Introduction
Emergence of a bilingual population can be expected in any area in which different language groups reside and interact. When two language groups, who have no language in common, come into contact, the speakers of either language may learn partially or fully the other language. The result is bilingualism and the individuals or groups involved become bilinguals. In India, the individual as well as the societal bilingualism is widespread. In this study the term bilingualism is used in the wider sense to include multilingualism.

For over two decades linguists, psychologists, sociologists and educationists have become increasingly concerned with the problem of bilingualism. They are divided on the effect of bilingualism on the individual. Many scholars [Rao, T.S. (1971), Anand, C.L. (1972), Chickermane (1971)] are of the opinion that a bilingual child differs from a monolingual child in his academic achievement. Extensive studies have been undertaken elsewhere to study the influence of bilingualism upon the children's achievement in school in general and in languages in particular. Some studies have shown positive correlation between the two and some others revealed negative correlation. In India, however, only two or three studies have been undertaken (op.cit.). The present study is undertaken with a view to fill this gap to some extent. It is a pilot study done on some selected secondary schools in Mysore city. Its scope is restricted to the language achievement of students studying in the X class (age group 14-16). The achievement scores for the preceding two years are taken into consideration for comparative purposes.

Objectives
The main objectives of the study are to study the
(i) effect of bilingualism on language achievement;
(ii) effect of bilingualism on overall performance;
(iii) relation, if any, between the achievement in languages and in other subjects

The secondary objectives are to study the
(iv) influence of the medium of instruction on language achievement, and
(v) relationship between socio-economic background and language achievement.

Sample
From the list of secondary schools in Mysore city, five schools were selected randomly. The required information was collected in the questionnaire given as Appendix-I form each student in the X class of these schools. Two schools were of government, one private aided, one unaided and the remaining one was government school of special type. The private aided schools and one of the government schools were meant for girls only. Information was thus collected from a total of 427 students.

Data Collection
The investigator personally visited the selected schools and got the questionnaire (Appendix-I) filled (except item 13) on the spot by the subjects. The marks required under item 13 were collected later from school records. Though it was originally planned to collect annual examination marks of three consecutive years starting form 7th class, only the examination marks of 8th and the 9th classes could be collected because the examination at the end of the 7th class was a district level examination and the marks registers were not available.

Analysis
Eventhough marks in all the subjects were collected, the analysis was confined mainly to three aspects, viz., overall performance, first language achievement and third language achievement. The subjects were first divided into two groups, viz., monolingual and bilingual on the basis of their answers to item 9 in the questionnaire. If a subject spoke only one language, he was classified as a monolingual; if he spoke more than one he was classified as a bilingual. The monolingual group was further divided on the basis of the mother tongue of the subject as given in the questionnaire (like Kannada, Urdu etc.). The bilingual group was subdivided on the basis of the bilingual components of the subjects (Kannada and Telugu, Kannada and Urdu etc.). The distribution of the subjects into these classes can be seen from Table 1. Other variables like the medium of instruction, educational and occupational back-ground of parents were considered separately. }

figure

In addition to the distribution on the basis of mother tongue and bilingual composition, the languages studied in school as first and third languages were considered for further classification. (The second language in English for all the subjects). Subjects who studied Kannada as first language and Hindi as third language were called KH group; subjects who studied Urdu as first language and Hindi as third language were called the UH group; subjects who studied Hindi as first language and Kannada as third language were called HK group. This distribution can also be seen from Table 1. These groups, called language option groups (LOG), were used as subgroups for comparison within monolinguals and bilinguals. The diagrammatic representation of the above distributions is given on page 2.
Groups like TLH (TL- Tamil, H-Hindi), SK (S-Sanskrit, K-Kannada) indicated in Table 1 were grouped under others in the final analysis as the number of subjects in these groups was very small.

For purposes of comparison of the language achievement of monolinguals and bilinguals, only the KH and UH groups were considered. Since most of the HK groups students were bilinguals, this group was not considered for purposes of comparing the achievement of monolinguals and bilinguals. Of the 427 subjects covered in the survey about 43 per cent spoke more than one language and thus were bilinguals. A little over 56 per cent were monolinguals. Out of the monolinguals, about 83.5 per cent were Kannada mother tongue speakers, and 14.8 percent Urdu mother tongue speakers.

83 per cent of the monolinguals studied Kannada as first language and Hindi  Even the subjects who studied Hindi as third language, but who claimed no knowledge of Hindi in answer to item NO. 9 in the proforma were treated as monolinguals in this study. as third language and 14.88 per cent studied Urdu as first language and Hindi as third language. This entire 14.88 per cent consists of Urdu Mother tongue speakers. There were however, some Urdu Mother tongue speakers who belong to the KH group. Among the bilinguals, 64.32 per cent studied Kannada as first language and Hindi as third language; 11.89 per cent studied Urdu as first language and Hindi as third language and 22.16 per cent studied Hindi as first language and Kannada as third language. Here also, all the students who studied Urdu as first language were bilinguals with Urdu as mother tongue.

