The performance of 143 Malaysian five year old urban children bilingual in Malay and English (75) and Chinese and English (68) on operational tasks in English and their other language was related to their performance on vocabulary and language background. No statistically significant difference between Malay and Chinese groups was found on performance on the operational tasks. The order of acquisition of concepts showed that volume, weight and quantity were acquired in that order in three or four groups and in the fourth the order was quantity, volume and weight. The English form of the vocabulary task correlated significantly with English background for the Chinese sample but not for the Malays, and significantly and positively with performances in English on the operational tasks for both groups, but Chinese background was negatively and significantly correlated with performance on operational tasks in Chinese. It was suggested that social factors might account for the Chinese result. Malay children did significantly better in Malay than in English. |
