Abstract

This study focuses on the development of language learning of twins versus singles at their early school age (grade 3 to 8) in district Gujrat. The data has been collected from 9 participants who were divided into three groups (A, B and C) by the researchers with respect to their age. For data collection, the researchers gave the task of picture description, sentence making and passage reading to the participants of each group, both in pre-test and post-test accordingly. As the data was collected through recordings, the researcher calculated the results of all the groups manually. For the analysis of the study, SPSS (independent t-test and two-way ANOVA) software was used. Moreover, the researchers applied the socio-cultural theory of Vygotsky (1978) to explain the difference in the zone of proximal development among twins and singletons. The results showed that there is a difference in the learning of twins and singletons at every age scale. Even though the difference is present in every individual but there are some inner and outer factors as well that become the cause of differences in the learning of twins and singletons.

Keywords: Second language, Twins, Singles, Pre-test, Post-test.
