluation of texts produced by bilingual primary school students.</p> |
