McGill researchers who examined the writing skills of teenagers in Montreal found that the performance in French of English–French bilinguals was similar to that of near-monolingual francophones. Bilinguals were defined as teens raised in anglophone or bilingual (English–French) households and those who had had significant exposure to French through attending French-language school. Further, the English writing skills of the bilingual participants were found to be on par with their French writing skills.
