GALINDO, ANGELMIRO  y  MORENO, LINA MARÍA. Bilingual education in the Modern Languages teaching program and argumentative reading comprehension. Cuad. linguist. hisp. [online]. 2014, n.23, pp.171-190. ISSN 0121-053X.

In this research project, argumentative reading comprehension skills (in Spanish as mother tongue) of students from the Modern Languages Teaching program were compared to equivalent students of the Mathematics, Spanish and Literature, Biology en Environmental Education teaching programs. The first (Modern Languages) is the Experimental Group (EG) and the second, is the Control Group (CG). It was found that EG got better results than CG in a test about inserting connectors in a written argumentative text in Spanish; CG was remarkably different from the other three teaching programs. It could be concluded that the high performance of EG is due to the result of bilingual experience gathered through the first four semesters of the Teaching program.

Palabras clave : Bilingualism; university bilingual education; argumentative reading comprehension.