(a) Effect of bilingualism on overall performance and language achievement
It may be observed form Table 2 that in almost all the cases the average marks in overall performance and in language achievement of bilinguals are higher than those of monolinguals. But when Smirnov's test (which is used to test whether the two populations are identical or not) is used (Table 4) for the equality of two distributions form which the two sample were drawn, it is revealed that the monolinguals and bilinguals do not differ in their achievement. The exception to this is the difference in the case of the third language of single group viz., KH group, where bilinguals show better performance than monolinguals.

Out of the 242 monolinguals, 235 (97.10 per cent) have opted for their mother tongue as first language. Among the 185 bilinguals, on the other hand, only 41 (22.16 per cent) have opted for their mother tongue as first language. This means that the achievement of bilinguals in a language which is not their mother tongue has a slight edge over the achievement of monolinguals in their mother tongue. This could be interpreted as the better language achievement for the bilinguals.

The distribution of the marks among the subjects of the different groups of monolinguals and bilinguals can be seen from the Table 3(a) to 3(c) and form graphs 1 to 12. The slight but statistically insignificant edge of the bilinguals over the monolinguals in their achievement can be seen more clearly in the graphs.

There is no significant difference between the achievement of subjects in the 8th and the 9th classes as can be observed form Table 2. However, the variation in the achievement of bilinguals in the two years is relatively more than that of the monolinguals and the achievement is higher in the 9th class.

(b) Comparison of overall performance, first and third language achievement
Comparison between overall performance and achievement in first and third languages was made for the three L.O. groups (KH, UH, HK). First language performance is better than the overall performance and third language performance in the KH and UH groups but not in the HK group.

In the UH group the performance in the first language is very high. About two-thirds of the students in the 9th class and half of the students in the 8th class of the UH group have got more than 50 per cent of marks in their first language (i.e., Urdu). In the KH group slightly more than one-third of students in the 9th class and exactly one-third students in the 8th class got more than 50 per cent marks in their first language, (i.e., Kannada). Though the corresponding figures of first language (i.e., Hindi) performance for the HK group are more or less the same as in the UH group, its overall performance, particularly in the 9th class, is far better than its first language performance. 84 per cent of the students of the HK group in the 9th class have got more than 50 per cent of marks in overall performance and more than 50 per cent of the students of this group in the 8th class have got more than 50 per cent of marks in overall performance. In the KH and UH groups, on the other hand, at the most one-third and one-eighth of the students respectively, have got more than 50 per cent marks in overall performance. These differences have been represented in Tables 3(a) to 3(c) and in graphs 13-21. The reasons for these differences must have been that the performance of the HK group in non-language subjects like Mathematics, Science and Social Studies is better than the performance of the other groups in these subjects, since there is no significant difference in the language achievement between the three groups. It follows form this that the performance of HK group in non-language subjects is better than its performance in languages.

The marks of overall performance include the marks in first and third languages. Therefore, when overall performance is compared with language achievement, the comparison is not between independent entities. In order to find out the influence of language achievement in overall performance, the various regression equations of the overall performance, achievement in first and third languages with respect to different groups and classes were found out (Table 5). The regression equations partial out the other subjects like Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and English. Equations in Table 5 show that for every one per cent of increase in the first language there will be 0.4453 per cent rise in the overall percentage and every one per cent rise in the third language gives 0.2349 per cent rise in the overall percentage, provided there is no change in the marks in other subjects. The influence of language achievement on the overall performance in the KH and the HK groups in both classes is more or less the same but in the UH group it is different. For one per cent rise in the marks of the first language of the UH group, there is 0.3 per cent rise in the overall performance, and for one per cent rise in the marks of the third language there is 0.17 per cent and 0.31 percent rises in the overall performance in the eighth and ninth classes respectively. The UH group thus differs significantly from the other groups with regard to the influence of language achievement in overall performance.

From equations IA and IB, it may be observed that for KH group the increases in the overall performance of eighth class are 0.6408, 0.2340 for monolinguals and 0.5664, 0.1976 for bilinguals for one per cent rise in the first and the third languages respectively. Similarly, the corresponding figures for the ninth class are 0.5663, 0.2834, 0.5568 and 0.2869 respectively. That is, the influence of the achievement in languages on the overall performance is more in the case of monolinguals. Also, the influence of language achievement is higher in the ninth class.

Note: OP is overall performance
Because the groups were very small, separate correlations for mono and bilinguals of UH and HK groups were not given.

It may be observed form Table 6 that the correlation between first language and overall performance is more than 0.54 in all the cases and the maximum (0.857) is in the HK group and minimum (0.548) in the UH group for the ninth class. For the eighth class, the correlation between first language achievement and overall performance is more than 0.64 in all the cases and maximum (0.848) is in the HK group and minimum (0.648) in the UH group. Similarly, the correlations between the overall performance and the third language performance for KH, HK and UH groups are 0.5597. 0.4469, 0.5166 in the eighth class and 0.7467, 0.7246 and 0.6135 in the ninth class, respectively.

