Presentation Feedback

I managed to present my project to a group of students and teachers and I also received some feedback for the presentation. 

Overall I received some really good feedback on my communication and amount of content. I managed to explain the technical terms that I used in my presentation and I was able to deliver this presentation to a "non-specialist" audience effectively. 







However from some of the feedback received, I may have benefited from more concise slides or more slides with the content divided.







Overall I am satisfied with my presentation as I was able to give an overview on my topic and my findings and also explain how I managed my time and research to complete my project. This presentation also gave me the opportunity to improve my public speaking skills and answering questions on the spot. This experience made more comfortable and confident with speaking in front of a bigger crowd which I believe will help me later on at university and also at any future careers.

Final Evaluation

  What were the main strengths and weaknesses of the project?     Strengths:  - Many scientific sources and evidence - Covered both science and part of social side of being bi/multilingual - Included primary research (surveys) Weaknesses: - Not enough evidence to prove some of the theories mentioned in this project   What new skills did you learn? What new technologies did you learn?     Skills developed : - Reading, analysing and summarising academic papers and research papers - Organising and developing primary research   Technology used : - Google Scholar - University websites ( e.g. Cambridge )   In doing the project, what did you learn about yourself and the way in which you learn?           I learn that when reading academic papers, I need to break down all the information in order to understand the key findings of that specific study. For example I learn that colour

Abstract

  This research is focused on the bi/multilingual brain particularly during early stages, in children and it goes into detail on the various parts of the brain involved in the language comprehension and expression. There are many researches which prove that the adult bilingual brain is indeed different, in terms of structure and connectivity, compared to a monolingual one. However these studies do not answer the question of when the brain starts to change in bi/multilingual people and it also does not show the effect of two or more languages in a developing brain of a child. This research project is mainly focused on answering these questions and understanding if there is a structural difference between the developing monolingual and bi/multilingual brain.

How lockdown affected the children's languages usage and development - Primary Research

From the researches I have read in the past year, I could see how all the reliable methods had specific control variables. One control variable that almost every reliable research had was the child's education institute. Another one which was quite common is the child's parents level of education. This is because the researchers deemed important to understand how the environment around the child has an impact on their learning of languages. For example if the child is bilingual in Spanish and English however they spend more time in an English school then their English proficiency will be higher than the Spanish one. In the past years, lockdown gave bilingual and multilingual children the unique experience of potentially spending more time in an environment with their less proficient language.  I decided to do a survey targeting parents with young bi/multilingual children to find out what was the impact of lockdown on their children's use of languages. This idea was inspired
