The role of the native language when learning a foreign language

The main argument of this diploma is that people with more than one language have different knowledge of their first language (L1) than do monolingual people, and this difference can mainly be due to the effect of subsequent languages on the development and use of L1 skills. According to Grosjean (1992), Cook (1992), research on bilingualism has been under the influence of a monolingual view for decades although several researchers, including Meara (1983), Grosjean (1992), and Cook (1993), disagreed with this view because it treats both languages as if they were the first language.
