2 commenting on the key results (making claims, explaining the results, comparing the new work with previous studies) 3a limitations of this research & recommendations for future research 3b recommendations for practitioners Often, moves 2, 3a, and 3b may occur in different orders be used more than once (e.g. 3a & 3b for educational management researchers/practitioners, and then 3a &3b for language teaching researchers/practitioners) Adapted from Swales and Feak (2012:368)

7 Conclusions Although monolingualism is often depicted as normative, the best available evidence indicates that, around the world, bilingual and multilingual speakers outnumber monolingual speakers (Tucker, 1998). The current work suggests that bilingualism (and, presumably, multilingualism) is associated with a number of cognitive benefits. These findings point to the need for further work investigating the utility of these benefits in a variety of contexts. For example, cognitive benefits documented in the current work may be of use to bilingual speakers in classrooms where the language of instruction is not their native language. As the pace of immigration to developed countries increases, the incidence of bilingualism and multilingualism in these countries will also increase—as will the number of second language learners in public school classrooms. Although second language learners often present challenges within the classroom, the current analysis suggests they may also bring a number of advantages. It remains unclear how, in practice, second language learners and their instructors may capitalize on these advantages. Further work investigating the cognitive correlates of bilingualism within educational contexts is required to clarify this issue.
