Summary

This work concern the experimentation of a didactic sequence to learn written argumentation in Basque. The subjects are two equivalent groups of 13 years old bilingual children. The experimental group follow the didactic sequence. The control group, however, does nothing special during the same period. Both groups do write argumentative texts before (pre-text) and after (post-text) the experimental period in Basque and in Spanish. As we expected, the writing preproduction in Basque of the experimental group is better in the post-text; but it has also improved in Spanish after the Basque teaching experience. We assume that the cross linguistic transfer explains this fact. The control group does not show significant progress in any of the two languages.
