Stellingen
1. “How does the addition of another language impact on languages acquired earlier?” is one of basic questions in multilingualism research (Kees de Bot).
2. Learning an L2 and L3 simultaneously does not hinder the development in L2 writing (this thesis).
3. The interconnectedness and dynamics of individual difference factors will make the development of the linguistic system difficult to predict (this thesis).
4. Variability is a result of dynamic changes and the interconnectedness of the internal and external factors in language learning (this thesis).
5. More variability in language development is associated with more successful learners (this thesis).
6. Both language aptitude (LA) and working memory (WM) are changeable (this thesis). 7. There is a positive effect of learning two foreign languages on WM at the early stages
of learning the new language (this thesis).
8. Learners learning English and a language other than English (LOTE) have a relatively higher general interest in languages (this thesis).
9. LOTE learners can sustain a higher and more stable English learning motivation than learners learning English only (this thesis).
10. English still enjoys a dominant status compared to LOTE among language students in China (this thesis).
11. 知者不惑，仁者不忧，勇者不惧《论语》。The intelligent and the wise are never disorientated; the kind and the benevolent are never beset with worries; the brave and the valiant are never gripped with fears (史志康·译).