It may also be seen from Table 6 that the correlations between the first language achievement and the third language achievement are very low compared to the other correlations. In the case of the UH group one would expect a high correlation between Urdu, the first language, and Hindi, the third language. But it is not so here.

The correlations between the first and the third language achievement and the overall performance were also tested by the 'Wilcoxon signed rank test' and the decisions are given in Tables 7(a) to 7(c). As found earlier, it can be seen here also [Table 7(a) to 7(c)] that the average performance in first language is better than the overall performance in all the cases except for HK group. The third language performance in the ninth class is better than the performance in the eighth class. The 'decision' column in Tables 7(a) to 7(c) also gives whether the average performance is lower or higher


(c) Language achievement in relation to the achievement in non-language subjects
The correlations between achievement in first language and other non-language subjects like Mathematics (M), Science (S) and Social Studies (SS) were calculated and are given in Table 6. It may be seen that the correlations in the case of KH and HK groups are very significant. The correlations of HK group are the highest. The actual values lie between 0.5356 and 0.7869 for Mathematics, between 0.5442 and 0.6710 for Science and between 0.4371 and 0.7385 for Social Studies. In the eighth class, the correlations between the first language and Mathematics and Social Studies of the UH group are negative but all the correlations of this group are very insignificant. In the 9th class the correlations for the UH group are also insignificant but all are positive.

(d) Comparison of the achievements of KH, UH and HK groups
The comparison of the achievements of different groups was made by drawing the 'frequency polygons' of their distributions as shown in graphs 22-27. It was also tested for the differences between the groups by using Smirnov's two sample test. It may be observed from both the graphs and the Smirnov's test that the performance of HK group is better than the other two groups. The performance of the UH group in Hindi (the third language) is better than that of the KH group. The overall performance of the UH group is low eventhough its first language performance is far better than the other groups.

(e) Comparison of the achievements of different categories of bilinguals
The different categories of bilinguals are Kannada and Telugu, Kannada and Urdu, Kannada and Malayalam, Kannada Tulu, Kannada Marathi, and Kannada Tamil bilinguals. The equality of the average performance of the different categories of bilinguals in the first language, the third language, etc., was tested by using Smirnov's two sample test. It is observed that all the bilinguals groups do not differ significantly in overall performance as well as in first and third language achievement.

Graph 28

(f) Individual variation among the subjects
From Table 2 it is observed that the standard deviations among the marks of bilinguals are greater than those of monolinguals in all cases. For all the groups the variation in the first language achievement in the eighth class is greater than that of ninth class variation. For KH and HK groups, the variation in the third language achievement and overall performance in the eighth class are less than that of ninth class. But for UH group, the variation in the third language of the eighth class is more than the variation in the ninth class of the same group. For all the groups (KH, HK, UH), the variation in the overall performance is less than the variations in the first and third language achievements. The maximum variation is found in case of third language (Hindi) achievement.


(g) Comparison of the achievements of the students with different media of instruction
Earlier studies (Anand 1971) have shown that educational achievement is better when the medium of instruction is the mothertongue. In this study, as a secondary interest, the performances of the Kannada medium students of KH group and the English medium students of the same group were compared and tested for their disparity. The comparison was also made by drawing the 'Percentage polygons of their distributions as shown in graphs 34-39. The performance differences of the student sin the two media were tested by using Smirnov's two sample test for the identity of the two distributions from which the two samples were drawn. Tables (9a) and 9(b) show that the students with English medium do better than the Kannada medium students in both the first and the third languages in the eighth and the ninth classes. Their overall performance is also better than the Kannada medium students. This is also true in the case of mother tongue groups. This observation must be verified by a larger and more controlled survey.

(h) The effect of socio-economic background on language achievement
Anand (1971) has shown that the socio-economic factors influence the academic attainment of students to a great extent. This study also substantiates this finding as far as the overall performance is concerned, but not in the case of language achievement. The parental occupation and education do not seem to affect the student's language achievement except in the case of students whose parents are teachers.

Conclusion
1. There is no significant difference between the first language achievement of monolinguals and bilinguals though the bilinguals have a slight edge-over over the monolinguals in their achievement in the first language.

2. In the case of third language (Hindi) performance, the bilinguals differ form the monolinguals. Bilinguals have done better (44.61 per cent) than the monolinguals (40.10 per cent). The languages of the major bilingual groups are Telugu and Kannada, Tamil and Kannada, Urdu and Kannada, Marathi and Kannada and Tulu and Kannada. Among these bilingual groups, the third language (Hindi) performance of each group is equal. Among the monolinguals, Urdu mother tongue students' performance in the third language (Hindi) is better (47.9 per cent) than the Kannada mother tongue students' performance (38.7 per cent).

3. The overall performance of monolinguals and bilinguals does not differ significantly.

4. Language achievement has high positive correlation with the overall performance in the case of monolinguals, except in the case of the UH group of the monolinguals. Its performance in the first language (Urdu) is much higher than their overall performance. Given conclusion 3, this implies that in the case of bilinguals, achievement in non-language subjects has high positive correlation with the overall performance.
