Discussing a Research Project over Coffee

A

Hey, I finally got the preliminary results for my study on language attrition in bilingual children.

B

Oh, that’s fascinating. What age group are you focusing on?

A

Mainly kids between 6 and 10 who speak both Spanish and English at home.

B

Interesting. So, what did you find?

A

Well, it looks like exposure to the dominant language outside the home really accelerates attrition.

B

That makes sense. But still, that’s quite revealing.

A

Yeah, especially when the shift happens within just a few months.

B

Wow, that’s a bit alarming.

A

It is. Some kids lose fluency in their heritage language faster than we expected.

B

That’s such an important issue. I’m glad you’re researching it.

A

Thanks. I want to highlight how quickly language loss can happen when schools don’t support bilingualism.

B

You’re definitely bringing attention to something overlooked.

A

I hope so. The data is still coming in, but the trends are pretty clear.

B

Sounds like you’re on to something meaningful.

A

Thanks. It feels good to see the research taking shape.
